Chapter 389 Jade Palace Immortal Venerable Suppresses Dao Master, Winnowing Basket Society Prepares for Massacre (1.21 Million Views, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Faced with De Dingwang's direct attack, Bi Fang remained silent.

It couldn't express its opinion—it certainly hoped Wang Yulou would make a good push, but supporting Wang Yulou's push was unlikely.

By taking advantage of the turmoil in the situation and people's hearts, Xiao Wang has entered into the main contradiction of the endless struggle for supremacy among the heavens from a very special angle.

It's very difficult to handle, really very difficult to handle.

“King Deding, Fellow Daoist Rakshasa, I understand your demands, but the core issue now lies with Wang Yuque.”

This young Wang, though residing in the Four Spirit Realms, is stirring up trouble throughout the entire world, even going further than the Boundless Dao Lord.”

Bifang expressed its predicament; it even seemed about to shrug.

Nestled in Luocha's arms, Qingrui's mind raced, and she instantly understood Bifang's meaning.

Bi Fang's statement that "the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is even more excessive than the Boundless Dao Lord" is not an exaggeration.

What the Immortal King said is true—the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has begun to surpass the Limitless Dao Lord in certain dimensions, displaying a level of confrontation belonging to the top Golden Core level.

The problem here is that we must not mechanically, absolutely, or one-sidedly link the strength and cultivation of those who pursue the Dao with their actions.

The idea that someone can gain three parts benefit with only three parts effort is contrary to the reality of the world.

The Lord of Limitless Dao is very strong, but his strength is similar to that of the King of Unfixed Dharma. Their key strikes are meant to change the world and directly determine all changes in the endless heavens, the endless past, and the endless future.

Therefore, whether it is Bifang, Wuji Daozhu, or Wuding Fawang who hides away to put away a winnowing basket, they all seem to be very turtle-like.

They possess great strength, but they have a clear understanding of the perilous situation they face, so they will never waste their strength easily.

Wang Yulou was different; he went all in.

Shui Zun Suo Wan Xiao Wang Suo.

Water management is not the same as being weak and ineffective.

When the time is right, even highly accomplished cultivators who have mastered the art of water can charge forward.

It can be said that when this battle for supremacy between two masters reached the point where Wang Yuque passed the ball, everyone was stunned.

No, where did you come from?

To be even more precise, the mentality of the crowd at the Boluo Club, who were practically begging for gold, was akin to, "Is this guy really eight years old?"

It's really absurd to think about it; the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has only been a Daoist for less than two thousand years.

Two thousand years is ridiculously short compared to the lifespan of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for someone who has reached the highest level of the Golden Elixir realm.

But the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable spent less than two thousand years pushing his will into the Bo Luo Society.

Old Deng, I'm here!

So what are you planning to do with it?
If we can't kill it, we can actually completely block all its actions and the influence it creates within the larger world.

King Zaonan, one of the three immortal kings, offered his own solution.

If a tiger doesn't show its power, people will mistake it for a sick cat.

In his eyes, it was time to let the newly promoted Xiao Deng see what a top-tier Golden Core was like.

Otherwise, these little devils would be so arrogant that they would be completely out of control, which would be disgusting.

"Hehe, King Zaonan, King Deding, I understand your opposition to the expansion of Yulou's Dingjin."

But I support it, and I think many Golden Core cultivators on the Immortal Alliance's Immortal Platform also support it.

"You can't just wipe out the Immortal Alliance first, can you?"

Shui Zun finally stopped pretending—making no attempt to hide anything, he openly supported Wang Yulou to challenge the anti-heaven plan set by the current 'Great Heaven and Earth Anti-Heaven and Outer Heaven Alliance'.

King Zaonan smiled, did not argue with Water Venerable, but secretly began to communicate with his allies.

"Brother Dongwei, the situation is not quite right. Bifang supports Wang Yuque, and Shuizun supports Wang Yuque."

One of them is a driving force behind the current order, and the other is a leader within the Immortal Alliance.

With their support, it seems that Wang Yuque really has a slight chance of making this happen.

Back then, we all thought that Mangxiang was the extraordinary prodigy of the new era.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuque, a disciple of Mangxiang, rose step by step and stole all of Mangxiang's opportunities.

This kid is quite interesting.

Jia Ling Wang Jiadong shook his head slightly; Wang Yulou's identity remained a mystery.

When Wang Yulou was still a junior, the top warriors only glanced at him while observing the wild elephant.

At that time, everyone's judgment was similar—a personification of the surging white waves in the tide, a lucky little kid.

As for later
'Unexpectedly, Brother Zaonan is also worried that Wang Yuque's identity is questionable.'

Shui Zun's previous investigation of Wang Yuque caused quite a stir among the Golden Immortals and above in the Great Heaven and Earth.

Many people have already begun to refer to the ideas of Shui Zun in cultivating the Golden Valley Garden and start making plans for the future.

In my opinion, Luocha's deduction that "Wang Yuque has been possessed by the Wuji Dao Master, which is why he is causing chaos in the world" is nonsense.

However, it's difficult to determine whether Wang Yuque is a follower of Shui Zun or Bi Fang.

The water vessel was self-directed and self-acted.

Bifang pretends to be clever and hides the chess pieces.

Wang Yuque's rise to fame seems too extraordinary to outsiders, so both possibilities could be true.

However, the discussion between the King of Zaonan and the King of Jialing about the 'true' identity of Wang Yuque at this time actually had nothing to do with the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable himself.

Their focus is on the fact that if Wang Yuque is a beautifully packaged chess piece, the fact that this piece is now influencing the course of the game must mean that it is being controlled by someone.

Correspondingly, both Shui Zun and Bi Fang support the expansion of the top-tier system—these two are the popular guesses to be the actual controllers of the 'Wang Yu Que' chess piece.

Then you'd say this isn't a coincidence?
If you really think it's a coincidence, then you shouldn't expect to become the sole ruler.
'Wait a minute, I'll go sound out Cangshan.'

After all, he had witnessed Wang Yuque's rise to power firsthand.

Moreover, he observed Wang Yuque's location to be closer to Wang Yuque himself than we were.

We must do everything in our power to stop TopGold from expanding its capacity; we absolutely cannot allow it to happen.

However, besides stopping this, we also need to figure out why Wang Yuque was so motivated.

"Neither Taihe Water nor that thieving bird are easy to deal with," King Zaonan analyzed.

The expansion of the Golden Peak is beneficial to the Water Venerable, to Bifang, to the Jade Palace of the King, to all the Lesser Ascendants, to the Great Heaven and Earth, and to the fight against the Lord of the Limitless Dao.

They looked like they were on a winning streak; they shouldn't have lost at all.

However, it is detrimental to the top-tier Golden Core cultivators at the Bamboo Basket Gathering, and also to the small group of the strongest Golden Core cultivators among the endless heavens.

Therefore, no matter how many advantages it has, and even though the three top-tier or near-top-tier beings—Blue Forbidden Dragon God, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, and Taihe Water Venerable—have invested huge sums in this matter, it still faces the most severe obstacles.

The conversion of rice paddies to mulberry fields clashed with the conflict between the old and new order of the Ming Dynasty court, and it also had its own drawbacks, so it could not be pushed forward.

Ultimately, it became a chessboard and stage for numerous forces to fight each other.

The expansion of the top-tier system is not about converting rice paddies to mulberry fields—it was designed from the very beginning to smash the chessboard and reorganize the game!

Smash Jiajing's hypocrisy and sanctimonious facade, smash the old order of Yan's faction, smash the false righteousness of the Qingliu faction, smash the local power cliques, and smash everything that is truly crucial.

That's why the top-tier Golden Core cultivators wouldn't give an inch.

The nesting of macro-order and micro-order constitutes the real world.

The expansion of the top-tier system involves altering the distribution of benefits at the highest level of the cultivation world.

The Jade Palace Immortal's blade appears extremely gentle, employing all sorts of advantageous, compromising, and opportunistic tactics.

But the top-tier members have always been extremely strong and skilled, so they can certainly see the key to their abilities.

Gods cannot display health bars!

Therefore, the top-level, most fundamental, and most deeply hidden order of interest distribution must not be touched in the slightest!

If it moves, its health bar will light up.

Anyone who has played games knows that no matter how strong a boss is, as long as it has a health bar, it can be killed!

What is the situation within the Immortal Alliance in Cangshan?

Wang Yuque's plan seems to be to use the Qunxiantai platform to distribute the expanded top-tier cakes.

Then, by leveraging the power of the Immortal Alliance to support Taihe Water, was I right?

The King of Zaonan took the initiative to ask Cangshan a question, which made Cangshan feel flattered.

It's been so many years, it's been in the winnowing basket for just as many years.

Over the years, Zaonan Wang has never contacted it or had any in-depth communication with it.

why?
I don’t like it!
Today marks the first time in many years since Cangshan entered the Boluo Association that the King of Zaonan has contacted it.
But after a brief moment of being flattered, Cangshan felt a deep sense of humiliation.

This is as outrageous as your first love, who has already had her second child and is seven months pregnant, contacting you just to borrow money to pay bail for her blond boyfriend.

It was extremely humiliating, but Cangshan could only hold back, displaying the composure befitting a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

King Deding once warned it that the Winnowing Basket Meeting was the real battlefield.

Here, invisible knives and swords constantly assess the existence of the 'relative type of shabi'.

As a newly promoted top-tier Golden Core cultivator, one must be able to endure, think things through, and display composure.

Otherwise, it would truly be marked as a 'rare treasure'.

Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't want others to think of you as a 'rare treasure,' would you?

Therefore, despite feeling humiliated, Cangshan did not show it.

'Fellow Daoist Zaonan guessed correctly. Wang Yuque is currently at the Qunxiantai, explaining his plan to expand the top of the gold mine.'

The Water Venerable strongly supports it; in fact, it was with the Water Venerable's help that it came to the Great World.

Furthermore, Wang Yuque did exploit the ulterior motives of the ordinary Golden Core cultivators on the Immortal Platform.

As expected, the King of Zaonan sighed, showing no joy at having guessed his opponent's strategy.

Because at this level, within a confrontation, the cost of a conspiracy is often not lower than that of an open strategy.

In order to gain an advantage, the Wuji Dao Master deliberately destroyed his own Outer Heaven. Now, judging from the result, this move was not brilliant or victorious in all dimensions.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's strategy is to use the most upright and honorable open schemes to achieve his goals step by step.

What he relied on, of course, was his status as a 'foreign guest'.

If the true form of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable were in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), how could it dare to be so arrogant?
"What are your thoughts?" King Zaonan asked Cangshan.

It actually guessed the answer, but still wanted to confirm it.

The Golden Core cultivators on the Immortal Platform do not want to see the Immortal Alliance become the first battleground in the struggle between the Limitless and the Limitless.

Furthermore, I wanted to see if I could extract even more benefits from Bifang and from us top-tier Golden Core cultivators.

The key point is still that word 'greed'.

People are driven by self-interest, and even those who pursue the right path to the top cannot escape the principle of self-interest.

"For a pittance of profit, they'd become accomplices to evil? Are they all brainless idiots? Cangshan, you're also a leader of the Immortal Alliance."
"Wait, I remember you, aren't you the founder of the Immortal Alliance?" King Zao Nan suddenly realized something was wrong.

Cangshan did not answer, because the question was quite awkward.

He was, of course, the founder of the Immortal Alliance, but he had been turned into a giant turtle by Water Venerable and Qingrui.
"Yes, you can try to persuade those Golden Core cultivators that the overall situation of the world is to fight against the Wuji Dao Lord."

If other forces, including top-tier Golden Core cultivators like us, fall in this confrontation, allowing the Wuji Dao Master to reign supreme.

Therefore, those Golden Core cultivators within the Immortal Alliance who fantasize about a life of modest wealth and comfort only face one path: death.

Integrating the entire universe is a goal we are determined to achieve, with Bifang taking the lead and the Boluo Association members providing support.

However, King Zaonan's answer actually revealed the true meaning of the Boluo Society's gold offering—support was acceptable, but asking for benefits was not.

Suppressing the water and consolidating through warfare is itself a low-cost integration method.

In this process, many people knew there was a problem, but they were unable to unite and therefore could not resist.

Those outstanding cultivators, in the meritocratic world of cultivation, will soon be accepted by the old system and become members of the core executive layer.

Therefore, with no one taking the lead and all cultivators being selfish and self-serving, they naturally had no choice but to comply. (Here, 'all' is a general term; of course, countless 'Wind Sword Immortals' will appear, but these numerous individual cases still cannot represent the whole.)
It can be said that the grand strategy devised by the Bo Luo Society and Bi Fang before the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable jumped out was working extremely well.

Taihe Water Vessel tried its best to save itself, break through the impasse, find opportunities and leverage points, but all its efforts failed. In the end, it still took the initiative to compromise, accepted the corresponding conditions, and became the vanguard.

From this perspective, it's not that the King of Zaonan was arrogant and evil, but rather that he had always been this way.

The order of the cultivation world has always been determined by the top Golden Core cultivators.

'I'll try my best, but, Fellow Daoist Zaonan.'

If, I mean if.

If the Immortal Alliance truly unites, it will give Taihe Water leverage to demand a price from the Boluo Association.

So, what should we do?

"we"

King Zaonan smiled; it could see that even Cangshan was afraid.

Cangshan is likely still facing a double blockage.

On one hand, there's the fear that if Water Venerable and Wang Yuque actually succeed in getting things done within the Immortal Alliance and obtain the will of the 'Immortal Alliance's Golden Cores,' a fierce confrontation will erupt over the 'Top Golden Expansion'.

On the other hand, there's the fear that the top-tier Golden Core cultivators, in their efforts to suppress Water Venerable and Wang Yuque, might implicate the Immortal Alliance and even Cangshan itself.

They were both afraid that Taihe Water Venerable and Jade Palace Immortal Venerable would be too successful, and also afraid that they would be too unsuccessful.

This is the helplessness of being caught in the middle.

Every Golden Core cultivator, every Golden Core master, every cultivator has probably had moments of fantasy.

I fantasize about escaping this turbulent sea of ​​suffering and attaining true freedom and ease.

But when the fantasy ends, everyone eventually lives in reality.

It's tough, but we can only endure it.

Those who cannot endure it are those whose spiritual cultivation is insufficient and whose spiritual heart is flawed, and will be gradually eliminated.

Therefore, once you break free from the perspective of a low-level cultivator or mortal, the essence of cultivation is indeed a marathon without an end.

The position of supreme dominance may seem like the finish line, but no one has ever reached it. Whoever dares to stop will become someone else's 'energy replenishment package'.
'It's hard to say. My idea is to send a few people to the Four Spirit Realms to kill Wang Yuque directly.'

If the Water God still refuses to compromise, then let's have a brief skirmish within the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

The struggle between the Limitless and the Limitless is important, but surely we top-tier Golden Core cultivators can't be eliminated before the Limitless are even determined?

King Zaonan was peddling his ideas to Cangshan.

No compromise!

Never compromise!

Because accepting the outcome of being "gently cut" will most likely lead to a situation where "the battle for supremacy is not over yet, and ordinary top players are kicked out first."

'Yes, killing Wang Yuque directly is the best course of action; he should have died long ago.'

This person is too restless and lacks a certain... I can't say for sure.

But after observing Wang Yuque for a long time, I always felt that he seemed different from ordinary cultivators.

King Zaonan answered Cangshan's question; in fact, it had seen the same problem.

'Reverence, it has never truly revered any person or any rule.'

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has never respected anyone, not even those in the Purple Mansion, Golden Core, or Top-Tier Golden Core.

The thoughts and ideas of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable have always been "I can do it too," and even surpass it.

The reason is of course impossible to verify, but everyone can certainly see this lack of respect.

Yes, it had the mindset of a strongman from the very beginning.

That kind of mentality of 'I know that great cultivators are not easy to deal with, so I will endure it'.

Many useless people, by enduring and enduring, eventually become domesticated cattle and horses.

But Wang Yuque was never tamed; it merely pretended to obey while observing coldly from the sidelines.

Now that it has enough strength, it has stopped pretending altogether.

Cangshan felt a pang of emotion, realizing that many things actually had traces of their origin from the very beginning.

However, Wang Yuque was too insignificant at that time, so Cangshan didn't pay much attention to it.

Looking back now, Xiao Wang's success today was actually somewhat inevitable.

Of course, luck played a part.

There's nothing to hide about this—but even top-tier Golden Core cultivators are not without the favor of luck during their cultivation process.

Often, good fortune truly only favors the strong.

"Fellow Daoist Cangshan, you are right. There are many suspicious points about Wang Yuque's mentality."

Have you ever considered that it might be an external avatar or a Dao embryo of some cultivator?

My friend Dongwei and I discussed this for a long time, but we still couldn't come up with a solution.

Fellow Daoist Cangshan, you have, after all, witnessed Wang Yuque's rise to power.

"So, has there been any special discovery?" King Zaonan asked tentatively.

After a moment's thought, Cangshan decided to give King Zaonan some face.

Yes, when Wang Yuque was in Qingxifang, he was controlled by Shenguang's supernatural powers.

Those who witnessed it recall that Wang Yuque was able to break free of control even after being taken into custody.

From this perspective, Wang Yuque possessed extraordinary qualities from the very beginning.

However, those who reach the Golden Core stage all have secrets to some extent.

So for a long time, I didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, you know about divine light, right?

Da Xiu is no fool. Once the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable becomes a Golden Core cultivator, anyone with a discerning eye will collect information about him.

Xiao Wang's extraordinary abilities in his early years were naturally discovered.

'Yes, if it's divine light, then that's actually normal.'

Wang Yuque was naturally gifted, while Shenguang was ridiculously stupid.

Adding and subtracting is not very meaningful. Nevertheless, I thank you, Fellow Daoist Cangshan.

You can't just laugh when Shenguang is being a clown.

The already corrupt Divine Light Immortal Venerable is still playing a role, using his incompetence to assist the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Therefore, the 'functional waste theory' is not a joke at all; it has a certain practical significance.

Of course, it's difficult to use it well or effectively.

There's no need for thanks; we should communicate more.

Xiao Cang achieved enlightenment late in life, having previously cultivated by listening to stories from fellow Daoist Zao Nan.

I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to sit down and discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Zaonan in this lifetime.

I'm truly overwhelmed with emotion.

The flattery of Cangshan will not diminish his honor, and the King of Zaonan will not underestimate a tolerant opponent.

Just like how winning can turn into losing, at this moment, Cangshan Mountain is showing the extraordinary nature of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

I don't care if I'm humiliated, ignored, or treated as an outsider.

I will just keep moving forward, that's all.

Haha, Fellow Daoist Cangshan, you!

Then let me add one more thing—the Water Venerable's actions, such as expanding the top gold, are just a poisoned bait.

It seems like there are a lot of benefits, but we are the ones who suffer the most, while Bifang suffers the least.

And you, fellow Daoist Cangshan, how do you see your loss?

Cangshan fell silent.

If the expansion of the top-tier platform is successful, what will be its losses?
I'd rather not answer; that answer was too hurtful.

The positive but idiotic logic is that Cangshan is no longer at the bottom.

The real and negative logic is that Cangshan neither enjoyed the luxury of being a top-tier gold mine under the old order of the previous era, nor did it catch up with the ease of achieving top-tier gold under the new order of the era of expansion.

It's like buying a house at its peak, taking out a 30-year loan with interest almost equal to the principal, only to see prices plummet the very next day.
It's not so bad for an ox or horse to be so humiliated by the times, but for a top-tier Golden Core cultivator to be so humiliated...
It can be said that with just one sentence, the King of Zaonan made Cangshan completely lose its composure.

The discussions about the Golden Elixir among Zaonan Wang, Jia Dongwei, Cangshan, and others at the Boluo Society were conducted in secret.

On the platform of the Bo Luo Dao Lun Tai, King De Ding and King Zao Nan were still arguing with Shui Zun.

"Taihe Shui, don't laugh. Many things are interconnected."

You can't make the Immortal Alliance your bargaining chip and use it to achieve something; it's not something you can do on your own.

"Fellow Daoist Cangshan, Fellow Daoist Luosha, what are your thoughts?"

King Zaonan directly pointed out the designs of the Water Venerable and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, and attempted to undermine the Water Venerable's plan by disrupting the power struggles within the Immortal Alliance.

This line of thinking is actually quite correct. By offering verbal support without incurring any consequences themselves, they provided Qingrui and the others with the motivation to fight against Taihe Shui and Wang Yuque.

The two names it specifically mentioned are Cangshan and Luosha, one of whom may become the biggest loser in the 'Golden Expansion', and the other is the former master of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

To put it simply, Cangshan and Luosha's attitude towards the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is pure hatred.

Pure hatred!

“Fellow Daoist Zaonan is right.”

Taihe Water, the Immortal Alliance, is not your Immortal Alliance alone.

It's certainly not Wang Yuque's Immortal Alliance.

Facing the gazes of the cultivators of the Boluo Society, Cangshan stepped forward.

Well done, you didn't embarrass yourself!

Only Rakshasa frowned—it couldn't stand the word 'dog'.

As a dog demon who attained enlightenment, it naturally had its share of troubles.

It claimed that it had attained enlightenment, but others said it had eaten excrement in the past.

It claims to be powerful, but others say it used to eat shit.

It claims to be at the pinnacle of its life, while others say it used to eat shit.

Luo's resolve was certainly strong enough, but he still felt a sense of disgust whenever he heard the word "dog".

However, given that it has already participated in suppressing the Water Venerable, begun to encroach on the Immortal Alliance's dominance, and started to build its own new order in the Immortal Extinction Domain, the situation is quite different.

Of course, Lao Luo could only stand with Cangshan and the Boluo Huizhong Dingjin to oppose Taiheshui's 'Dingjin Expansion'.

"Taihe Water, I advise you to give up as soon as possible and stop making trouble."

The idea of ​​expanding the top tier of the gold mine is just wishful thinking on the part of those below.

Now is the time for our great world to unite as one to fight against the Lord of the Limitless Dao.

Stirring things up at this particular time, I have reason to suspect that Wang Yulou, or you, may have been won over by the Wuji Dao Master.

In short, your petty schemes are dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to be more dignified?

Rakshasa still uses the same fighting style—how could Tianwaitian and Wuji Daozhu be so evil!
It's all a conspiracy by the Outer Heaven and the Lord of the Limitless Dao!
Wang Yuque is a foreign force. Wang Yuque is stirring up trouble in the Four Spirit Realms, which is evil!
Even though Bifang had already stopped it from following this line of thinking, it still clung to it.

Because it truly wanted to consume Taihe Water, devour the Eastern Pole Sect, and control the Immortal Alliance.

While both oppose the expansion of the top-tier gold offering, the stances of the Boluo congregation regarding the top-tier gold offering are clearly not entirely the same.

Furthermore, if Rakshasa's entire plan can be realized and it can control the Four Spirit Realms, then what makes you so sure that our beloved Rakshasa Demon Emperor won't be qualified to claim supremacy in 20,000 to 30,000 years?
The Daoist Master of Wuji, having lay dormant for 30,000 years, suddenly rises; the Water Venerable of Taihe, having long laid out his plans, reveals his hand in a single day.
Numerous examples demonstrate that in this world of cultivation, the competition among those seeking the Dao is a life-or-death struggle.

Those who do not plan for the long term will never become the supreme ruler!
"How about we first kill some of the fools in the world who like to jump on Wang Yuque's bandwagon? What do you all think?" Rakshasa continued to ask.

It was starting to think about starting a massacre.

Rebel against the order we set?
joke!

As long as enough people are killed, no one will dare to remember any sins, no matter how many.

Even if I remember, I wouldn't dare to say it!

Moreover, Rakshasa is one of the few people who can do this.

The reason is not complicated. When Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was trying to build consensus among the Immortal Alliance's Golden Core cultivators at the Immortal Assembly Platform, in order to gain benefits and leverage for Water Venerable and the other Golden Core cultivators, those who jumped up and down with Jade Palace Immortal Venerable were most likely the Golden Core cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.

Rakshasa is a top-tier Golden Core cultivator in the Immortal Alliance, so her status allows her to smoothly intervene in conflicts within the alliance.

If a top-tier Golden Core cultivator from another faction were to make this suggestion, the resistance would obviously be much greater.

Rakshasa's suggestion sounded particularly outrageous, but many of the top scholars at the Baguette Gathering were immediately impressed.

It is feasible.

From Bifang to Zaonanwang, and then to Luosha and Cangshan, their stance against the "expansion of Dingjin" has remained on the red line of "not touching Taihe Water".

Because Taihe Water is determined to become the dominant force, and it has shown such ambition over the years.

Therefore, under pressure, Taihe Water becomes the vanguard in the war.

Now, Taiheshui and Wang Yuque are engaging in "top-tier expansion," which corresponds to the fact that Jinguyuan's demand for becoming a top-tier participant has not been paid. Wang Yuque has offered a more ambitious plan that suits Taiheshui's needs.

As long as Wang Yuque is dealt with, and those who have been "bewitched" by Wang Yuque are eliminated, Taihe Water can still act as the vanguard.

Without disturbing the Taihe Water, it is certainly feasible to kill a wave of ordinary Golden Core cultivators within the Great World!

The Rakshasa's proposal to start the massacre was like a gust of wind, silencing everyone in the room.

King Zaonan glanced at the calm Taihe Water, somewhat unable to fathom its thoughts.

The dog king is about to start the slaughter, Lao Shui, aren't you going to save him?

It turned out that Taihe Shui was communicating with the Jade Palace Immortal on the Immortal Platform.

The disputes within the Bamboo Basket Association and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's 'bewitching' of the Immortal Alliance's Golden Core cultivators on the Immortal Assembly Platform occurred at the same time.

"What is the most fundamental purpose of a cultivator who strives for immortality?"

The Jade Palace Immortal's question, which seemed to have an answer in mind, clearly failed to arouse everyone's interest, but the Immortal hadn't expected it anyway.

"Freedom, transcendence, supremacy, power, eternal life, endless enjoyment. Different people have different answers."

But an obvious problem is that when someone stronger than us wants to control us, our desires are never easily fulfilled.

Seeing Wang Yulou dawdling, Rakshasa directly retorted.

"Wang Yuque, speak your mind directly, don't beat around the bush."

The Immortal Alliance is the most egalitarian force in the entire world; even on the Immortal Ascension Platform, all Golden Core cultivators have equal voting rights.

“They look the same, but you have a fourth faction. Qingrui has the Qingrui Faction in Wunan Prefecture, Fellow Daoist Cangshan has the Little Immortal Alliance in Qunqing Plain, and Water Venerable has the Huzhou Gang in Huzhou.”

Actually, they're different, aren't they?

"What, do you want to bite everyone to prove you're not an ordinary Golden Core cultivator?" Qingrui said coldly.

"I know about the Huzhou Gang, the Qingrui Sect, and the Rakshasa Sect, but why is Fellow Daoist Cangshan's faction called the Little Immortal Alliance?"

This is a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator acting crazy because he doesn't understand the situation. This poor unlucky guy doesn't realize that he has already been marked by some people with ulterior motives because of this issue.

"Fellow Daoist Qingrui, you have your prejudices, I accept that, but I will not respond. Alright, continue."

Let's continue with the specific design and ideas behind TopGold's expansion.

The top-tier Golden Core realm is never a specific level, but rather a relative ranking of strength.

After the old man with the winnowing basket founded the Winnowing Basket Association, this relative ranking of strength had a special and specific basis.

In other words, those who join the Bamboo Grove Society are top-tier Golden Core cultivators, while those who don't are not.

But just thinking about it, it's obvious that this ranking is unfair.

Wang Yuque was talking nonsense. The old man with the winnowing basket was talking about things that could cause a huge commotion on the Four Extremes Concealment Platform.

By bringing these people close for observation, the old man of the Unfixed Dharma King was also able to observe potential threats to himself.

In reality, the core of this system for recognizing top-tier Golden Cores is that, from the perspective of the Unfixed Dharma King, anyone whose strength might threaten him can become a member of the Bo Luo Society, thereby gaining external recognition as a top-tier Golden Core.

Therefore, the narrative of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable in this dimension has degenerated into pure nonsense.

However, those who actually get things done know how complex things are, and whether it's all just talk or not is actually not that important.

Winning means having lofty aspirations, while losing means being unrealistic and unrealistic – that's the only truth.

As long as they can win, many things become less important—of course, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and the Bo Luo Society, with their golden will, hope that ordinary cultivators in the world will believe that the order and sanctity they have built are always important.

The core idea is that beings controlled by the paradigms and orders of others can never achieve transcendence.

Why is it unjust?

First, standards that are controlled and defined by others are lies.

Under this standard, too many people clearly have the ability or potential to reach the top.

But they were buried, oppressed, and deceived.

Secondly

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was explaining the core concept of his 'Top Gold Expansion' plan when Qingrui interrupted him once again.

"Hahaha, Wang Yulou, I have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant little cultivator as you."

You know nothing; you've never even experienced a chaotic era.

No, that's not right. You've never even seen a top-tier Golden Core cultivator unleash their full power.

Even you yourself haven't really fought with anyone much. Back when you were undergoing your tribulation, there were people on the Five Realms Heavenly Gathering betting platform that you would be struck dead.

Your strength is so weak that it can be called a 'disgrace to the Golden Core stage'.

But here you are, commenting on the strength of top-tier Golden Core cultivators.

Wang Yulou, don't you find this ridiculous?
You're like a clown, you know that?

The Golden Core cultivators on the Immortal Platform immediately became much more awake.

Because Qingrui is right.

Wang Yulou himself is a weakling, a mere nobody. Does he really understand anything?

Judging from his appearance, it is indeed very likely that he has become a pawn of Taihe Shuizun.

But Taihe Shuizun's opponent is Bolu Huidingjin. If the Golden Core cultivators of Qunxiantai are fooled into joining in by these lies, they will become the price of being randomly crushed in the aftermath of the battle between the strong.

Furthermore, the strength of top-tier Golden Core cultivators has always been a closely guarded secret, with many top-tier Golden Core cultivators preferring to keep it hidden.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's questioning of this point is neither 'proven' nor 'falsified'.

A judgment that cannot be proven or disproven is certainly not worth believing.

'Yu Lou, do you need my help? You seem a bit overwhelmed.'

Taihe Shuizun asked, of course he would prefer that Yuque Xianzun complete this ball alone.

However, the problem is that the levels of leverage must be taken into account.

If Shui Zun leaves the stage too early, this tentative charge of "top-tier expansion" will appear to outsiders as prematurely "unsustainable".

Therefore, even though Water Venerable hoped that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable would succeed, he could not easily play his crucial card of personally getting involved and going deep into the fray.

It may seem complicated, but it's actually just the daily routine of top cultivators in their practice and careers.

'This is nothing, it's just Qingrui, what could be so difficult about that?'

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has always had a special feeling about Qingrui—this woman is particularly good at pretending.

Therefore, at this moment, he completely disregarded Qingrui's opposition and targeting.

In the Immortal Venerable's understanding of Qingrui, Immortal Venerable Qingrui's 'action value' should currently be zero.

In the realm of verbal sparring, winning is difficult, but losing is equally difficult.

"Qingrui, can you guarantee that your strength is really that great?"

If you're really strong, then you can come to the Four Spirit Realms and kill me right now.

Or you could just go and kill Dong Luo, her fellow drivers. Are you afraid of her?

Dong Luoche immediately answered loudly.

"Qingrui is a donkey dung ball. She looks strong on the surface, but she didn't make a move even when she was suppressed by Rakshasa last time."

Later, she even became the Star Wrath of the Rakshasa. Why did she do that?

Because she is inherently cowardly, and her strength has always been a facade.

First they sought refuge in Buddhism, then in the Bifang sect, and now they seek refuge in the Rakshasa.

As everyone knows, the Nascent Soul Method is a dead-end method with no way out.

Therefore, it can be said that among the top-tier Golden Core cultivators, Qingrui is probably the weakest.

And Rakshasa knew all of this.

Therefore, Rakshasa has seized control of Qingrui's vital energy, leading to the current situation.

Amidst the incredulous, almost bewildered, and awe-inspiring gazes of the many Golden Core cultivators on the Immortal Platform, who seemed unaware of who Dong Luoche was, Dong Luoche smiled and continued speaking with a heartfelt air.

"Qingrui, if you're not satisfied, you can come and kill me. I'll be waiting for you at Mount Tiantai!"

I'm waiting for you at Mount Tiantai, come and kill me!
To thoroughly humiliate them!
A direct humiliation!
The ultimate humiliation!
If you're not happy, then come and kill me!

You asked if Dongluoche was crazy?
of course not!

Dongluoche—Fellow Daoist Yuque, I am eager to make progress.

Top-tier Golden Core! That's the level of a top-tier Golden Core!

Even if it's just a 'name' without 'reality', spiritual practice is like rowing against the current; taking a step forward is certainly a good thing.

However, it was because of Dongluoche's biting that Rakshasa shouted that he would kill a group of jumping golden dan.

The reason is simple—it's utterly shameless.

It can be said that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and Eastern Luo Chariot took the concept of using any means necessary to the extreme.

If young cultivators want to go further in the cultivation world, they must be more resilient, cold-blooded, and cunning than those old fogies who control order and rules, hide behind lies and information gaps, and exploit the system to bleed everything dry!

Therefore, the winners are always the "old guards"—many young guards eventually become old guards themselves.

There will be generation after generation of young people rushing to this order, but most of them will fall by the wayside, and those who achieve some success will be quickly assimilated.

Throughout history, countless events have boiled down to nothing more than self-interest.

"Dong Luoche, your Mountain Immortal Kingdom has been destroyed for so many years, do you still think you have any bargaining chips?"

The Immortal Alliance gave you, a stray dog, a place to stay, and you really think you deserve to be seated at the table?

Qingrui did not fall into anger; compared to Luocha, who needed to put on a show of affection, she appeared much calmer.

Let her be humiliated. Over the years, she's been so relentlessly attacked by Jin Guyuan that she's almost lost the Buddhist heart she cultivated tens of thousands of years ago.
"Fellow Daoists, look at what Qingrui is doing now."
She dared not move; she could only respond to the questions from Dongluo Road enthusiasts with words.

This is what they call a top-tier Golden Core? Tell me, isn't it laughable?

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable pointed at Qingrui without any attempt to hide his intentions, directly pushing the conflict to an even greater climax.

General Bai Xu still had a vague understanding of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's actions, but Yuehua had already figured out Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's thinking and tactics.

This moment is just like that moment.

Once, in the Boundless Palace of the Outer Heavens, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable directly berated the Boundless Dao Lord as a piece of trash, utterly useless.

If you don't leave the field, I'll assume you'll never leave!
Now, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, following the same approach, has launched the 'Top Gold Expansion' plan in full swing!

Qingrui, what's the use of saying all that if you don't dare to fight, you're just a piece of trash!

Yuehua's beautiful eyes sparkled. Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's strategy wasn't particularly clever; it was all open and aboveboard. But clearly, the spirit and courage contained within it were beyond the reach of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

He is a true seeker of the Dao and a great cultivator. He is making arduous progress on a path that has never been seen before, and he even sacrificed a top-tier Golden Core cultivator to his banner right from the start!
Although Qingrui has been humiliated and tormented several times over the past two thousand years, she has finally fallen to the point where she is "particularly compatible" with the dog emperor Rakshasa.

But a top-tier Golden Core is still a top-tier Golden Core; Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's battle strategy was truly resolute.

Meanwhile, Cangshan also focused more of his energy back on Qunxiantai, the founder of the Immortal Alliance said with a frown.

"Wang Yuque, you're trying to muddy the waters."

Dong Luoche is the leader of the remnant lineage of the Mountain Man Immortal Kingdom in Wunan Prefecture of the Immortal Alliance, while in Wubei Prefecture of the Buddhist Kingdom, there is another leader of the remnant lineage of the Mountain Man Immortal Kingdom, He Musheng.

Qingrui was caught in the middle of these two forces, which also involved the Buddha of Buddhism.

Qingrui didn't take action because the situation she faced was unique, not because she was pretending to be powerful.

Dong Luoche is talking nonsense, and you're just repeating it.

Your plan to expand the top-tier facilities has already shaken the entire industry.

What is your view on this matter?

Based on your behavior, I see no possibility of success.

Do you think this is child's play?

Cangshan helped to get out of the predicament, but the compassionate and merciful Buddha Qingrui simply smiled calmly.

It doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter.

Dongluoche, Hemusheng, haha, just insects.

These bastards from the mountain immortal kingdom, if they don't die today, they will die tomorrow—they are certain to die.

As for Wang Yuque.
Do you think you'll be fine just because you're a turtle in the Four Spirit Realms?

joke!

My Dao Embryo is outside the Great Heaven and Earth!
I will show you that the Nascent Soul Technique of the Headless Path can also turn you into mincemeat!
Of course, Qingrui wouldn't act immediately. She needed to increase the efficiency of the Other Shore Heaven, maintain a certain speed in resource accumulation, continue cultivating her Dao Embryo, and enhance its strength.

Therefore, no matter how fast Wang Yuque runs, he will most likely not be able to catch up with him.

In the future, once the dust settles on the endless struggle between the infinite and the infinite, that will be the time for her to strike and wipe Wang Yuque out like an ant.

Beyond Qingrui, Cangshan's words also gave many Golden Core cultivators in the Immortal Alliance pause for thought—it was the first time they had realized that the situation between the remnants of the Mountain Man Immortal Kingdom and Qingrui was so unique.

Old Cang's actions this time were quite human-like, with all sorts of news popping up, showing his full effort to help Qingrui out of her predicament.

Incidentally, without escalating the conflict, he also gave Wang Yuque a warning.

It doesn't want to break ties with Jade Palace Immortal Venerable for a simple reason—there's no need.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's enemies in the world are, most recently, Rakshasa—the day the Immortal Alliance collapses, the day the Eastern Pole Sect is destroyed.

A distant green bud—deep-rooted grudges.

Despite the reminder from Zaonan Wang, Cangshan felt that he didn't need to be the villain in the matter of Dingjin's expansion.

Restrain yourself, just follow the damage output, and don't rush too far forward.

Because it is truly relatively weak.

When Jade Palace Immortal Venerable proposed the theory that 'top-tier Golden Immortal strength is actually a disguise,' Cangshan was genuinely afraid—it wasn't entirely sure about the true strength of many senior Golden Immortals.
Qingrui is unlikely to become a casualty of the chaos surrounding the expansion of the top-tier players, but Cangshan is genuinely afraid that he, as the 'most promising top-tier player,' will become evidence proving that 'the strength of top-tier players is merely a facade.'
Furthermore, if the expansion of the top-tier gold is truly to be achieved, it should be the likes of Rakshasa, King Zaonan, and Immortal Ancestor who contribute, not the shorter Cangshan.

Cangshan understood all of this, and it would not rush into action recklessly because of the instigation of the King of Zaonan.

"Fellow Daoist Cangshan, there's no need for further words. I'll just say one thing—"

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable looked around and said calmly.

"The expansion of the top gold corresponds to the improvement of the status of the Purple Mansion, and the status of the Foundation Establishment, which is also the Deity Transformation, is also improved."

You cultivators at the top have, over the past thousand years, scraped the bones and flesh of the world, eliminating ninety percent of all cultivators.

"There's enough meat shaved off for the servants!"

Finally, finally, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable revealed his true intentions.

Taihe Shuizun nodded in realization, then sighed softly in his heart.

He had always had a question.

If the expansion of the top-tier Golden Core is merely for the sake of a top-tier Golden Core title, it will certainly increase certain rights and interests, while diminishing some of the existing advantages of top-tier Golden Core members. However, a core problem remains unresolved—where will the benefits come from?
Everything must return to reality. The reality that pursuers care about is interests, and the final step in disrupting the order of interest distribution will inevitably be the redistribution of interests.

Previously, Shui Zun had some doubts, but he didn't really care that much.

All it needs is for Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to charge forward, acquire new bargaining chips, and incidentally transform Golden Valley Garden into a top-tier gold mine, thereby gaining more benefits after the victory in the Divine Cave Battle.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle for the Divine Cave, we must still plan for the future.

Now, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has finally answered the Water Venerable's question.

The profits are what we've squeezed out over the years, scraped clean of our bones and flesh.

Before the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable left the Great World, the plan to scrape his bones and shave his flesh was already underway, and Mang Xiang was the one who carried it out.

Later, Mangxiang went to the Four Spirit Realms, and this plan was temporarily shelved.

With the Wuji Dao Master absent for a long time, the top-tier cultivators, having weathered the initial chaos, restarted the plan.

As a result, during the years that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was away from the Great World, the number of cultivators in the Great World decreased by 90%.

What's missing here are mainly those who were once at the Qi Induction, Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment stages.

According to the 1-3-6 distribution model, the 90% of cultivators who disappeared correspond to 9% of the profits.

This portion of the profits is indeed sufficient to cover the expansion needs of the top-tier expansion fund.

But almost instantly, Taihe Shuizun realized another problem.

The plan for the integration of the universe proposed by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is very imaginative and impactful, but perhaps a little too impactful.

When the Boluo Society learned of the demand for "only fame", it shocked the top Golden Core cultivators to the point of breaking down - how dare you make a move on us?

Rakshasa even said, "First kill the jumping golden cores in the Great Heaven and Earth"—Old Luo wasn't joking; he really intended to kill them.

If you can't kill Wang Yuque, can't you at least kill the jumping Golden Core cultivators within the Great Heaven and Earth?

But now, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has gone beyond mere claims and put forward specific demands for benefits.
Shui Zun knew that the resistance to expanding the top-tier gold-plated structure had actually increased.
"Wang Yulou, you've been cultivating for almost two thousand years, so I'll assume you're of sound mind."

I want to ask you a question.

Rakshasa suppressed her emotions and tried her best to remain calm.

"Are you planning to cause the Great Heaven and Earth to self-destruct before the Dao Lord of Limitless Realm destroys it?"
