If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 340: Relying on Connections to Become a God

Shen Ziqing frowned.

"Really, is it possible to achieve transcendence and become an immortal?"

"Of course it's impossible," Martial God of Wealth answered decisively. "That Desolate Immortal spent his entire life trying to completely separate the small world from himself. The same was true for other immortals in the Great Desolate Period."

"No one has truly transcended, so no one knows what it's like to truly transcend. As long as they separate their small worlds, they will claim to have transcended. The reason they are said to be on par with True Immortals is simply because True Immortals have long since disappeared. Even if they did exist, they were all obsessed with their own skills and didn't bother to care about worldly affairs."

"The first Emperor Yu refined the Dao Pillar and smashed it down. The immortals of the Great Wilderness period knew they had never transcended."

"Dead or dead, dead or dead."

Shen Ziqing was stunned, thinking he had misheard, "Are all the immortals from the Great Wilderness period dead?"

"Of course, that was the Dao Pillar, intended to suppress all Daoist sects during the Great Wilderness period. Furthermore, Emperor Yu also refined a military pillar," said the God of Wealth, shaking his head. "Of course, we also took action back then, and there was absolutely no way any immortal could survive."

Shen Ziqing pondered, "Then this Immortal Palace..."

"Perhaps he was a reincarnated immortal. At that time, many immortals realized that the situation was hopeless, so they used the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day, and took the initiative to tear off their small world connected to the universe and rise into the sky."

"Of course, the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day is extremely risky. Many ancient sects were wiped out on the spot. It's possible that some immortals chose to protect themselves and avoid the Dao Pillar through reincarnation." The God of Wealth pinched his chin, thoughtfully. "This Immortal Palace was most likely born at the end of the Great Wilderness, when our Heavenly Court had already passed away. Most of its members are immortals who chose to protect themselves."

"Operating behind the scenes...I'm afraid it's also for the chance to become an immortal again."

"But even if they could become immortals again, it would be meaningless. As long as the Dao Pillar exists, they will never be able to transcend."

Shen Ziqing nodded and glanced at a photo stone on the table. It was something left by Shui Wuji, and it contained a list of the sects that participated in the provocation between the noble marquises and the commoner marquises.

"This would explain their plan to sow discord between the noble marquises and the commoner marquises."

"As long as Dayu falls and the Dao Pillar remains indestructible, they will never be able to transcend."

Shen Ziqing let out a long breath, "Master, this game is for the Immortal Palace."

Wu Caishen nodded with admiration, "Your master has a long-term vision, and every move he makes is ingenious. But I don't think the Immortal Palace is your master's ultimate goal."

"My master has the world in his heart. His ultimate goal is naturally peace and prosperity for the country and the people," Shen Ziqing said with a smile, picking up his tea and taking a sip. "I just hope there will be fewer twists and turns along the way."

The God of Wealth nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then when do you plan to achieve divine transformation and fusion? With your current foundation-building platform, it is not impossible to connect with the 108 stars in the Heavenly Palace."

"The 108 stars in the Heavenly Palace are different from those who stole the truth. They are the real and legitimate Taoist traditions that are connected to the Taoist pillars."

Shen Ziqing hesitated a bit, "Isn't this too fast?"

It's not that Shen Ziqing doesn't want to become stronger quickly, but the speed at which his realm is improving is too fast. Nine years ago, he was just a businessman's son with mediocre qualifications, but now he is already a Nascent Soul cultivator and can even become a God soon.

Shen Ziqing admitted that he was cheating, but wasn't this cheating too outrageous?

"Quick?" Martial God of Wealth said with a strange expression, "Those True Immortals were still mortals with flesh and blood just before they became immortals."

"These are two different things," Shen Ziqing said helplessly, "I am an orthodox cultivator."

"Practicing Qi, building the foundation, forming the elixir, breaking the infant, transforming the spirit and fusing together, all realms and all cultivation are for the purpose of getting as close to the Tao as possible. Only those who are neither good nor bad need to rely on the method of nurturing a small world during the tribulation period to cheat and become immortal. Those who are truly insightful can comprehend the Tao at the moment of the Nascent Soul period," said Wu Caishen, giving himself a thumbs up.

"You achieved enlightenment and became an immortal at the Nascent Soul stage?!" Shen Ziqing's face was filled with surprise. "Not really. I only understood it when I was at the peak of the Fusion stage, almost passing the tribulation," Martial God of Wealth smiled awkwardly. "In all of Heaven, only the Emperor of Heaven understood everything when he reached the Nascent Soul stage."

Shen Ziqing suddenly realized something, but soon frowned in distress, "But I don't think I've figured it out."

"But you have strong connections," Wu Caishen said calmly, "The 108 stars in the Heavenly Palace are all within the Great Dao and are part of the universe. We can just open a backdoor for you."

"And then I... became an immortal by relying on my connections?" Shen Ziqing's head began to spin.

"Not entirely, but relying on connections to achieve divine fusion shouldn't be a problem," Wu Caishen turned his head and muttered something, as if he was confirming something with someone. After confirming, Wu Caishen turned his head back.

"But your realm is not a formal one after all. If the Heavenly Court closes its door to you, your realm will immediately fall."

After hearing what the God of Wealth said, Shen Ziqing relaxed. "Then I'll have to ask Heaven to monitor my every word and action. If I go the wrong way, please show me no mercy."

Shen Ziqing has a very clear understanding of his own cultivation qualifications. The Heavenly Court Taoism is his only way to become a strong man, and the appearance of the Immortal Palace keeps reminding him that any calculation will ultimately require a huge fist as a guarantee.

"Hahahaha—this is natural—"

The God of Wealth laughed and stood up to leave.

Shen Ziqing raised his head and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. When he stood up and left, he had already become a Divine Transformation cultivator.

……

Cold state.

The cold wind blew snowflakes into Huang Shangshang's collar. Although she was already a Jindan cultivator, Huang Shangshang still shivered and shrank her neck.

The coldness of Hanzhou is not simply due to the low temperature, but the serious excess of ice spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Therefore, even cultivators cannot completely resist the coldness of Hanzhou. When the fairy comes, they have to put on their old cotton-padded jacket.

"You said you were going to stroll around, but where are you going to stroll around..."

Huang Shangshang subconsciously hugged the sword tightly in her arms and looked around anxiously.

This was her first time in Zhongzhou, and she came alone.

She was very excited on the way, and she imagined that after arriving in Hanzhou, she would meet heroes from all over the world and have a lot of fun chatting and laughing.

When she finally arrived, she was left with only anxiety, nervousness, and even some regret.

"No way—Huang Shangshang, how can you be frightened by such a small incident! This is a huge opportunity. Gaining Master Li's approval and officially becoming his outer disciple depends on this one time!"

Huang Shangshang shook her head vigorously, raised her leg and took a step forward. In an instant, the world changed, and she came to a warm space. Before Huang Shangshang could react, she was attacked by countless hot gazes, and the hottest gaze belonged to the woman in front of her.

On the way here, Huang Shangshang had been reading the information provided by Shen Ziqing, so Huang Shangshang recognized the woman in front of her at a glance.

Ancestor Yue Han is Yue Yue.

Master Shen! This situation is a little different from what you said!
