Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

“Furthermore, in terms of potential, your potential is absolutely top-tier in the entire Kunlun Realm. You not only have the hope of becoming Great Saints, but also the hope of becoming gods. Therefore, there's no need for you to rush to break through to the Saint King Realm now. Continue to accumulate your resources and wait for the right time to break through. You will then reap even greater benefits, benefits far exceeding your imagination. There's absolutely no need to rush to break through to the Saint King Realm.” Zhao Shuang's words made the female saints nod, and they all agreed, deciding not to continue trying to break through to the Saint King Realm.

They originally planned to break through to the Saint King realm, but now it seems that not breaking through to the Saint King realm is actually more beneficial.

"Since that's the case, then we'll listen to the Heavenly King and not break through to the Saint King realm for the time being."

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say, and it's time for us to head back. Once we return to the Central Imperial City, the Empress should be able to break through to the Divine Realm. At that time, all the crises currently facing the Kunlun Realm will be resolved. Of course, these crises will only be temporarily resolved; even greater and more terrifying crises are on the horizon. You must be prepared and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Zhao Shuang sighed softly, and his words made everyone's hearts sink.

Zhang Ruoji, in particular, was the most depressed. Although he now understood everything that Empress Chi Yao had done, understanding was one thing, but he still couldn't let go of it.

After all, he represents not only himself, but also the entire royal family behind him.

“Brother, I do not intend to go to the central imperial city right now.”

Zhang Ruoji chose not to go to the Central Imperial City for the time being.

"You can go if you want, or not if you don't want to. It's all up to you. But there's one thing you need to think about carefully: if you really want revenge, the Kunlun Realm might not be able to tolerate you anymore. You should be prepared. However, I can find you a better place, but if you insist on taking this path, you must be prepared to give up everything at any time."

Zhao Shuang was not surprised by Zhang Ruoji's choice at all. Instead, she nodded and said the following.

What he meant was to have the Moon Goddess take Zhang Ruoji to the Guanghan Realm.

This is the only way. There is no other way to keep Zhang Ruoji alive while also saving the entire Guanghan Realm. Otherwise, with the Moon Goddess at her current level, saving the entire Guanghan Realm would be impossible.

However, even if Zhang Ruoji wanted to save the Guanghan Realm, it would only mean adding another path to survival.

Whether this path to survival will be successful depends on the luck of Zhang Ruoji, the Moon Goddess, and the Guanghan Realm. After all, he has already made so many preparations; if the Kunlun Realm still cannot win, it would be a very bad thing.

At that point, the Empress will likely need to work hard herself, because if the Kunlun Realm can't win under these circumstances, it just shows how weak they are. Of course, the Kunlun Realm will definitely become stronger in the future.

"Then thank you very much, brother."

Although he didn't know what path Zhao Shuang would arrange, Zhang Ruoji still expressed his gratitude, because he believed that Zhao Shuang would definitely make arrangements for him, and at least for now, Zhao Shuang should not let him die.

"Alright, then you should go back first. There are still many things that need your attention."

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, dismissing Zhang Ruoji.

After Zhang Ruoji left, Zhao Shuang led the others to the Central Imperial City.

The Central Imperial City was once the capital of the Qingchi Central Empire. After unifying the world, the imperial court employed extraordinary methods to ensure that all the spiritual veins of the Kunlun Realm centered around the Central Imperial City. In other words, the Central Imperial City is now undoubtedly the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Kunlun Realm. It is precisely for this reason that countless cultivators are attracted to it, resulting in an immense and immeasurable scale of the entire imperial city.

However, the Central Imperial City is now the most dangerous and perilous place in the entire Kunlun Realm, because there are not only people from the Central Empire here, but also many people who are enemies of the Central Empire.

They all lurk within the imperial city, devising ways to create trouble and disrupt its peace, keeping the court constantly on its toes and thus reaping enormous profits. However, these methods seem insignificant in the face of the central imperial court, and their impact is minimal.

The fastest way to reach the imperial city was through a spatial wormhole. There were many spatial wormholes leading to the central imperial city in the Northern Region, so the group arrived at the central imperial city quickly.

However, the group was divided into two groups: one was Zhao Shuang and his group, and the other was Wu Sheng and his group.

When Martial Saint and his companions arrived at the central imperial city, they appeared in a plaza. As soon as they appeared, they saw a group of imperial golden-armored soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing them, they immediately bowed in salute.

Because their status and position are simply incomparable to that of the Canglan Martial Saint.

As the Martial Saint of Canglan arrived, another exceptionally beautiful figure appeared. This figure was none other than Nalan Danqing, the talented scholar, dressed in a blue Confucian robe with her hair tied in a bun. Although disguised as a man, her stunning beauty still captivated hearts. Especially striking was her spiritual power, which had reached the peak of the fifty-fourth level.

It could be said that she could break through to the Spiritual Power Saint King Realm at any time if she wanted to, but she always kept Zhao Shuang's reminder in mind and did not break through to the Spiritual Power Saint King Realm.

At the same time, she no longer only cultivates her mental power, but has also begun to cultivate her physical strength. However, only Zhao Shuang and she herself know this; to others, she still only appears to be cultivating her mental power.

This can be considered one of her hidden tactics.

This was also something Zhao Shuang taught her. Because nowadays, simply cultivating mental strength is not enough.

To become stronger, one cannot only cultivate spiritual power; one must also find ways to cultivate other aspects of power, such as spiritual power, the path of sainthood, and the physical body.

If one purely cultivates the path of sainthood, it is easy for others to detect it. However, if one cultivates physical strength, it is the best way to hide, since everyone knows that the physical body of a spiritual saint is very fragile.

For this very reason, cultivating physical strength is the best way to conceal one's abilities.

The first thing the two sisters did after they met was to ask each other about everything that had happened during that time.

At this moment, Nalan Danqing noticed the changes in Canglan Martial Saint's body and was incredulous.

"Sister Canglan, your cultivation level, physical body, and spiritual power have all reached such a level, it's truly unbelievable!"

Nalan Danqing simply couldn't believe that the current Canglan Martial Saint had reached the pinnacle of a Saint in terms of physical body, mental strength, and physique.

In particular, his physical strength has reached the level of physical sainthood, and his physical constitution has also become the innate chaotic fire phoenix body.

Nalan Danqing knew all too well just how powerful such a physique was. It even had the potential to become a deity.

"This time, I have to thank the Heavenly King. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I could only break through to the Heavenly Realm at most."

Canglan Martial Saint made no secret of his experiences and told Nalan Danqing everything that had happened. After listening, Nalan Danqing couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Shuang's supernatural abilities, strength, and methods.

"Truly worthy of being called the Heavenly King, to be able to grant you such a powerful opportunity. If this continues, I believe my sister will soon be able to break through to the Great Sage realm."

Nalan Danqing's tone carried a hint of envy, and she wasn't exaggerating. She felt that if things continued this way, the Martial Saint of Canglan might actually break through to the Great Saint realm, and might even become a god in the future.

"It's not that easy. To break through to the Great Sage level, it takes at least several hundred years, even if you enter the Heavenly Seal."

The Martial Saint of Canglan disagreed and shook his head.

Because she was well aware that her current situation was akin to forcing growth. If it weren't for the significant change in her physique, her potential would likely have been completely exhausted. But this time, not only was her potential not being squeezed, but it was actually greatly enhanced, especially her physical body, which received tremendous strengthening.

In other words, her physical body was already considered a divine body.

Regardless of the circumstances, Zhao Shuang had done her a great service.

"It's not time to enter the Heavenly Family Seal yet. Sister, it's best not to break through to the Saint King Realm first, at least not in the short term."

Nalan Danqing nodded, then shook his head and said.

"What you said is exactly the same as what that guy said. It seems you already knew."

When Canglan Martial Saint heard Nalan Danqing say this, he said irritably.

"There's nothing I can do about it. If I could, I would have broken through to the Spiritual Power Saint King Realm long ago. But he never lets me break through and instead makes me choose another path."

Nalan Danqing's tone also revealed helplessness.

If it weren't for Zhao Shuang's repeated reminders, she would have already broken through to the Saint King Realm of Spiritual Power, and might even have reached the fifty-seventh or fifty-eighth level. But now she has only reached the peak of the fifty-fourth level.

"Did you two even notice? I'm right next to you. Isn't it a bit much for you to say this to my face? If it weren't for the sake of the entire Kunlun Realm, I would have let you break through long ago. But right now, it's clearly better not to break through. If you really want to break through, I won't stop you, but if anything happens afterward, don't blame me."

At this moment, Zhao Shuang's voice slowly rang in the ears of the two sisters, her tone filled with complaint.

"I thought you weren't going to come out."

Upon hearing Zhao Shuang's voice, Nalan Danqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Shuang walking over. She said in an annoyed tone.

"I didn't want to interrupt you two sisters, but since you two are planning to speak ill of me, I naturally have to step in and stop you. After all, everything I'm doing now is for the sake of the entire Kunlun Realm. If it weren't for the sake of the entire Kunlun Realm, I would never have done so much."

Zhao Shuang's tone also carried a hint of reproach.

"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere to have a proper chat. After all, there are still many things to explain, and the Empress should be breaking through soon, right? Why hasn't she broken through yet?"

Zhao Shuang frowned and looked up at the sky, feeling that something was amiss.

Just then, it started snowing.

And the snow kept falling heavier and heavier, to an unimaginable degree. In almost an instant, it had covered the soles of our feet, which shows just how heavy the snow was.

"What's going on? Why is it snowing so heavily?"

Upon seeing this scene, the Martial Saint of Canglan was the first to raise a question.

"If nothing unexpected happens, our Empress will break through soon. I wonder if using this method to break through is the right or wrong thing for her."

Zhao Shuang looked at the snow, which was already above her ankles, and then glanced at the sky where colorful divine clouds had appeared. At that moment, as these clouds appeared, an incomparably dazzling divine light also appeared, and the clouds grew larger and larger.

Soon, the divine cloud enveloped the entire Central Imperial City, and even the entire Central Empire and the entire Kunlun Realm, its divine light illuminating heaven and earth. At this moment, on the altars of all the wondrous realms throughout the Kunlun Realm, a cluster of new divine statues appeared, radiating new seven-colored divine light. Simultaneously, in the center of the Central Imperial City, a divine statue also appeared, standing a full three thousand feet tall, like a god or Buddha supporting the heavens.

At the same time, all beings in the Kunlun Realm who had reached the Saint realm silently recited a single sentence:

"A new god is born, illuminating heaven and earth; a divine image is born, and all living beings worship him."

Indeed, only when the empress became a god could such an astonishing phenomenon be recorded in ancient texts, which means that a deity has appeared.

"It's truly a case of timing being better than early. The Empress has finally broken through this final step. What a pleasant surprise! Now Kunlun Realm finally has a glimmer of hope. Hopefully, Kunlun Realm can truly seize that lifeline, otherwise all their efforts will have been in vain."

The only one who didn't say those words was Zhao Shuang, but he did.

Of course, everyone else worshipped in the direction where the statue appeared, paying homage to the new deity. The only one who did not worship was Zhao Shuang.

His failure to worship shocked everyone. However, the most important thing now was to prepare for the birth of the new god. They had no time to care about Zhao Shuang's refusal to worship, because they believed that the new god would punish Zhao Shuang.

However, Zhao Shuang would not pay homage to Empress Chi Yao, even though she had become a deity, it meant nothing to him.

Even if the other party became a god because of him.

Because he helped the other party successfully overcome their emotional tribulation, instead of using the original method.

……

"She has indeed broken through. It seems that my brother was right. The hope of the Kunlun Realm can only be placed on her."

Zhang Ruoji, who had just left the central imperial city, did not pay homage upon seeing this scene. How could he possibly pay homage to Empress Chi Yao? It was an absolutely impossible thing to do. So he just stared blankly in the direction of the central imperial city, looking at the astonishing sight.

However, he didn't intend to leave. He planned to enter the central imperial city to see how things were going. But he didn't plan to enter with his true appearance, because he was still a wanted criminal.
