Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

"The Kunlun Realm cannot rely on me alone; it requires the efforts of everyone. I alone cannot change the situation. Besides, I have already done enough. If, under these circumstances, the Kunlun Realm still cannot overcome this calamity, then it can only mean that the Kunlun Realm is destined to be this way, and no one else can be blamed. I will not help anymore. But you can rest assured that with all that I have done, the Kunlun Realm will definitely be able to overcome this difficult calamity. Putting aside everything else, the Queen alone will not allow the Kunlun Realm to perish like this. She absolutely will not allow it, after all, she has paid such a great price; how could she possibly be willing to do so?"

"Therefore, you just need to arrange everything step by step and don't need to worry about anything else. The rest will be taken care of by others, so you can rest assured. Don't think that Kunlun Realm only has hope if I stay. That's impossible."

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I will leave Kunlun Realm once the Empress returns, and only then will the true calamity begin. Kunlun Realm is far from reaching that point yet."

After saying these words, Zhao Shuang didn't linger and got up to leave.

Why can't we stay?

Nalan Danqing was still reluctant to let Zhao Shuang leave, because he knew all too well the significance and importance Zhao Shuang held for the world.

“I have my own things to do, and I must do them, as I promised. If I don’t, wouldn’t I be a person who breaks their promise? So please stop trying to stop me, and I will absolutely not change my mind based on a few words from you. I have things to do, and I must do them.”

"The Kunlun Realm still has a high chance of surviving this calamity, so you don't need to worry too much or dwell on whether I should stay or not. I will not stay, and the Kunlun Realm will surely be able to overcome this calamity. You can rest assured that there will be no problem."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang left immediately, giving Nalan Danqing no chance to continue trying to stop her.

Watching Zhao Shuang's departing figure, Nalan Danqing sighed, ultimately finding himself helpless.

After all, he knew very well that with his strength, he couldn't stop Zhao Shuang in the slightest. If Zhao Shuang was unwilling to stay, there was nothing he could do.

"Is there really no way to get him to stay?"

After Zhao Shuang left, another figure appeared in the palace, and this figure was none other than Zhao Shuang's acquaintance—the Martial Saint of Canglan.

"It's impossible. Given his temperament, once he makes a choice, there's no going back. So what we need to do now is to make Kunlun Realm as strong as possible. Only in this way can we survive the upcoming Holy War of Merit. Only by surviving this Holy War of Merit will Kunlun Realm have any hope for the future. If we can't even survive this Holy War of Merit, then there's really no hope at all."

Nalan Danqing couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Why does he insist on helping another world instead of staying in the Kunlun Realm and helping the Kunlun Realm?"

"I am completely puzzled," said the Martial Saint of Canglan.

"He has his choices, he has his decisions, and no one can change them."

Even if the Empress were here, she couldn't change anything, so there's nothing we can do. Alright, let's go prepare. Oh, by the way, the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace is about to be destroyed, so be prepared.”

"What? They want to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion? How can this be! If Her Majesty the Empress returns, they will probably not have a good end either."

Upon hearing this, Canglan Martial Saint's expression instantly changed. He truly hadn't expected Zhao Shuang and his group to intend to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. What kind of existence was the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion? It was the most powerful group in the entire Kunlun Realm. Yet now, Zhao Shuang and his group actually wanted to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion—this was simply unbelievable.

"There's no other way. The Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion has far too many blood debts on its hands. If it's not destroyed, its younger brother will have a hard time regaining its former power. So the only option is to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion before the Empress returns. Only in this way can they deter the entire Kunlun Realm. In short, be prepared not to tell the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. If you do, causing their plan to fail, they will definitely hold you accountable. And you simply cannot withstand their wrath, so you only need to be prepared to accept it. You don't need to do anything else."

Nalan Danqing's words were equally cold and ruthless. When they reached the ears of Canglan Martial Saint, he could only sigh, because he couldn't stop it either. Even if he told Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion in advance, it wouldn't change anything. At most, it would make Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion suffer even greater losses, and make Zhao Shuang and the others suffer even greater losses. There was nothing else he could do.

"But now that Kunlun Realm has become like this, can't they restrain themselves a little? It wouldn't be too late to take revenge when everything in Kunlun Realm is stable, so why now? If it's now, then all the efforts of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion over the years will have been in vain. You must know that the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion has sacrificed a lot over the years. If the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion is gone, the consequences will be unimaginable. It could very well lead to turmoil throughout Kunlun Realm, and we will have even less to say to Her Majesty the Empress."

Canglan Martial Saint was still unwilling to watch Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion be destroyed. After all, their family had a fairly good relationship with Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion, so it was impossible for them to watch the other party be destroyed.

"Unless you can stop him, this is something that cannot be changed."

Nalan Danqing shook his head and uttered words that nearly drove Canglan Martial Saint to despair: to stop Zhao Shuang. But stopping Zhao Shuang was utterly impossible. If Zhao Shuang were capable of being stopped, he would have done so long ago; it was simply impossible.

The Martial Saint of Canglan knew firsthand how powerful Zhao Shuang was; he was well aware of it. He knew he was powerless to stop him. "Is there really no other way? Are we really just going to watch the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace be destroyed? What's going on here? Are we really just going to watch Kunlun Realm descend into chaos once again?"

The Martial Saint of Canglan was unwilling and resentful to witness this scene.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Unless Her Majesty the Empress returns, the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace is destined for destruction, as she has made it very clear. Not only will she not intervene, but the Zhang family also has many powerful figures who are absolutely capable of destroying the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace. In the past, they were mindful of Her Majesty the Empress, but now that she has left the Kunlun Realm and won't be returning anytime soon, this is their only chance. They will definitely seize this opportunity, and once they do, the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace will be destroyed. Once the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace is destroyed, their power will greatly increase, which will be extremely beneficial to them. Moreover, they have a force behind them that even the Empress cannot contend with. Under these circumstances, even if the Empress returns, the die is cast, and she cannot do anything to them."

"How is this possible? Could they be backed by a deity? Even the Empress couldn't do anything to them. How is this possible? Unless they really have..."

Before he could finish speaking, Canglan Martial Saint realized what was happening and looked at Nalan Danqing with an incredulous gaze.

"Could there really be a god behind them? How is that possible? Is there a second god in the entire Kunlun Realm besides the Empress? How is that possible? There's absolutely no way that's possible. It's absolutely impossible."

Canglan Martial Saint now completely disbelieves that there is a second god in the Kunlun Realm, but Nalan Danqing's performance and the Zhang family's plan to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion tell him that there is indeed a god, and that they are indeed going to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Nothing is impossible. They do indeed have a deity behind them. Didn't I just say? They have the Moon Goddess behind them. The Moon Goddess will protect them and bring them back to the Guanghan Realm. Then, how could the Empress possibly attack them? The Empress doesn't have the power to attack them when they're already in the Guanghan Realm. She can't do it. That's why they're so confident in destroying the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace. The Moon Goddess is their greatest source of confidence and trump card. As long as the Moon Goddess is there, even if the Empress returns, nothing will happen. At least that's how it is for them. They'll be fine as long as the Empress can't defeat the Moon Goddess."

"How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible." Martial Saint Canglan still refused to believe it, because this matter was far too significant.

“Nothing is impossible. We must choose to believe that all of this is happening, because all of this is bound to happen. So what we need to do now is to give the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion a good home as much as possible. Try to find a way to bring out some of the elite disciples of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion in the name of the Little Saint Heavenly King's Mansion, so as to ensure that the bloodline of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion will not be cut off.”

"This is the best we can do, and it won't incur his retaliation." Nalan Danqing came up with an idea: to preserve as much of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's bloodline as possible. This was the only way; he couldn't think of any other solution.

As for telling the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion that it would be destroyed by the Zhang family, let's not even talk about whether the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion would believe it. Even if the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion did believe it, the losses would only be more severe, and it might even trigger a great war in the entire Kunlun Realm. At that time, the entire Kunlun Realm would be plunged into war, and it is possible that those forces would take advantage of the situation.

In this way, when the Empress returns, the strength of the Kunlun Realm might not only not have increased, but might have decreased significantly. In that case, they would be letting down the Empress.

Therefore, the best solution at present is to sacrifice the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. This is the only and best solution; there is absolutely no other way, unless someone can eliminate Zhao Shuang and his group. However, this would be a huge loss for the entire Kunlun Realm. Moreover, it might not even be possible, because the power wielded by Zhao Shuang and his group is simply too terrifying. Furthermore, with the protection of the Moon Goddess, eliminating Zhao Shuang and his group under these circumstances is simply unrealistic and impossible.

"If we inform the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace and have them make adequate preparations, could we prevent all of this from happening?"

"This will only make the losses of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion even more severe, and will also plunge the Kunlun Realm into internal strife. The Kunlun Realm has already paid such a high price, so we cannot change all of this unless we can destroy the gods, unless we are confident in saving the entire Kunlun Realm. Otherwise, none of us can stop this from happening. Otherwise, it will be a calamity for the entire Kunlun Realm."

Nalan Danqing shook his head, directly rejecting Canglan Martial Saint's foolish suggestion.

……

Meanwhile, Zhao Shuang, who had left the Ziwei Palace, had already reunited with her younger brother.

"When do you plan to make a move against the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion? If possible, do it as soon as possible. I'm afraid the Holy Book Talented Woman and her group will interfere, so we must act quickly, the sooner the better. Because if we are slow, the plan may fail, and if it fails, your position will be in jeopardy."

"Brother Wang, please rest assured, I have made all the necessary preparations and there will be absolutely no mistakes. You can rest assured that there will be absolutely no mistakes."

"Then I'll trust you one more time, but this time the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion won't be so easily destroyed. After all, it's one of the top super powers in the entire Kunlun Realm. Destroying it won't be an easy task, and there are many powerful figures within the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. Destroying them all won't be easy either. Therefore, you must be fully prepared. If even the slightest mistake occurs, you might lose your life."

Zhao Shuang patted Zhang Ruoji on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have made full preparations and there will be absolutely no mistakes. As soon as the time comes, I will make sure that the entire Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace disappears completely from the Kunlun Realm. Even if the Empress returns, it will be the same and she will not be able to change anything."

"Having this confidence is a good thing, but the prerequisite is having enough strength to back it up. If you don't have enough strength and yet you say these things, it's just empty talk. It doesn't count at all. So work hard, brother, it's up to you now. The exciting drama in Kunlun Realm will depend on your performance. If there are any problems that you really can't solve, I will try my best to help. You can rest assured about that. Although the agreement with the Queen is a little different, in this situation, I've decided to help my brother and not her. I hope everything goes smoothly. If it doesn't, it'll be a big problem. Sigh, what bad luck." (End of Chapter)
