Seeing that the entire late-blooming faction had been drained by Jiang Shu, yet still unable to help him become emperor, the people of the entire continent were moved.

"Could it be..." The sect leader's eyes were cloudy, "...that it's still impossible to do?"

Just then, Jiang Shu suddenly felt his cultivation, which had stopped, creep forward again.

He looked at the other four major sects.

"Old man, straighten up!"

"Without you, the Five Great Sects would not be the Five Great Sects!"

"I don't want future generations, who are unable to cultivate, to not only curse you late bloomers but also blame us for standing by and doing nothing!"

"Exactly, the matter of insurance in mainland China isn't just your business. What kind of hero are you if you're the only one acting like this?"

The sect leader's eyes welled with tears: "You lot..."

Bai Yuanyi and the others smiled wryly and muttered to themselves, "If you're going to help someone, you should help them to the end. Since we've already helped you obtain our sect's cultivation technique, it won't hurt to help you one more time."

Soon, all the cultivators from the five major sects were drained dry by Jiang Shu.

But it's still just a little bit short.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Shu could only turn to the camera and plead with the cultivators present and those watching the live stream: "Please help me cut the price one more time. Once I become an Emperor, I will definitely save the Insurance Continent and return the billions in subsidies to everyone!"

The monks present looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were very hesitant.

After all, they are not like the five major sects, who have a strong sense of collective honor and no lofty ideals; they just want to live their own lives well.

What do they care about what happens a thousand years from now?

They might not even live to see that day.

For a time, his cultivation progress stalled once again.

Jiang Shu did not blame them; this was only natural.

It was at this moment that those cultivators who had heard Jiang Shu's story from the cultivators of the five major sects finally made up their minds.

They had long been captivated by Jiang Shu's personal charm.

"We believe in you, and we're willing to take the gamble!"

"The difficulties we face now are all so that future generations will not have to face them again!"

Those around them and those watching on screens watched in utter astonishment as people who should have been unrelated to the matter also got involved, and finally began to waver...

at the same time.

A small town in the distance.

The middle-aged men in front of the television in the teahouse had different expressions.

The man with the big knife suddenly asked the others, "You all received it, right?"

The others nodded: "We received it last night and patched the vulnerability this morning."

"Hmm." The man with the big knife put down his teacup and tore up Jiang Shu's IOU: "As the saying goes, if you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again. Since he is a trustworthy person, I will lend him the money again."

Soon, the man with the greatsword exhausted all his cultivation, and he couldn't even lift the greatsword he always carried.

"If you lend it to me, I'll lend it to you too."

"and."

"I'm raising my bet too!"

Suddenly, Jiang Shu felt his cultivation power converging from all directions, surging into the vortex with a force even greater than that of the five major sects.

Jiang Shu was surprised and delighted to feel the increase in his cultivation level.

"If the entire continent can't deliver this final blow, then you're truly invincible!"

Finally, Jiang Shu's cultivation broke through the final shackles, and as if by natural course, he stepped into the 10 billion mark.

[Task Objective Two]

[Achieved]

Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Hundred Billion Subsidy, The First Emperor of All Time!

To be precise, Jiang Shu achieved the mission objective, but not completely.

[Mission Objective Two: Cultivate to the level of the Emperor of Peril, find the reason for the failure to ascend in the previous life, break through the barriers of the Insurance Continent, and travel to the Great Thousand World!]

Jiang Shu discovered the reason for his previous failure to ascend: the previous Emperor of Risk absconded with funds, leaving the Insurance Continent with insufficient cultivation reserves to nurture a new Emperor of Risk.

Now, having gathered the power of the entire Insurance Continent and almost drained all the cultivators, he has finally achieved the unparalleled status of the strongest Insurance Emperor in history, based on the five major insurances and unified into a five-in-one entity.

According to the established procedure, once Jiang Shu attains enlightenment, he should then elevate the status of his entire family and friends. First, he should enhance the cultivation of those who helped him along the way, greatly increasing their power. Then, he should meet with the women he has met along the way, select two to take with him to the Great Thousand World, and then establish a force called the Endless Fire Domain or something similar.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shu took the speedrun route and didn't have this kind of touching experience.

So the next thing to do is to ascend and leave the Insurance Continent, which is actually to leave this incubator. He can leave at any time if he wants.

But Jiang Shu did not do so for the time being.

He glanced at those who had lost their cultivation and realm, either wanting to save the Insurance Continent or contributing their insignificant strength because they believed in him; they were now exhausted and weak.

With his consciousness now powerful enough to cover the entire insurance continent, he swept over all the unfamiliar faces on the continent who had helped him cut the final blow at the last moment.

Jiang Shu, who always likes to sever ties with someone or something without regrets, decides to go all the way.

So he calmed his breathing, sat cross-legged, and his body slowly floated into the sky.

"Then, I should keep my promise."

He whispered softly.

But people all over the world can hear this.

The crowd in the square struggled to lift their heads and look at that godlike figure.

Jiang Shu then pointed his fingers together as if they were swords, one pointing upwards and the other downwards.

"The electricity meter is running backwards!"

As if his words were law, Jiang Shu made no unnecessary movements, but used him as the point of convergence.

Outside the Insurance Continent, all the undeveloped, polluted, and turbid spiritual energy in the Void Land was absorbed by him from the outside world. Then, through the transformation of the five major cultivation techniques, it was transformed into pure cultivation energy, which replenished this world that had become extremely weak after Jiang Shu became the Emperor of Insurance.

Jiang Shu's expression was very unpleasant.

Even though he was the supreme emperor who embodied the five elements, he still found it somewhat difficult to nurture the heavens and earth.

"No wonder the last Emperor of Danger ran away; so this is what giving back is like..."

He muttered to himself, his face pale.

The feeling of that immense spiritual energy flowing through his body, leaving behind filth and sending away clean cultivation was not pleasant.

Although he felt a slight pleasure at first, once the initial excitement wore off and his body gradually adapted and got used to it, all that remained was pain.

"But..."

But Jiang Shu did not give up.

"Those who become emperors in the future, remember this sentence well!"

"If you benefit from something, you should take corresponding responsibility for that benefit!"

Jiang Shu's almost roaring voice was deafening and deeply etched into the hearts of everyone on the insurance continent.

Even students and children who hadn't yet begun their cultivation remembered this phrase.

They secretly vowed that if they ever became emperors of danger, they would never run away like the late-blooming emperors of the danger faction.

Emperor Xiao Yan is their role model.

And right after Jiang Shu finished speaking, those cultivators who had exhausted all their cultivation suddenly felt as if their bodies, which were as dry as rotten wood, had been suddenly filled with a fresh spring.

"This is..."

Their vast and refined cultivation returned to their bodies.

What shocked them even more was that the cultivation techniques they had practiced their whole lives also underwent mysterious changes.

A divine technique called "Emperor Yan's 10 Billion Subsidy" was added to their cultivation method.

Regardless of the method of cultivation, the rewards in cultivation have increased by a full 20% compared to the past!

They never expected that their investment, made just minutes ago, would return to them so quickly and in such an exaggerated way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, all five sect leaders broke through to the level of Nine-Star Perilous Saint, while Bai Yuanyi, Lin Xian'er, Qin Tian, ​​and Liu Rumeng also broke through their bottlenecks and became One-Star Perilous Saints.

The other cultivators also had their own opportunities and grew in their own way.

Jiang Shu single-handedly elevated the overall strength of the Insurance Continent.

Before him, no emperor had ever achieved this level of success.

Only then did people realize the true weight of his words, "I hope to leave behind love and peace, and lead everyone onto the great ship of the new era."

"Emperor Yan... Emperor Yan!"

The cultivators on the continent of Insurance were all moved to tears, singing praises of Jiang Shu's name.

Having done all this, Jiang Shu had completely exhausted the power of the Emperor of Danger that he had just acquired.

However, he disagreed.

It's just something you can't take with you, so why not make the most of it and try doing something interesting you've never done before?

This was the most important of all his purposes in entering the incubator.

Before this, he had never enjoyed the praise and respect of the entire world.

Feeling the support of the people and the will of the nation, Jiang Shu, though exhausted, felt very relaxed and comfortable.

"It feels pretty good, and it's worth reminiscing about for a while."

As if sensing something, the five sect leaders, Jiang Shu's cyber parents, four friends of the same age, and some people who had interacted with Jiang Shu before, such as Elder Sun Liu Ji and the big-sword man from his hometown, all stared at Jiang Shu's face, wanting to deeply imprint this image in their minds.

"Are you leaving?" Liu Ruyi looked up and asked Jiang Shu, "Aren't you really going to consider leaving a child with me first?"

"Thank you, I'm not hungry." Jiang Shu shook his head. "Goodbye, Liu Ruyan."

"My name is Liu Ruyi..."

But Jiang Shu ignored her: "Goodbye everyone. I will leave one more thing behind, which is my last ripple."

May Emperor Yan have a safe journey!

Jiang Shu nodded, then was enveloped in a thick fog and disappeared from the spot.

Only his voice echoed in the air for a long time—"Love and peace!"

The five major techniques transformed into five orbs of light of different colors from the place where they disappeared, returning to the world.

A ray of golden light, like a falling leaf, slowly drifted down.

The leader of the Late Bloomer School reached out and caught the golden light, which then transformed into a thin sheet of paper.

He was deeply moved and said with a sigh, "Truly the greatest emperor of all time. From now on, the Insurance Continent will no longer only have five major sects."

"From now on, it will be the era of five social insurances and one housing fund!"
