Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Everyone is undergoing tribulation; it's not good if the divine cultivators are too outstanding.

Even if it's just complaining, or feeling envious and jealous, it's best not to have such feelings.

The divine cultivators led by Wei Qiancheng have always prioritized stability.

Even though they are already so powerful, they are still very low-key and cautious, and they don't have any of the so-called "problems" of monotheistic religions.

He was always very satisfied with his cultivation of the Divine Cultivation of the Profound Yellow.

After reviewing the current situation of his subordinates, Xuanhuang, unusually, turned his gaze to Xuanying and Xuanling.

Two strange monks.

One founded the Shadow Assassin Alliance, and the other founded the Spirit Plant Path.

Needless to say, the Shadow Kill Alliance exists in the shadows even now, as it is not a force that can be brought into the open.

Strictly speaking, Xuan Ying's development did not rely on the Shadow Kill Alliance, but on Qingyun Mountain.

Since it was integrated into Qingyun Mountain, it can practically lie down and relax.

Qingyun Mountain will take it flying.

Instead of giving up, it continued to strive for progress, whether by becoming the largest supplier of magical artifacts or by developing the Shadow Kill Alliance.

Now at the third tier, its mastery of the Shadow Path is unparalleled.

Even the spatial storage bag has evolved several times. The most primitive method required cutting open the secret realm space, which meant that raw materials were needed.

Now it's not necessary at all; it can tear open the void itself to create spatial storage artifacts.

Having witnessed the supreme treasure's techniques, it summarized its own experience and created its own unique method.

The assassins of the Shadow Assassins have finally found their own method.

Previously, Xuan Ying only provided assistance to the Shadow Assassins, but now he has completed a full-scale cultivation.

Every Shadow Assassin is the best assassin.

They can walk in the shadows; wherever there is shadow, there are their footprints.

The opposite of shadow is light, which is merely the refraction of light. Since one can cultivate the shadow, one can certainly pursue the light.

It can hide in the shadows, or it can hide in the light.

While the path of shadow alone is not weak, it pales in comparison to the supreme treasure of magic.

Xuan Ying also cares about his reputation. Since he has created his own lineage, he must do his best and strive to make a name for himself.

As the master's guardian spirit, its status is no different from that of the master's spirit beast and supreme treasure.

The disciples of the Spirit Beast Treasure Sect are all working hard. If I am too lazy, even if the master doesn't say anything, don't I feel like I'm failing and it's shameful?

Xuan Ying was also swept up.

The method of creating shadows is the beginning, from shadow to light, from the unity of opposites to the Great Way.

Although it hasn't reached that level yet, its creative ideas and concepts are ambitious.

Is a psychological trauma a trauma?
Is the shadow of time a shadow?
Is the shadow of misfortune or good fortune a shadow?
It has lofty aspirations, extending its own shadow towards the rule of all paths.

Even if it's just a castle in the air, something in the realm of fantasy, what if it actually comes true?

If you don't want to be a lazy bum, then set a goal that you must strive for throughout your life, so that you won't dare to slack off.

Even the strongest assassin in the Shadow Assassins Alliance has a cultivation level of mid-stage Rank 2.

And there is more than one.

Although it can't compare to the top four, or even the top eight, it's already quite good.

With the Four Superpowers and Eight Great Powers under their command, no other force dares to offend the Shadow Killer Alliance.

The second spirit master is Hope Brother, Xuanling.

A typical example of someone who has completely embraced the farming lifestyle.

They don't compete or fight; they make a living through their skills.

It supplied 30% of the spiritual rice, 60% of the spiritual medicine, 70% of the spiritual roots, and nearly 80% of the spiritual fields for cultivation projects.

It is both a technology supplier and a service provider.

He was also a true landlord, producing a near-monopoly on spiritual plant resources.

It can be said that the already developed cultivation world cannot do without him.

Without Xuanling, the spiritual medicines available for refining elixirs in the cultivation world will be reduced by more than half. Cultivators who wish to cultivate spiritual roots using the "Inner Landscape Spiritual Root Method" or the "Outer Landscape Spiritual Root Method" will not be able to obtain the spiritual roots they desire.

Even the spiritual rice and spiritual grains that we eat regularly will be greatly reduced.

Lingmi and the like seem to only account for 30%, or even less than 30%.

Xuanling intentionally targets the high-end market, refusing to participate in the mid-to-low-end market; top-grade spiritual rice is his only pursuit.

It disdains to grow the kind of spiritual rice that ordinary people can cultivate.

We should also leave some space for the survival of cultivators at the lower levels.

I can't monopolize it all. I should plant some high-grade spiritual materials that others can't grow, so that no one will complain.

Even if I planted them for you, you wouldn't be able to do it; you're useless.

Therefore, Lingmi only targets the high-end market.

There are not many concerns about spiritual herbs, because even with such a large-scale cultivation by Xuanling, it is still a drop in the ocean.

The market for spiritual herbs is in dire need of supplies. Those who can afford to buy pills are usually wealthy or high-level cultivators.

Ordinary rogue cultivators don't spend their time accumulating points and consuming pills all day. They would save a rare elixir for use when breaking through to the next level.

For cultivators at the lower levels, elixirs and miraculous medicines are rare.

It is in high demand but not readily available, so we can plant as much of it as possible. There is no problem that if too many of these plants are planted, other living beings will be left with nowhere to go.

However, Xuan Ying is currently undergoing a planned downsizing.

We still need to focus on high-end, sophisticated methods. We don't plan to grow some common medicinal herbs anymore because the return on investment is not high.

With limited manpower, there's no need to cultivate common medicinal herbs; high-end and sophisticated herbs are our specialty.

Furthermore, the most important thing is one's own path.

Since it was no longer a strange entity, and with the Lord's suppression and assistance, it developed intelligence and, strictly speaking, became a living being.

Now that you've become a normal living being, you should strive for your future.

Xuanling followed a path similar to that of an Earth Immortal.

Generally, cultivators open their dantian to contain their own Dharma, and the dantian they open is intended to develop into a blessed land or grotto-heaven.

Xuanling is also at the limit of the third rank.

It divided its own laws into four levels: first-level Dantian, second-level Cave Heaven, third-level Blessed Land, and fourth-level World King.

There are differences below the fourth rank, but there are no differences when a fourth-rank True King opens up the world.

It devoted a great deal of effort to completing its own law.

Everyone says he's the richest man in the world, but he's actually not that rich.

The accumulated points were converted into merit points, which were then used to purchase materials for my own cultivation.

Of course, ordinary blessed lands don't need so many, but this one is different; it specifically selects the best.

The Five Elements Spiritual Materials were obtained from the Five Elements Masters, such as the Breath Soil, the Heavenly Water, the Primordial Fire, and so on...

The World Tree at the center of the blessed land was created by inviting Jianmu trees to take root.

Think about it, such precious materials are something that most cultivators have never even heard of. All the wealth it has accumulated over the years has been used for this.

Of course, this also contributed to his power as the ancestor of earth immortals.

The spiritual materials exchanged here by the Five Elements Master are not simply disposable items.

These precious materials are all at the origin level, capable of growing and multiplying on their own.

Once obtained, as long as the earth immortal doesn't die, it's inexhaustible; it just requires a long time to accumulate.

Moreover, these spiritual materials are all mediums that can communicate with the source of the five elements, which is quite magical.

Xuanling also began to train subordinates.

The subordinates mentioned here are not scarecrows. Strictly speaking, scarecrows are not living beings, but rather puppets. Although they can grow stronger by following the owner, their nature determines that they are merely puppets and cannot grow into living beings with unique intelligence.

Therefore, only humans can train subordinates.

It did not create subordinate cultivators like Zhibao, nor did it develop an assassin alliance like Xuanying.

Instead, it was like founding a sect, taking in disciples to establish a school.

All the disciples followed the methods of the Earth Immortals.

Because the development period is still short, not many places can be seen yet.

However, with such a wealthy man as him, having created the Earth Immortal Technique, and receiving support from the Five Elements Master Jianmu and others, it would be impossible for him not to become powerful.

She is definitely a rising star.

In other words, it follows a farming-oriented style, not competing or fighting for anything. If it weren't for its prominent farming characteristics, it would definitely be a rising star.

From cultivating and selling spiritual materials, to now establishing their own sect and creating their own lineage.

Xuanling also underwent a transformation.

Only by leaving more imprints, imprints on this world, can we get closer to the truth.

This is an essential step in spiritual practice.

Even if you are very strong and have great talent, if you don't participate in anything, you don't care about leaving a trace like a wild goose flying by or a person leaving a name behind.

Then what the world gives you will be dispensable.

Unless you are so powerful that even the Heavenly Dao cannot control you, if you do not imprint reality, you are just an illusion.

This is the essence of this world.

Xuanling took this step.

Xuanhuang nodded in satisfaction, finding this even more pleasing than if it had been a wealthy man before.

If we're talking about spirit control, Xuanhuang also has a subordinate.

Of course, you could also say she is a spirit beast.

It was none other than the Zerg Queen, the Star Mother Yuanjun.

After being recruited by the Lord of All Beings, she was granted the Realm of Bright Lake.

Over the years, the Demoness of Annihilation has lost much of her prominence, and everyone knows that she has gone into seclusion.

Of course, "female demon" is the title given to her by the realm's deity.

In the cultivation world, she is the dignified Star Mother Primordial Sovereign, the number one expert below the Dao Lord, and all living beings (except for supreme treasures, which do not belong to living beings).
With the help of the original source of Minghu Boundary.

The Star Mother Primordial Sovereign's understanding of the profound mysteries has reached a level of over 90,000.

The insights gained from pursuing the ultimate treasures still come from the Void Blade, the Bone Pagoda, and the Gate of Time and Dreams.

The Azure Cloud Boat and the Ghost Ship have already been surpassed by the Star Mother Yuanjun.

Her ability to destroy realms is too strong; the origin of realms is composed of countless mysteries, mystical seeds, profound secrets, laws, and so on.

If it can be destroyed, then it can naturally be devoured and refined.

Her Zerg army is capable of doing it.

With each realm destroyed, her comprehension increases exponentially, and her current comprehension of over 90,000 is no miracle.

100,000 is her limit. After comprehending 100,000, breaking through will be the best time to die.

Don't compare it to a supreme treasure. Strictly speaking, a supreme treasure is not a living being; it's just that the supreme treasures of Xuanhuang are very special.

A simple being cannot bear the weight of a complete understanding; it cannot even bear the weight of its own karma and destiny.

The most precious treasures are inanimate objects; even if they possess a trace of intelligence, they are still inanimate objects. They are the most precious treasures created by the evolution of heaven and earth.

The situation of a precious treasure cannot be compared with that of a normal living being.

Including the Star Mother Yuanjun, the little fox, and the twelve disciples of Xuanhuang, 100,000 insights constitute complete enlightenment.

Another point is that treasures have many unchanging factors, while living beings have many changing factors.

In other words, even if a being has 100,000 insights and enters the fourth level, it can gradually make up for the deficiencies in its future cultivation. That's how it is.

The most precious treasures are different; they are almost predetermined. The kind of insights one gains that lead to a higher level are easily fixed, and one will remain at that level for the rest of one's life.

What is the enlightenment gained from the Supreme Treasure called?
It is a law inscription.

For example, the inscription Xuanhuang gave to the Fire Lamp was a set of twelve laws.

The insights gained by ordinary beings are called profound insights, which are divided into three thousand to one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred.

This is the biggest difference between the two.

Under the laws of creation, it is as if heaven and earth are evolving with supreme treasures, so it is very simple to attain a perfect understanding.

Living beings cannot bear so many insights; their essence, spirit, soul, and mind would be crushed.

After all, every insight adds a little weight to your spirit and energy; too much weight and you can't bear it.

One hundred thousand is the limit for a living being; Xuanhuang has not yet discovered a way to support more than one hundred thousand living beings.

Do such creatures exist?

There certainly are, but they are absolutely miracles among miracles, and even "miracle" is not enough to describe them; they are things that have arisen out of necessity.

Otherwise, such creatures would not exist.

Once she reaches 100,000 levels of enlightenment, the Holy Mother of Tushan will be able to transcend the tribulation and enter the fourth-order True King level.

It is currently the closest to the fourth tier among all its subordinates, even faster than the three great treasures.

It seems that there is only one insight into the three great treasures, but as mentioned before, this thing may take a moment or ten thousand years.

Only the Holy Mother of Tushan offers a stable upgrade; there are no obstacles like those encountered with the Three Great Treasures.

As expected, the first to reach the fourth rank was the Holy Mother of Tushan.

After all, is she simply the Holy Mother of Tushan?
Not just that, she is also the Queen of Destruction, the Nemesis of Realms, and the Spirit Master of Xuanhuang.

In addition, it plundered the fortune of the starry sky.

This last point is what made her take the lead.

Everyone has the identities mentioned earlier, but what about the three great treasures? Doesn't the little fox have them?

Xuanling and Xuanying are also Xuanhuang's tamed beasts.

The only difference is the lack of plundering the fortune of a top-tier realm.

It was truly born of the opportune moment, in accordance with the destiny of the realm, and is the nemesis of all realms.

"The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation? Hmm, I need to be careful."

Xuanhuang's gaze spanned millennia, revealing the heavenly tribulation that the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign would have to overcome in the future—a nine-nine heavenly tribulation, extremely dangerous.

The power of Xuanhuang lies in its ability to influence the future.

Now, with just a glance, he can almost see through the entire life of a living being.

"However, she didn't miss the tribulation-crossing technique, so there's no major problem. She became the first fourth-tier True King."

With the tribulation-crossing secret method passed down by Xuanhuang, even if the Holy Mother of Tushan needs to undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, she will be safe and sound.

"Alright, alright. Your 'Cataclysmic Seed' is a bit lacking. Let me give you a little encouragement."

Xuanhuang pointed out with his finger.

A wisp of light passed silently through the membrane of the Great Universe of Reincarnation, traversing the void of the starry sky, and finally landed in the soul of the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign, who was in seclusion in the Minghu Realm of Nanshi.

"Um!?"

The Star Mother Yuanjun suddenly trembled.

He discovered that the seed of calamity he had painstakingly cultivated had gained an extra layer of purple light.

It's not just a tenfold increase, it's a complete transformation.

"This? My lord?!"

The Star Mother Yuanjun immediately understood what had happened.
