Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Zizi!

As if sensing Su Jie's excitement, the Thousand-Armed Centipede crawled out from Su Jie's sleeves, and the annual ringworm was sleeping soundly on its head.

"Xiao Qian, do you want to be promoted to the tenth level golden Gu?"

Su Jie touched the head of the Thousand-Armed Centipede and a smile appeared on his face.

No matter how difficult it is to make money, as long as this path is feasible, Su Jie will continue to move forward unswervingly.

"Zizi!"

The Thousand-Armed Centipede happily waved the two tentacles on top of its head and rolled back and forth, showing that it really wanted to make progress.

If above the Purple Mansion cultivator is the Dongxu realm, and above the ninth-grade evil ghost is the Yinxu Ghost King.

Then the so-called ten-turn golden Gu is a realm above the top-grade nine-refined Gu worm.

When it comes to playing with insects, no one in the Dali Dynasty is better than Guiling Palace. If Guiling Palace is second, no one dares to claim to be first.

Therefore, the future of top-grade nine-refined poisonous insects like the Thousand-Handed Centipede has long been studied by the ancestors of the Guiling Palace.

The Gu worm that is one dimension more terrifying than the top-grade Nine-Refined Gu worm is called the Ten-Transformation Golden Gu, also known as the Taoist Gu, and is extremely rare.

This level of poisonous insect itself represents a part of the Great Dao and possesses extraordinary spirituality and tremendous power.

According to ancient historical records, the Ten-Turn Golden Gu once bred naturally in the wild, causing a devastating insect plague that led to the destruction of multiple countries and sects. It was even said that it once devoured a powerful Cave Void Realm expert alive.

However, the ancient times are too long ago, and the historical truth is no longer known.

Anyway, after the establishment of Guiling Palace, there has been no sighting of the Ten-Turn Golden Gu. It seems to be just a legend in history.

However, the ancestors of Guiling Palace never gave up. Many of them wanted to cultivate a ten-turn golden Gu that could devour the Dongxu realm.

Especially after possessing the annual ringworm, it has become the obsession of many Guiling Palace ancestors.

Under the guidance of the founder of Guiling Palace, they searched for answers in ancient books.

In the end, the ancestors of Guiling Palace believed that in order to refine the Ten-Turn Golden Gu, they must enter the long river of the Avenue. The Gu worm needs to devour or parasitize a space in the long river of the Avenue and completely transform its body into a Avenue body. At that time, the Ten-Turn Golden Gu is actually equivalent to a walking natural disaster on the Avenue, which is extremely terrifying.

This coincides with Su Jie's idea. If you practice cultivation, you will eventually reach the same destination.

Cultivators need to refine the blessed land to achieve the Cave Void, and ghosts also need to cut and refine a part of the long river to become the Yinxu Ghost King, so the Ten-Turn Golden Gu also makes use of space.

"Xiao Qian, you are now on the right track. As long as your soul is transformed into a heavenly palace, you will be more compatible with the Great Dao space. Combined with your Great Dao biological body, it is a sure thing that you will be promoted to the tenth-turn golden Gu."

A smile appeared on Su Jie's lips. The Thousand-Armed Centipede was originally evolving towards a Dao organism, and was naturally close to the long river of Dao.

But the body is the body, and the soul is the soul.

It is useless if the body is in harmony with the Tao but the soul is not.

But once the Purple Mansion Heavenly Palace is completed, it can greatly strengthen the soul and spirit, which can make up for the shortcomings of the Thousand-Armed Centipede and give it hope of being promoted to the Ten-Turn Golden Gu.

Eeyah eyah eyah!
As if it heard Su Jie talking about the Ten-turn Golden Gu, the annual ringworm quietly opened its eyes at some point, made a childish cry, and looked at Su Jie with its sesame-sized eyes without blinking.

Under Su Jie's surprised gaze, the annual ringworm crawled from the centipede's head to Su Jie's palm, then squinted its eyes, and suddenly lay down again, closed its eyes, and seemed to fall asleep.

"what!"

Su Jie was stunned, and then his face suddenly changed.

Because in Su Jie's perception, the soul of the annual ring worm is entering a special dormant state. The power of time is flowing on it, and the power of the long river is directly applied to the body of the annual ring worm.

The power of time is constantly colliding with the long river of the Tao, making the physical body more in line with the long river of the Tao.

Because the changes were completed in a very small range, all within the body of the annual ring worm, Su Jie did not notice the power of the Great River flowing. If the annual ring worm had not taken the initiative to exert its power this time, Su Jie would not have been able to detect it.

"This is... preparation for the long river of parasitic avenue. It's incredible. It's like building a temple in a snail shell."

Su Jie understood instantly, and his sharp eyes could see the problem with the annual ringworms at a glance.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

The annual ringworm opened its eyes again, opened its mouth and spit, and the power of the long river in its body also dissipated.

"I see."

Su Jie understood everything. Perhaps some ancestor of contracted annual ringworms in the past developed such a method.

The reason why annual ringworms are so sleepy and can sleep for ten days, half a month, or even several years is probably because they can draw the power of the long river during their sleep.

This is to allow the annual ringworm to adapt to the power of the Great River, and to prepare for the possible day in the future when it can use its insect body to parasitize a certain space in the Great River and achieve the tenth-level golden insect.

Although the ancestor may not have believed that this day would come, the annual ringworm did it.

"I have to say, Guiling Palace really left me a great treasure!"

Su Jie muttered to himself that the Thousand-Armed Centipede and the Annual Ringworm took different paths.

If the Thousand-Armed Centipede wants to evolve into the Tenth-Turn Golden Gu, it must prove its Dao with force, and directly swallow a piece of void in the long river of the Dao into its stomach, and directly refine it into a part of itself.

The Thousand-Armed Centipede's Dao organism can carry the power of the long river of Dao, which is the best route for promotion.

What the annual ringworm does is to parasitize the void of a long river. Just like the special ability that many poisonous insects have, they parasitize the flesh and blood of other people and make them become puppets for their own use.

In the Tianyuan world, a poisonous insect can even parasitize and control a mountain beast that is billions of times its own size.

However, the difficulty of parasitizing a flesh and blood body is not the same as parasitizing a space, especially the space of a long river. But this is also a way to become a tenth-level golden Gu.

"In the future, I might be able to refine two 10th-turn golden Gu and become the best insect breeder."

Looking at the annual ringworms and the thousand-armed centipede, Su Jie's heart felt hot at the thought of this possibility.

After determining the future path, Su Jie walked out of the secret room where he had been secluded for three days.

As soon as he walked out, Zhang Junwei and others received the news and came over, obviously having something to report.

But it shouldn't be a big deal. If it was something important, it wouldn't have to wait until Su Jie finished his retreat.

"Master, there is news from the Dali royal family."

Zhang Junwei was holding an imperial edict with a strange expression on his face.

On the side, Qin Yuchang had a slightly strange expression.

Because this news was conveyed by the Dali royal family through the Sky Patrol, and finally the imperial edict was delivered to her, who passed it on to the Guiling Palace. However, because Su Jie was in seclusion, she was unable to deliver it to Su Jie in person.

"Oh, the royal edict, show it to me."

Su Jie was a little confused and took it and unfolded it.

After taking a look at the content above, Su Jie's originally calm expression suddenly became somewhat ridiculous.

"Haha, what is the Emperor of Dali thinking? He actually gave me the title of King Qing and named our Guiling Palace as the Southern Garrison. This is simply nonsense."

Su Jie couldn't help laughing when he saw the contents of the imperial edict, but after thinking about it, he roughly understood why the Dali royal family did this.

This is to recruit Guiling Palace, or at least stabilize Guiling Palace for a while.

Qin Yuchang lowered her head, feeling somewhat ashamed.

The Dali royal family was so arrogant at first and then humble. They wanted to kill Su Jie before, but now that the Guiling Palace has three supreme masters, they immediately crowned Su Jie as a king without giving him any face. "Tsk tsk, this royal family has a good plan."

Su Jie shook his head, which means that Su Jie now needs to concentrate on preparing for the promotion to Zifu Heavenly Palace, otherwise Su Jie would want to go directly to Dali City.

"But since I was crowned the King of Qing, I remember that a king has the power to raise taxes, recruit soldiers, and appoint officials."

Su Jie stroked his chin and suddenly laughed: "As the King of Qing, in charge of the Southern Garrison, I must be a benevolent ruler."

Su Jie is short of money now, a lot of money, so he can use this name to make some money.

Soon, Su Jie looked at Liu Yingying who was standing in front of him and said to her: "Yingying, I remember that there are still many industries of aristocratic families in the Three States. Our Guiling Palace is going to build a wonder. It's time for them to contribute to Guiling Palace. Hurry up and collect a wonder tax from them. You can use other means as you wish."

"Build wonders and collect taxes?"

Zhang Junwei and several other high-ranking officials of Guiling Palace looked at each other, wondering why Su Jie suddenly wanted to build a wonder.

Liu Yingying blinked her eyes. When it comes to economic planning, Liu Yingying is much better than those magic cultivators from Guiling Palace. As soon as she heard Su Jie's words, she knew that Su Jie was going to take action against those powerful families.

"Su Jie, most of those aristocratic families are cultivation families, do you want to touch them?"

Qin Yuchang also heard Su Jie's words and her beautiful eyes widened.

The aristocratic and powerful families in the Tianyuan world are not just those that annex land and monopolize local political power, they are more of a family of practitioners.

There is a saying in the Tianyuan world: dynasties come and go, but families remain forever.

This shows how terrifying the powerful families are. These powerful families are actually cultivation families that are linked by blood.

Some of these powerful families existed before the founding of the Dali Dynasty, and their traditions span thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

If the sects are the local separatist forces in the Dali Dynasty on the surface, then the powerful families are the turbulent undercurrents in secret.

Powerful families often hold local political power, cultural power, economic power, social power, and even monopolize resources for spiritual practice.

In addition to the sect's sphere of influence and affiliated production areas, the powerful families also occupy spiritual mineral veins, spiritual fields, and spiritual material production areas of varying sizes.

More importantly, many disciples of the sects actually belong to these aristocratic families.

Every year, due to limited resources, the resources of the powerful families are often only provided to the most outstanding young generation. Disciples with less qualifications either engage in other family livelihoods or go out to develop on their own. Many children from powerful families join the sect.

This is especially true for the orthodox sects. Many aristocratic families have close ties with the major sects.

Although the sect is powerful, it is also made up of people. Once there are a lot of children from noble families, there will always be people who can rise to high positions and naturally be able to participate in all aspects of the sect's decision-making.

At the same time, the aristocratic and powerful families monopolized politics by holding power, because they basically monopolized culture, and by monopolizing culture.

It was difficult for common people to be literate and acquire knowledge, but aristocratic families could easily obtain prestigious official positions simply by virtue of their birth. In addition, the foundation that aristocratic families possessed in terms of cultivation was also the strength that the Dali Dynasty needed.

Over the years, the major aristocratic families have continuously sent their children to the central government, and almost all officials of the Dali Dynasty have the shadow of those thousand-year-old aristocratic families behind them.

Even the Dali royal family sometimes needs to seek cooperation with thousand-year-old families.

This has become particularly evident in today's turbulent times, when the power of the imperial power in Dali has weakened and the power of the aristocratic families has grown stronger.

Those powerful aristocratic families almost never pay taxes.

Not only did they themselves not pay taxes, even the poor farmers and merchants who depended on the noble families hardly paid taxes, because these people were not on the tax bureau's list at all.

In places controlled by the aristocratic families, it is very easy for them, as local tyrants, to deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates.

If there are people who are ignorant and dare to send tax collection teams to the countryside to check and collect taxes, then the disciples of the cultivation trained by the aristocratic families will be put to good use.

The tax collection teams would often disappear without a trace, and by the time they were found, their bodies had already started stinking.

Over time, it became increasingly difficult to collect taxes, and the Dali Dynasty naturally became poorer and poorer.

"Why, this family cannot be touched? I even destroyed the Tantric Buddhism. There is nothing in this world that I dare not touch."

Su Jie disagreed. In fact, these powerful families were basically engaged in various caravan businesses. In the past, Guiling Palace needed them to develop the economy.

But now, Guiling Palace has established a firm foothold in the three states, and all the major sects have submitted to it.

In addition, Su Jie now needs money to build a heavenly-level wonder, so he must find ways to get money. Since these wealthy families are quite wealthy, don't blame Su Jie for sharpening his knives.

"This"

Qin Yushang didn't know what to say. Indeed, Su Jie had defeated three Purple Mansion Divine Monks. All the powerful families in the three southern states combined were no match for Su Jie.

Qin Yuchang instinctively felt that something was wrong due to her inherent ideas, but the actual situation was that Su Jie's personal strength was even more terrifying.

"I heard that there are three clans and five surnames in the world, but my Guiling Palace is not one of them. Now the royal family has named me the King of Qing, so I have to make some arrangements."

Su Jie sneered. There has been a saying that the Dali Dynasty has three clans and five surnames since ancient times.

The three sects are called Jiutian Palace, Yinyangzhai and Ziyun Pavilion respectively. All three sects have Purple Mansion cultivators in charge, and the number of Purple Mansion cultivators has never been cut off in history.

Sects like Guanchao Pavilion and Huoyun Palace occasionally produced Purple Mansion cultivators in history, but later died and no Purple Mansion cultivators succeeded them, so they could not reach the level of the three sects.

The Five Surnames are five thousand-year-old families with a long history, namely the Lianzhou Li family, the Lanzhou Song family, the Anzhou Gao family, the Fengzhou Lu family, and the Qingzhou Cui family.

The family heritage of these five thousand-year-old families is even longer than that of the Dali royal family, and their background is amazing.

Everyone says that although these five great families, unlike the three sects, all have Purple Mansion cultivators in charge, but with the heritage of a thousand-year-old family, they must have treasures and talismans as heirlooms that are no less powerful than the Purple Mansion.

The Three Sects and Five Surnames are widely circulated in the Dali Dynasty and are also recognized by all cultivators in the world.

"are you serious?"

Qin Yushang thought she understood Su Jie's arrogance, but when she heard Su Jie say this, she found that her understanding of Su Jie was too one-sided, and she could not imagine Su Jie's arrogance at all.

Su Jie said with great pride: "The Dali royal family is afraid of this and that, but I, Su Jie, have experienced all kinds of storms. So what if I am from a thousand-year-old family? I have the ability to produce three more Purple Palaces.

Today I will tell the world a truth. The things that your Dali Dynasty dare not take care of, the things that the Patrol Department is afraid to take action on, we at Guiling Palace will definitely take care of. "

"The noble families are all related and have always liked to intermarry and form alliances, including the Five Surnames. This will cause a huge uproar."

Qin Yushang was shocked. If someone else did this, she would just think he was a lunatic.

But the person who did this was Su Jie, a man with three purple palaces in his family. Anyone who heard about it would shudder.

Liu Yingying glanced at Qin Yuchang. Her confidence in Su Jie had never wavered. She spoke for Su Jie and said, "Miss Qin, what are you talking about? You should know that the person standing in front of you is the strongest in the magic world."

With a strong tone of pride, Liu Yingying looked at Qin Yushang with an extremely determined expression.

Qin Yushang was speechless. The strongest in the magic way was enough to explain everything.

Su Jie raised his sleeves, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede crawled out and climbed onto Liu Yingying: "Yingying, just do as I tell you. I want to see who in this world dares not to obey."

"it is good."

Liu Yingying held the Thousand-Armed Centipede and nodded heavily.

Zizi!

The Thousand-Armed Centipede makes a sound to indicate who is disobedient and to see whether their bones are harder or their fangs are harder.

Under Su Jie's arrangement, the Guiling Palace, which had just swept across the Western Regions and destroyed Tantric Buddhism and was given the responsibility of the Southern Guardian Office, once again made large-scale movements. Teams of Guiling Palace monks and disciples went out and rushed to the three states. (End of this chapter)
