I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 602 Come to the door
Hongxia frowned and whispered, "My lord, Cang Shunyi is no ordinary person. Should we inform Master Xia and make preparations as soon as possible?"

Xingyi's heart tightened. She nodded, got up, and walked towards the back hall, her mind heavy with worries.

With two True Immortals and the Cang Mansion behind them, which is a behemoth to her, Xingyi really doesn't know if provoking them will drag Master Xia down!

If it were to become a burden to Master Xia, she would rather, like she did back in the Canglan Palace of the Xuanhuan Realm, stand up resolutely for the Palace Master and the clansmen in the palace and sacrifice herself!
In the rear hall, twelve immortal stones surrounded Xia Daoming, and wisps of immortal energy escaped from the stones, constantly being absorbed into his body and refined into true immortal power.

Within the Yellow Court, the primordial spirit slowly grows stronger, and the meridians gradually become fuller.

Suddenly, pieces of immortal stones cracked open, turning into dust that fell to the ground.

Seeing that another twelve immortal stones had turned to dust, and that the number that his Yellow Court Primordial Spirit and meridians could contain was still far from reaching the upper limit of his True Immortal Three Assemblies, Xia Daoming shook his head.

"At this rate, the immortal stones we've seized on this trip will soon be exhausted, and we're still far from meeting the needs of the True Immortal Assembly!"

His foundation was already solid, and his structure was complete. Now, with his breakthrough to the True Immortal realm, he no longer needed to consider enlightenment or consolidating his foundation. He only needed to absorb and refine a large amount of immortal energy from the immortal stones every day.

However, his True Immortal Three Assemblies realm limit is far higher than that of ordinary True Immortal Three Assemblies realm, so the number of immortal stones required is naturally much larger. The immortal stones paid by the Stream River Dragon Palace are a huge amount for Xingyi and others, but for Xia Daoming, they are just a drop in the bucket and far from enough.

"It seems I still need to think of a way to obtain the immortal stones!" Xia Daoming's mind raced.

Just then, he sensed Xingyi's presence.

With a thought, the palace doors opened wide.

Xingyi moved gracefully to Xia Daoming's side and curtsied.

"Greetings, Master Xia!"

"What is it?" Xia Daoming asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Master Xia, a steward from the Cang Prefecture in the county town has just arrived."

"Oh, what did he say?"

"He said that the Third Master of the Cang family asked me to go to his residence and say some nice things to him!" Xingyi lowered her head slightly, her tone calm, trying her best to suppress the anger of being deeply humiliated.

"You think going to his residence and saying nice things to him is enough? Hmph, I think he has ulterior motives! Like father, like son, no wonder Jiao Ting dares to commit such heinous acts! Go and send that steward away directly, no need to waste words with him!" Xia Daoming's face darkened upon hearing this, and a chilling aura emanated from his body.

"I have already sent that steward away, but this will surely anger Cang Shunyi, and I'm afraid he will personally lead a group to come and demand an explanation soon! Master Xia, what do you think we should do next? Should we report to the City God Pavilion? In any case, I was just doing my duty, and if we really report it, the City God Pavilion can't just ignore it," Xingyi asked for instructions.

“If the City God Pavilion were truly capable, Cang Shunyi wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant! Even if you report it, the City God Pavilion will at most make a show of it and smooth things over. In the end, you, the local deity of Yujian, will still have to compromise.” Xia Daoming sneered disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, Xingyi lowered her head and remained silent.
She naturally knew this would be the outcome; otherwise, her repeated petitions requesting the dispatch of troops would not have been met with such a complete silence.

"You don't need to concern yourself with this matter. You just need to do your duty, promote the incense offerings, strengthen your forces, and send people to search for the true fire and water. I will handle the rest. If Cang Shunyi comes to demand an explanation, I will intervene. If he knows what's good for him, I will spare his life; if he doesn't know when to back down, I will kill him as a sacrifice to appease their spirits, so they won't think that you, the local lord, are easy to bully!" Xia Daoming said calmly upon seeing this.

"Kill..." Xingyi was shocked upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she almost cried out in alarm.

"Go and cultivate, don't worry about me! Since I ordered you to destroy Jiao Ting, I have naturally already taken the worst possible consequences into account," Xia Daoming said.

"Your Majesty, I obey!" Xingyi suppressed her shock and excitement and respectfully withdrew.

Last time, before Xia Daoming underwent his tribulation, he asked her to be patient and wait for his return before raising an army. At that time, she thought that Xia Daoming's words indicated that he had returned from his tribulation and had some confidence in withstanding the pressure from the Cang family.

But it wasn't until Xia Daoming said he would kill Cang Shunyi as a sacrifice to raise the flag that Xingyi suddenly realized that he had the confidence to overthrow the Cang family after his tribulation.
-
Cang Mansion.

After listening to the steward's report, Cang Shunyi slowly put down his wine cup, his expression a half-smile.

"Originally, it would have been fine if Jiao Ting had died; I just wanted to have some fun. Who knew this mermaid woman would be so stubborn, and even approach the threshold of becoming a Void Immortal..."

He chuckled softly, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "In that case, I'm even more eager to meet this local lord."

a few days later.

Cang Shunyi personally visited, wearing a green dragon-patterned Taoist robe, his figure as majestic as a mountain.

As soon as one steps into the Earth God Temple, the entire temple trembles violently, and the golden bells on the eaves ring out without wind, causing the statues of gods in the hall to faintly hum.

"Heh—" Cang Shunyi laughed loudly, his gaze as sharp as a blade fixed on the mermaid woman in the center of the hall, "You are the Jade Stream God Land God? You have undergone the Ninth Tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, and your true essence is condensed and powerful. No wonder you were able to kill Jiao Ting."

The voice was soft, yet it struck like a thunderclap. As the sound reverberated, a terrifying aura of authority and power descended.

The temple's servants were terrified and were forced to prostrate themselves on the ground, not daring to even breathe.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals.

The power of a true immortal is the might of heaven to mortals!

Only Xingyi, with a scepter hanging from her head, moved forward slowly with delicate steps, her snow-white skin reflecting the water's shimmer, her bright eyes clear as the moon. Although her magical power was being suppressed so tightly that even her breathing felt like it was being crushed, she still stood tall and did not retreat a single step.

"Jiaoting has been wreaking havoc in this region, and despite repeated attempts to dissuade him, he has refused to stop. I have executed him to fulfill my duty as the local ruler!"

Although her voice was not as powerful as Cang Shunyi's, it was clear, firm, and resounding.

Cang Shunyi's lips curled into a cold smile. He took another step forward, and his True Immortal aura crashed down like a mountain collapsing from the heavens. The entire hall instantly seemed to sink into a quagmire. The light of the Earth God's Tablet extinguished, and Xingyi felt as if a colossal mountain was pressing down on her shoulders. The spiritual light on her body shattered inch by inch, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"The responsibility of the land? Heh, a mere ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dares to speak of responsibility before me? Do you know that in the blink of an eye, I can erase you and this land temple!"

Before the words were even finished, the heavens and earth roared, and the statues in the hall rattled as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

at this time--

boom!
An even more vast and domineering aura, like a celestial river bursting its banks, suddenly burst forth from the rear hall, soaring straight into the heavens!

In an instant, the energy of the entire world reversed, and the pressure of the True Immortal exerted by Cang Shunyi was crushed inch by inch, just like snow melting away in an instant under the scorching sun!

The soldiers in the hall suddenly relaxed, feeling their spiritual energy flowing through their bodies again, and all of them showed great joy.

Xingyi's body trembled, then she straightened up, her pretty face revealing uncontrollable surprise and awe.

　That concludes today's update.
