I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 707 Becoming a Golden Immortal, Returning to Biyuan County
"Cang Yu is finally about to undergo his final tribulation!"

Xia Daoming felt both delighted and somewhat heavy-hearted.

This calamity is extremely fierce; the slightest mistake could reduce a millennia-old foundation to ashes in an instant.

Even though the Azure Feather Eagle King has a ten-thousand-year foundation at the Twelfth Assembly Realm, and with the help of the Great Dao he was taught and the Nine Profound Golden Embryo Pill, his chances of surviving this tribulation are no more than fifty percent.

For many people, 50% is already considered extremely high!
Most people simply cannot obtain the Nine Profound Golden Embryo Pill; having even a 10% or 20% chance would be considered very good.

"What's meant to happen will happen. Now that things have come to this, we've done all we can. We can only wish him good fortune!"

Xia Daoming quickly regained his composure.

He issued an order forbidding anyone from approaching the guardian beast's cave, and specially dispatched two divine soldiers to guard the cave to prevent any accidents from happening.

The duration of a tribulation can vary.

Generally speaking, a capable person can quickly subdue and extinguish the flames of calamity, and the calamity will pass quickly.

However, the final calamity fire was extremely powerful. It took the Azure Feather Eagle King a full forty-nine days, during which he experienced countless dangers, before he finally subdued and extinguished the calamity fire.

As the calamity subsided, a Daoist chant echoed within the Azure Feather Eagle King's body, and golden rain fell from the sky, seeping into his form.

The Azure Feather Eagle King sat upright on the futon, his whole body radiating golden light. His dignified appearance and indescribable majesty inspired awe and made people want to bow down and worship him.

This strange phenomenon lasted for several dozen breaths before gradually disappearing.

The Azure Feather Eagle King slowly opened its eyes. Its injuries and fatigue were completely swept away. From the inside out, it was as if it had broken out of its cocoon and been reborn.

An unprecedented sense of power and strength filled his body.

However, the naturally arrogant and proud Azure Feather Eagle King did not become arrogant or conceited this time because he had stepped into the Golden Immortal realm and become stronger than ever before.

On the contrary, the Azure Feather Eagle King immediately got up, left the cave, and headed towards the main hall of the sect leader.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the main hall, the doors opened automatically.

In the main hall, Xia Daoming sat high on the throne of the sect leader.

Yue Huang and the others were also seated in the hall.

Upon seeing the Azure Feather Eagle King appear at the palace entrance, Yue Huang and the others showed joy and envy on their faces.

The Azure Feather Eagle King straightened his immortal robes, came to the throne of the sect leader, and slowly knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

"This disciple thanks the Sect Leader for his life-saving grace. I will be loyal to the Sect Leader and the Qingyuan Sect for the rest of my life!"

Xia Daoming stepped down from his throne, helped the Azure Feather Eagle King up, and said, "Congratulations on attaining the Golden Immortal Path. However, the road ahead is still long. You must remember not to be arrogant or conceited, and even more so, never to use your cultivation to do evil!"

"This disciple will never forget the teachings of the Sect Master!" the Azure Feather Eagle King said solemnly.

Xia Daoming nodded and returned to his position as sect leader.

Yue Huang and the others stepped forward to offer their congratulations, and the Azure Feather Eagle King returned their greetings one by one.
-
half year later.

A giant eagle soared into the sky from Xiaolang Mountain and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The giant eagle was none other than the Azure Feathered Eagle King.

On its back stood Xia Daoming, Yue Huang, and Tong Li, master and apprentice.

The Heavenly Court of Suiyuan Prefecture was weak, and various factions were divided in their own territories, constantly fighting each other for resources and land.

In such a chaotic situation, the Qingyuan Sect was able to achieve more and seize the opportunity to rise to power.

Therefore, Xia Daoming left the main force of the Qingyuan Sect, including the Azure Feather Eagle King, in Suiyuan Prefecture.

On this trip, Xia Daoming was only using the speed of the Azure Feather Eagle King to quickly return to Chijiang Prefecture. Afterwards, the Azure Feather Eagle King would still need to return to Langming County to take charge.

In Chijiang Prefecture, the Qingyuan Sect had already established a foothold. Adhering to the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket and having multiple burrows, Xia Daoming naturally wanted to find a way to expand his sect as well.

However, with Xingyi and the others' current strength, they are not enough to intimidate Biyuan County, let alone radiate influence to the surrounding counties.

After discussing with Yue Huang and others, Xia Daoming decided to transfer Yue Huang and his apprentice to Biyuan County to take charge.

Of course, Xia Daoming's decision to divide his troops to garrison Biyuan County stemmed from another secret he never mentioned. That secret was that the spatial rift passage leading to the fragmented land of the Primordial World was located at the border between Biyuan County and Yuntai County.

Xia Daoming naturally had to make arrangements in advance for such important locations.

In the future, the tens of thousands of miles of the area where that spatial rift passage is located will definitely be incorporated into the Qingyuan Sect's branch sect.

However, Xia Daoming has not yet explored that place, and he does not know what it is like. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to make arrangements, so as not to appear to be trying to hide something.
-
The Azure Feather Eagle King is extremely fast.

In the past, it would have taken Xia Daoming more than ten years to cross a single state by celestial boat, but the Azure Feather Eagle King had already flown across the Suiyuan State and arrived at the Chijiang State in just ten days.

After arriving in Chijiang Prefecture, Xia Daoming did not rush to steal the Three Lights Divine Water from the Chijiang Dragon Palace. Instead, he rode the Azure Feather Eagle King all the way to Biyuan County.

About ten days later, Xia Daoming and his party quietly flew over Biyuan County.

Decades ago, when Xia Daoming left Yujianqi, Xingyi had already been appointed as the patrol officer in charge of 103 Qi sites in the northwest region of Biyuan County.

As a result, Yujian also undertook large-scale construction, presenting a prosperous and busy scene.

But now it is a desolate scene, with no birds in front of the patrol officer's mansion.

The surrounding local temples were mostly deserted and lacked any sign of worship.

Logically speaking, the location of the patrol officer's residence is in the center of the northwest district of Biyuan County, and the incense of the surrounding land temples should be much more prosperous than that of other temples.

The official's residence was quiet, except for a few soldiers patrolling the area.

Xingyi sat cross-legged inside the cave, quietly cultivating her mind.

In just a few decades, Xingyi, who has awakened the bloodline of the sea dragon, has not only stepped into the sixth level of the realm, but also has surging immortal power and a solid foundation, and is not far from the seventh level of the realm.

Just as Xingyi was focused on her cultivation, five local officials—Lutan, Heiling, Taoyao, Hongxia, and Cui Baisong—came to pay their respects.

These five people were all loyal followers of Xingyi in the past.

After Xingyi was promoted to patrol officer, they also rose in rank and were successively appointed as local officials, in charge of the land around the patrol officer's residence.

Of course, with Xia Daoming's guidance back then, as well as the resources seized from forces such as Thousand-Foot Mountain, and the continuous support of incense offerings, the cultivation of the five people in Green Pool has also made rapid progress in recent years.

Apart from Cui Baisong, who is still a First-Level True Immortal, the other four have already reached the Second-Level Realm.

Seeing the five chieftains all looking worried, Xingyi frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the Black Hyena King has sent people to extort money again?"

"Your Excellency, that is indeed the case. We just presented a large amount of cultivation resources as tribute a few days ago, but less than a year later, he has sent people to demand more. If this continues, not only will our cultivation resources be stretched thin, but we will also be unable to pay our soldiers' salaries," Green Pool reported.

"This Black Hyena King is really too much! Not only does he plunder from all directions, but he also extorts money from us who are guarding the temple. It's one thing for the City God Pavilion to ignore it, but he even wants us to pay taxes according to regulations! It's a pity that Master Xia is not here, otherwise he would have captured him and skinned him alive!" Hongxia said angrily.

"The matter of Master Xia's absence from Yujian must not be revealed. Furthermore, he has mentored us, and we are currently limited in our abilities. It is one thing if we cannot help him solve his problems, but how can we expect to trouble him in every matter?"

Although the Black Hyena King is powerful and arrogant, he is ultimately only an eleventh-level True Immortal. If I am given two or three hundred years to reach a higher level, and join forces with the Crimson Fire Crow Mother, I might be able to suppress his arrogance.

"For now, let him be arrogant and try to meet his demands without conflict. As for the City God Pavilion, just pay lip service to them! Hmph, the City God has lost his edge since being injured in the last rebellion. He still wants to rely on my master to deal with this suddenly emerging Black Hyena King, so he doesn't dare to go too far." Xingyi's gaze swept over everyone as she calmly analyzed the situation.

"Is Your Excellency confident that you can reach the advanced level within two or three hundred years?" Green Pool and the others were all shocked.

"As long as there are sufficient resources to support me, I am confident!" Xingyi said confidently.

After the awakening of the Sea Dragon King's bloodline, Xingyi found herself as if she had been reborn, and her cultivation was as if divinely aided.

Many obscure and profound principles that were difficult to understand before can now be quickly and clearly comprehended by simply calming one's mind, as if one had already cultivated and comprehended them in a previous life, and now it is just a matter of retracing one's steps.

A strong physique can withstand the impact of consuming large amounts of elixirs and absorbing the immortal power from celestial stones.

"Excellent! In that case, we, your humble servants, will do everything in our power to prepare enough resources for you, my lord, to help you reach the advanced level as soon as possible!" Green Pool and the others exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.

"Good! Xingyi's Dao heart is firm and she is not swayed by dangerous and difficult environments. You are all commendable for your loyalty. You have not failed my cultivation and guidance in the past."

Before Green Pool and the others could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the main hall.

　That concludes today's update.
