Shangyuque

Chapter 385 Taihe Water "Brother, please!"

In response to the pretentious reply from the Wuji Dao Master, the Sun-Sinking Sea-Devouring God had three different perspectives and directions.

It may be just stubbornness, but the narrative logic of "my mortal enemy is the best, and the enemy is the best" seems absurd. However, leaders need victory and need to use victory to unite people's hearts and expectations.

Since the Lord of Wuji Dao cannot move, he can only define his own victory to solidify his allies.

However, there is another possibility: what the Wuji Dao Master sees as a 'broken piece' requires 'extraordinary merit' to solve.

The Wuji Dao Master could see the whole picture of the endgame, but he himself could not. The Wuji Dao Master did not want to say more, so he only responded in a perfunctory manner.

However, there is another possibility at a deeper level—the Dao Lord's state is just as Jade Palace Immortal Venerable guessed, purely an act.

Hiding one's sword and remaining still, sitting alone in eternal solitude—these are all the only choices made out of desperation.

In other words, the seemingly invincible Wuji Dao Master, who intimidated all the top Golden Core cultivators, was actually already in deep trouble.

Of course, this last guess is rather bold; if we were to actually send the sun to swallow the sea to test it, it wouldn't dare.

As for what the Dao Lord said, the Divine Venerable did not care that the path of sinking the sun and swallowing the sea had already narrowed.

"Master, you said that a special merit is needed to resolve this predicament."

However, the changes in the endless heavens have almost been taken over by you and us, the top Golden Core cultivators in this great world.

What kind of extraordinary achievement could possibly change to influence the outcome of the struggle for supremacy, thus qualifying it as a 'extraordinary achievement'?

This is why the Sun-Sinking Sea-Devouring God Venerable doubted the Dao Lord's sincerity.

These top-tier Golden Core cultivators reached the top level objectively through their strength and accumulated experience.

The Sun-Sinking Sea God was extremely certain that, from the perspective of cultivating change, seeking change, and playing the game of change, the changes in the endless heavens had been basically completely locked in.

The 'complete lock' here refers to the complete lock as seen by the Sun-Sinking Sea, a top-tier Golden Core cultivator—the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable does not consider it to be completely locked.

Of course, you could also say that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's realm is not high enough, because in this kind of ideological debate, there is no longer any concept or value in judging right or wrong.

The Immortal Venerable is on his way to the pinnacle of power and has even become deeply involved in the struggle for supremacy.

The sun sinking and the sea swallowing are also key figures who can easily influence the outcome of the struggle for supremacy and the final battle.

Cultivators at their level can determine truth and falsehood, right and wrong, and life and death.

With a single thought, endless hope, endless redemption, endless possibilities, endless death, and endless bloodshed arise, and all creation is redefined.

When a single thought ceases, change returns to stillness, conflict ends, the game concludes, and supremacy is established—all these are re-established in the course of creation.

Both positive and negative aspects can easily influence the final outcome.

Therefore, right and wrong are no longer important.

Even more insidiously, after the Sovereign emerges, he will redefine the moral order of all the heavens and myriad realms.

On that day, the living will be dead, the dead will be reborn, all the great principles will be reversed, and even the necessity of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the existence of individual beings will be erased, completely locking away all changes.

It can also reshape everything conceptually, and even transform all individuals who dare to question, be dissatisfied, or hate into eternal beings with endless happiness.

Or perhaps all concepts should be eliminated, leaving only what the sovereign desires.
For example, all living beings in the endless heavens simultaneously believe that they are donkeys, and the Supreme Being divides them into a preset realm of 'twenty-nine stages of donkey cultivation'—twenty-nine stages, climb them, they won't die from climbing.

When they finally achieve their goal of becoming the second Donkey Venerable, they discover that the actual Sovereign Donkey Venerable is a person—that would be truly amazing.

In short, for top cultivators who have reached the levels of Ascending Sun, Jade Palace, and Dao Master, anyone who still cares about right and wrong is bound to lose—it's too Tang Dynasty.

The value system that short-lived individuals construct in specific living environments is laughable when applied to top-tier cultivators.

'Look, you're testing me again, Shen Ri. I'll just have to make my move.'

However, not within the vast universe, but within the endless heavens.

Even the Dao Lord has a health bar. There is no true 'limitless', neither Bifang nor the Dao Lord.

Faced with increasing pressure from its allies, it ultimately compromised.

'To launch an attack across the endless heavens—is this a sign of weakness?'

The Sun-Sinking Sea-Devouring God quickly realized what was happening.

"Indeed."

The Lord of Wuji replied and then disappeared again, leaving only the God of the Sun-Sinking Sea in deep thought.

The Daoist Master of Wuji may not be Wuji, but his application of the strategy of illusion and reality is truly remarkable.

But the jade pendant has already been withdrawn from the endless heavens, so how can it make a move in the endless heavens now?

Does the Lord of Wuji have other people outside?

So, exactly how long ago did the Cave Heaven Technique appear?
The Sun-Sinking Sea couldn't figure out the answer. The Wuji Dao Master's actions were so perplexing that even his allies couldn't understand them, but in reality, his skill level was quite high.

Unable to fathom the Dao Lord's thoughts, Shen Ri could only relay the Dao Lord's attitude to Yong Ge.

That's about it. There's no perfect outcome, but it's still an outcome; at least they agreed to take action.

Furthermore, regarding Bi Fang and Yong Ge, the situation isn't as bad as we expected. The Dao Lord's assessment of Bi Fang is quite interesting.

After hearing the account from the Deity of the Sun-Sinking Sea, the Deity of Yongge sighed deeply.

How is this still playing?
In the game, judgments about the opponent are based on the opponent's past behavior—but top-level Golden Core cultivators not only disguise themselves, but also constantly break through their own limits, make progress, and surpass their own limits.

How could Bifang's Dao heart and core not improve for 100,000 years?

Moreover, the 'gods' inside the cave originally moved from the surface to the underground due to the harsh living environment.

If we infer from the perspective of behavioral response core, wouldn't that mean that neither the Sun-Sinking Sea-Eating God nor the Eternal Spear God are as worthless as Bifang as defined by the Wuji Dao Master?
But it didn't explain this idea to Chen Ri—it was pointless.

"As the sun sets, I always feel that once I reach this stage of cultivation, it's as if every step forward is like walking on cotton, unpredictable and uncertain."

"Our divine cave, our divine race, can't we find a way to achieve a situation where we neither gamble nor lose?"

Yongge was still clinging to his last illusions.

Final Fantasy, but not about cowardice, just desire.

If I had a few acres of land in my hometown, why would I need to wear the seals of six states?
There is no such thing as the strong forgiving the weak; you can't just give up if you can't win.

We've been in a dead end for a long time, Yongge.

We have no choice but to live or die.

Abandon illusions and prepare for battle.

'A struggle, hahaha, it's Bifang and the Dao Lord fighting, we're just consumables!'

'We must fight for it; to not fight is to truly surrender.'

The conversation between the two deities ended unhappily, but in the end, they began intensive preparations for war.

But what they didn't know was that whether Bifang could compete or whether Wuji Daozhu could compete wasn't something they could just decide on a whim.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable created an artificial barrier, blocking Bi Fang's path.
-

The red carp was getting a little restless during her cultivation, so the white carp gave her a pie with the promise of attaining the Golden Core, but attaining the Golden Core was certainly not easy.

It seems that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable now only deals with Golden Core cultivators, and the Golden Core cultivators under his command can be mass-produced.

In reality, even the golden cores created by the 'Magic Treasure Proving Golden Core Method' are selected from the best among a large number of peak Purple Mansion True Persons.

Is the red carp the best?
Yes, but she did receive the Golden Core Dao Fruit promised by Bai Li as Bai Li's younger sister.

Similar to Chu Ran and Bai Lu, who were by the side of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, their actual level was naturally not that high.

Having encountered difficulties in his cultivation, Red Carp was forced to awaken from his meditative state, only to see Dripping Water holding a command token with a solemn expression.

Judging from his eyes and brows, he seems to have encountered some trouble.
"elder sister?"

The white carp put away the command token, looked up and asked with a smile.

Have you hit a bottleneck?

"Yes, the 'Spiritual Beauty Heavenly Water Path' that I comprehended, although it is an acquired water-related Great Dao that you created, it combines the Spiritual Beauty Water Path and the Heavenly Water Path, so it is still quite difficult to comprehend."

I wanted to ask my sister for help, but sister, you seem to be in some trouble. Is it about the start of war?

It turns out that in the years since the Immortal Venerable left, Dripping Water has indeed been rapidly approaching the Golden Immortal level.

The ability to create one's own unique acquired path is what distinguishes many Golden Immortals from ordinary Celestial Immortals—not all Golden Immortals can create their own acquired path.

There has never been a clear standard for distinguishing between Golden Immortals and Celestial Immortals; it can only be said that everyone has their own algorithm and evaluation method.

"It's more than just trouble; it has nothing to do with starting a war."

"Drip of Water" responded with a smile and explained.

"I only learned a few years ago that the Five Realms Under One Sky Gathering was jointly established by many top Golden Core cultivators of the Winnowing Basket Society, and the controller is the Winnowing Basket Elder, while the other top Golden Core cultivators also have very high authority."

It is precisely because of the support of so many powerful figures that the Five Domains Under Heaven Gathering has flourished so much among great cultivators, and there are hardly any similar organizations that can challenge its position.

Logically, the Five Regions Gathering should have continued to flourish.

But today, the Demon Emperor issued a decree to the Golden Core cultivators of the Fourth Faction, and many counterfeit Five Domains Heavenly Books appeared throughout the world.

Those forged Five Realms Unified Heaven Books can be used even by Foundation Establishment cultivators; they connect to a false Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection.

The contents are very wrong, therefore, the Immortal Alliance needs to investigate this matter.

You've hit a roadblock, so go out and clear your head.

"And while you're at it, check how many people within the Eastern Pole Sect have obtained this counterfeit Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection."

The wind blows and blows, from minor repairs to major repairs, and finally, it has blown step by step into the Immortal Alliance.

From the Winnowing Basket Gathering to the Golden Core cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, everyone was swept up and moved by the strong wind.

"Sister, how am I supposed to investigate? I can't just search their storage bags and caves one by one, can I?"

The more Hongli listened, the more alarmed she became. A forged Five Realms Heavenly Book, a fake Five Realms Heavenly Collection. Wasn't this a slap in the face to those top-tier Golden Core cultivators?
Who would dare to be so audacious? It's truly, truly...
It is estimated that if the top-tier Golden Core cultivators capture that person, they will exterminate his entire clan (including his wife's sister) and reduce his bones to ashes.

"It's easy to find out. The model of the Five Domains of the Same Heavenly Book is actually very simple. It is to communicate with the Great Dao and connect the different Five Domains of the Same Heavenly Books with each other."

The Great Dao forms the network, and the Five Realms Unified Heaven Book serves as the foundation, connecting the Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection, which does not exist in the real world but is absolutely real.

The forged Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection must also follow this method. Investigate along this line of thought, and I will bestow the method upon you now.

The Golden Core stage is already a legend among legends, a level of super genius.

And Drip Water, who went from an ordinary celestial being to a golden immortal, truly lived up to his initial belief that "victory is mine alone."

Her level of cultivation and mastery of creation are undoubtedly extremely high, making it easy for her to acquire special and wondrous techniques.

It can be said that as long as one accumulates enough experience and finds the water in one's own path of cultivation, one might even become a goalkeeper similar to Cangshan in the future.

Don't laugh at Cangshan for having a hanging feather-shaped top. After all, a hanging feather-shaped top is still a "phoenix tail" among top-grade gold ornaments, which is definitely much more powerful than an ordinary chicken head.

Therefore, the fact that Xiaoyu has the opportunity to become another Cangshan in the future is not because she lacks talent, but because she is already quite extraordinary.

Of course, this future is very far in the future.

The ingenious method created by Dripping Water was not complicated. Red Carp grasped the key points after a little study. After all, she and Dripping Water practiced the same water method. With the same lineage, it was natural for them to cooperate and understand each other.

"This method isn't complicated; I've already mastered most of it. However, sister, if we investigate the forgery of the Five Realms Heavenly Book within the Eastern Pole Sect and find 'those people,' what should we do?"

Hongli's voice was low, her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes were looking at her toes.

She was testing her.
"Those people have been gone for a long time, and his subordinates were all hastily recruited, so their quality was uneven."

He even tries to get closer to Donglai and Niu Mo every now and then.

In previous years, they even went to Chongshan Thirteen Caves for a gathering.

Ah, Cui Baihao and Jinshan still haven't returned.

"Don't you think this is a bit absurd?"

The Water Immortal, who had already stood up, turned around and looked at his own Dharma image.

The Dharma image remained unchanged, with gentle eyes and brows. Bai Li glanced at it once and continued speaking.

"I can't manage them."

If I were to be too harsh, it would make me seem ungrateful and cruel.

If I use soft tactics, they'll think I won't dare to touch them.

I am Wang Yulou's Daoist partner, and Zhou Yingxi and Jin Mingdu are also Wang Yulou's Daoist partners.

"Hehe, how do you expect me to manage this?"

It's ridiculous.

But I can't control it.

You do it, understand?

"Sister, Xiaohong understands."

Red Carp left the Dripping Water Palace, believing she had grasped the meaning of Dripping Water—to intensify internal strife!
Drip, however, shook his head weakly.

She had no choice.

With the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable staying outside the Great Heaven and Earth for a long time, and constantly stirring up trouble at the level of the Basket Meeting, it is actually very, very difficult for a drop of water to come.

Her fellow cultivators within the Immortal Alliance regarded her as Bi Fang's disciple.

With Qingrui and Luosha joining forces, she seemed to have gained the support of both Qingrui and Luosha at once.

Are you too excited about winning?
joke!

She knew perfectly well that the relationship between disciples and factions was nothing more than mutual exploitation.

She fought for the Immortal Kingdom and made great contributions, thus attaining the Golden Core stage.

Furthermore, what she told Wang Yuque—that she was definitely not a spy—was also true.

She is just a climber on the path of spiritual practice.

Now that she has the strength of a Golden Immortal, she is unable to trust anyone.

Qingrui and Luosha joined forces for mutual benefit, and Bifang, likewise, only ever looked at self-interest.

Compared to these top-tier Golden Core cultivators, her fate as a mere floor tile-shaped Golden Immortal was like that of a drifting duckweed.

Not to mention, that troublesome man was of no help whatsoever, and even argued with Bi Fang at the Boluo Conference. Within the Immortal Alliance, he also killed Jing Lan, a subordinate of the Water Venerable.

It looks impressive, but it's actually quite risky.

He is outside the vast world, so he doesn't have to face these pressures directly.

Even a drop of water can fall within the vast天地 (heaven and earth).
There may be feelings between Bai Xiaoyu and Wang Yulou, but it is unlikely that there are only feelings between Di Shui Xian Zun and Yu Que Xian Zun.

The idea that absolute affection can exist between immortal beings brings the physiological and psychological needs of naked apes into the perspective of those who pursue the Dao.

This kind of thinking, similar to Yongge's fantasy of a peaceful life when the final battle could break out at any moment, is a manifestation of an uncontrollable desire.

It's not a problem for ordinary people to be unable to control their desires and cravings, but it is for those who pursue the Way to do so.

Therefore, Yongge so longed for peace, stability, and to avoid war, yet in the end he was still able to return to his own best practice path.

Therefore, Drip Water needs to gradually distance itself from Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, at least in terms of actions and behavior.

That way, the pressure on her will be less.

The choices made in this series of events were not even selfish—they were simply driven by the instinct to survive.
-

Yin was browsing through the contents of the replica of the Five Realms Under One Sky Collection, his heart completely numb.

“Master, the person behind this is definitely plotting something big. These contents seem ordinary, but they actually point to a test of the integration of the Great World.”

We must be wary of the people behind this, who seem to be trying to interfere with Bifang's efforts to unify the world. It's possible that the Wuji Dao Master is the one stirring up trouble.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the simultaneous appearance of these counterfeit versions of the Five Realms Heavenly Book within all the top powers.

The old Dharma King Wuding smiled mysteriously, his eyes fixed on the Four Extremes Concealment Platform, and only gave some pointers.

"Wrong, it's not the Dao Lord. Keep guessing."

Yin was lost in confusion, and he pondered tentatively.

"Could this be a smokescreen you, Master, have laid to force Bifang to speed up his actions and thus hasten the arrival of the final battle?"

Bo Luo glanced at Yin Zheng as if he were a complete idiot, thinking to himself that his resources had been wasted.

"Didn't you see I've been guarding this place for half a month?" Bo Luo pointed to the Four Extremes Concealment Platform.

Yin Zheng was taken aback and immediately realized that he had guessed wrong.

If it was arranged by the Dharma King of No Destiny, why would it be so vigilant?

So, who else could it be?

First, excluding those forces and Golden Core cultivators outside the Great World, those people could not have made such a big move while the top Golden Core cultivators were constantly watching the boundary of the Great World.

Secondly, we can rule out the Immortal Ancestor and the Wutian Sect. The Immortal Ancestor has three demands, the core of which is to reorganize the Wutian Sect and further improve its efficiency.

In addition, there is the formation of a "top-tier Golden Core Alliance in the waist region" to gain the qualification to rival Bifang and the Old Man of the Bamboo, and to obtain greater influence in the struggle for supremacy—even to prepare for the future battle against "Bamboo" after the deaths of Bifang and the Dao Master.

Finally, he joined forces with Bifang to unify the world and fight against the Wuji Dao Lord—Bifang was the most anxious about fighting the Wuji Dao Lord, while the Immortal Ancestor was not in a hurry.

“If it’s not Dao Lord, and it’s not you, then it must be Taihe Water. It’s very likely that it wants to keep stalling for time!” Yin Zheng’s eyes lit up.

"Hard to say," the old monk, Wudingfawang, continued to shake his head. Wanting to stall for time—from this perspective, too many people have a motive.

The struggle between the two Wuji for supremacy is not good for anyone outside of them.

What if someone wins?
Should we all kneel down and have a contest to see who can slam their fists on the floor the hardest?

Cultivation is about developing an extraordinary physical body for transcendence, not for smashing the floor!
Therefore, procrastination is the best strategy.

It would be best to delay until the newcomers are stronger before starting this final battle.

This is what people want, and it's not just Taihe Shui who thinks this way.

The information empowerment system that Lan Jin is promoting is essentially about empowering lower levels of the action to integrate the entire world. Although it is not explicitly stated, it points to the rules of distribution.

Changing the distribution rules means taking away the vested interests, and the vested interests in the cultivation world are all ridiculously powerful.

This process could drag on forever!

The entire fighting style can be said to have used skillful force and neutralizing force to the extreme, starting from the foundation of the Great Heaven and Earth, and the secret is too subtle.

Therefore, even the Dharma King Wuding couldn't find out who it was for a while, and could only sit in front of the Four Extremes Concealment Platform and observe silently.

"Go, there might be others in Boluo Mountain who have come into contact with this thing as well."

We need to investigate thoroughly to find any clues.

As a powerful figure in the Great World, the Old Man of the Basket Mountain monopolizes the entire second-tier power, the Basket Mountain.

"These are turbulent times, but Master, in the process of Bifang integrating the world, it is actually possible to further empower those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, right?" Yin Zheng asked.

The winnowing basket didn't look up, but instead asked a question.

"What makes you think that the person behind the scenes only wants the Foundation Establishment cultivators to open their Purple Mansions?"

Yin Zheng was stunned for a moment. Yes, for Foundation Establishment cultivators, opening the Purple Mansion is just the beginning.

Once this door is opened, the next step will be for the Purple Mansions to demand more opportunities to attain the Golden Core stage.
After establishing the foundation and opening the Purple Palace, the Purple Palace demands a fairer and more numerous opportunity to attain the Golden Core stage. The next step might be for a Celestial Immortal to demand becoming a Golden Immortal.
Of course, Golden Immortals would never dare to aspire to become top-tier Golden Core cultivators; that much is certain.

After pondering the complexities involved, Yin Zheng left the Bo Luo Cave and began investigating the counterfeit Five Realms Heavenly Book within Bo Luo Mountain.

All I can say is that Yin Zheng was naive.

He lacked a concept in his mind—the concept of resistance, questioning, and proactively seeking change.

This is what happens when you suck on an old man's pacifier for a long time.

It seems that Yin Zheng is also a middle-aged man, but in fact, he has never grown up.

Therefore, the Wuji Dao Master's judgment of Bifang was not actually that far-fetched.
-

On this day, the Water Venerable was cultivating within the cave.

Suddenly, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable shook the Heavenly Water Path that the two of them jointly controlled.

'Why aren't you staying put in your Four Spirit Realms?'

The Water Venerable frowned deeply; it was truly disgusted with Wang Yulou.

While he was forced to go to the battlefield, Wang Yulou, who was hiding in the Four Spirit Realms, was completely unharmed.

Your complacency disgusts me!
"Water Venerable, do you want to postpone the war with the Demon Cave? Do you want to renegotiate the price with Bifang? Do you want Fellow Daoist Jinguyuan to achieve the top-level Golden Core?" Jade Palace Immortal Venerable asked.

Shui Zun felt even more disgusted—what makes you think you can take advantage of me, Taihe Shui?

Why don't you take a look at what you're saying?

Do you think I'm a complete idiot?
Yes, I was bullied and humiliated.

Yes, I was forced to use my top-tier Golden Core strength as a price.

Yes, I lost horribly. I was subjected to team building activities at the Boluo Conference, and Qingrui and Luosha used underhanded tactics against me within the Immortal Alliance.

Yes, I put in all my effort for nothing, only receiving some small, inexpensive compensation, without gaining any real advantage.

But what makes you, Wang Yulou, think you can easily take advantage of me?
Damn it, the bait you used was so crude. What do you take me for?

'Wang Yulou, I'm warning you, stop keeping me in suspense.'

I really hate you, you son of a bitch.

Realizing that the Water Lord was losing his composure, Little King of the Four Spirit Realms laughed heartily.

Oh, Taihe Water, it's been a few days, and you've gotten diarrhea!

Thinking about it, Taihe Water really is in a terrible state.

It's true what they say: you can sit in Huzhou and suddenly become the victim of a crime.

While cultivating my spiritual practice, I can even fantasize about 'Even Bifang wouldn't dare to touch me.'

Hey, suddenly, I was surrounded by a group of people, and I ended up with a bruised and swollen face from the team building activity.

I just finished a team-building activity, and now I have to fight for those old bastards.

Finally, I have to say 'thank you' to those old bastards at the winnowing basket meeting.

Otherwise, I worry that those old bastards won't support it.

The whole process was truly difficult to manage.

Of course, this does not mean that the Water Venerable is 'outdated,' 'inherently weak,' or 'suddenly lost its prestige.'

In reality, if you put anyone in the position of the Water Venerable, facing the pressure from Bifang, the Old Man of the Basket, the Immortal Ancestor, and numerous top-tier Golden Core cultivators, they would all have to bow their heads and say thank you.

Some situations are truly 'not due to the fault of war'.

'Haha, you won't feel disgusted anymore after I tell you this.'

"Just say it, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."

'You've seen the counterfeit versions of the Five Realms Unified Heaven Book and the Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection, haven't you?'

Just one sentence is enough to refresh and invigorate someone.

The cultivation of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has indeed reached a state of ultimate freedom and ease.

The Immortal Venerable can easily grasp those relative, absolute, objective, one-sided, subtle, mysterious, and unquantifiable details of the game.

Without it, just familiarity with your hands.

After cultivating for over a thousand years, the Immortal Venerable achieved the position of Golden Immortal. It seems fast, but it was still quite old.

'This can't possibly be related to you, can it? You're in the Four Spirit Realms; how could you possibly interfere with the affairs of the greater world?'

The Water Venerable has truly regained his senses and is no longer nauseous. He only hopes to find out as soon as possible what the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is trying to keep secret.

'Lan Jin is at odds with the Immortal Ancestor. It can't stand that the Immortal Ancestor, along with a group of top-tier Golden Core cultivators, bullies you together with Bi Fang Immortal King and the Winnowing Basket Elder.'

Therefore, at my suggestion, the Blue Forbidden Dragon God intervened, creating this small disturbance to test the hearts of people throughout the world.

The Water God's eyes shone brightly; it had already entered overclocking mode, just like the Blue Forbidden Dragon God.

The overclocking state of the Water Venerable, who is in harmony with the water and possesses the golden light of divine illumination, is no less than that of the Blue Forbidden Dragon God, and may even be stronger. After all, the Water Venerable is an existence with extremely high attainments in both divine illumination and Dharma form.

In fact, we can see a lot from the caution and 'attention' that Lan Jinlong God and Taihe Water Venerable showed when facing Yuque Immortal Venerable.

A cultivator's strength is not determined solely by the length of their lifespan.

Every cultivator who reaches the pinnacle of the path possesses their own unique characteristics.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, in a relatively short period of cultivation compared to the old monks, has accumulated experience, vision, and strength, which, combined with his own innate talents, have propelled him to an extremely high level.

Lan Jin glanced sideways, and Shui Zun felt like vomiting. It seemed that the feedback of 'disgust' was not dignified, but the very qualification that could make Shui Zun feel disgusted was very valuable.

Even if you say that the Donkey King is just a donkey dung that has become a spirit, and is purely disgusting, then a donkey dung that can disgust the Water Lord certainly cannot be considered an ordinary donkey dung.

"You mentioned three things: postponing the start of the war, renegotiating the price, and making Jingu Garden the top gold mine."
To me, none of these three things seem like they can be achieved directly using that forged Five Realms Heavenly Book, right?

The Jade Palace Immortal did not answer directly, but instead steered the conversation to the level of discussing the Dao.

Water is like the tide of people's hearts, moving with the tide.

Tell me, does the tide rise before the people's hearts, or do the people's hearts shape the tide?

He wants to manipulate public opinion to create the right situation.
Shui Zun pondered for a moment, then replied.

"The prevailing trend can influence people's hearts, and when people's hearts are strong enough, they can influence the trend itself."

Change is the only constant; therefore, there is no fixed nature.

It depends on who specifically harbors these sentiments and whose interests are influenced by the prevailing circumstances.

Upon hearing this answer, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable felt a chill in his heart.

They were discussing the Dao in the struggle for supremacy. Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's judgment was also sufficient, and he certainly understood that Water Venerable was not talking nonsense and was telling the truth.

All I can say is that none of the top-tier Golden Core cultivators are fools.

The high level of skill demonstrated by the water vessel is evident from this.

When facing opponents with the most realistic practical ideas, there is absolutely no room for illusion.

In my opinion, people's hearts always flow against the current; once they reach a higher level, they want to reach an even higher level.

Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage aspire to the Purple Mansion; those who have reached the Purple Mansion aspire to attain the Dao; and those who are Celestial Immortals aspire to add the Golden rank.

Jingu Garden aspires to become a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

But in this vast world, there are more than just one powerful Golden Immortal from Golden Valley Garden. What do you think, fellow Daoist?

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable revealed his true intentions, and the Supreme Harmony Water Venerable instantly changed color.

"Expanding the top tier? You really dare to dream, Wang Yulou, Wang Yulou, you really dare to dream."

'I am outside the vast world, and I am not afraid of being suppressed.'

There are a bunch of celestial immortals and golden immortals on the Immortal Alliance's platform. Our laws are here, and if you give everyone a chance, they will support you.

Taihe Waterway Fellow, why not give it a try with me and Lan Jin?

This opportunity lies not only in renegotiating prices, delaying the process, and increasing the maximum allowable price.

We can also transform the counterfeit versions of the Five Realms Unified Heaven Book and the Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection into another existence similar to the Five Realms Unified Heaven Collection.

"That means you've won many times." Jade Palace Immortal Venerable continued to persuade.

It all sounds reasonable, however, Water God is not a fool.

That's still not right. What you should do now is to remain calm and do nothing.

You've managed things very well in the Four Spirit Realms; the empty title of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator has no real meaning for you.

Interfering with the Immortal Alliance and the Great Heaven and Earth, or helping me, will not bring you any immediate benefits.

Even if you are ambitious, you shouldn't be in such a hurry.

Wang Yulou, who exactly are you?

Taihe's judgment is actually not wrong; it's just a matter of different dimensions.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable sees a further dimension, where he can access even more possibilities.

From the perspective of Taihe Water, there was absolutely no need for Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to take any risks.

Given Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's level, he is bound to win.

An expanded, empty title is of little significance.

On the contrary, this behavior of actively interfering with the Great Heaven and Earth, actively interfering with the confrontation between the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being, and interfering with Bifang's attempt to integrate the Great Heaven and Earth seems quite suspicious.

Taihe Shui has always harbored a distrust of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, Rakshasa, and Qingrui.

Rakshasa and Qingrui proved through their actions that Shui Zun's distrust was justified.

Now, it's the turn of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

You meant well, but your good intentions were wrong!
At least, not quite right!
This is the restraint and forbearance of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

Are you eager?
I long for it.

But we can't just accept any opportunity that comes our way; what if they're poisoned?
patience!
Jade Palace Immortal Venerable realized that the motive that originated when Taihe Shui investigated him had not been eliminated even now.

He pondered for a moment, then replied.

If the struggle for supremacy has been gradually approaching its end after the long period of time when the Lord of Limitless Dao chose to sever his tail and lie low, then it is accelerating.

Therefore, whether the decisive battle takes place outside the great world or within the great world, neither is necessarily the right thing to do.

The fact that the Wuji Dao Master kept his sword hidden and motionless was the greatest deterrent.

The jade pendant remained hidden in the Four Spirit Realms, which also intimidated me.

Later, I realized that new changes were needed to break the deadlock.

Thus, the Zhenxu Xuntian Palace came into being.

Regardless of their strategies, we must create more change.

Don't let yourself be led by the nose!

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable did not explain why he was in such a hurry, nor did he explain who he was—none of that mattered.

Moreover, there's not much to explain.

He's ambitious!

He is determined to be the only one who is supreme!
Therefore, he could not tolerate sitting idly by and watching the world situation change without being able to participate.

To get involved, to get on board, to participate, to take responsibility, and to proactively seek change!

As for who I am?

Whatever Shui Zun thinks it is, that's what it is.

I, the Venerable Water Immortal of the Jade Palace of the Eastern Pole, have no need to prove myself to you, nor are you qualified to demand that I prove myself!
The Immortal Venerable is indeed on the path to the other shore, and his vision has indeed reached the highest level.

In other words, we must inject new changes into this game of chess that was pre-set by the Master of Wuji.

Therefore, the integration of the universe cannot be done too gently, or it would be a joke.

We must produce tangible results and unite the power of heaven and earth.

Taihe Shui didn't speak; he was thinking.

Jade Palace Immortal's nonsense sounds high-sounding, but in reality, Bifang does exactly that.

However, Bifang's strategy is to integrate first and then streamline – get it running first.

Run, crush the divine cave, divide the incremental gains, and then it will be easier to sort things out.

There's actually nothing wrong with this model.

It may seem unwise, but in a confrontation of this intensity, who would dare to use any risky strategies?
Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's strategy was different; the Immortal Venerable designed a model of 'determining the route first and then initiating'.

Instead of expecting incremental resources and benefits from the objective level, they manipulate the rules for distributing benefits, thereby integrating the power of the universe ahead of time through the seemingly absurd method of "expanding the top-tier system".

Is it adventurous?
Actually, no, because this aligns with the human heart, which flows against the current, and also with the general trend of the integration of heaven and earth.

There are two options, neither is better or worse.

Even in Bi Fang's view, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable might simply be doing something malicious.

But, well, if everyone looks out for themselves, they'll be doomed.

Shui Zun pondered for a long time before offering his reminder.

'Jade Pavilion, even the top-tier Golden Core cultivators will object, and so will the Immortal Ancestors.'

All I can say is that Taihe Shui understands things too well—he bypassed Bifang.

Bi Fang is in the most urgent need!
Bifang doesn't object!

As for the others, let them object.

Either don't play at all, or play according to the rules I designed.

Taihe Shuizun remained silent for a moment, but even across the endless void, he could feel the soaring ambition of Yuque Xianzun at this moment.

Another opponent has emerged. I shouldn't have given him my water magic in the first place.

Previously, the Water Venerable thought that if the Immortal Venerable died in the Four Spirit Realms, then the Water Law would be given to him.

If the Immortal Venerable does not die in the Four Spirit Realms, then that is his best 'energy replenishment pack'.

Looking at it now.
'Yu Lou, the situation within the Great World has been incredibly complex these past few years, and I've been feeling extremely frustrated. Today...'

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. It's normal for misunderstandings to arise occasionally, given our mutual assistance."

Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist.

Taihe Shuizun's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth.

'Brother, please!'
