Chapter 391 The Three Kings' Discussion, Bi Fang's Grand Strategy! (1.25 views, requesting monthly votes)
The old man with the winnowing basket was incredibly kind, but the Jade Palace Immortal was not surprised.

Why not try to win over the real person?

Is there anything about me that makes me unworthy of being courted?

Of course I deserve it.

Not everyone is like Rakshasa and Qingrui.

Regardless of whether the expansion of the Golden Core realm is successful, the top Golden Core cultivators at the Basket Gathering will not necessarily become enemies with the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

As for why the conflict between Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and Rakshasa and Qingrui seems so serious, that is a complex systemic problem (I won't go into details, otherwise I feel like I could 'pad' this with 5,000 words, hahaha).

"Fellow Daoist Boluo, forget about being a super genius."

I am just an ordinary monk, nothing special.

Today marks my third time standing on the platform of the Bamboo Grove Assembly.

I still vividly remember the scene when I first came here.

"Immortal Venerable Jade Palace said with some emotion."

The process of spiritual practice is too complex, and the gains often manifest in many different dimensions.

After wandering the world of cultivation for a long time, he finally, finally, stood on the Boluo Conference's Dao Discussion Platform again, relying on his own strength.

This is certainly an achievement, an extraordinary achievement.

The cultivators here don't like to act recklessly; the stronger they are, the less likely they are to make a move.

The Bamboo Basket Gathering is the stage for top-tier Golden Core cultivators.

For a long time, within the vast universe, cultivators understood the top-tier Golden Core as 'that which can be entered into the Winnowing Basket Gathering is the top-tier Golden Core'.

It can be said that, before the expansion of the top-tier Golden Core was successfully completed, the driving force behind this wave, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, had already become the top-tier Golden Core under the old order.

Or rather, they gained the recognition and respect of top-tier Golden Core cultivators.

However, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable remained cautious and did not become overly complacent.

There is an invisible barrier between true strength and false prosperity, but it can see it clearly. It can see that its true strength and room for development are not yet sufficient to support the honor of a top-level Golden Core cultivator.

The true strength here refers to both the absolute strength of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and the strength of his influence, as well as the extent to which he has mastered change and the Great Dao.

The development space here is a more unique dimension—not the same as the development space of the old top-tier cultivators, but the future development space belonging to the individual cultivation path of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Learning from the old masters will not yield any results. The things they relied on to attain enlightenment have already been controlled by them. Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can only seek innovation and change in order to expand his future development space.

Then, in the most superficial top-tier competition, they stood firm by saying "I still have a future".

Only then can the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable truly achieve the pinnacle of power.

While current strength is certainly important, everyone here is a cultivator who has fought their way out of the 'unresolved' conflict, so naturally they will pay attention to the future of their allies and rivals.

Therefore, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable must not only ensure that he does not fail in the present, but also strive to make himself appear unlikely to fail in the relatively shallow, predictable, and not-too-distant future.

In short, the Golden Peak is not yet fully successful, and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable still needs to work hard.

"Yes, when you first came, I was surprised that Fellow Daoist Qingrui brought a Foundation Establishment cultivator with her."

Looking back now, Yu Lou, Fellow Daoist Qing Rui truly had discerning eyes; she recognized your extraordinary talent early on.

Bo Luo smiled and praised Jade Palace Immortal Venerable again, which made Jade Palace Immortal Venerable even more wary.

You're bringing up the story of how Qingrui discovered me, you must have ulterior motives, right?
What happened back then is now, and Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and Azure Bud Immortal Venerable are on the verge of a full-scale confrontation.

Although they were colleagues within the Immortal Alliance, the feud between them was so deep that it was impossible to untangle or resolve.

"Yes, I certainly admire Fellow Daoist Qingrui, but she still has some misunderstandings about me."

The Jade Palace Immortal replied calmly, "One doesn't hit a smiling face. Since the winnowing basket didn't dig a pit on purpose, it should naturally go along with the winnowing basket's wishes and try to respect it as much as possible."

After all, the Winnowing Basket Association is a Winnowing Basket Association, and the Winnowing Basket Association is an organization of Winnowing Basket.

Bi Fang is the number one being in the entire universe, so the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can point at Bi Fang's nose and humiliate him to death.

But Bo Luo wasn't the first, so the Immortal Venerable didn't dare to point his finger at Bo Luo and curse him indiscriminately.

"Yu Lou, don't get your hopes up. Bo Luo never makes a statement; he just pretends to be a nice guy. He might genuinely want to win you over, but his superficial warmth is also genuine."

Just as Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was exchanging a few words with Bo Luo, the window guidance from Taihe Water arrived.

It's hard to say whether this was luck or not, but Taihe Shui's words certainly extinguished the glimmer of hope that had just risen in Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's heart.

In fact, for many years, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had not encountered any good elders.

The higher you go, the more you have to rely on yourself. The people you meet are not human, and even the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is not human.

Was Taihe Water's reminder well-intentioned?

No, Taihe Water only wants to control Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

but.
"Don't worry, I know why I'm here."

After dancing with beasts for so long, even the immortal venerable gradually became inhuman.

The concept of social interaction in common parlance has been gradually and subtly eliminated from the lives and cultivation of immortals.

It has become a top-tier elixir that is closer to the Dao and closer to the other shore.

"You say I misunderstood you? I wouldn't dare to do that, Wang Yuque. You're good at pretending, but your ambition can't be hidden."

Everyone here knows what you're thinking, what you've done in the past, and what your goals are.

Stop talking nonsense, Taihe Water. You didn't bring it up just to cause us trouble, did you?

Qingrui Immortal Venerable spoke without any mercy, shattering the brief moment of warmth that had just occurred at the winnowing basket gathering.

There is no affection among those who pursue the Dao. It is about becoming the supreme one. The essence of the top Golden Core cultivators is that they all have big appetites and want to devour everything except themselves.

Having cultivated to this point, one has completely transformed into a footless bird that cannot retreat.

Aside from the other shore, their only remaining destiny is death.

"Oh, so what am I thinking about?" Jade Palace Immortal asked with a smile, seemingly very interested in the answer.

"You never respect the rules, you don't respect the strong, and you don't respect heaven and earth. You lack something that all living beings in this world have—reverence."

Mangxiang supported your Wang family for many years, and supported you for many years, but in the end you took everything from Mangxiang.

The Immortal Alliance is a place to nurture you, but your only understanding of the Immortal Alliance is that it can be your assistant.

I gave you so much support, but you never thought of repaying me. Instead, you would turn on me whenever you had the chance.

Wang Yuque, do you think this time will be the same as before?

Do you think you can achieve success by taking advantage of the prevailing trend and popular sentiment with just a little effort?

Stop dreaming. We are not a reckless elephant, nor are we a complex organization. We are simply ourselves.

If even one person opposes the expansion of the prime lending facility at the meeting, the expansion cannot be implemented!

"Don't you agree, fellow Daoist Boluo?"

The Immortal Venerable didn't really take Qingrui's nonsense to heart.

He certainly didn't respect those old things or old rules.

The essence of those things is deception and control, exploitation and extraction; what other purpose could they possibly have?
Mangxiang and Qingrui were certainly kind to him, but the debt they owed to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was as immeasurable as those favors.

Therefore, it's meaningless.

In the Immortal Venerable's judgment, Qingrui's anger stemmed from her fear of gradually losing control of herself and even being overtaken.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable only cared about how much of Qingrui's proposal to "veto the expansion of the top-tier gold" was true.

This seems like nonsense, because if the top sponsor doesn't participate, then opposition is ineffective.

But Qingrui's question about the old man with the winnowing basket was somewhat alarming.

After all, the old man with the winnowing basket is the organizer of the Winnowing Basket Association, which is quite influential.

"That's not necessary. I think we should set it at half. If half of them object, we should completely halt the expansion attempt."

But if the number of opponents is less than half, I will allow Yu Que Xiao You and Tai He Shui, among others, to begin overseeing the expansion of the Great Heaven and Earth Top Gold quota.”

The old man with the winnowing basket had neither a stance nor an attitude.

The Dharma King without fixed form needs to lie low, therefore, he must be cautious about getting involved in conflicts.

The half-quota it set couldn't be clearer that it expressed its "I don't want to get deeply involved" attitude.

But this behavior is also consistent with the character of Bifang – in the struggle between the infinite and the infinite, when something happens, Bifang takes the lead.

"Fellow Daoist Qingrui, I know you oppose the expansion of the Top Gold level, especially my expansion to become a Top Gold level, but Dongluoche is not wrong in fact."

If you want a veto system, if you want to stop me, then you can just take action.

They expect to get the results they desire without taking any action, and if they don't get them, they call me a scoundrel.

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Qingrui, you are, after all, a top-tier Golden Core cultivator; you can't be so smug."

As soon as the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable uttered these words, everyone turned their heads.

Putting aside the nonsense, the core message is 'I'm not going to pretend anymore, I'm going to be the best.'

Shui Zun smiled helplessly—"You're getting a little impatient, Xiao Wang."

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was deliberately testing him, but clearly, the result of the test did not satisfy him.

“Bifang, do you think it’s worthy of the title?” Rakshasa looked at Bifang.

Qingrui's attempt to pressure the winnowing basket failed, so now it's Luosha's turn to pressure Bifang.

The former's pressure is a 'perfect performance,' while the latter's pressure is genuine.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's relationship with these two adulterers is purely one of hatred; his relationship with Qingrui is a result of past karma; and his relationship with Rakshasa is a future entanglement—all are purely based on hatred.

"What do you mean by 'worthy' or 'unworthy'? Top-tier Golden Core is just a title. My meaning has never changed."

If expanding the number of cultivators to the highest level can promote the integration of the world, then I am willing to let all cultivators become top-tier cultivators.

So let's change the name. From now on, Qi Refining stage cultivators will be called Top-Tier Golden Core cultivators.

Cultivation begins at the first level of the top-tier Golden Core stage and ends at the eighty-eighth level. Everyone is at the peak of the Golden Core stage then, all cultivators are at the peak of the Golden Core stage, hahaha.

Bi Fang pulled a few shots, but still showed no intention of immediately entering the fray.

It's not that the winnowing basket and the Bifang bag are afraid of it, nor is it that they are afraid of it; it's just that they've always been this way.

Getting involved and thrown into the fray so easily might just lead to you accidentally getting yourself into trouble one day.
patience!
"Alright, stop arguing, Yulou, tell me your specific ideas."

I invited you here today at the request of fellow Daoists such as King Deding and King Zaonan.

They are all old cultivators who have attained enlightenment within the vast universe. If you cannot produce something truly substantial, they will not be able to support you.” Water Venerable refocused the increasingly scattered topic and also gave Jade Palace Immortal Venerable a reminder.

Outside of the Immortal Alliance, opposition to the expansion of the Top Gold tier is even more difficult to deal with than opposition within the Immortal Alliance itself.

Luosha, Qingrui, and Cangshan opposed it, but they were still suppressed to some extent by Qunxiantai.

However, the problem of the outer peak gold is beyond the scope of the Sendai level.

However, if the expansion of the top-tier server only occurs within the Immortal Alliance, then it certainly cannot be expanded within the Immortal Alliance.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable shook his head; he did not believe that such an absolute struggle for interests could be resolved through mere persuasion.

However, when Shui Zun pressured Luo Sha and Qing Rui through Jin Gu Yuan, Li Xian, and others, and Lan Jin further released the new Five Domains Heavenly Book into the Great Heaven and Earth, the situation gradually intensified, and it was indeed necessary to have a good talk.

“I have a question.

Fellow Daoists, it's still uncertain when the battle for supremacy between Wuji and Wuji will end.

So, are our current plans and strategies focused on the struggle for Wuji, or on the era after the struggle for Wuji?

From my observation, many fellow Daoists are acting with their eyes on the situation after the Wuji War.

This includes preventing the expansion of the top-tier system, and even going so far as to wage a civil war within the larger system after drastic measures.

But if the power of the universe cannot be integrated, and the Lord of Limitless Dao wins the battle of the Limitless, then we will have no future.

Perhaps Yu Lou's cultivation level is insufficient to perceive the changes; I humbly request that fellow Daoists enlighten me.
-

In the fairyland of Zaonan, Jia Dongwei, De Dingwang, and Zaonanwang sat together.

"Wang Yulou, Wang Yulou, Qingrui and Luosha both said that it is not Wang Yulou, but someone else's Dao embryo or clone."

The lack of reverence, the constant lack of reverence, corresponds to the possibility that he himself is a being of great power.

Fellow Daoist Dongwei, Brother Zaonan, what do you think?

King Deding was clearly a follower of the "Jade Palace is not Jade Palace" faction.

At present, with the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable vigorously promoting and attempting to expand the top gold, the number of believers in the theory of 'Jade Palace is not Jade Palace' is increasing.

It's not that they're stupid; it's simply that an individual's understanding of the objective world must follow the logic of true cognition.

Guided by a genuine individual epistemology, top cultivators who are also top-tier Golden Core cultivators find it hard to accept that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, who has reached this point in less than two thousand years, did so purely through his own efforts.

That would be a horror story.

As New York City grows stronger, the old New York City team's efficiency becomes increasingly embarrassing in comparison.
Since people can't accept their own incompetence, they can only believe that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable shouldn't be so 'capable'.

"Yes, I think so too. Didn't that guy say that when Wang Yuque was still a minor cultivator, he was able to break free from the control of the divine light during the Qi Refining stage?"

From this perspective, it was not simple from the beginning.

Later, in the Western Sea, Qingrui and Bifang tricked him into carrying out a "cleansing of the poisonous influence of the Divine Light." As a result, he not only did not kill anyone, but also turned those people into the base of his rise within the Red Lantern Gang.

My research on Wang Yuque has led me to the conclusion that all his later achievements began with turning those "poisonous influences" into his own base.

This move is courageous and unconventional; it's not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could come up with.

Jia Dongwei analyzed that the "someone" it mentioned was actually Cangshan.

The fact that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable could break free from the control of divine light during the Qi Refining stage was told to King Zaonan by Cangshan, who later shared it with King Deding and King Jialing Jiadongwei.

"That's a bit far-fetched. In the cultivation world, there's actually only one type of cultivator: those who know that cultivation is not achieved by relying on other people's methods or existing rules and order."

These people are the ones who pursue the Way; what difference is there between them and the dust and mud?

Wang Yuque went from serving in the Western Sea to leading the Red Lanterns on the front lines of the war.

He completed the transformation from a cultivator to a Dao seeker early on.

They went from being subjugated by the rules to becoming seekers who began to utilize and approach the rules.

As a result, its cultivation speed began to accelerate.

All of this has its reasons.

I don't believe it must be someone's reincarnation, incarnation, or spiritual entity.

King Zaonan shook his head, preferring to believe that the Jade Palace Immortal had risen to power on his own merits.

If Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is a pawn of someone, then weren't Bifang, Qingrui, and Water Venerable all played?
It's common for Qingrui to be tricked.

It's strange that the water vessel was tricked.

Bi Fang has been tricked for so many years. Recently, only the Daoist Master Wuji managed to ambush Bi Fang and succeeded.

"What are the chances that he isn't?" Jia Dongwei asked the King of Zaonan.

After pondering for a moment, the King of Zaonan gave an estimated figure.

"Eighty percent of the time, the cultivation world of the Great Heaven and Earth is the most prosperous cultivation world among all the endless heavens."

Most of the top-tier and second-tier forces in the world have developed to the extreme of efficiency within their established patterns.

The Immortal Alliance is the most outstanding among them.

The achievements of the Immortal Alliance did not arise out of thin air, but were the inevitable result of the development, confrontation, and evolution of contradictions in the Great World and the surrounding area of ​​Qunqing Plain over many years, as well as the complex situation within Qunqing Plain itself.

Cultivating within the most successful cultivation force in the most prosperous cultivation world, Wang Yuque, after leveraging the advantages of the Immortal Alliance's model and development, was fortunate enough to catch the window of opportunity that spanned the past two thousand years.

So, with the help of a favorable wind, he soared to great heights.

Wang Yuque's success, rather than proving that 'it is not Wang Yuque', proves the prosperity and success of our great world of cultivation.

We need to look at the changes of today from a new perspective. Wang Yuque's success is not special. If I were in his position, as long as luck remained the same, I would most likely achieve the same success as him.

In fact, if I had swapped places with him while retaining my memories, I might have achieved even more extraordinary things than him.

Why else would King Zaonan be one of the three kings of Bifangbi?
Their judgment and cognitive level are indeed excellent, far beyond what we can imagine.

But King Deding is in a bit of a bind, because in King Zaonan's value judgment system, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

King Deding showed a tendency to accept the theory that "the Jade Palace is not the Jade Palace"—which conflicted with King Zaonan's value judgment.

But clearly, the King of Zaonan's logic is sound.

Thus, the relative type of sabbey emerged.
We just talked about some trivial matters, and suddenly I, the King of Deding, have become an idiot.

This is actually terrifying, no, extremely terrifying.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the three of them are now sitting across from each other drinking; they are still 'colleagues' who helped Bi Fang with the wall.

But in reality, the three are also competitors—Dingjin is not human at all; they have abandoned the concepts of human reason and emotion.

Therefore, at this moment, King Deding truly exposed his 'shortcomings' simply because he said a few more words and asked a few more questions.

It's terrifying.

How to do?
What should De Dingwang do?
"That's wrong!"

De Dingwang smiled calmly, his voice still unhurried, maintaining his rather sophisticated demeanor.

But only De Ding Wang himself knows how anxious he really is.

“There are many traces in Wang Yuque’s past experiences, but there is one thing that cannot be explained.”

As he spoke, King Deding calmly took a sip of tea.

"Which point?" Jia Dongwei asked, seeing that King Deding was keeping him in suspense.

Dead brain, think fast!

Why keep us in suspense?

Because it doesn't know either—it doesn't know which of the many suspicious points about Wang Yuque is the most questionable, and which can be considered 'problematic' from the powerful, almost omniscient perspective of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

I need to think about it.

King Deding's brain was working at lightning speed. Because of a small failure, he had to do everything in his power to prevent himself from being marked as a coward by King Zaonan.

Fortunately, De Dingwang is a true master, and he has the skill. With just a little thought, he can find details and problems everywhere.

"It's very simple. Why would he choose to help the series of people who helped him before, such as Drip Water, Green Bud, and Rakshasa?"

Furthermore, was the idea of ​​expanding the top tier of the roster really only proposed by Wang Yuque?

If we analyze the hidden aspects from the perspective of 'setting up a target – shooting at the target – reducing resistance,' wouldn't the situation become clearer?

I, King Deding, am truly a genius!

How am I so smart?

Wait, why do they both look so serious?

Could I have guessed right?

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Deding, you're right. I really hadn't thought of that."

Considering the past grudges between Qingrui and Wang Yuque, and the inevitable new enmity between Luosha and Wang Yuque in the future, their focused efforts to tear Wang Yuque apart seem perfectly reasonable.

However, the operation of the three-way relay of 'Drip Water - Green Bud and the Mighty Elephant supported by Green Bud - Rakshasa' to get Wang Yuque to where he is today is indeed very problematic.

Considering Qingrui and Luosha's current frantic attack on Wang Yuque... *hiss*

King Zaonan's expression was extremely solemn, and his gaze toward his colleague, King Deding, was filled with vigilance.

You old codger, you've been secretly making progress behind my back lately.

King Deding's quick wit led to an absurd outcome.

Its failure was due to the relative brilliance of the King of Zaonan, and its predicament was due to the fear of being labeled as cowardly—it was not cowardly, but if it was identified as cowardly, and people entangled it in the view that it was a flawed egg, the situation would be quite difficult to maintain.

However, its quick wit led the King of Zao Nan to believe that it had undergone a 'second development,' and it was marked as something that needed to be treated with greater vigilance.

It's hard to say whether it's a success or a failure, but at least we don't have to worry about starting the 'relatively stupid, rare treasure judgment progress bar' here with Zaonan King.

"Listen, Qingrui applies pressure to the winnowing basket, and Luosha applies pressure to Bifang."

Haha, interesting, these two are really interesting.

Bo Luo clearly didn't want to participate, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nice to Wang Yu Que in the first place.

Previously, when the plan to expand the top-tier gold mine was first discussed at the Boluo meeting, Boluo remained quite calm.

Bi Fang, aside from not being able to genuinely support it, is completely aligned with Dingjin's goal of expanding its scale in terms of stance, attitude, and demands.

These two scoundrels are putting pressure on both of them. How interesting, how very interesting.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I must offer you a toast today. That pair of adulterers acted so convincingly, they almost fooled me."

The four sentences were "interesting," and Jia Dongwei had truly "understood" them.

Moreover, through Zaonan King's attitude, Jia Dongwei knew that Zaonan King had also been relatively foolish, so he generously acknowledged De Ding King's victory in this covert struggle.

You're something else, I'll drink to that.

It can only be said that it is absurd, even reaching new heights of absurdity.

"No wonder the two fellow Daoists didn't expect this. Those Rakshasa and Qingrui are indeed incredibly powerful demons."

But in my opinion, we should also be wary of Taihe Water's level; it sensed something was wrong back when the Rakshasa established the fourth sect.

King Deding calmly pretended to be an expert and continued.

"Shui Zun's judgment at the time was probably correct; Qing Rui and Luo Sha had already gotten together with Bi Fang long ago."

Then, when Qingrui and Luosha were establishing the fourth sect, they staged a scene where Qiu Mile consumed the Western Sea Immortal City and achieved the Golden Elixir.

Then, hey, the fourth faction 'retaliated' for Wang Yulou—that bastard Wang Yulou also attained the Golden Core stage.

The Water Venerable was on its guard, and its vigilance was justified. So, several years ago, it began to investigate what was really going on with Wang Yuque.

Even a top-tier Golden Core cultivator from the Immortal Alliance couldn't grasp it accurately, so it's quite normal that the two fellow Daoists couldn't either.

From accidentally revealing one's rear end, to urgently brainstorming to find the problem, and then extending the discussion along the lines of the problem.

In this round, King Deding launched a brilliant counterattack during the discussion. "Yes, do you all know about the incident on the Immortal Alliance's platform, the one where Dongluo Che sprayed Qingrui?"

Jia Dongwei nodded in deep agreement, and then raised a new point of discussion.

"Oh, I've heard about it. Fellow Daoist Dongwei, do you have any other news?" King Zaonan was genuinely nervous.

Compared to the resourceful and wise Daoist Wang, I seem to be rather foolish.

Could I have been labeled as an idiot?

He has attained enlightenment for over 70,000 years, but he fears being labeled as a rare treasure.
It didn't know that just now, King Deding had thought the same thing.
"I have some news. Back then, Wang Yuque's attainment of the Golden Core was actually quite rushed."

Its accumulation is certainly not enough. The first person back then, who was it again? He fought and won all the way through the chaotic era, constantly refining his opponents to achieve the fastest Golden Core record.

Although Wang Yuque had a good start, in this day and age, everyone is watching each other closely, so even Dishui and Qingrui can't give Wang Yuque special treatment.

But the window of opportunity is there, and we must make up for our shortcomings as soon as possible. It's not a good time for Qingrui and Luosha to make a move.

Can you guess how they solved the problem of Wang Yuque's insufficient accumulation of knowledge?

It's Jia Dongwei's turn to keep us in suspense.

Looking at it from another angle, isn't it because everyone is trying their best to show that their level is extremely high?
Spiritual practice shouldn't be this difficult.

In this current era of the struggle between the infinite and the infinite, the cultivation world has undergone a long period of development, and the difficulty has reached its peak.

Perhaps even these top-tier veterans at the very top sometimes feel mentally exhausted?

"Dongwei, you always like to keep people in suspense, hurry up and tell us," the Prince of Zaonan teased with a smile.

"Eastern Luo Cart!"

Wang Yuque replenished his accumulated knowledge in the cave of Dongluoche.

If we say that behind TopGold's expansion plan is a "TopGold Expansion Underwater Propulsion Alliance", then...

That Dongluo chariot, the one that led the way in spraying green stamens on the Immortal Terrace, was very likely also a member of this small alliance.

Jia Dongwei and Jia Lingwang gave their judgments in solemn tones.

When Dong Luoche was involved in the establishment of the 'Qingrui-Luosha' alliance, he pledged his loyalty and received initial shares. Later, he also became a core member of the fourth faction.

Therefore, by any measure, they are qualified to access the core plans of the 'Top Gold Expansion Underwater Propulsion Alliance'.

"No. If that's the case, then what is the Water Venerable? Couldn't the Water Venerable have guessed this?"

King Deding was truly unsure about the situation.

Originally, it was just trying to save itself, so it haphazardly concocted an outcome and direction.

结果
After a little investigation, the three top-ranking officials discovered that there was such a big problem inside.

“Yes, the Water Venerable also supports the expansion of the top-tier system, and even became the person who most supports the expansion of the top-tier system. What does that mean?” King Zaonan was also a little puzzled.

Jia Dongwei, who was standing to the side, pondered for a long time but also couldn't come up with an answer.

Suddenly, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable asked that question on the Assemblies Platform—

You are all preparing for the future of Wuji's struggle against Wuji, but if you can't win, there will be no future for any of you.

"I understand now. Shui Zun is the uncontrollable variable in Qing Rui and Luo Sha's plan."

The appearance of the Wuji Dao Master is naturally part of the variables, and is equally impossible.

The grand strategy of the Wuji contending against the Wuji suppressed the relatively smaller strategic situation of the 'Qingrui-Luosha' alliance.

Therefore, they had no choice but to follow the general trend.

Support Bifang in pressing the water vessel, and when the water vessel charges, support Bifang.

When the opportunity arises and they can plan for a top-tier expansion, they will support the top-tier expansion.

In itself, expanding the top tier is extremely difficult to achieve, but under the current circumstances, Qingrui and Luosha are acting as targets together, while Shuizun is leading the charge.

The chances of success will naturally be much greater.

Furthermore, through the manipulation of the top-tier expansion, the situation within the Immortal Alliance might even change.

At this point, Jia Dongwei glanced at King Deding and suddenly stopped talking.

King Zaonan and King Deding exchanged a glance, both seeing wise judgment in each other's eyes.

There's no need to explain it so clearly.

So the three of them silently raised their glasses and offered their blessings from afar to the doorman of the Boluo Society, who might not have seen the situation clearly at all and was being pushed step by step into the abyss.

"But what benefit would the expansion of the top-tier server bring to Qingrui and Luosha? It doesn't make sense to go to such lengths to do this."

The King of Zao Nan asked.

Its experience, accumulated knowledge, and moral compass are saving it, trying to help it understand the problem itself amidst the confusion.

However, the situation was too complex, so complex that even though the subconscious of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator had begun to save itself, it was still impossible to directly rescue it.

De Dingwang felt the pressure once again—it still had to be round.

This entire line of reasoning is developed from its judgment; if it were simply disproven, it would be incredibly foolish.

King Deding can accept 'seeing the truth after going through trials and tribulations,' but he cannot accept being caught stealing a chicken one minute and then immediately afterward—that's too low-class.

"Qingrui and Luosha are working for Bifang."

King Deding spoke with certainty.

"Didn't you see how proactive Bi Fang was?"

If all of this was Bi Fang's conspiracy, then everything makes sense, doesn't it?

Following "How could the Outer Heaven be so evil?", it's now "How could the Supreme Dharma Venerable Bifang be so evil?"

De Ding Wang is the true Bi Fang person.

Therefore, it was clear that Bi Fang was not behind this—or that Bi Fang had not informed it of the intricacies of the matter.

But not important.

Bifang is a good turtle; he can take the blame for anything without hesitation.

As the Prince of Zaonan savored his wine, he also pondered the truth behind the contradictions and complex situation.

It felt that the truth had been found.

"Brother Dongwei, Brother Deding, Bifang is very likely playing a big game."

The three of us need to be careful it doesn't mess things up.

"Right now, the struggle between the infinite and the infinite hasn't even truly begun, yet the world is already on the verge of chaos."

Everything was part of Bi Fang's grand strategy.

Bi Fang had no idea that he had just begun to play a grand game.

It doesn't have that many moves to make; it just wants to win this game steadily and survive this ordeal!
Perhaps this is what it means to be "a person who suffers misfortune in the country becomes the king of the world; a person who suffers misfortune in heaven and earth becomes the supreme ruler."

"That's right, Bifang definitely wants more fools to think that once they become top-tier Golden Core cultivators, they are 'top-tier Golden Core cultivators,' and then they misunderstand its special features and strength."

"When there are too many small fry, the situation becomes more complicated, it's harder for those below to rise, and it's easier for those above to win," King Deding remarked.

In the world of cultivation, those at the bottom see chaos as a ladder.

Betting that worthless, worthless life, betting on tomorrow, betting on the future.

Even the most powerful upper echelons view chaos as a ladder.

The power and transcendence of an individual cultivator means they can reshape everything.

The mediocre are the most afraid of chaos.

In theory, they have more opportunities than those at the bottom.

But just like the result of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's research—90% of the Golden Core cultivators in the cultivation world come from humble origins.

The proportion of cultivators who started as minor cultivators in the Golden Core stage is completely inconsistent with the proportion of those who started as minor cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

why?
Besides the pressure from their background shaping their extraordinary talents, another reason is that the middle class is impacted by both those at the top and bottom.

In the cultivation world, the middle ranks have to contend with both those below vying for opportunities and those above exploiting them.

Actually, it's quite difficult.

The most enjoyable one, of course, is the highest one—no one can control you, and you can do most things however you want, however you feel good.

"Yes, Bifang, oh Bifang, what a terrifying scheme!"

It suppressed and intimidated the Water Venerable, and then had its pack of dogs instigate the expansion of the Top Gold.

Hey, Shui Zun got bullied by Bi Fang and ended up with a black eye and a swollen face, but instead of giving up, he started charging forward for Bi Fang's wish to expand the top gold.

How horrible, how horrible, how could Bifang be so evil?

"It hasn't regressed at all over the years." Jia Dongwei felt that today's discussion was very fruitful.

Bi Fang's manipulation tactics, after the truth was gradually revealed, provided it with great inspiration.

"Advancing step by step, with iron chains linking the boats, their momentum is unstoppable."

Bi Fang is probably here with the intention of winning.

Cultivating Wang Yuque was a poisoned bait, the purpose of which was to plot against the Immortal Alliance.

It probably foresaw the demise of the Immortal Realm long ago, and also foresaw the rise of the Immortal Alliance, which is why it made this series of arrangements.

Later, the Lord of Wuji emerged, and it had to suppress the Water Venerable and control the Four Spirit Realms first before finally expanding the Top Gold directly.

The Lord of Limitless Dao, it wants to fight.

After the struggle between the infinite and the infinite ends, the victory of the new era also requires it.

Wang Yuque's question about "which era to bet on" sounds reasonable at first glance, but when you put it all together, well...

Zaonan Wang is really a bit numb.

This situation is difficult to resolve.

Even if we take the truth they've deduced and explain it to other top-tier experts, it won't be easy to understand.

On the one hand, their reasoning is the result of the condensation of the highest wisdom at the top Golden Core level, which is only logically sound but lacks empirical evidence—and Bifang could not provide them with empirical evidence either.

On the other hand, if Bifang's will is to fight against the infinite, then the great world must first be integrated through the expansion of the top gold.

Then, they will face resistance from Bi Fang.

But there's still resistance from those below.

Previously, Taihe Water Venerable and Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had established the "Cultivation Version of the Golden Expansion and Grace Order," which had already stirred up waves throughout the world.

Meanwhile, senior Golden Immortals from the Immortal Alliance, such as Jinguyuan, Lixian, and Dongluoche, have begun to put pressure on Rakshasa directly.

In terms of procedures and development pace, Bifang has been proceeding cautiously step by step, with pressure gradually increasing.

The groundwork laid in terms of creating momentum, increasing pressure, and secretly forming alliances was very thorough.

"Yes, that question actually touches on the true essence and core of the expansion of the top-tier platform."

Even we top-tier Golden Elixir cultivators, in terms of the abundance of resources we enjoy, are not as fortunate as Bifang and Boluo.

The pressure they face comes from both above and below them.

Taking a step back even slightly will cause a lot of trouble.

With more top-tier Golden Core cultivators emerging, these newly promoted junior cultivators, who all grew up listening to stories of Bi Fang, do they have the courage to face him?

King Zaonan complained that after seeing through Dingjin's scheme to expand the territory, they naturally felt immense pressure.

Bifang's plans spanned such a long time. Bifang, wouldn't it be better if you died?

Fantasy Moment~
Ding Jin occasionally needs to fantasize, otherwise, this cultivation would be too difficult to maintain.

"If we don't expand, the benefits after the Wuji struggle will be divided among us old cultivators who have been fighting for the Great Heaven and Earth for tens of thousands of years."

With the expansion, we'll definitely get less in the future—don't listen to what they say now, things will definitely change in the future.

That sounds nice, but first you have to survive. Haha, Wang Yuque, this is all there is to your life.

"I'm willing to be a puppet, but how can a puppet have a future?" Jia Dongwei said.

He was overcome with impotence and rage, and started accusing the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable of being a puppet.

The pressure on the Wuji Dao Master, the pressure on Bifang, the pressure of failure, and the pressure on those below who want to reach the clouds.

What is a top-grade Golden Elixir?

Those who can withstand near-maximum pressure will naturally have the opportunity to survive step by step during the development process and become top-tier Golden Core cultivators.

Just like the Golden Immortal realm, it is never an absolute state.

Even the highest level of Golden Core is not an absolute realm.

The extent to which changes are grasped, the extent to which they affect the overall situation, and the level of resilience and strength are all dimensions to consider.

From three perspectives, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has indeed reached the pinnacle of the 'two-thirds step' of the Golden Age.

In terms of the number of changes he can control, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is not up to par; he is not a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

However, the Four Spirit Realms are related to the struggle for supremacy, a battle for success or failure in a part of the world beyond the Great Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, in this dimension, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is only half-golden.

However, from the perspective of influencing the overall situation, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can leverage opportunities and window of opportunity to strategize and influence the overall situation, which is the true level of a top-tier expert.

Even those who truly reach the pinnacle of cultivation will not easily engage in physical combat or make rash decisions. The current fighting style employed by Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is at the 'Stabilizing Truth' level, involving the establishment and influence of underlying rules in cultivation.

Therefore, in this dimension, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can be considered a legitimate top-tier immortal.

However, in terms of resilience and strength, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is somewhat lacking.

His lack of ability ultimately stems from insufficient experience.

In less than two thousand years, they achieved the remarkable feat of entering the Boluo Society to discuss Daoist doctrines, which is truly astonishing, but the short timeframe is still a short timeframe.

However, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's ability to withstand pressure is also top-notch.

Therefore, in this dimension, it can also be considered a semi-top-tier gold medal.

In the three dimensions, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable obtained two and a half parts and one complete part, which together constitute the 'two-thirds step' of the top gold.

If we round it up, well, the top gold medal is complete!

Even if it's not a proper top-tier gold item, it's at least at the level of an expanded top-tier gold item!

"So how should we stop them, or rather, should we even try to stop them?"

King Zaonan tentatively asked his two colleagues.

This is a big problem. Should we put up with it or take it?
The main reason is that it doesn't actually want to be number one.

It was pleased that Rakshasa and Qingrui were willing to oppose and take the lead—this was also the opinion of most of the top Golden Core cultivators of the Winnowing Basket Society.

Let those two mad dogs tear Wang Yuque apart; they have real grudges, affections, and conflicts of interest with him.

but now.
Once the situation became 'clear', King Zaonan no longer dared to sit idly by while Qingrui and Luosha charged in front of him.

After all, behind the Dingjin expansion plan led by Wang Yuque and Taihe Water, there is likely a 'Dingjin Expansion Underwater Propulsion Alliance'.

Qingrui and Luosha are the two vice leaders of this alliance, while Wuji Fazun Bifang, who stands at the highest position, is the leader.

Despite Qingrui and Luosha's current enthusiasm, they are actually likely the most supportive of expanding the top-tier server capacity.
This judgment, this truth, seems quite counterintuitive, counterfactual, and even 'anti-intellectual'.

However, when King Zaonan, King Deding, and King Jialing consider the intensity of the confrontation with Dingjin, Bifang's extreme despicable nature, and Qingrui's moral standards, they will genuinely believe that this 'counterintuitive, counterfactual, and anti-intellectual' conclusion is true.

Moreover, it's the kind of conclusion that's 'as real as can be'.

The world of cultivation is as deep as these three people see it!
However, De Ding Wang would occasionally have flashbacks of memory, reminding it that something seemed wrong, that this was all the result of its random biting.

However, when it thinks about the reasoning process, it will start to reflect on itself with vigilance—is its own Dao heart still not enough?

"No rush, let's play with them for a while."

Wang Yuque rushed to the front, simply to put pressure on us at the Winnowing Basket Meeting on behalf of the Golden Elixir below.

This process of applying pressure can actually reveal a person's true character.

The hearts of those below are like a tide, but at the Bamboo Basket Meeting, the hearts of the top Golden Core cultivators are an even more turbulent tide.

We need to let Bifang and its pack of dogs feel the pressure from us.

Then we can further suppress TopGold's expansion plan.

Even if the suppression fails and the plan is eventually implemented, winning over the hearts and minds of the top-tier Golden Core cultivators can help us secure better conditions.

De Dingwang offered his own solution, revealing that he was now actually suspicious that Bi Fang was even on guard against him.

After a moment's thought, Jia Dongwei and Zaonan Wang both agreed.

Stay out of the game and wait for things to change.

It may seem foolish, but the variables that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, Water Venerable, Bifang, Qingrui, and Rakshasa invested are all real.

If the three top-tier immortals from the three immortal kingdoms do not invest any chips and simply watch those who have already invested struggle, as long as the outcome remains uncertain and no major changes occur, they will relatively profit.

As for whether it will be a success or a failure in the final moments, and whether it can turn the tide, let's wait and see.

There is no perfect solution.
-

The discussion among the three kings of the Immortal Kingdom took place within the cave of King Zaonan, and in the blink of an eye.

At the Basket Gathering, time remained frozen at the moment when the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable asked his question.

Cangshan was deep in thought, seemingly surprised and puzzled by the Jade Palace Immortal's question.

De Dingwang directly reminded it.

"Xiao Cang, something's not right. I have a question for you. When Wang Yuque was attaining the Golden Core stage, did Dongluoche provide him with any assistance?"

This question suddenly jolted Cangshan awake—it also involved the matter of the Dongluo chariot.

It failed to connect this issue with "Qunxiantai Dongluoche Kaituan Qingrui" in the first place—that's the level of a watchdog in the Boluo Society.

Yes, Dongluoche completed Wang Yuque's foundation for the Dao, but in retrospect, it wasn't completely completed. Wang Yuque waited many more years before he could begin to prove his Dao.

Moreover, before attaining enlightenment, Wang Yuque ate a great meal in the Dripping Water Cave, further solidifying his foundation.

Cangshan's answer is the reason why the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable would never take the initiative to be an enemy of a drop of water.

The grace of attaining enlightenment.

But De Dingwang's focus was clearly not on that.

'How do you know that the drop of water gave Wang Yuque a large bust? Was it some kind of dual cultivation method or some other technique?'

Judging from Wang Yuque's movements and the timing, the only answer is to replenish the foundation within the dripping cave.

I don't know the specifics of how it was repaired, but, Fellow Daoist Deding, your questions are very helpful.

After a moment's thought, King Deding decided to help his little brother out.

It is Bifang's ally, but it also has to consider its own interests.

Xiao Cang is indeed somewhat useless, but he is still only a top-tier Golden Core level useless.

Cangshan Mountain is my bargaining chip, and I must protect it.

"Be careful. Don't be fooled by how fierce Qingrui and Luosha are. In fact, you might be the only one in your Immortal Alliance who doesn't support the expansion of the top-tier server."

When making a statement, be extremely careful; never give the Water God the opportunity to use you as a sacrifice.

Yes, the situation has actually developed to the point where 'Cangshan could be sacrificed at any time'.

"What? What did you say?" Cangshan was truly numb.

It didn't understand why it was now subservient to the Immortal Alliance, which it had founded.

Before I became a top-tier gold mine, I was like a turtle hiding in its shell.

Now that I've become a top-tier player, I'll still pretend to be a coward.

this.
'Your situation is on the verge of life and death. You can't see it clearly, but I can.'

Now, immediately adjust your strategy, consolidate your forces within your Cangshan Kingdom, and prepare to fight for a way to survive.

Suppressing his shock, Cangshan glanced at the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable who was exchanging barbs with Qingrui and asked.

"King Deding, could you please tell me what exactly happened?"

Me, King Zaonan, and King Jialing
If you object too strongly, the Water Lord will kill you directly.

At that time, Rakshasa and Qingrui will put on a show, and finally spray water at the Water Venerable.

Next, Bifang stepped in, allowing Shuizun to 'charge into battle' and start the fight in the demon cave.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent greater conflicts and to maintain unity, Dingjin is officially expanding!
This was all a conspiracy by Bi Fang!

Cangshan felt a complete chaos in his mind, and the mental landscape within him began to churn.

It wanted to arrive at a less pessimistic outcome, to prove itself, to prove that it was not the price, and should not be the price.

But it sadly discovered that it seemed it really was going to become that price.

The King of Zaonan reminded himself of this before, and now the King of Deding is reminding himself of this again. The content of their reminders is completely contradictory.

Furthermore, Cangshan had secretly served Bifang before; it was one of Bifang's people, so Bifang should never have attacked it or used it as a sacrifice.

However, all the doubts came to a near consensus in the explanation of King Deding.

This is a huge conspiracy, and I am already standing on the edge of a cliff because of my 'weakness'.

'Bifang, Bifang, why is Bifang so bad!'

Cangshan responded indignantly.

'This is spiritual practice. Don't complain. We must overcome these vile beasts.'

Xiao Cang, quickly adjust your mindset, you need to survive.

Remember, if you can survive eleven or twelve breaths, you'll be fine.

Give it your all.
