Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 183 Formulating a Plan, The Dream Palace

After Su Ji brought the representatives of various forces to the broken underwater space of the Immortal Realm, his mission was considered to be more than half completed.

Regardless of the outcome of the subsequent discussions, we must still help the cultivators of the Golden Cave Sect who have survived to this day, and we must still deal with the traitors of the demon race and the evil immortals.

The only thing that needs to be discussed is the timing and the intensity.

Admittedly, after outside cultivators came into contact with the Golden Cave Sect cultivators, the Golden Cave Sect members were no longer fighting alone. However, due to the dilapidated state of the Immortal Realm, the help from outside cultivators was limited.

However, we should not underestimate the power of outside cultivators.

Back then, the Undying Demon Lord only sent eight divine-soldier-level demons to invade the Golden Cave Sect's blessed land. The reason why the Golden Cave Sect disciples were forced to go into hiding, the demon race to submit, and the evil immortals to rebel was partly due to the demon army that swept across the entire blessed land.

It should be understood that during the changing of dynasties, even immortals dare not recklessly meddle in the karma and consequences, and even military generals may be injured or killed by soldiers in the midst of a great battle.

In the extraordinary world, the power of the group may seem insignificant.

Don't forget, if there can be a ghost general among a thousand people, there can also be a warrior general among hundreds or thousands of people.

It's possible that a village might not have a single military general, and a county town might have only a handful of military generals.

However, for a continent or even a country, the number of military generals and even military kings must be considerable.

Similarly, apart from newly born demons, most of the demons in the army are at the level of ghost generals, and there are countless demons at the level of ghost kings. There are also quite a few that can fight against immortals.

As a result, the demon army was able to help the demon lord defeat the White Tiger Immortal General of the blessed land, and the demon race was able to drive out the demons when only one-tenth of the demon army survived.

Furthermore, the actions of the Golden Cave Sect in protecting so many people actually served other purposes as well.

The common people are the cradle for cultivating cultivators. If the Golden Cave Sect only has a few dozen cultivators left, there is no possibility of passing on the legacy.

The power of the people's faith is also an indispensable force in refining the six White Tiger Divine Pillars. Even if there are only a few thousand people, it can at least keep the White Tiger Divine Pillars from losing their grade...

However, given that the top combat power of the demon race and evil spirits is no weaker than that of the human race, the timing and strength of the counterattack are questionable.

Currently, all the major powers have learned about the combat strength analysis of the Broken Immortal Realm from Su Ji.

Although the demons have eleven divine-level demon lords, the Golden Demon Cloud and the six Earth Demon Giants have no self-awareness, and the Undying Demon King is suppressed behind the six White Tiger Divine Pillars. Only the three demon leaders born from blessed lands are a threat.

Apart from the evil immortals who betrayed humanity, the demon race possessed a total of seven minor Dao fruits. However, according to Daoist Zhenyi, these demons were not actually of one mind.

The Golden Cave Sect's hiding place is near the Snow Mountain Bear Clan. Although it is hidden underground, it has already been discovered by the Snow Mountain Bear Clan.

However, whether the Snow Mountain Bear Clan still held hope for the human race or did not want to cause any trouble, they did not do anything against the Golden Cave Sect.

Although the Snow Forest Ape Clan and the White Tomb Fox Clan both possessed the Small World Dao Fruit, they inherited it from the previous generation. Due to their insufficient strength, they chose to band together with the Snow Mountain Bear Clan for mutual support.

It should be noted that even the Immortal Lord of the Golden Cave Sect needs to extend his lifespan through slumber, which can be described as a thirty-year dream.

The seven minor demon immortals, some of whom had become immortals at an earlier time, naturally had shorter lifespans, according to information obtained by the Golden Cave Sect.

Currently, only the Snow Mountain Bear Clan Fairy, the Peak Mountain White Tiger Fairy, and the North Sea Snake Clan Fairy experienced the ancient war; the other four are "new generation" fairies who got the opportunity later...

"In other words, within the ruined immortal realm of the Golden Cave Sect, the evil immortals are unforgivable enemies, and the White Tiger Little Immortal of Fengshan who betrayed the White Tiger Immortal General cannot be tolerated either. The North Sea Snake Clan may be able to be won over, and the Snow Mountain Bear Clan Little Immortal has the best chance of developing into an ally."

When Su Ji returned to the Zhang family's courtyard in Dongsang Village, he told Zhang Xiaolian about what he had seen and heard that day.

At this moment, a peculiar fragrance filled the room; it was none other than the farewell gift bestowed by the True Master.

At that time, Daoist Zhenyi noticed Su Ji's great curiosity about incense, so he generously gave Su Ji an incense pill. Everyone has the Elixir of Immortality, and this incense pill was Su Ji's reward for helping to convey the message.

Zhang Xiaolian suddenly sighed, "The battle for the blessed land of the Golden Cave Sect is so thrilling, I can only imagine how brutal the ancient war to suppress the Undying Demon Lord must have been..."

Although Zhang Xiaolian had never witnessed war, she sensed its terror and cruelty through stories and various pieces of information.

Su Ji also felt the same way about this.

However, sometimes, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and Su Ji, who possesses the Divine Calculation and the God of Wealth's Heavenly Secrets Abacus, understands this even more deeply.

Currently, he can only calculate minor matters with his divination tool, and he cannot get too involved.

Perhaps, the secrets of heaven can predict what will happen in the future.

However, judging from Su Ji's ascension to the Spirit Realm in Caijia Village, knowing the secrets of heaven was actually just the Heavenly Dao's deduction of the current information. It was his influence that changed the blind fortune teller's prediction, causing the whole event to develop in a different way.

Even when dealing with cultivators of the same level, Su Ji would make careful deductions.
Su Ji would never presume to pry into the existence of powerful forces or beings at the level of immortals and gods; this was all based on Yan Tianchou's experience.

As for the matter of the Golden Cave Sect's blessed land, there will definitely be no direct war at the moment. Whether the Golden Cave Sect is trying to win over the demon race or instigate a conflict between the demon race and evil spirits, it will take time.

At least before the Snow Mountain Conference, the dilapidated fairyland will surely be calm and peaceful.

Therefore, Su Ji focused his attention on Zhang Xiaolian.

"To the Golden Cave Sect, I am merely an outsider cultivator; to the various powers, I am just a Sun-Watching Spirit General with a superior-grade escape technique. I am not important in the war between immortals and gods..."

"Your promotion is of great importance. Not only do we need to develop a meticulous plan, but before you officially reflect the Moon Star, I also need to find a way to make a trip to the Moon Palace in the Dream Realm!"

In fact, after Su Ji advanced to a high-level cultivator, his perception of the Golden Toad in the Real Dream Palace became increasingly clear. However, he was afraid of affecting the isolation between Zhang Xiaolian's subconscious and the Bright Moon in the Dream Palace, so he did not attempt to enter the Golden Toad's body.

Moreover, Su Ji is now becoming more and more adept at using the Way of Deflection, and his accumulated divine power has reached more than one Yuan. Even if it is the Toad Palace in the dream that possesses the power of immortals and gods, Su Ji is not without the ability to deal with it.

Therefore, Su Ji instructed Zhang Xiaolian to continue to repair the deficiencies in her cultivation and to cultivate her mental state to its best condition.

As for Su Ji himself, upon entering Zhang Xiaolian's real dream, he headed towards that distant, faint sense of connection.

In the past, Su Ji's medium for entering the real dream was the figurative golden toad in Zhang's courtyard; now it is the bright moon, which is "tens of thousands of miles" away from the ground.

In the real dream, only two small courtyards on the ground are clearly visible and seem real. Although the rest of the place is accessible, the details are not perfect. In the sky, the clouds and the sun are also not perfect. Only the bright moon appears extremely real because of the profound principles that Zhang Xiaolian has mastered.

From the ground, the moon appears to be the size of a millstone. Within its vast palace are not only the so-called "City of Exquisite Gems," but also the Moon Laurel Forest, the Guanghan Palace, and various palaces and hills inhabited by mythical beasts.

Ultimately, Zhang Xiaolian has no memory of her past life; all the tangible things on the moon are things she has heard and thought about.

"Linlang City" was coined by Su Ji and refers to the location of the Spirit Emperor.

According to legend, the Moon Palace is inhabited by the Moon Goddess, the Moon Queen, and many palace maids transformed from the essence of the moon.

The various mythical beasts distributed on the moon were created based on Su Ji's observations and experiences.

It is said that after the Primordial Era, the environment of heaven and earth deteriorated, and most of the divine beasts on the ground degenerated. Some divine beasts of the Yin attribute that were born and cultivated successfully ascended to the Taiyin Star and formed part of the Taiyin Divine Kingdom.

Among them, the City of Luminous Blossoms is located on the back of the Toad Palace, the Palace of the Moon is at the mouth of the Toad Palace, the Moon Laurel Forest is on the forehead of the Toad Palace, and the dwellings of the divine beasts are distributed on the limbs and around the Toad Palace.

Su Ji's consciousness followed the sensation, seemingly traversing tens of thousands of miles, yet also seemingly in just an instant, before he officially arrived inside the Golden Toad in the Toad Palace.

Surprisingly, this golden toad body has broken through the limitations imposed on physical golden toads on the ground, and is now comparable to the physical body of a demon king with a high-grade spiritual artifact.

"It has been more than nine months since the golden toad appeared in the Toad Palace. It should have reached this level of strength through the gradual influence!"

On the ground, the focus should be on Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation level. As long as Zhang Xiaolian doesn't break through to the highest level, the materialized golden toad should be limited to a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

As a result, Su Ji made Yan Tianchou use the mysterious [Sexual Metal] to devour various treasures in order to enhance the Golden Toad clone.

Above this bright moon, it seems that because the Toad Palace is closer to Zhang Xiaolian's Xuanxian Dao Fruit, the Toad Palace Golden Toad has no upper limit.

However, this also made Su Ji more cautious amidst his surprise.

Since this bright moon is most likely the manifestation of Zhang Xiaolian's previous life's Xuanxian Dao Fruit in a real dream, the so-called Toad Palace Immortal Shadow may also possess extraordinary power.

Yan Tianchou also holds this view: "Even if the Fairy Shadow of the Moon Palace cannot actively approach Zhang Xiaolian, it does not mean that the Fairy Shadow is weak. Perhaps it is Zhang Xiaolian's subconscious resistance, or it may be the Moon Palace's restriction on the Fairy Shadow."

"To be on the safe side, we can first create a clone and go to the Laurel Forest to test the waters."

From the ground, it can be roughly seen that the celestial being of the Moon Palace is not inside the Moon Palace, but in the Moon Laurel Grove.

Although there are many laurel trees in the Laurel Grove, the main feature is a huge laurel tree that is over 500 feet tall. According to Zhang Xiaolian's description, the Immortal Shadow of the Moon Palace was recently on this divine laurel tree.

Indeed, the celestial shadows of the moon palace are not static, but rather move about like living things.

Xianying spends most of her time in the Guanghan Palace, and has even been to the City of Linlang... Recently, for some unknown reason, she went to the Moon Laurel Tree.

The laurel tree is said to be the most powerful treasure of the Taiyin Emperor, while others say it is one of the few celestial treasures that has survived from ancient times to the present day.

Such a large laurel tree, even if it were just a manifestation of a real dream, could still be seen from a great distance.

Su Ji then conjured a clone, taking with him the "Yin Wo" clone that Yan Tianchou had specially castrated, and together they went to the Laurel Tree.

The Moon Palace may seem very large, but it is actually a representation of Zhang Xiaolian.

According to the same proportions, the Golden Toad in the Toad Palace was also several tens of feet in size, and even its clones were four or five feet tall. It didn't take long for it to arrive at the Moon Laurel Forest.

Most of the laurel trees surrounding the Laurel Grove were propagated from cuttings of the sacred Laurel Tree, and were generally several tens of feet in size. The Golden Toad of the Toad Palace quickly disappeared into the Laurel Grove.

About fifteen minutes later, the branches and leaves of the laurel tree suddenly swayed, and then a fairy figure dressed in a moon-white robe flew down.

Judging from her appearance, this fairy only bears a slight resemblance to Zhang Xiaolian, and her height is more than ten feet tall.

Su Ji's expression changed slightly, while Yan Tianchou deduced: "If the Moon Palace Immortal Shadow is a reflection of Zhang Xiaolian's previous life, then Zhang Xiaolian's previous life may not have been a human. She may have been a divine beast of the Yin attribute, or she may have been a laurel tree, a treasure root of earth that had become a spirit..."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Zhang Xiaolian's cultivation level in her previous life was extremely high, and her Heavenly Soul and Spirit became extremely large as a result."

In fact, besides the immortal master of the Golden Cave Sect and the True Rituals Daoist, Su Ji had also witnessed from afar the confrontation between the Thousand Transformations Ancestor and the immortals of the Golden Mountain Sect.

Based on the assessment at the time, even the divine form of the Thousand Transformations Ancestor's Celestial Puppet was only a dozen or so feet in size...

Of course, although the Thousand Transformations Ancestor was a divine official of the Heavenly Crafts Department, he only descended to the mortal realm for personal matters at the time, and the divine puppets he mobilized were probably only at the level of divine weapons.

"The Heavenly Soul alone is over ten feet tall. If it were to unleash its Dharma Form, wouldn't it reach a hundred feet in height?"

A hundred zhang may not seem like much, but if you were to compare it to a hundred-story building, it would be astonishing. Moreover, many mountain ranges don't even exceed a hundred zhang...

Just as Su Ji and Yan Tianchou were brainstorming, the fairy figure, who was over ten feet tall, suddenly spoke.

"The scene of the Moon Palace matches my memories in most aspects, except for the city in my heart and mind, which is different..."

"Most importantly, there is no so-called Soul Spirit Emperor in the Toad Palace. You, the ancient Golden Toad General who comes from the Soul Spirit Emperor of the City of Linglang, which faction sent you?"

These words were forceful and carried a powerful sense of authority, almost causing Su Ji's Toad Palace clone to lose its head.

Fortunately, Su Ji had already prepared a plan to deal with this situation.

In fact, as Su Ji gradually came to understand this world, he realized that the so-called Soul Spirit Emperor might not exist.

After all, if there really was a Spirit Emperor on the Taiyin Star, the world wouldn't be unaware of it. In addition, due to the taboo, the Empress should have called herself the Taiyin Star Lord instead of the Emperor long ago.

Therefore, Su Ji came up with another explanation.

"If there is no Soul Spirit Emperor in this world, what about the other worlds?"
"Just know, fairy, that I do not represent any power. My sole purpose in coming here is for you and your reincarnation."
