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

Since Su Ji learned the secrets of the Dao Fruit of the Blessed Land and the Small World, he has gained a lot of understanding of the Dao Fruit of the Profound Immortal.

Within the blessed lands and grottoes, the Small Heaven Dao Fruit is the manifestation of the "Dao" of the Inner Heaven, and only one can comprehend it.

In the present world, the Dao Fruit of the Profound Immortal is also a manifestation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Once someone cultivates it, if they want to comprehend the profound principles of this minor or even intermediate Dao Fruit, they can only do so with the other party's permission.

The reason why Su Ji was able to comprehend the Dao of Deflection at the very beginning of his cultivation was because no one had grasped this profound principle. As long as one could enter the Dao, one could follow the clues and comprehend more profound principles.

If Su Ji were to one day fully master the Dao of Deflection, other cultivators would only be able to comprehend the mysteries of Deflection, and would no longer be able to grasp the Dao principles of Deflection.

Similarly, if the Xuanxian of Jinshan Sect wants to cultivate a Celestial Lord, they need to find other Xuanxian to help them, otherwise they will never be able to comprehend the profound principles within that Lesser Dao Fruit.

In other words, the Dao Fruit was originally a public property, but once someone cultivated it, it became their private property.

Even though there are twenty-five minor Dao Fruits on the Golden Path, there is still competition among the Xuanmen (mysterious sects) within the path. In order to prevent the other Xuanmen from overtaking them to become the master of this path, they all block each other.

As a result, if the Golden Mountain Sect wanted to gather all the profound principles of the nine minor Dao Fruits of the Great Dao of Metal, it could only set its sights on the Golden Cave Sect.

At this moment, Su Ji suddenly thought of a question and took the opportunity to ask it.

“Fairy Zhenyi, it is said that the Golden Mountain Sect has mastered nine minor Dao Fruits of the Metal Attribute Great Dao, including four types of [Scattered Metal], two types of [Xin Metal], and three types of [Geng Metal]. At least one more minor Dao Fruit of [Xin Metal] is needed.”

"Because of the blessing of the Dao-Merging Cave Heaven, the Immortal Lord cannot take the Profound Immortal Dao Fruit with him when he goes out, and the Profound Immortals from the Golden Mountain Sect cannot enter either. Yet the Fairy has no such concerns and now wants to ask the Golden Mountain Sect for help. Could it be that there is a problem with the Dao Fruit of the third Profound Immortal of the Golden Cave Sect?"

If Zixiu Xiexian wants to become a Celestial General, he still needs to improve the level of his blessed land and grotto-heaven, not to mention that he will later upgrade his small world and minor Dao Fruit to a medium Dao Fruit.

Fairy Zhenyi doesn't need to go through so much trouble. If she can thoroughly understand the profound principles of the three Lesser Dao Fruits, she will have the opportunity to become a Celestial General.

Previously, it could be said that Fairy Zhenyi chose to maintain her Immortal Soldier realm because she wanted to help the Golden Cave Sect eliminate evil spirits, which is why she chose to remain at the Immortal Soldier realm even though she could leave the blessed land.

Now that they have wiped out all the evil spirits in the blessed land, Fairy Zhenyi is actually following Su Ji's words and wants to help the Golden Mountain Sect. This makes people wonder what is going on with the mysterious third Xuanxian Dao Fruit of the Golden Cave Sect!

"The third Xuanxian of my Golden Cave Sect..."

At this point, Fairy Zhenyi's expression suddenly darkened, followed by a hint of helplessness:
"The Golden Cave Sect has a venerable immortal like the Immortal Lord who has stood firm for tens of thousands of years, as well as two fellow immortals who died at the hands of demons. There are also people like me who rely on the body of a true immortal and the bonfire of the Sea Eye Immortal Aperture. There are also people who abandoned the Golden Cave Sect and fled for their lives."

"That's right. The last Xuanxian of the Golden Cave Sect abandoned the sect in ancient times in order to survive. At this time, he either merged with the Dao in a blessed land of a Xuanmen sect like the Immortal Lord, or he left his inheritance to outsiders..."

Su Ji had long known that the Jinshan Sect had benefited from the Jinku Sect in ancient times, and had taken the lead in cultivating two Xuanxian of the [Xinjin] lineage, bringing the Jinshan Sect only one step away from cultivating a Xianjun.

However, this one step trapped the Jinshan Sect for tens of thousands of years.

The destruction of the Golden Cave Sect gave the Golden Mountain Sect the opportunity to cultivate Immortal Lords, but because the Golden Cave Sect was not completely destroyed, it was difficult to gather the three Mysterious Immortal Dao Fruits of the [Xin Metal] Dao.

"I thought that underwater space was created by the last Xuanxian using his Dao Fruit, but I never imagined he had already abandoned the Golden Cave Sect to save his own life..."

In fact, Su Ji had sensed something was amiss long ago. Even if the last Xuanxian of the Golden Cave Sect was unknown, he should have left behind a legend.

Now that he knows the other party is a defector, Su Ji understands the unspeakable difficulties of Fairy Zhenyi.

The existence of someone like Zixiu Xiexian could be attributed to the Jinku Sect's poor governance, but the defection of Xuanxian, a Supreme Elder of the Jinku Sect, indicates problems even at the higher levels, which would be extremely embarrassing to admit.

Only now that Su Ji has become a minor immortal of the Golden Cave Sect, a temporary measure of being both a Supreme Elder and Vice Sect Master, has he received the truthful information from Fairy Zhenyi.

For a moment, Su Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The Xuanmen sects have actually engaged in such open and covert struggles!"

Clearly, the Xuanmen sect that took in the Xuanxian from the Jinku Sect deliberately concealed the existence of this Xuanxian in order to prevent the Jinshan Sect from producing a Celestial Lord and to avoid being targeted by the Jinshan Sect.

However, this plan, which had been in the making for tens of thousands of years, was shattered when cracks appeared in the ancient array of the White Rock Mountains and news spread that a Mystic Immortal was still alive in the blessed land of the Golden Cave Sect.

This made the only normal Xuanxian Zhenyi Fairy of the Jinku Sect the last hope for the Jinshan Sect to cultivate a Celestial Lord.

After all, to gather another type of metal-attribute middle-path fruit, the Xuanmen sect, which specializes in metal-attribute middle-path fruits, would have to be wiped out again.

As for the Xuanmen sect targeting Jinshan Sect, with the hope of finding the true lineage of the Jinku Sect's Zhenyi Fairy, Jinshan Sect would never yield to them for the sake of even the slightest possibility.

"In that case, if the fairy wishes to become a Celestial General, she will truly need the assistance of two Mystic Immortals from the [Xin Jin] lineage of the Golden Mountain Sect..."

At this point, Su Ji had no more doubts, but that did not mean he chose to agree to become the vice sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect. It wasn't that the position of vice sect leader was difficult to hold, but rather that he had some karmic ties to bear.

Therefore, Su Ji specifically asked, "Whether the Golden Cave Sect relies on or cooperates with the Golden Mountain Sect in the future, as long as you can cultivate to the Immortal General realm, you will be able to stand firm in the mortal world... However, I have the karma of an Immortal Lord level on my hands. You should think it over carefully before asking me whether I should be the Vice Sect Master of the Golden Cave Sect!"

Currently, Su Ji himself has no major karma, but because he is involved with Zhang Xiaolian, the reincarnation of the Lesser Yin God, he has a karmic connection with the God.

Although the Lesser Yin God had already implemented a meticulous plan for his reincarnation before his own, the Empress Taiyin was still concerned about Zhang Xiaolian's existence, and no one knew what changes might occur in the future.

This means that Su Ji might be drawn into the vortex between the Moon Queen and the Lesser Yin God. By subtly mentioning it to Fairy Zhenyi now, he can avoid incurring any moral debt.

"The God's karma?"

Both Fairy Zhenyi and the Immortal Lord changed their expressions. Even the Golden Mountain Sect has not produced a Divine Lord to this day, let alone the Golden Cave Sect, which almost perished in ancient times.

However, Fairy Zhenyi and the Immortal Lord were immediately filled with excitement.

The karma of a deity will certainly involve some crises, but coexisting with these crises are the most desirable opportunities.

In their view, how could an ordinary person possibly be tainted by the karma of a deity? Perhaps Su Ji, this mysterious and unpredictable person, is the reincarnation of a deity!
Therefore, after a brief discussion, Fairy Zhenyi and the Immortal Lord reached a final conclusion.

"Even the Undying Demon Lord failed to destroy my Golden Cave Sect, let alone the so-called Divine Lord's karma!"

"Now is the time when my Golden Cave Sect is in dire need of rebuilding, and we need talents like Fellow Daoist Golden Toad. Let alone the karma of a Divine Lord, what is there to fear even if we participate in the struggle for the throne?"

The Heavenly Emperors take turns sitting on the throne, and the Golden Cave Sect has witnessed many such transformations. They know that the so-called struggle for the throne has its limits; while immortals and gods may die in such struggles, no Xuanmen sect has ever been directly wiped out because of them. This gave Fairy Zhenyi and the Immortal Lord great confidence. Having said all that, Su Ji no longer hesitated and readily agreed to Fairy Zhenyi and the Immortal Lord's request, officially becoming one of the two Vice Sect Masters of the Golden Cave Sect.

Next, Su Ji began to busy himself with the Golden Cave Sect, the most important of which was the distribution of the spoils of war. This involved not only the visiting cultivators and the minor immortals, but also the cultivation of new small world Dao fruits.

Su Ji was most concerned about the cultivation of the Lesser Heavenly Dao Fruit: "Among those remains of the Earth Demon Giants, a portion was originally intended for outside cultivators. In order to cultivate the Lesser Heavenly Dao Fruit, we can only offer some additional compensation to the outside cultivators..."

According to the original agreement, a complete remains of the Earth Demon Giant should be given to the visiting cultivators, but now we can only compensate them with resources as much as possible.

The Immortal Lord then presented a plan he had already devised: "Fortunately, this time we not only raided the demon's lair, but also confiscated the accumulated wealth of the evil immortal and the wolf clan's lesser immortal over tens of thousands of years. The Golden Toad Vice Sect Master should definitely get a share of this!"

Wolf Clan Little Immortal's family background is average, while Zixiu Evil Immortal's family background is extremely rich. After all, for so many years, Zixiu Evil Immortal has considered himself the orthodox successor of the Golden Cave Sect.

As this was also the first time that Fairy Zhenyi had served as the sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect, she immediately thought of ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure: "This blessed land has many wonders and even holy sites, so we can take out some slots as resources to give away and sell... In order to save some money, I plan to open the Sea Eye Immortal Aperture as well."

Every blessed land contains both tangible and intangible resources. Tangible resources include mineral veins and treasures, while intangible resources include extraordinary and sacred sites.

Back then, Su Ji was only comprehending the mysteries within the spiritual realm of the City God Temple, yet he was able to cultivate several high-grade mystical arts. Not to mention the blessed lands with even more profound mysteries; even if he couldn't cultivate into a mystical immortal through such means, he could at least comprehend various magical arts and supernatural powers...

Even Su Ji couldn't help but sigh, "The Sea Eye Immortal Aperture... the Earth Vein Immortal Aperture... the Wind Eye Immortal Aperture, the Golden Cave Sect's blessed land is indeed a great place for cultivation!"

Every blessed land must be based on earth, wind, water, and fire. The blessed land of Jinku Sect has three major immortal apertures: earth, wind, and water.

Previously, Su Ji was either fighting demons or scheming against the evil immortal cultivators. Now that he has become the vice sect master of the Golden Cave Sect, he will definitely have to take time to cultivate using the strange and holy lands.

Putting everything else aside, Su Ji must at least cultivate the Deflecting Water and Deflecting Land techniques to the level of superior-grade mystical arts. As for other techniques such as the Deflecting Four Symbols, Deflecting Earth, and Deflecting Wood, he should naturally cultivate as many as he can, so as to lay a solid foundation for becoming an Immortal Lord!

As for the Immortal Lord's proposals regarding resource allocation, territory division, and holy land distribution, Su Ji did not refuse any of them.

The so-called resource allocation refers to the spoils obtained from eliminating evil spirits and removing the evil immortals and wolf clan minor immortals. The spoils allocated to Su Ji alone were worth tens of millions of strands of divine power.

Su Ji's training ground is located within Xilan City, so the area west of the central line between Baihu City and Xilan City is Su Ji's territory.

As for the allocation of the sacred sites, it is even simpler. There are three immortal apertures in the blessed land. Fairy Zhenyi will naturally continue to guard the Sea Eye Immortal Aperture, the Immortal Lord will guard the Wind Eye Immortal Aperture, and the last Earth Vein Immortal Aperture will fall within the area guarded by Su Ji.

Fortunately, the Earth Vein Immortal Aperture is not far from Xilan City. Once it is open to the public, it will be managed by Su Ji, the deputy sect master of the Golden Cave Sect.

"His wealth, amounting to tens of millions of strands of divine power, has finally surpassed that of the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm. If we add his control over the Golden Cave Sect's Earth Vein Immortal Aperture Holy Land, he's no less powerful than the White Jade Toad Lord..."

Since he began cultivating, the most arrogant beings Su Ji had ever seen were the Earth Yang Serpent Lord and the White Jade Toad Lord. Among them, the White Jade Toad Lord was particularly wealthy because he had received the legacy of the previous generation of Bright Moon Spirit.

Now, through hard work, Su Ji has surpassed these two guardian spirits of the City God Temple in terms of status, strength, and even wealth, leaving Su Ji feeling somewhat dazed.

After a while, Su Ji looked up at the south and said with a sigh, "In that case, it's time for me to appear before the world with a brand new identity!"

That day, Su Ji, in his capacity as the deputy sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect, left the blessed land and met with Jin Yan Lingjun and others from the Golden Mountain Sect at the ancient ruins.

"The Vice Sect Master of the Golden Cave Sect?"

Although people thought that Jin Chan's status would be greatly improved after he learned that he had become a minor immortal in the blessed land, they never expected that he would become the sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect.

In ordinary sects, even the sect leader is merely an assistant to the elders in managing worldly affairs; if they fail to perform their duties well, they may even be deposed.

Now that the Golden Cave Sect has been rebuilt after its destruction, the sect leader, Fairy Zhenyi, is essentially the restorer of the sect, and the deputy sect leader has even more real power. Not to mention that the Golden Toad is a minor immortal, whose status and position have already surpassed those of the other minor immortals.

In an instant, countless exclamations and praises arose. Even many elders of the Golden Mountain Sect and the Dragon Mountain Sect showed their admiration for Su Ji.

Ultimately, only a unique sect like the Golden Cave Sect, which broke down and then rebuilt itself, could offer opportunities for minor immortals and the position of deputy sect leader.

In sects like Jinshan Sect and Longshan Sect, the upper echelons are already overflowing with people, and even the elders have little hope for the future...

Just then, Jin Yanlingjun's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately pulled Su Ji and ran out of the ancient formation.

Ultimately, although the Golden Flame Spirit Lord was under the command of the Golden Flame Divine General, he came with the Golden Mountain Sect's plan.

Now that Su Ji has brought the reply from the True Immortal of the Golden Cave Sect, he naturally needs to inform the Golden Flame Divine General and the Mysterious Immortal secretly stationed here by the Golden Mountain Sect as soon as possible.

Not long after, Su Ji returned to Jushan from underground, where he was greeted by two more immortal-level figures.

"I had long heard that Fellow Daoist Jin Chan had become a minor immortal in the blessed land of the Golden Cave Sect, and now that I have met him, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary!"

The speaker was none other than Jinxia Immortal of Jinshan Sect. He was the one who stopped the Thousand Transformations Ancestor back then. He was a true Immortal General and the one with the highest hopes of becoming an Immortal Lord in Jinshan Sect.

If it weren't for preventing other sects from using their methods to affect Jinshan Sect's grand plan to cultivate immortal lords, Jinxia Immortal, a dignified immortal general, wouldn't have personally guarded the area outside Jushan.

"Little Golden Toad Fairy, you have achieved so much in just over a year. You truly deserve to be a good friend that your reincarnation, the master's sister, made with such care!"

The one who spoke was General Jin Yan. Although he was highly respected, he was also Mo Linglong's junior disciple in her previous life, and had long been paying attention to Su Ji.

Originally, General Jin Yan only needed to send his divine soldiers to meet the so-called deputy sect master of the Golden Cave Sect before Fairy Zhenyi would officially appear.

However, Jin Yan Shenjiang first considered the relationship between Mo Linglong and Su Ji, and then suspected that Su Ji might be a reincarnation of a deity, so he came to see him in person.

"Greetings, Immortal General Jinxia!"

"Greetings, General Golden Flame!"

Su Ji quickly paid his respects. Jinxia Immortal General might not have been arrogant because of Xuanxian, but Jinyan Divine General was the most prestigious divine general under the Western White Emperor.

Furthermore, due to his status as a god of strength, the Golden Flame God was considered by many immortals and gods as a candidate for the next divine lord under the White Emperor, and was only one step away from the divine position of the Lesser Yang God Lord in Zhang Xiaolian's previous life!
