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

After the Dragon War, the Brahma soldiers, due to their significant military achievements, acquired some land in the south from the Prince of Fu and obtained certain privileges.

The fact that Buddhist temples are exempt from taxes alone has created a loophole for some people to evade taxes by attaching themselves to temples.

As a result, in just two years, Brahmanism occupied a large amount of land in various places.

Some people saw the problem, but when they submitted a memorial to the emperor, they were criticized by some officials who believed in Buddhism.

The emperor, however, was not particularly concerned, partly because the Brahmins had behaved relatively well, and partly because the situation was still under control.

Su Ji, however, saw the future: with the power of the Brahma Emperor's path of salvation, even if those Brahma followers only learned one-thousandth of it, it would be enough for the Brahma religion to attract countless believers.

Unfortunately, Su Ji was not an emperor and could only influence the internal workings of the East-West Chamber of Commerce. He not only failed to cooperate deeply with the Brahma religion, but also refused to allow Brahma believers to join.

The Brahma sect seemed to be aware of the power of Su Ji, the Golden Toad General, and had no intention of making enemies; they simply kept to themselves.

Just as Su Ji continued his secluded cultivation, good news suddenly came from Jinfeng County: after so many years of preparation, the Great Sun Spirit Realm Project was finally about to enter its final stage!

Compared to the Bright Moon Wonderland, the Great Sun Spirit Realm suffered a significant loss of its essence due to the earlier "rebellion" of the Earth Yang Serpent Lord, making its restoration somewhat time-consuming and laborious.

Moreover, the previous generation of elves in the Moonlit Wonderland left behind a considerable amount of assets, including the underground Moon Palace and the Laurel Tree, both of which are treasures that greatly contribute to the plan.

As a result, the Great Sun Wonderland Project only began its final sprint today, and Su Ji also put aside his own affairs to fulfill his duties as a divine official of the Wonderland.

In order to advance from the Spirit Realm to the Immortal Realm, in addition to the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, the foundation of the five elements is equally important, and the immortal apertures laid in advance are of paramount importance.

With Su Ji present, the mutual generation and formation of the five elements were at least guaranteed. In addition, with the earth vein array set up by Zhang Gong using the power of [Earth Setting], the Great Sun Immortal Realm advancement plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Soon, the appointed date of the ninth day of the ninth month arrived. Even Su Ji was only 90% confident, but with the arrival of a treasure by Lord Lu Tuo, there was no longer any possibility of failure.

Looking at the branch of the Fusang Divine Tree, the Earth Serpent King couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "It's actually a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree, a treasure of the Sun God Kingdom! Even if there were some unexpected events during the advancement process, it can make up for it!"

With this branch of Fusang, the Earth Yang Serpent Lord's confidence soared, and he performed beyond his usual level, helping the Great Sun Spirit Realm advance and even breaking through to the Immortal Spirit level in one fell swoop.

Just as Su Ji was comprehending the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Realm during his advancement to the Great Sun Immortal Realm, Lord Lu Tuo waved his hand, and the Fusang branch fell into the Great Sun Immortal Realm. It quickly took root there and one day it will advance to the level of a precious earth-treasure spiritual root, just like the laurel.

Immediately, the hibiscus branches seemed to absorb the power of the Great Sun Immortal Realm, and countless roots grew rapidly, intertwining with the surrounding five-colored spiritual materials.

Once the Great Sun Immortal Realm was fully formed, the Fusang Divine Tree also took the opportunity to become a precious spiritual root. After completing his comprehension, Su Ji turned his attention to the area below the Fusang Divine Tree, where the five elements and the yang attribute intersected, making it the best place to comprehend the yang aspect of the five elements.

Therefore, Su Ji went into seclusion again, and did not even personally collect the rewards from the City God pantheon.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Buddhism had spread all over the world, with the south being the most affected, and one of the most affected continents even having nearly a thousand temples!

Even the emperor felt somewhat too powerful to control.

However, with the war intensifying in the northern frontier, the emperor did not want to shake the foundations of the regime, so he could only exercise some patience.

The arrival of winter eased the fighting, and Su Ji emerged from seclusion. At this point, Su Ji had finally comprehended the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, and thoroughly mastered the related [Root Methods]. He only needed to integrate the three major [Root Methods] to possess the power of an invincible immortal general.

When Su Ji emerged from seclusion, he discovered that the outside world had undergone many changes.

After years of cultivation, Zhang Gong actually managed to refine the Xuanxian Dao Fruit with the help of the profound [Earth Setting], becoming another Xuanxian in the Earth God system.

In this way, Zhang Gong became one of the divine officials of the Five Elements Immortal Realm of Dazhen Prefecture and actively participated in the Five Elements Immortal Realm's advancement plan.

Even Su Ji couldn't help but sigh, the cultivation partner who had introduced him to the path had finally achieved enlightenment!
As for Zhang Xiaolian, after cultivating three Lesser Dao Fruits with the help of the Bright Moon Immortal Realm in her early years, she has been cultivating in seclusion. Because many people speculate that Su Ji is related to the Lesser Yin Divine Lord, the two rarely come into contact.

It wasn't until the Western Emperor, who was suspected to be the Lesser Yin God, defeated the Southern Emperor and took control of the capital that Zhang Xiaolian was able to resume her usual routine. However, Su Ji was not the kind of person who stayed at home to cultivate as before, so the two of them still rarely met.

Now that Su Ji has emerged from seclusion, everyone has finally gathered together. After tea and meals, Su Ji also had a private talk with Zhang Xiaolian.

In reality, once Zhang Xiaolian mastered the Dao Fruit of the mortal world, she gained a dominant position, and the so-called Underground Blood Moon and Toad Palace Immortal Shadow had little influence.

After several years of cultivation, Zhang Xiaolian has gradually mastered the other six Lesser Path Fruits. Now all she lacks is an opportunity.

Su Ji, already aware of the current state of the Golden Cave Wonderland, directly assured him: "The Golden Cave Wonderland has a profound foundation and has absorbed the power of the Undying Demon Lord. It should be able to advance to a mid-level blessed land by March or April next year!"

The Great Sun Immortal Realm Project only received support from the City God pantheon, but the Golden Cave Immortal Realm Advancement Project received support from the Heavenly Court, which is why it progressed so quickly.

Once the Golden Cave Immortal Realm advances, it can take the opportunity to open the Immortal Aperture to the ancient array, thus obtaining a passage to enter and exit.

This outcome is very beneficial to the creatures of the Golden Cave Wonderland. More importantly, it provides Zhang Xiaolian with a secluded space to control the other six Lesser Dao Fruits.

At that time, with the medium-sized blessed land and ancient array concealing it, even the Taiyin Emperor and the Moon Queen would find it difficult to sense anything.

Thanks to the efforts of Su Ji and the gods of Heaven, the Golden Cave Wonderland did indeed begin to undergo some transformation in early March.

The transformation from a primary-level blessed land to a secondary-level one is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. It is a gradual transformation from the inside out, during which some unusual phenomena will occur, and it will take at least a month.

The Heavenly Court immediately dispatched additional personnel to prevent the Undying Demon Lord from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. Su Ji also kept watch at the constantly healing gap in the Golden Cave Wonderland, remaining vigilant about the depths underground.

Unexpectedly, just two days later, bad news suddenly came from the northern frontier: the northern barbarians disregarded the resistance of the General of the North's troops and marched directly towards the Central Plains.

The route headed northwest, which bypassed the core defensive positions of the General of the North. Next, they only needed to cross two states to reach the eastern part of Yuzhou.

At this time, although Yuzhou was no longer the imperial city, it was still a very important place, and Dazhen Prefecture was even called Xijing.

Of course, the foreign tribes could also march from Yuzhou eastward towards the capital. The route is a plain stretching for thousands of miles, and it is entirely possible that they could launch a surprise attack and storm into the capital.

The imperial court was greatly alarmed, and even began to make plans to evacuate the capital in order to protect the emperor.

"What was bound to happen has finally happened!" Su Ji couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, just as [Golden Cave Wonderland] was being promoted to a mid-level blessed land, the northern barbarian tribes' target was neither Yuzhou nor the capital, but the Undying Demon Lord suppressed beneath the White Rock Mountains! (End of Chapter)
