Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Wang Quan, Ruo Jinghong, and others, across the realms of life and death, worked together.

A quarter of an hour...

Half an hour...

One hour...

Click!

A beam of light shot into the sky from the five-colored altar in the underworld.

It pierced through the realms of Yin and Yang, landing on the five-colored altar in the real world.

In the next instant, the two five-colored altars began to rotate together; one rotated clockwise and the other counterclockwise.

The beam of light connecting the altar disappeared.

At this moment, Wang Quan had a feeling that he could instantly enter and exit the real world and the underworld through this altar in the blink of an eye, without having to prepare cumbersome rituals.

Whoosh!

Golden lotuses bloom one by one.

One by one, descendants of ghosts and gods emerged from it.

However, the number of the descendants of ghosts and gods who came out was more than a third less than those who went in.

These descendants of ghosts and gods, not seeing their familiar companions, immediately changed their expressions.

They immediately realized that their companions had perished.

But... it's okay, because they're still alive.

And they live a fulfilling life.

Because just as they stepped out of the golden lotus, they discovered that their bloodline had become purer and their strength had increased significantly.

"Although some of my comrades died, I've become stronger!"

"It must have been those friends who nourished me with their lives."

"If...if all of this is true, then I'll bring some more companions over so that Fellow Daoist Scattering Flowers can continue to release the Golden Lotus."

"Will it be possible to continuously enhance my bloodline then?"

"Can you make me revert to my ancestral state?"

The Taoist priest with two crows had golden eyes.

He casually pushed open the reluctant doorman's door and stared intently at Wang Quan: "Fellow Daoist, could you perhaps perform the Golden Lotus ritual again?"

Wang Quan instantly understood its intention: "Okay!"

"However, you should prepare more living beings; and I can't guarantee whether you'll be able to emerge alive from the golden lotus next time!"

The Taoist priest Liangya chuckled, "If you can get out alive this time, you can do it next time too."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Okay!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

The next moment, without waiting for the Two Crows Taoist to respond, his thoughts shifted, and he instantly disappeared from the Underworld, returning to the real world.

Back to the real world:

The next instant, his identity token rose into the air.

At the same time, the identity tokens of all the cultivators and even the spirits who had just helped were trembling.

The numerous cultivators and spirits, instead of checking their own tokens, all turned their attention to Wang Quan's token.

at this time:

A golden light swept in from the teleportation hall of Stone City, enveloping the token.

In the next instant, the token of Wang Quan's identity emerged from the inside out, producing a large number of mechanical structures such as gears and linkages.

Click!Click!

The gears rotate, and the connecting rods collide.

The palm-sized token grew to the size of a washbasin in just a few breaths, then expanded to over ten feet in size before rapidly shrinking back down.

At this moment, the phantom images of fairies and palace maids emerged from the token.

They scattered flower petals, sang and danced, and worshipped the token.

It might be one breath, or it might be a hundred breaths.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

By the time everyone came to their senses, the token was already in Wang Quan's hands.

call!

Many people unconsciously exhaled a sigh of relief, wondering if the Royal Power Token had been upgraded.

At that very moment, all living beings in Stone City heard a loud mechanical voice:

[Stone City establishes a Yin Mansion outpost, causing its city ranking to rise!]

Stone City is the 3,909th city to establish a base in the Underworld!

[Due to the special nature of the Underworld stronghold, Stone City was exempt from the points limit, and its ranking reached 3,909th.]

[Stone City's permissions have changed!]

At that moment, the sound abruptly stopped.

The ordinary spirits, new cultivators, and even orthodox cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm in Stone City didn't feel anything.

What does the change in authority in Stone City have to do with them?

It's okay!

However, the orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators and all Daoist cultivators were immediately in an uproar.

Orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with many new-style cultivators and spirits, were curious about the issue of permissions: "Let's go take a look!"

call out!call out!call out!

A series of streaks of light headed straight for the mission hall; they wanted to check what the latest permissions for Stone City were.

The Daoist cultivators did not go.

Everyone remained where they were, guarding the throne.

At this moment, all the cultivators heading to the mission hall were stopped:

[Insufficient permissions; unauthorized entry will result in immediate execution!]

The identity tokens issued a warning, and many cultivators stopped abruptly:

"Damn it, those top-tier cultivators didn't come. We don't have the authorization to get in!"

Just then, a stone mill spirit rolled all the way in.

A legitimate Foundation Establishment cultivator asked in astonishment, "How did you get in?"

The stone mill spirit said smugly, "I rolled the foundation for you gentlemen, and then my status and privileges were upgraded."

"So naturally you can come in!"

puff!

One of the orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators coughed up blood: "The Way of Heaven is unjust!"

"The big shots are being unfair!"

"Unfair distribution of authority!"

"I risked my life to clear abnormal climates, I refined spiritual veins, and I regulated the earth's veins. I gave so much, yet I don't even get as much benefit as you did for laying the foundation for some important person?"

Is there any fairness left?

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators remained silent.

At this moment, the Stone Mill Spirit rushed to the front, hopping and skipping around to check the changes in the Stone City's permissions.

A cultivator loudly inquired, "Fellow Daoist, what authority does Stone City possess?"

The stone mill spirit was taken aback: "You're asking me?"

"Um!"

The stone mill spirit shook its body frantically: "I am just a spirit, unworthy to be your fellow Daoists."

The cultivator laughed heartily: "Your luck is incredible; you've obtained Level 1 authority, which is higher than ours."

"It's only natural that we address you as a fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, the Stone Mill Spirit burst into tears.

Ding ding ding!

Tears the size of peanuts fell, turning into pebbles with a tinkling sound: "I, a mere spirit, am actually addressed as a fellow Daoist by a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"Father, Mother, your daughter has made something of herself!"

"Ancestors, under my guidance, your ancestral graves will begin to emit auspicious smoke!"

"Ha ha.....!"

The stone mill spirit started crying and then laughing.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators twitched at the corners of their mouths. They wanted to reprimand the stone mill spirit and tell him to check his permissions immediately.

They opened their mouths, but dared not say a harsh word. They could only gently advise it to consider the current status of Stone City's authority.

The stone mill spirit calmed himself, took a deep breath, checked his permissions, and then shouted:

Your current permissions are too low to view this content!

Everyone........

The stone mill spirit continued chanting:

Your current permissions are too low to view this content!

The crowd remained silent.

After the stone mill spirit recited seven or eight lines, a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't help but say, "Recite what you can see!"

"oh!"

Shi Nianjing took a deep breath, then looked at the last few lines and shouted:

Stone City can unconditionally replenish one million new cultivators, ten million martial artists, and ten million spirits daily.

[Stone City can unconditionally replenish one million orthodox Qi Refining Realm cultivators and ten thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators daily!]
