The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

The Underworld Lord gently shook the teacup, and the scalding hot tea instantly froze into ice.

"Lord Ji Qingyun is a relative of the former commander Lu Xiao, and he also inherited the army of the Luo Sect. You should be aware of the relationship between the Luo Sect and our sect, right?"

"Originating from the same source but flowing in different directions, the torch is passed down from generation to generation."

Cooperation should naturally aim to find common ground. As for the early days of the Heavenly Principle Sect, when it was forced into exile by the Luo Sect to the harsh northern lands...

Not to mention.

Besides, they're successful now, so bringing these things up would just be asking for trouble.

The Underworld Lord nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Ji Chen's reply.

With a good start, the two got along better and better.

As the two became more talkative, Ji Chen vaguely sensed something was wrong.

This Underworld Lord seems to be trying to persuade me to switch to a religious sect.

The Lord of the Underworld realized that this thin veil was growing thinner and thinner, to the point where it was absolutely necessary to intervene. So he coughed lightly and said:

"Commander Ji hasn't officially inherited the title of Altar Master of the Luo Sect yet, has he? Of course, now that you're a Grandmaster, you can drop the title of Altar Master and become the Sect Master."

"No." Ji Chen became increasingly certain that the kid opposite him was a persuader trying to recruit him into the cult.

The Lord of the Underworld leaned forward and solemnly said:

"Does Commander Ji have any plans to join my sect?"

"The Luo sect and my sect share the same origin. You haven't formally joined the Luo sect, so no one in the world will say anything about this change of allegiance?"

"Moreover, once you join the sect, your status will be equal to mine, and the most powerful sect leader in the world, Master Lin, will groom you as his successor. You can read the sect's scriptures at will, and you can command the sect's people at your disposal."

Ji Chen was startled after hearing this.

Even if it's worth a fortune to buy a horse's bones, the price is still too high.

He couldn't help but ask:

"What will you do if I become the heir? Will you be happy with that?"

The Underworld Lord's face darkened; he really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

"I... will naturally follow the leader's orders and will do my best to assist him in the future."

The Lord of the Underworld may be unwilling, but he has lived in the shadow of the cult leader Lin Chaosheng since childhood, and Lin Chaosheng has in fact become his faith.

He believed everything Lin Chaosheng, the cult leader, said and did. He would carry out whatever Lin Chaosheng said, no matter how outrageous the operation was.

Ji Chen closed his eyes, contemplating the gains and losses.

The Lord of the Underworld waited quietly, without the slightest impatience.

"And the price? With so many benefits, surely joining the church isn't the only condition?"

"...Yes, you also need to support the leader in becoming the emperor who unifies the nine provinces, or at least not hinder him."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen knew he was in trouble.

His goal was not to find a new emperor for Kyushu.

"Why would Emperor Lin have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor? Wouldn't all that mental and physical exertion hinder his spiritual practice?"

"I don't know either, but the leader must have his reasons for wanting to be emperor. He said that being emperor is also part of spiritual practice."

broken.

Ji Chen knew that he would most likely have to clash with this Emperor Lin in the future.

Since they've already brought up cultivation, their paths are in conflict, and they're destined to fight each other.

However, even with his current strength, he might not be able to secure a victory against the Underworld Lord, let alone Lin Chaosheng, who could tame the Underworld Lord so easily.

His apostle hasn't reached its limit yet, and his sphere of influence needs the strength of this apostle to maintain itself. Now is not a good time to clash with the world's top experts.

"Your Excellency, I would like to consider this for a few days..."

After sending the Underworld Lord away, Ji Chen went into hiding in Guangling City.

The only thing he can do now is—

drag!

Time will only be on his side, not on these masters and the most outstanding martial artists who are struggling to improve.

Within dimensional space.

Ji Chen started sculpting a character again.

Of course, before that, we need to take a look at his dimensional point reserves.

[Dimensional Points: 1542]

Then there's the interference level of the Heavenly Demon.

[Calculating the fluctuations in timeline, fateline, etc. caused by this arrival...]

Taking all factors into account, the interference rate of this demonic intervention is 43%.

[... ...] (In the future, the presentation of future information will be less emphasized, and more attention will be paid to the degree of interference itself.)

"This time, I have further crippled Qing Ting's forces, essentially freeing the area south of the Yangtze River from Qing Ting's control. In effect, the south is showing signs of the rise of warlords like at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Qing Ting's fate is sealed!"

"Perhaps Qingting can still cling to life for a while, but the best outcome would be either the Western Yuan or the Western Liao."

Even so, Ji Chen's level of interference did not reach 50%.

"But that should be enough. These interference levels have allowed my dimensional space to collect a large number of information particles, greatly enriching my talent card pool."

Ji Chen looked at the dense information particles in the dimensional space and rubbed his hands together in satisfaction.

With these, what are the talents of Taoist masters? And what about the talents of a Buddha reincarnation...?

The Buddha's large bag was a bit too big; Ji Chen doubted that his current small Karami Heavenly Demon could contain it.

It remains the same 100-point base apostle model.

Then, make minor adjustments to the face during the pinching process.

Having had the experience of communicating with other superhumans in the main world and receiving instruction from the Celestial Master, Ji Chen's understanding of martial arts talent has greatly improved.

Those who are born with a strong physique are not necessarily blessed with good physical constitution.

Having good genes doesn't guarantee a long and successful career.

This time, Ji Chen focused more on inner strength and naturalness when sculpting the figures.

In the deep, dark, and chaotic dimensional space of the Heavenly Demon, time quietly passed.

The features of the second generation of apostles gradually took shape.

The apostle on the panel has a detached and indifferent quality, with eyes like stars but not too bright, giving a sense of "etherealness".

At first glance, his face wasn't particularly striking, but the more you looked at him, the more captivating he became, exuding a profound Daoist charm.

"It's a pity that this appearance doesn't match the strong muscles; forcing a combination will only ruin the mood."

Ji Chen examined the apostle closely; these minor flaws could not ultimately conceal the extraordinary charm of his masterpiece.

[Dimensional Points: 1309]

Perhaps due to its deeper structural components, this minor adjustment was quite expensive.

Before drawing the card, Ji Chen, as usual, first paid homage to the ancient Greek god who controlled the luck of dogs.

"Come on, let me shine!"

Then... ...

Ji Chen went all in, drawing five times in a row.

[Current Template]

【HP: 147】

[Attributes: Strength 12, Constitution 13, Agility 12, Perception 19, Spirit 19, Energy 2]

The second-generation apostles possessed five talents, but four or five of them could only be used in the mortal realm and were of little benefit to cultivation.

Only the first three talents, imbued with an otherworldly quality, made Ji Chen's eyes light up when he saw them.

"Leaving aside the fact that eating the wind and drinking the dew only adds two points of energy to the initial template, the first two talents... feel like they've already reached the ceiling of the anti-Qing world, especially the first one, which is an advanced level that I don't understand."

Ji Chen felt confident that he had the upper hand.

If the second-generation apostle's talent is not enough to sweep across an entire realm this time, he might as well just buy a block of soft tofu and smash his head against it.
