After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Jiang Ming disappeared from the Great Zhou Dynasty under the guise of traveling.

Meanwhile, overseas, at the place the two had agreed upon, Jiang Ming gently knocked on the door to pay his respects.

I thought that Master Yintian wouldn't be here, but unexpectedly, after only a moment, the old man's familiar voice entered my ears.

Noticing that Jiang Ming had successfully broken through his cultivation level, a look of joy appeared on his face. He chuckled and immediately invited Jiang Ming into his cave for a chat.

After inquiring about the process, he raised an eyebrow.

Although he was surprised by Jiang Ming's smooth journey, he didn't think much of it. After all, the fact that Jiang Ming could break through to the Perfect Purple Mansion Realm at such a young age showed that he had very strong luck.

Their blessings are also very abundant.

It's actually quite normal for someone to achieve this!

"Fellow Daoist Yintian, I would like to ask, are you able to control the situation in Wuyoutian at will?"

To be specific, once you've brought all the Golden Core True Monarchs into the Worry-Free Heaven, and I'm guarding them by your side, could I contact you through your physical body and release some of them to come and help me?

Jiang Ming bluntly voiced his doubts, staring intently at the old man, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

If he could actually accomplish this, the situation would be even more favorable for him.

Lock away the Golden Core cultivators who might pose a threat to you, and release the Golden Core cultivators that are helpful to you, such as Luo Yushu.

At that time, the entire Immortal Pivot will practically be Jiang Ming's personal fiefdom.

"I'm afraid that's impossible. Wuyoutian is actually like a prison, imprisoning me and everyone else."

This situation is due to a problem with the lineage. Because I entered the Golden Core realm ahead of time, I need to repay my debts in the Worry-Free Heaven.

Only when I successfully repay my debts and reach every step required for a normal breakthrough to the Golden Core stage can I unlock the Heaven of No Worries.

After careful calculation, it will probably take several decades, and that's assuming some Golden Core True Monarchs are willing to help me.

Otherwise, I will have no choice but to stall them for a while longer and do my best to perfect my own path to enlightenment.

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, and instantly understood.

This means that even the Hidden Heaven True Man himself cannot fully grasp the situation of Wuyoutian. If he wants to get out of it, he must make up for the effort required to break through to the Golden Core True Monarch realm.

However, by then, most of the Golden Core True Monarchs in the Immortal Book will be coerced by the Hidden Heaven True Man.

If everyone only offers a tiny bit of help, it might be enough for Yin Tian Zhenren to successfully pay off his debts and free Wuyou Tian from his shackles.

This may not take too long.

"In that case, when do you plan to begin your breakthrough, fellow Daoist? Do you need my help?" Jiang Ming asked with a serious expression, feigning curiosity.

"Of course it's necessary. Although I can break through easily, the preparation process will definitely attract a lot of attention."

At that time, I will need your help to mediate between us.

Tell them as many lies as possible to lower their guard.

That way, by the time I've accomplished what I'm supposed to, and they realize what's happening, it will be too late for them to resist, even if they wanted to.

After careful consideration, Master Yintian gave a definite reply.

At the same time, the old man did not hesitate and immediately began to prepare for the breakthrough. The two had agreed on a ten-year timeframe.

This is because ten years is the limit that Yintian Zhenren can sustain.

If he waits until then, he will be only one step away from death. If he tries to break through then, the effect will not be very good. It is better to take advantage of his good condition now and start breaking through directly.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Ming, we're counting on you now. This area is the territory of the Golden-Winged Roc clan. Some cultivators might notice the strange phenomenon and come to question us."

"At that time, I'll need your help to get by. I thank you in advance, and I wish you success in achieving the Golden Core stage after me."

After delivering a passionate speech, the aura of the Hidden Heaven True Man gradually rose.

Then, lightning suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Noticing the commotion, in the distance, in the territory of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, Jin Tao raised his head, preparing to go out and check the situation.

At the same time, a handsome young cultivator stood up behind him and silently followed.

"Let's go together. I haven't had a chance to stretch my limbs since breaking through to the Golden Core stage. It seems there are other cultivators breaking through nearby."

Let's go and see. If this person breaks through and is detrimental to our Golden-Winged Roc clan, we'll take this opportunity to eliminate him.

The one who spoke was Jin Huang, the young master of the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

Last time, he went through countless hardships and finally succeeded in breaking through. Of course, this was inseparable from the help of his ancestral magic weapon.

If he hadn't relied on external aids, he would have died in the heavenly tribulation last time.

However, this is the advantage of overseas traditions; during the breakthrough process, external aids can be used.

Not far away, Jiang Ming sensed the arrival of a Golden Core True Monarch and felt a chill run down his spine. In the past, the Golden Core cultivators he had encountered either did not intend to kill him, or, moreover, like Luo Yushu, even directly engaged in dual cultivation with him.

That is why he has never seen a Golden Core True Monarch make a move.

This does not mean that Jiang Ming is arrogant and unaware of the terror of a Golden Core True Monarch. On the contrary, it is precisely because he has had relatively deep contact with Luo Yushu.

Jiang Ming then gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Golden Core cultivator.

Even if ten Purple Mansion Realm cultivators were to resist a single Golden Core cultivator's attack, they would have no chance of survival.

If the other party really has malicious intent, I probably won't be able to leave today.

However, no disaster warning has appeared, so it seems that today will most likely be peaceful.

As he pondered, Jiang Ming spotted a familiar figure.

The man was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiang Ming.

After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to introduce, "Young Master, this is the rogue cultivator who reminded me last time that there were Dragon Palace cultivators nearby."

Nodding, Jin Huang looked at Jiang Ming and then at Yin Tian Zhenren, who was preparing to break through, with a slight sense of doubt in his heart.

"This old man seems to only have a few years left to live. It's difficult for him to obtain gold in this state. It's a pity that the lineage he cultivates is a bit mixed, so I can't help him. Otherwise, I could have done a small favor."

Last time, you helped me a lot. The Golden-Winged Roc clan always repays kindness. If there's anything you want, tell me right away, and I'll do my best to help you achieve it...

With his head held high and chest puffed out, Jin Huang was beaming with pride. He was only three hundred years old and had already achieved the Golden Core, so he was naturally in a very good mood.

Moreover, Master Yintian could tell at a glance that the chances were slim, and because of this, he gradually lowered his guard and began to talk to Jiang Ming.

It can be seen that Jiang Ming's bone age is very young.

He instantly became interested; if such a talent could be used by the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

Perhaps another Golden Core cultivator will be born in the future.

With this in mind, Jin Huang extended an invitation, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join my Golden-Winged Roc clan as a guest elder?"

After a moment of silence,

Jiang Ming dared not refuse.

In order to buy time, even if Jin Huang were to make him submit, he would have to bite the bullet and accept it.

Fortunately, although this guy is a newly promoted Golden Core True Monarch, he is not too arrogant, and can even be described as very kind.

At the same time, Jin Tao also offered his advice.

"Fellow Daoist, after our last meeting, we hit it off immediately."

Now that you've joined our clan, from this day forward, we'll share both good times and bad!

"Since that's the case, I'm willing to go. However, this senior has some connection with me. He doesn't have much time left to live and wants to make one last attempt before he dies."

According to him, even if he were to die, he wanted to die on the road to seeking gold. He was grateful that the two of you helped protect him and fulfilled his last wish…

Jin Huang was deeply moved by Jiang Ming's sincere words.

At this age, the pursuit of wealth is mostly a matter of living towards death.

Such a person is worthy of respect. He himself almost failed last time. Because of this, Jin Huang did not have the slightest arrogance. He was very clear that his breakthrough was purely due to the foundation of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, plus a bit of luck.

"Alright, I'll help you with this. Jin Tao, you go over there to keep watch. I'll take care of the east and west sides. Fellow Daoist, you keep watch on the south side. We'll look after each other."

In this way, the old man could continue his attempts calmly, regardless of success or failure.

Jiang Ming had no objections to Jin Huang's arrangement.

In a sense, the Hidden Heaven True Man should kowtow to this Golden-Winged Roc. The Golden Core True Monarch personally helped protect him, a privilege that most cultivators in the world could not enjoy.

As everyone dispersed, several Dragon Palace cultivators soon came to check on the situation, including Ao Lang.

This former defeated opponent has now become a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Although it was only in its early stages, it was already imposing and very impressive.

Jiang Ming glanced at him calmly, showing no malice, and, taking advantage of the reputation of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, spoke solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist, this senior is a guest elder of the Golden-Winged Roc clan. He only has a few years left before his demise. Could you please give us the honor of not approaching any further..."

Looking into the distance towards the center of the lightning tribulation, Ao Lang nodded at the white-haired old cultivator. He seemed not to recognize Jiang Ming. A gentle look flashed in his eyes as he nodded earnestly.

"I see. It's a pity that everyone gets old one day."

I understand. We didn't come here to cause trouble; we just sensed the atmosphere here and came to take a look.

"Don't worry, we won't go any further. We'll just watch this senior's breakthrough from here and broaden our horizons. Is that alright...?"

Looking intently at Jiang Ming, Ao Lang's expression was sincere.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming did not make things difficult. According to the Hidden Heaven True Man, the day the tribulation of lightning appeared would be the day he succeeded in obtaining the gold.

Now, the lightning has begun to surge, and it seems that the old man is likely to succeed.

……

"Of course, no problem. Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist." Jiang Ming cupped his hands in greeting and moved closer to the edge of the lightning tribulation.

The Hidden Heaven Immortal's pursuit of gold will not last long; he will soon be dragged into prison by Worry-Free Heaven.

At that time, Jiang Ming must protect his physical body immediately.

Subsequently, this world became his domain.

He must first return to the Great Zhou Dynasty to stabilize the situation.

Once they had completely taken control of the Dao laws of the Immortal Dynasty and turned the Great Zhou Dynasty into their own private domain, they took the opportunity to establish Daoist traditions overseas.

As for Pure Land Buddhism, Jiang Ming has some concerns about this lineage.

Because all the practitioners in the Pure Land can be said to be incarnations of the Buddha, this territory is probably a bit difficult to seize.

However, in order to realize his long-cherished wish, Jiang Ming would not give up even if Buddha blocked his way.

"With bamboo staff and straw sandals, I travel lighter than on horseback; who cares? A straw raincoat and misty rain are all I need for a lifetime. The chilly spring breeze awakens me from my drunken stupor; a slight chill, but the slanting sunlight on the mountaintop welcomes me. Looking back at the desolate place I came from, I return, where there is neither wind nor rain, neither sunshine nor gloom!"

After the first bolt of lightning, no one understood what was happening.

The old man burst into laughter and recited a poem with great gusto. Afterward, the aura of the Hidden Heaven True Man rose rapidly, as if he had taken a rocket ride.

In the blink of an eye, he became an undisputed Golden Core True Lord.

"What? How did he suddenly become a Golden Core cultivator?"

"This... Fellow Daoist, are you lying to me? What's going on?"

Faced with Jin Huang and Ao Lang's questions, Jiang Ming did not answer, but smiled mysteriously, "The Hidden Heaven True Monarch's demeanor is dazzling."

Now, please, esteemed lords, step into the trap!

Looking at Jiang Ming in surprise, Jin Huang finally understood what was going on.

In mid-air, a hazy, mysterious realm suddenly unleashed a terrifying attraction, its immense gravity pulling Jin Huang directly into the air.

"What's going on?" Raising an eyebrow, Jin Tao's face was grim. If he weren't outmatched by Jiang Ming, he would have already been ready to fight to the death.

"Hahaha, it's time for the cultivators of the Purple Mansion in this world to hold their heads high and be human. From this day forward, I will imprison all the True Lords in the world with the Worry-Free Heaven for several decades. I only hope that in the future, all cultivators can become Golden Core cultivators as they wish, without any restrictions!"

"Open the sky, Worry-Free Sky!"

After a stern rebuke, the Hidden Heaven True Man's aura reached its peak.

At the same time, all the True Lords from all directions were drawn to Wuyoutian.

Even a few rascals who had always lived a carefree life in seclusion in their secret realms were forced to come out into the world.

The reason is simple: what Wuyoutian attracts is not cultivators, but the path of cultivation behind them. Unless they give up their own path of cultivation, these Golden Core True Monarchs will be forced to come in.

Inside the imperial city, the Imperial Advisor was discussing state affairs with King Zhou.

The next second, the attraction came, and Luo Yushu instantly realized what was happening, so she stopped struggling.

At the same time, Zhou Jun also felt threatened.

If he doesn't go, the Heavenly Fire Dao Aura will be stripped away. What an overbearing approach! This person is truly insane. Isn't he afraid that once the True Monarchs of the World enter, they will join forces and smash him to pieces?

"By imperial decree of the Great Zhou Emperor, a nation cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Effective immediately, Crown Prince Yuwen Yong ascends the throne and assumes control of the laws and regulations of the Celestial Dynasty!"

After giving his instructions, he went to the Eastern Palace.

The prince's cultivation level was instantly boosted, and at the same time, the attraction also chased after him.

Seeing this, Zhou Jun cursed in astonishment, then looked at Luo Yushu with a grim expression, "Damn it, even a pseudo-Golden Core cultivator whose cultivation was forcibly elevated by the Daoist laws of the Immortal Dynasty cannot be left alive."

What will become of the Great Zhou Dynasty next...?

"The Crown Prince will soon be leaving with us to request His Majesty to appoint another Crown Prince. I will also resign from my position as Imperial Preceptor. In this way, even if the ancient demon altars within the imperial territory show signs of resurgence, future generations can use the laws of the Immortal Dynasty to suppress them..."

With a long sigh, Zhou Jun nodded; this was the only option for now.

With a gentle voice, he announced the appointment of the Third Prince as Crown Prince, but Zhou Jun was already being sucked into Wuyoutian's body first...
