Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

Compared to the turmoil in most people's hearts, those who were close to Jiang Ming were all very happy.

As Jiang Ming's guide on his path to immortality, Zhou Yi's face was full of smiles, his aged face as radiant as a chrysanthemum.

Who could have imagined that a disciple he promoted from the outer blacksmith's workshop would reach this point?

Thanks to Jiang Ming's care over the years, Zhou Yi has lived many more years and his cultivation has improved. Although he is still some distance from the Foundation Establishment Realm, he is already very satisfied with this.

"Brother Jiang became emperor?"

Wang Yousheng, who had once worked in the blacksmith's workshop with Jiang Ming, was filled with astonishment after hearing the broadcast of the Daoist laws of the Immortal Dynasty.

This matter sounded so shocking that even though he knew Jiang Ming's cultivation was very high and he could be considered a prominent figure in the entire dynasty, he was still unaware of the truth.

However, he never imagined that he would become emperor and the most powerful cultivator in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Back then, he even asked Jiang Ming to mentor his own daughter.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ming had too many things to do and couldn't take care of her, so the task eventually fell back to Zhou Yi.

Now, his daughter has only just reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, which is already considered fast. However, Jiang Ming has become the strongest person in the Great Zhou Dynasty and is about to reach the Golden Core Realm.

If Wang Yousheng hadn't experienced cultivation, he might not have known what it meant, but the hardships and setbacks along the way had given him a very profound understanding of cultivation.

Most cultivators in this world are unable to establish their foundation, let alone break through to the Golden Core realm.

"Brother Jiang is really amazing. All of us are so successful in our lives because of him."

……

at that time.

The Cheng family of Tongzhou was inundated with visitors, all of whom were opportunistic and fickle. Although they knew Jiang Ming was powerful, they had never actually visited him before.

But no one expected him to be so powerful. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has been completely transformed and has become his domain.

The Cheng family has a great connection with Jiang Ming. If they can gain some benefits through this relationship, their families may be able to take another step forward and become a powerful clan in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Brother Cheng, please grant my request! Once Jiang Ming returns to Tongzhou, I would be grateful if you could introduce him to me. I am willing to give away all my wealth to support him in ruling the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Remaining silent, the Cheng family patriarch felt immense pressure.

With Jiang Ming's current status, how could he dare to take on so many important matters on his own initiative?

After a moment's thought, he shook his head and rejected the requests from several families in succession.

"I can't make that decision either. You should all wait until Jiang Ming arrives in Tongzhou and then talk to him in person."

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming, far away in the imperial city, also saw many cultivators who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Most of these people were nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, holding extremely high positions.

This is why they receive the most benefits through the laws of the Immortal Dynasty.

Many cultivators obtained their cultivation through the laws of the Immortal Dynasty. Because of this, they dared not have any thoughts of resistance, since whoever held the laws of the Immortal Dynasty held their interests.

If they were to fall out with Jiang Ming for some so-called greater good, their positions would be in jeopardy, something no one wants to see.

The reason these people are able to maintain their wealth and status is because they know how to adapt to changing circumstances.

They'll help whoever wins, and whoever can bring them more benefits.

And this person is clearly Jiang Ming.

In the Golden Palace, Jiang Ming sat casually on the dragon throne, looking at the group of cultivators below the stage with a calm expression in his eyes.

"Gentlemen, do you have any objections to me taking charge of the Great Zhou?"

As soon as the words were spoken, no one spoke for a long time. In the end, a few sycophants knelt on the ground and were the first to express their opinions.

"Long live the Emperor! We are willing to obey your commands. From now on, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be ruled by the Jiang family."

As soon as the first person started flattering him, the others immediately followed suit, afraid of falling behind. This displeased Jiang Ming.

Looking at the group of people scrambling to get ahead, Jiang Ming smiled faintly and made no reaction.

At this moment, he was immersed in the feedback from the Daoist laws of the Immortal Dynasty.

Whoever masters the laws of the Immortal Dynasty is the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and whoever is the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty can hold the position of Heavenly Fire.

For this reason, Jiang Ming's fortune has reached its peak. As he has become the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty and holds the Heavenly Fire Fruit position, he has also changed his former aloofness.

He had taken the initiative to show him favor, and now, if he wished, he could start breaking through to the Golden Core Realm at any time and try to become the Heavenly Fire True Monarch.

However, such a breakthrough was clearly not what he wanted.

However, such a breakthrough was clearly not what he wanted.

The Heavenly Fire rank originates from the Rank Cave Heaven cultivation system, which has a very promising future.

If he breaks through within the Great Zhou Dynasty, his strength will be comparable to that of the former Zhou ruler.

However, if Jiang Ming incorporates the Four Seas into his territory before breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, he will definitely reap more benefits when he breaks through.

The mysterious flavor of the Heavenly Fire fruit can be brought out to its best, so his top priority is to stabilize the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty before setting sail.

He brought the remaining forces under his rule.

"As I've said before, I'm only temporarily assuming this throne. I don't crave power; my main reason for temporarily taking over is to enhance my own strength."

To prevent the seals on the ancient demon altars within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty from being damaged.

This matter is of utmost importance and deserves your utmost attention and vigilance.

All prefecture and county governors, listen to my command: from this day forward, immediately increase manpower to guard the ancient demon altar.

At the same time, no cultivator is allowed to approach that area easily. As for the other ministers, they should be reinstated to their original positions and continue to perform their duties.

"From this day forward, the Third Prince will oversee the state. I will be embarking on a voyage to eliminate external threats. When I return, the Great Zhou Dynasty will undoubtedly reap the greatest benefits."

Just as Jiang Mingzhi was feeling triumphant, high in the sky, amidst the vast sea of ​​stars, on the mountain peak that seemed to have no top, halfway up the mountain, a voice suddenly rang out.

His voice was cold and tinged with a hint of skepticism.

"Yuan Chu, you're almost there, why continue your schemes? Isn't he capable of replacing you?"

"That's not enough. When I created the Cave Heaven Fruit Position Method, I also incorporated the Five Supreme Fruit Positions into my own lineage."

Although the Great Forest Tree position went awry, causing my dark side to occupy that position and I can no longer contact it, in order to achieve my goal of reducing emptiness, I must make this kid possess all five supreme positions simultaneously.

He has only gained the approval of Heavenly Fire so far; he's not quite confident about the others yet. In my opinion, I still need to do something more.

He calmly stated his purpose, his voice ethereal and otherworldly from the mountaintop, sounding almost sacred.

The cultivator halfway up the mountain was clearly not satisfied with this answer. He remained silent for a while before letting out a soft sigh, "You mean you want us to help you?"

Are you really expecting us to pay a real price for a vague promise you've made? Aren't you being incredibly unrealistic?

"I didn't force you. In fact, even without your help, my plan could still be easily realized. The reason I'm willing to involve you is simply to expand the scope of the other side."

In the vast sea of ​​stars, Nascent Soul cultivators are high above. If they want to ascend to the upper realm without being bound by constraints, they must take an unconventional path. My method is to find a substitute to take my place, thereby allowing me to ascend to the upper realm.

If you don't want to ascend to heaven in the future, then you can stay here for the rest of your lives.

If sitting here scheming against those lowly cultivators is your lifelong hobby, then I have nothing to say.

Upon hearing this, the voice from halfway up the mountain fell silent, and after a long while, it gave an affirmative answer.

"Don't underestimate us. Which of us cultivators doesn't want to advance further?"

Being trapped here means we can only make plans but can't act easily, which is definitely not what we want. Since that's the case, I'll trust you one more time. Brahma Palace will make concessions, and then this area can also be occupied by Jiang Ming.

However, I cannot make any guarantees regarding the Pure Land, since the Buddha's methods are quite unique.

Whether Jiang Ming can win is still unknown. Yuan Chu, don't be too careless. Although Buddha is a latecomer, his cultivation has been very stable over the years. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he is considered top-tier. Although there is still some gap compared to us, he should not be underestimated.

"Don't worry, I've already planned this out, and Buddha will help. Of course, this is on the premise that my pawn can defeat his projection; otherwise, Buddha probably won't continue to support my plan."

After he finished speaking silently, the void fell silent once more. At the same time, Jiang Ming swaggered out to sea.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is now practically his domain, and no one can resist him. To further expand his influence, he must start with the familiar overseas regions.

The main overseas forces are the Dragon Palace and the Myriad Stars Alliance. As a gathering place for rogue cultivators, the Myriad Stars Alliance is relatively easy to take over. After all, once the main headquarters is captured, they will immediately obey orders.

The Dragon Palace is different. These descendants of the dragons are still quite arrogant. If you can't defeat them and make them submit, you'll probably not get what you want.

The most urgent task is to deal with the Dragon Palace.

In the ancestral land of the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

Jin Tao has gained a certain degree of influence through his own means. Although he is not the strongest in the clan, he has won the support of many people because of his serious and meticulous personality.

Right now, all he needs is Jiang Ming to help him eliminate that opponent, and he can completely control the Golden-Winged Roc clan. At that time, the overseas territory of the Golden-Winged Roc clan will also belong to Jiang Ming.

Not being particularly familiar with the Dragon Palace, Jiang Ming first went to the Golden-Winged Roc clan to visit Jin Tao and hear his opinion.

Upon learning that he was in trouble, Jiang Ming casually eliminated the only cultivator in the Golden-Winged Roc clan who had reached the Purple Mansion Realm Perfection stage.

Although both were at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, the cultivation methods of the demon race were vastly different from those of the Fruit Position Cave Heaven system. In just one exchange, Jiang Ming easily killed him.

Of course, in order for Jin Tao to have enough say in the clan, Jiang Ming's actions were all done in secret.

They also intentionally or unintentionally diverted the trouble to the Dragon Palace.

To make the Golden-Winged Roc clan believe that these things were all caused by the Dragon Palace, and that they had come specifically to resolve the issue in order to control their overseas forces, they wanted to take away the Golden-Winged Roc clan's only Purple Mansion Perfection expert.

After all, in this way, the Golden-Winged Roc clan is like a headless fly, only able to buzz around aimlessly, unable to find the right direction.

After telling his clansmen this conclusion, most of them chose to believe it. Jin Tao also took this opportunity to become the true leader of the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

Many things he never dared to imagine before have now become reality.

As the head of the clan, he has the right to priority in reproduction.

For this reason, he showed no mercy and took many of his former unapproachable celestial sisters into his harem, where they happily multiplied and thrived.

The demon beast race does not value reproduction.

Getting things done takes only a few breaths.

As long as he could leave behind offspring, feelings and such weren't that important. So, after leaving behind his own children, Jin Tao immediately rushed over to meet Jiang Ming.

They were afraid of missing the opportunity and not being able to become a Golden Core cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you sure you don't want to start your breakthrough? What if other Golden Core True Monarchs appear? Wouldn't our situation become passive?"

"Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, anyone who wishes to ascend the throne must obtain my permission; otherwise, I can rush back to intervene immediately."

Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty had no concerns. As for the Pure Land, the Buddha himself controlled all the cultivators there, and he could display his Golden Core realm cultivation at any time if he wished.

Therefore, this place has the deepest water, and I don't plan to deal with it for now. The Dragon Palace is relatively simpler.

I need you to tell me about the Dragon Palace. After that, I will begin to take action against them, striving to bring the overseas regions into my territory as soon as possible.

"At that time, I can begin to work on my breakthrough."

After calmly stating his thoughts, Jin Tao immediately understood, nodded, and looked at him with admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is truly farsighted; I am no match for you."

I am very familiar with the Dragon Palace. They now only have five people at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, and each of them is stationed in a different sea area.

That's precisely why we can tackle them one by one.

Nodding, Jiang Ming gestured for Jin Tao to lead the way, and then immediately headed to the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Go and meet Ao Lie, the strongest cultivator in the West Sea Dragon Palace at present, who is at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm.

This is a veteran powerhouse in the Dragon Palace, and one of the oldest members of the generation. Because of this, the possibility of him breaking through is extremely slim.

So when Jiang Ming arrived, the old man was still indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery...
