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

Despite their incredible speed, the other Dragon Kings of the Dragon Palace arrived too late.

As soon as I arrived, I smelled the scent of dragon's blood.

None of them wanted to see this scene.

The other three dragon kings of the dragon palaces are both male and female.

The leader was a woman with an imposing presence, who appeared to hold a high position in the clan.

"You have quite the audacity, taking advantage of my Dragon Palace's weakness to kick me when I'm down and kill one of my Dragon Kings. Do you really think that after the Golden Core cultivators went into seclusion, the Dragon Palace has fallen into decline and is no longer able to govern this overseas region?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Ming calmly cast a glance, his words causing the three Dragon Palace cultivators to change color in shock.

He glared fiercely at Jiang Ming. Although the cost of using his trump card was very high, the die was cast and he had no choice but to act.

"Good lad, I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you."

"Since that's the case, then taste the power of the Dragon Palace! Let's see how you withstand a strike from a Golden Core True Monarch!"

After a cold rebuke, the leading female cultivator immediately prepared to attack.

"Is Ao Shu your daughter?"

Jiang Ming asked casually, and the more he looked at this female cultivator, the more familiar she seemed. After a little thought, he indeed discovered that she was different from others.

This person bears a striking resemblance to Ao Shu.

Especially those almond-shaped eyes, they're practically identical.

Upon hearing her daughter's name, the leading female cultivator was visibly taken aback.

Behind him, two of his clansmen hurriedly urged him on, afraid of losing the opportunity to kill Jiang Ming. "Oh dear, Ao Lan, that girl Shu'er is long dead. This kid must know something about the Dragon Palace and is deliberately trying to trick you."

Once we've killed him, skinned him alive, and thoroughly searched his soul, we'll know all his secrets...

Nodding, Ao Lan, who had been hesitant, finally made up her mind.

While her daughter was certainly important to her, Jiang Ming, being an outsider, was someone whose words were hard for her to believe.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ming didn't say anything, but he had already made a mental classification: apart from Ao Lan, the others could all be killed.

A dog that bites doesn't bark. Before taking action, Jiang Ming always kept quiet about his trump cards.

The Dragon Palace has its own foundation and background.

It's just calling in reinforcements, right? Anyone can do that!

The Dragon Palace has the full force of the Golden Core True Monarch's attack, and I also have the wholehearted assistance of Ba Hui!

He suddenly slammed the Dao-Cheng Yin Xuan Mansion in his hand toward himself.

Upon seeing this scene, the Dragon Palace cultivators exchanged bewildered glances.

As the saying goes, "a trade is like a mountain," and they didn't know much about the magic of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But seeing Jiang Ming suddenly harm himself, they could roughly guess what kind of spell it was—a spell that could attack others by harming oneself.

"Something's not right with this kid, act quickly!" Before the words were even finished.

In mid-air, a figure that blotted out half the sky suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes—it was the phantom of a giant serpent.

The phantom of the Ba Hui that Jiang Ming summoned when he reached the peak of his Foundation Establishment was completely different from the enormous figure that now blots out the sky.

Previously, perhaps because Jiang Ming was too weak, the power of this move did not give people much pressure. But now it is very different. Just looking at the phantom of Ba Hui has brought great pressure to the Dragon Palace cultivators.

In an instant, a sense of impending death washed over them, leaving the three of them momentarily unsure of what to do.

As the leader of the three, Ao Lan's expression was uncertain. After a long silence, he ultimately did not reveal the Dragon Palace's trump card.

"Ao Lan! What are you doing? Why did you put away the Dragon Pearl at this critical moment? Do you want us all to die here?"

"Ba Hui is Dao Jun's mount. The fact that it can display such power is obviously at Dao Jun's behest."

Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are willing to help this person; our chances of winning are far too low. Let's talk to him first.

As long as the conditions aren't too unreasonable, just agree to them.

With a solemn expression, he transmitted his voice to the two elders beside him.

Although the two men had their doubts, they ultimately did not question Ao Lan's judgment.

After all, Ao Lan was a Golden Core cultivator, and she knew more about the secrets of the cultivation world.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop your supernatural powers. The Dragon Palace is willing to talk to you. If we continue to argue, it will not be good for any of us."

"Tell us your purpose. As long as it's not too outrageous, we'll accept it..." Blinking her watery eyes, Ao Lan was already preparing to slide to her knees. Seeing this, Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the other party was not stubborn and obstinate; otherwise, he would probably have had to be killed today.

He wouldn't know how to explain it to Ao Shu then.

"From this day forward, the Dragon Palace shall obey my commands and be incorporated into the territory of the Great Zhou."

After calmly explaining his intentions...

Ao Lan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the two elders beside her.

The three exchanged glances and began to discuss their plan in secret.

"No way, is this kid crazy? He showed up with Ba Hui so early, and we could have talked to him! We just wasted Ao Lie's life."

"Hey, he's still just a kid. Although his cultivation level is high, he knows very little about the unspoken rules of the cultivation world."

The Golden Core realm has only temporarily disappeared; it's not like it's gone forever. When all the Golden Core cultivators return to their positions in the future, how will this farce be judged?

"Let him be. From today onwards, the Dragon Palace will temporarily listen to him. Once the Golden Core is restored, this brat will be in for a world of trouble."

……

After some discussion, Ao Lan relayed the message.

A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. "Fellow Daoist, the Dragon Palace has no objection to this matter. From today onwards, we will follow your orders."

However, could you tell me why you mentioned Ao Shu earlier?

To be honest, this girl is my daughter. She was kidnapped by human cultivators many years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown...

"She is at the Wanfa Sect in Tongzhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you wish to see her, you can go there at any time..."

Jiang Ming didn't directly reveal that Ao Shu had been kidnapped by herself; he concealed part of the truth.

Upon hearing this, Ao Lan nodded, a deep sense of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But the thought that Jiang Ming probably didn't have anything to covet from her gradually eased her mind.

"Alright, in that case, I'll go take a look. This token is the key to all the formations in the Dragon Palace. With it, you can enter each Dragon Palace without any hindrance."

If you need any resources, just take them.

There's just one thing I hope you can do in cooperation.

That is, do not harm the descendants of my dragon race.

Dragon Palace Technique never wants to see another clash of arms like today.

To be frank, the cultivators of the Dragon Palace are not afraid of death.

Because the lineage of the Dragon King can easily revive one's fellow beings...

Jiang Ming nodded, not entirely convinced by what he was saying.

If he could truly resurrect his clansmen at will, these three wouldn't have been so eager to fight him the moment they met. Resurrection would likely come at a price, and that price would be considerable.

The renowned author, Yuji Siming Zhenjun, has joined Cola Novels with his new work, "Starting from Exorcising Evil and Eliminating Disasters to Ascend to Immortality Through Ten Thousand Tribulations"!

Having made his judgment, Jiang Ming did not offer further explanation.

He brought Ao Lan to the Wanfa Sect, and after meeting Ao Shu, he let the mother and daughter talk, and then waited outside on his own.

Although Ryugu has verbally expressed its cooperation.

However, Jiang Ming remained deeply wary of this cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, as such a level of cultivation was capable of disrupting the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If Ao Lan harbors ulterior motives and steals the Great Zhou Dynasty after I leave, then all my plans will have been in vain.

"Mother, I'm so sorry, so much time has passed and I haven't been able to visit you..."

"Alright, silly girl, I understand. It's a bit unwise of you to switch to the Daoist tradition if you stay in the Dragon Palace."

Your achievements now are no less than mine.

Ao Lan gently patted Ao Shu's head, his eyes filled with affection.

After a careful conversation, she learned part of Jiang Ming's plan and pondered deeply, gradually forming a judgment about Jiang Ming outside the cave.

"This young man has grand ambitions. If he can succeed, it will indeed be a great opportunity for you."

However, without cultivating to become a Dragon King, a descendant of the dragon race cannot break through to the Golden Core stage; this is something you cannot avoid.

With a sigh, Ao Lan tapped his forehead, then retrieved a small portion of his memories and handed it to his beloved daughter.

"If you had returned to the Dragon Palace sooner, I would have passed this on to you long ago."

However, this is acceptable nowadays. The world is vast and full of wonders, and there are many different cultivation systems in this world.

"If you can grasp more of these points, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation..."

After explaining everything carefully, Ao Lan pondered for a moment and then suggested, "Come back to the Dragon Palace with me. Now that all the Golden Core True Monarchs are gone, Mother can make decisions in the Dragon Palace."

Many treasures are available for you to use.

After a moment of internal struggle, Ao Shu nodded, not refusing her mother's kindness, and left the cave. A hint of excitement appeared in her eyes. "Jiang Lang, I need to go back to the Dragon Palace."

"Alright, with Han Yue in charge of the Myriad Laws Sect now, there's no need for you to stay behind."

"Go on ahead without worry. My next stop is the Brahma Palace."

Although Jiang Ming did not hide his true intentions from Ao Lan's face.

After all, his purpose was very clear.

With a little thought, any cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm can understand it.

Deliberately trying to cover it up is truly clownish behavior.

It's better to just say it clearly and concisely.

"Dao Palace? This place might be a bit difficult. They are all very stubborn and inflexible."

You'll find it very difficult to get them to surrender.

Jiang Ming was, after all, her son-in-law, so Ao Lan did not hide anything and frankly told him what she knew.

"According to you, I should give up the Brahma Palace?" Jiang Ming asked bluntly, somewhat surprised.

"Not only that, if I were you, I wouldn't even set my sights on the Pure Land or the Taoist Palace."

After all, the Pure Land has the Buddha presiding over it; to win is equivalent to defeating the Buddha at the same level.

The Dao Palace is even more sinister. Each person in the three directions of Heaven, Earth, and Man has their own taboos. If you're not careful, they'll come and fight you to the death…”

Based on his impressions, Ao Lan patiently offered a few reminders, and then gave his own suggestions.

There might be some pleasant surprises then.

After a long silence, Jiang Ming did not think the matter was feasible.

He had once communicated with the Imperial Advisor and knew more about celestial fire than Ao Lan, who was an outsider.

Once this level of attainment is achieved, the Daoist path is essentially fixed. If one fails to bring the Pure Land and Daoist temples under one's wing, in the future, within the Pure Land and Daoist temples...

Jiang Ming's Heavenly Fire would be several times weaker.

Conversely, if Jiang Ming first fortifies the entire Immortal Pivot into an impenetrable fortress, making it completely obedient to his commands, then the majesty of the Heavenly Fire after the breakthrough will be even more terrifying.

Although I don't intend to follow the other person's advice.

However, he was willing to appreciate well-intentioned reminders.

"Thank you Tai Shui..."

She nodded, seemingly realizing that Jiang Ming had not changed his mind.

Ao Lan stopped trying to persuade him.

Everyone's path is different.

Blindly following others' advice will not lead you far on your path.

Only by relying on oneself and achieving enlightenment can one find the most correct and suitable path for oneself.

"Alright, I'll take Shuer away for a few days. That'll give you more freedom to get things done."

Ao Lan realized that he was being monitored.

Jiang Ming's face remained neither red nor pale as he watched her leave.

He then prepared to leave for the Brahma Palace.

……

Tongzhou, the ancient demon altar.

A surge of black energy suddenly erupted, instantly causing the guard's expression to change drastically, and he was enveloped in fear.

Without hesitation, he immediately set off to notify the experts to come over.

Shortly after, Yuwen Huai'an in the prefectural city received the news.

His expression immediately became tense.

Although the Golden Core True Monarchs of the Immortal Pivot were all taken away by Wuyoutian.

However, the ancient demons are different. These guys have been coveting the Immortal Pivot for a long time, and now that they've finally seized the opportunity, they probably won't give up easily.

If not handled properly, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty risks falling into enemy hands.

"Has the seal loosened at all?"

"No, the seal is still secure, but the black energy keeps seeping in. In a while, the seal will probably break."

Nodding silently, Yuwen Huai'an set off immediately to visit Jiang Ming without hesitation.

The School of Ten Thousand Laws.

After exchanging a few words with Yuwen Huai'an, Jiang Ming immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

If things go wrong, the Great Zhou Dynasty risks its downfall.

"Let's go, there's no time to lose, let's see what the situation is like first."

Jiang Ming always harbored some reservations about Yuwen Huai'an's subordinates, as these cultivators were ultimately too weak and their judgment in certain situations was not accurate enough.

Although they said the seal was secure, it was still unknown whether it was truly secure. Jiang Ming could only be at ease after seeing it for himself.

We must not take the matter of the ancient demons lightly, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain.

With swift movements, Jiang Ming arrived outside the ancient demon seal in Tongzhou. He examined the intact seal and gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the situation is terrible, there is still a chance to salvage it.

If the seal is broken, the danger will be immense. Even Jiang Ming won't be able to reverse the situation then.

After reinforcing the seal, Jiang Ming's mood grew increasingly heavy.

Time is running out for him; he must bring the Pure Land and Brahma Palace into the Great Zhou territory as soon as possible!
