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

Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.

Upon hearing Dao Zun's explanation, Jian Jun was momentarily stunned, then revealed a look of relief. No wonder, Yuan Chu Zhi Sheng was always stingy, so his willingness to spend so many resources to support a newcomer clearly indicated that he had ulterior motives.

However, her initial idea was completely wrong.

She thought that Jiang Ming was just a suitable replacement that the Primordial Sage had found over a long period of time. She never expected that Jiang Ming was actually an incarnation of the Primordial Sage.

The concept of clones is not unfamiliar to those who are Nascent Soul cultivators, because before creating a Nascent Soul, one must achieve the perfection of the Dao Heart. The perfection of the Dao Heart will trigger a phenomenon called Yin-Yang Misalignment, which means that a person's Yin and Yang personalities will separate and form two clones.

During the Nascent Soul stage, everyone will compete for resources until only one remains, which is one of the most troublesome things in the early stages of Nascent Soul cultivation.

"This is very troublesome. The Primordial Saint Dao Lord cultivates the Predestined Fate. If Jiang Ming becomes a Nascent Soul, it will be exactly what he wants. Once the Predestined Fate reaches a high level, he will have more choices."

"At least dealing with us before we transcend shouldn't be too difficult..."

"You know what he's going to do, but how to defend against it? Now that destiny is under his control, it has become the most powerful of the five great celestial numbers. The current Primordial Saint has at least three paths to transcendence that he can try."

Although we have our own plans, we are ultimately just copying what others have said.

If he turns his back on us, we can only lie low and wait for another opportunity…

With a soft sigh, a hint of bewilderment appeared on Sword Lord's usually aloof face.

"Sigh, I will use my destiny to take good care of Jiang Ming recently."

Even if Yuan Chu suddenly changes his mind, at least there's still the option of reducing the amount of money to achieve a balance.

Nodding, the Daoist Master remained noncommittal, and fell silent, seemingly making some unknown plans.

……

At that time, in the world of Sword Spirit.

Jiang Ming, who had reached the peak of his Golden Core cultivation, was contemplating his next step.

Currently, his strength is probably already top-tier among Golden Core cultivators. Whether he can become a Nascent Soul cultivator next depends on the attitude of those important figures.

……

The road ahead is long and arduous.

Jiang Ming squeezed Murong Xue's soft, boneless waist and kissed her, pressing his advantage. Murong Xue, who was already disarmed, had a flushed face and a faint breath.

A subtle, alluring glint flickered in her eyes. "You're here again? You never seem to tire..."

"Is it comfortable?"

"You know perfectly well why..." Embarrassed, Murong Xue pinched Jiang Ming and turned her head away. His body floated like ocean waves.

After a long while, Jiang Ming lost interest.

Having left the Sword Spirit Realm, worried that something might happen to Immortal Pivot while he was away, he didn't dare linger there for too long.

Xian Shu, Tongzhou.

Everything was as peaceful as before.

Upon returning here, Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Great Zhou Dynasty had become very stable.

The overseas monks are quite sensible.

After a moment of reflection, Jiang Ming immediately set off back to the capital.

Now, with the help of abundant resources, Cheng Ya has successfully obtained her place in the Daoquan Fruit Market.

This position is known for its mildness.

Otherwise, given Cheng Ya's aptitude, the probability of failure and death is very high. Ye Tao, since it is not yet certain which fruit position she should cultivate, has stagnated at the Purple Mansion Perfection stage.

Looking at Cheng Ya, whose cultivation level was once inferior to her own, her beautiful eyes were filled with envy.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ming gave his judgment.

"Flatland Wood, this is also a very powerful Wood element fruit position. If you really have no direction, you might as well give this a try."

After a moment of silence, Ye Tao shook her head slightly, "No, I've inquired. The True Monarch of Pingdimu is at the late Golden Core stage. You were originally going to deal with Zhou Jun anyway."

One late-stage Golden Core cultivator is already enough of a headache for you, two would be far too much of a burden. I can't be a drag on you..."

"..." Jiang Ming chuckled. He had originally thought that Ye Tao was hesitant because she was too picky, but now he realized that this silly girl was afraid of implicating him.

"Don't worry, I've already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. Even if they come back, I can barely protect myself..."

Jiang Ming's words surprised Ye Tao slightly.

She had imagined many comforting words from Jiang Ming, but she never expected to receive this reply.

The Golden Core stage is at its peak, which is considered the strongest level of cultivation in the Immortal Pivot. Even some old monsters have only reached this level.

"You're barely managing to protect yourself, and you're quite modest. Do you want us to praise you?" Hearing Jiang Ming's subtle boasting, Cheng Ya smiled and gave him a reproachful glare.

After being exposed, Jiang Ming calmly stepped forward, sealed Cheng Ya's cultivation, then undressed, a hint of majesty flashing in his eyes.

"I told you not to talk back, open your mouth..."

Seeing this, Ye Tao stuck out her tongue and immediately tried to make a run for it.

The next second, however, they were pulled back by an invisible force.

Deep within the palace, two beauties chatted intimately, their words echoing each other's sentiments.

After stretching comfortably, Jiang Ming thought long and hard, then decided to get down to business.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was powerful for two reasons: first, because of the Fruit-Rank Grotto-Heaven Cultivation Method, and second, because of the Dao Laws of the Immortal Dynasty.

This treasure can be used to adjust the fate of others.

In other words, Jiang Ming can use this treasure to cultivate his own loyal followers. When the time comes, even if the Heaven of No Worries opens, those cultivators whose positions have been taken by his own followers will only be able to flee in disgrace.

"Alright, you guys take a break..."

He waved his hand, letting Cheng Ya and Ye Tao leave. The two looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sister Cheng Ya is really greedy..." After teasing her, Ye Tao made a move to leave, but Cheng Ya was now a Golden Core cultivator and would not let Ye Tao win the argument.

With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Ye Tao back. Cheng Ya imitated Jiang Ming, affectionately rubbing Ye Tao's breasts with her fair hands.

"Phew, Ye Tao, I must say, it feels really good to squeeze like this..."

Constrained by Cheng Ya's strength, Ye Tao could only pout and sulk in frustration. Seeing this, Jiang Ming didn't say anything more.

He calmly left, letting the two of them joke and bicker to their hearts' content.

Anyway, this isn't the first time something like this has happened...

at that time.

In the carefree heaven, Zhou Jun's expression grew increasingly agitated.

He had just learned that Jiang Ming had also seized the Imperial Preceptor's Dao of Destiny, and had offended two of the most outstanding Golden Core cultivators. Jiang Ming was now courting death.

Having silently sentenced Jiang Ming to death in his heart, Zhou Jun felt much better.

If it were just him alone, he might be a little uncertain, but with Luo Yushu added to the mix, the outcome was no longer in doubt.

With the two of them working together, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator wouldn't be able to leave alive...

Unless Jiang Ming reaches the peak of the Golden Core stage, but how could that be possible...?

Deep within the Worry-Free Heaven, the aura of the Hidden Heaven True Monarch was already very close to stabilizing, because Luo Yushu had given up cultivation.

Many treasures that would otherwise have had to be kept hidden were given to him.

He was only lacking treasures to begin with, but now, with this newfound advantage, he's like a fish in water, a tiger with wings. He's just one step away from becoming a Golden Core True Monarch.

"Thank you for your help over the past few days. Without the resources you provided, I would never have been able to succeed so quickly."

Right now, in at most another year, I'll be able to start living a carefree life...

I can let you leave earlier.

Then I'll leave Xian Shu, so I won't be in your way...

"I can leave early, but leaving the Immortal Pivot is unnecessary."

Do you still remember the Five Elements cultivator you made a promise with?

His current strength is probably close to perfection...

Upon hearing this, the smile of the Hidden Heaven True Monarch froze for a moment.

It wasn't out of jealousy towards Jiang Ming; he was simply shocked by Luo Yushu's words.

What a joke! I survived like a maggot in the Wuyou Heaven, barely reaching the early stage of Golden Core cultivation. How could Jiang Ming have already reached the peak of Golden Core?

"Could there be a mistake? How could it be so fast..."

While expressing a slight skepticism, Hidden Heaven True Monarch, though acknowledging Luo Yushu's formidable strength, could not readily believe that Jiang Ming's cultivation had truly reached perfection.

After all, this was simply too horrifying.

Zhou Jun is still in the later stages.

How did Jiang Ming achieve the Golden Core Perfection?

Is there any justice in this world?

……

"Believe it or not, I think my judgment is correct. Stabilize your cultivation as soon as possible and release me."

When the time is right, you will unlock the Heaven of No Worries.

He calmly gave a reply, and a hint of anticipation appeared in Luo Yushu's eyes.

She was curious to see just how strong Jiang Ming had become, given that he had been chosen by multiple Nascent Soul cultivators...

Spring came and autumn went, and through his efforts, Jiang Ming successfully won over the vast majority of the forces within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now that these people have seen Jiang Ming's perfect Golden Core cultivation, they are no longer as calm as before, and they all wish they could rush over and grovel.

She was afraid that if she arrived late, she wouldn't leave a good impression on Jiang Ming.

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Ming fully realizes the advantages of being strong.

Having strength not only earns you respect from others, but also enhances the strength of those around you. With his help, Zhou Yi also became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although the old man never imagined that he could become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Jiang Ming provided him with so many resources that he easily crossed the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

Wang Yousheng is now only one step away from reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

At first, he didn't understand what Jiang Ming's current cultivation level meant, and naively said that he would leave the Foundation Establishment opportunity to his daughter.

Little did he know that for him at the moment, who would become a Foundation Establishment cultivator was nothing more than a trivial matter.

It's too relaxing, so boring...

Ok?

Jiang Ming's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression turned strange.

Just now, he suddenly detected a trace of aura, which seemed to be at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Although it was only fleeting, he still managed to capture that moment and pinpoint the other party's location.

Although he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage was someone he needed to be extremely wary of.

I just don't know why the other person's aura feels so familiar...

"You're quite skilled. I used a magic item to conceal my aura and cause and effect, but you still managed to detect me. You've grown very quickly during this time; your cultivation has already caught up with mine..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Ming was slightly surprised.

This voice is both gentle and firm, and carries a familiar and mature charm.

"Imperial Advisor? How did you get out? Has the Heaven of No Worries already been opened?"

Jiang Ming spoke with surprise, slightly astonished. He didn't recall Hidden Heaven True Monarch mentioning that the Worry-Free Heaven could be opened ahead of schedule.

"I gave him a lot of resources, so he had prior knowledge of Wuyoutian and was naturally able to accomplish this task."

However, he cannot restrain the other True Lords for too long; at most, it will be three years.

But with your current cultivation level, it seems you no longer need him to activate the Heaven of No Worries. Tell me, what has happened during this time...?

"Grand Preceptor, it seems I have usurped your path to destiny, though I did not do it intentionally..."

"I know." Luo Yushu nodded calmly, her composed expression slightly surprising Jiang Ming.

However, seeing how clever the other party was, he was naturally happy to have more conversation with him.

……

After a long conversation, Luo Yushu nodded, his eyes showing more certainty, "It seems that you are indeed the most suitable candidate for the path of destiny."

However, there's one thing you need to be careful about: you can believe what a Nascent Soul cultivator says, but you can't believe it completely, otherwise you'll definitely suffer losses.

Of course, this is not something we can consider right now. Without sufficient cultivation, even Golden Core cultivators are just pawns…

With a sigh, Jiang Ming remained noncommittal.

"How is Wuyoutian doing? How is Zhou Jun's strength now?"

Luo Yushu glanced at Jiang Ming calmly and chuckled, "You're still worried about him? There's no need for that."

Heavenly Fire can only grow stronger under the nourishment of the imperial dynasty.

In the Heaven of No Worries, his strength improvement is severely limited, and he is currently only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

As a discarded pawn of a Nascent Soul cultivator, his path forward is already cut off, you no longer need to worry about him…”

"I'll contact True Lord Yintian and ask him to find a suitable opportunity to contact Wuyoutian. Then, we can put an end to this once and for all..."

Calmly stating his intentions, Luo Yushu remained noncommittal, glancing in the direction of the imperial city and calculating with his fingers, "Your luck is very strong, stronger than mine and Zhou Jun's."

If we had to measure it, the two of us would be a cup, and the rest of you would be a bottle. But you're still a little short of the mark. To achieve the Nascent Soul stage, you need to at least improve your luck.

"Once you defeat Zhou Jun, you'll be able to seize his destiny. At that time, it should be time for you to achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

Silently offering her judgment, Luo Yushu bid farewell to Jiang Ming and returned to the imperial city, where she made some arrangements.

Regardless of whether Zhou Jun's power has waned, he must stand on Jiang Ming's side. After all, the previous investments and future hopes all rest on Jiang Ming, and he cannot sit idly by and watch the two fight.

……

"Fellow Daoist Yintian, I have already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. In three days, you will dispel the Wuyou Heaven and teleport Zhou Jun overseas, while the other True Monarchs will disperse. Can you accomplish this?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's summons in the Worry-Free Heaven, True Monarch Yintian was suddenly stunned. But the thought that he wouldn't have to leave the Immortal Pivot filled him with joy and surprise. "Fellow Daoist, you can do it! You can definitely do it!"

Please wait for my news in three days…
