"This, I dare not, I dare not..." The Blood Blade Ancestor reluctantly put down the long sword in his hand. Although he wanted to kill Jiang Ming to eliminate future troubles, he dared not disobey the Tongzhou Prefect in the slightest.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the prefect isn't particularly powerful and can't unleash the true might of the Heavenly Fire; you still dare to disobey his orders.

Zhou Jun's Heavenly Fire is about to strike.

At that time, even cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm will be reduced to ashes, without any suspense.

"Hmph, use Ba Hui less often in the future. This ferocious beast is not a benevolent creature. Although it can solve your temporary difficulties, it will also bring corresponding hidden dangers."

Legend has it that if you summon the Ba Hui too many times, it will cross the void to meet you. At that time, you will be devoured by it and become a part of it…” After giving this reminder, Yuwen Huai’an glanced at the Blood Blade Ancestor, his eyes full of torture intent.

"In Tongzhou, we should still value harmony. The Five Spirits Sect's performance today has truly disappointed me."

From this day forward, the leaders of these five sects will be temporarily appointed by the Myriad Laws Sect…”

After announcing his orders, Yuwen Huai'an left with Jiang Ming, with Cangwu Zhenren following behind, secretly overjoyed.

The Wanfa Sect gained power, and the Daowen Sect also shed its reputation as the worst-performing sect in ten thousand years. All of this is thanks to Jiang Ming.

Although summoning Ba Hui was indeed somewhat of a shortcut.

However, not just anyone can summon the Ba Hui.

One must possess extremely strong qi and blood, and sufficient cultivation, to attract the attention of this overlord from beyond the realm.

By being able to accomplish this and demonstrate a portion of Ba Hui's true abilities, Jiang Ming can already be considered an extraordinary genius.

This boy must not be offended.

After pondering silently for a while, Master Cangwu regretted not having a daughter or granddaughter; otherwise, he would definitely have arranged for the two families to become even closer through marriage.

"Alright, now that you're back at the Myriad Laws Sect, you're safe."

It's best to stay home as much as possible these days. I can take care of you for a while, but I can't take care of you forever.

"The Blood Saber Ancestor is a very vengeful person, so you'd better watch yourself..." After giving this meaningful reminder, Yuwen Huai'an left leisurely.

He cupped his hands in a respectful bow and gave a deep salute.

Jiang Ming took his disciple out of the flying boat and instructed the elders of the sect to help treat him.

Although we won this time, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

Many of these eighth-level disciples are now seriously injured.

Moreover, under the influence of the Ba Hui's power, the wound was slow to heal.

Even using a large number of healing pills was to no avail.

Faced with his disciples' cries of agony, Jiang Ming showed a look of pity. "I have seen all of your sacrifices."

I will absolutely not keep this honor to myself!

Starting today, all disciples who have used the Ba Hui spell can receive an extra 300 contribution points every day!

Disciples participating in this competition will receive an extra 100 contribution points each day.

After giving his instructions, the injured disciples were visibly agitated.

Tangible benefits are far more useful than encouragement.

300 contribution points per day, that's 9000 per month.

With extra income every month, their cultivation can proceed even more smoothly.

The disciple who failed to summon Ba Hui looked utterly helpless.

In fact, it's not because they're cowardly or afraid to use it.

They did use it, but Ba Hui ignored them...

"Alright, let's go back and heal our wounds," Jiang Ming sighed, dismissed the crowd, and followed Cangwu Zhenren to the outside of the Wanfa Sect's main hall.

Looking at the black aura surrounding Jiang Mingfa, Cangwu raised an eyebrow and estimated, "It will probably take three years to disappear."

Although the Ba Hui is powerful, it's best to use it sparingly...

"Alas, in this vast universe, there are countless experts, yet there is still a ferocious beast whose strength is comparable to that of the Golden Core realm."

"Master Cangwu, do you know if there are any other Daoist traditions in this world besides the Great Zhou, the Buddhist Kingdom, and overseas?"

Jiang Ming was deeply impressed by the power of the Ba Hui. He couldn't help but re-examine this world.

What level of cultivation is required to stand at the top of this world?

"Gu Nanzhi, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, comes from Sanqing Mountain. This is also a lineage of Taoism, and its cultivation method is completely different from that of our Great Zhou."

However, since becoming the Imperial Preceptor, he has rarely shown his skills at Sanqing Mountain, and according to rumors...

The Imperial Preceptor's strength is probably no less than that of the monarch, because she is a Golden Core cultivator from two different lineages, and has even studied some unorthodox practices.

The reason for its wide range of interests seems to be that it aims to attain the Nascent Soul stage...

Jiang Ming had spurred him on, and Master Cangwu didn't hold back, taking the initiative to tell some inside stories.

"I've heard that all the secret realms of the Great Zhou Dynasty are controlled within the imperial city. What kind of resources are contained in these secret realms?" he asked curiously.

But then he saw that Master Cangwu looked on with longing, "There are many good things here, but ordinary people can't enter the secret realm."

Only with Zhou Jun's permission can one freely enter and exit.

Fewer than a hundred cultivators from the Great Zhou Dynasty are allowed to enter, and most of them are Zhou Jun's confidants. We probably won't have a chance.

However, you might be handsome and exceptionally talented. Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you might be invited to enter the imperial city to listen to the Imperial Preceptor's teachings.

"At that time, I might have the opportunity to get to know some princes and grandsons of the emperor. If I can become a prince consort, entering the secret realm will naturally be easier..."

Looking at Jiang Ming with envy, Master Cangwu revealed a hint of sincerity, "Alas, youth is the greatest asset."

At my age, I'm no longer able to do many things.

The progress of cultivation is slow, and even if one obtains a treasure, the efficiency of refining techniques is not as good as before. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.

"While you're young and have plenty of resources, give it your all and strive to reach the pinnacle as soon as possible. Only then can you truly establish yourself in this world." After offering this encouragement, Master Cangwu took his leave.

After seeing him off, Jiang Ming silently repaired his Dharma body, which had been eroded by the black energy, in his cave. At the same time, good news came from the little black snake.

"Jiang Ming, I have already occupied the Refining Secret Realm. There are about two million living beings inside."

Although some lacked the aptitude for cultivation, the rest were still barely capable.

"As long as you can provide enough resources, I can help you spread the Daoist tradition, and then you'll be on the verge of Foundation Establishment!"

The little black snake spoke with pride, but Jiang Ming found it extremely difficult to handle.

With hundreds of thousands of cultivators, such a large number could certainly support his lineage and enable him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, training these disciples and achieving the integration of the five elements is no easy task; if you look closely, the resources consumed are probably enormous.

Even with Jiang Ming's current wealth, he probably can't afford to spend it all.

"Why don't you borrow some so you can reach the Foundation Establishment stage sooner and condense your metal element? Then you'll have all five metal elements within you."

Killing that Blood Blade Ancestor was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

If you kill the Five Spirits Sect's strongest backer, then you'll have complete control over the Five Spirits Sect's resources, won't you?

"Then we can just make up for the deficit..."

Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture!

Currently, among the five major sects, the Myriad Laws Sect and the Inquiry Sect belong to the same faction. If they want to borrow a large amount of resources, they can only ask True Person Cangwu.

However, the Dao Asking Sect itself was already dirt poor, so it was already quite generous of them for Jiang Ming to offer assistance.

"Ao Shu, Cheng Ya, Ye Tao, and Han Yue, have all the Foundation Establishment cultivators around you contribute some blood, and with the foundation of the Myriad Laws Sect, it should be possible to accomplish this."

"Once you break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment and seize the resources of the Shuiyue Sect and Qingfu Sect, you can just return them..." The little black snake encouraged dismissively, enjoying the spectacle.

But Jiang Ming felt that this matter was probably difficult to accomplish, and asking others to go all in on all the resources was really asking too much of them.

That's it.

Let's give it a try.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ming decided to send Ao Shu to the other party's cave.

Ao Shu was bathing in a tub, her fair body revealing her radiant beauty.

Standing up nonchalantly, Ao Shu looked Jiang Ming over with some concern, "What happened to your injury? Did something go wrong during my months of seclusion?"

"Shu'er, I need some resources, the more the better." Jiang Ming said calmly, though he was somewhat embarrassed.

Asking a woman for so many resources made him feel really embarrassed.

"For the sake of perfecting Foundation Establishment? Fine, these resources probably wouldn't be enough to support my breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage even if I kept them."

If you can reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, I will also benefit from it. Unfortunately, I don't have many good things on me right now.

"Here's a storage bag. Take whatever you need..." He generously handed over his entire fortune.

Jiang Ming felt a warmth in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he asked Ao Shu to visit Cheng Ya and Ye Tao.

Nodding, Ao Shu embraced him naked, her eyes filled with burning tenderness. "Go for it, they should do their best to help..."

After hastily dressing, Ao Shu turned and left.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming went to visit Han Yue.

As the newly appointed Supreme Elder of the Myriad Laws Sect, she is responsible for training disciples. Nowadays, besides cultivating, she is busy helping Jiang Ming calculate expenses, keeping her extremely busy all day long.

"Fellow Daoist Han Yue, I need your help. I need some resources right now, and I'm afraid I'll have to use your entire fortune..."

Han Yue reluctantly made the request, her expression turning strange.

He then chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying, "I offered it to you before, but you didn't want it. Now you've come to me again. It seems you've really run into trouble."

Sure, I can give you my partner's share too.

However, I encountered a problem when I switched to your lineage, and you have to help me solve it…”

Two storage bags were quickly tossed over.

Han Yue stated the problem directly, "Why can't I consistently achieve the step of integrating the Five Elements?"

After glancing at her and grasping Han Yue's wrist, Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and immediately understood the reason: "It's a problem with the physical body."

You and I have made the same choice, using several of the strongest fruit positions. Since that's the case, you'll need a strong physique to support it. I have a cultivation manual here; take it and try it out.

He handed over a body-strengthening technique, revealing all of Han Yue's thoughts.

She had considered many reasons, but she never expected it to be such a simple one. "I understand, thank you."

"After deducting the sect's operating expenses, how many spare resources does the Myriad Laws Sect have left?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's question, Han Yue felt a chill run down her spine. She stared at him intently, her face full of worry. "Are you playing this big game?"

"Alright, let me calculate. It'll probably cost around twenty million spirit stones. Any more than that would affect the sect's operations."

Jiang Ming nodded, stretched out his hand, and looked determined.

"Give it to me. You should hurry up and switch to the Daoist lineage. After I've accomplished my task, you might be able to touch the threshold of perfection..."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue had no doubts.

Although she had only known Jiang Ming for a short time, she knew that he was not a frivolous person who liked to boast and lie.

Since they dared to speak up, it means this matter is most likely feasible.

"Ahem, I have some resources here that I use to support my cultivation, I'll give them to you as well." She took out a new storage bag, somewhat embarrassed.

Han Yue felt slightly ashamed of keeping her secret.

Jiang Ming didn't seem to care.

It's normal to be a little wary of someone who isn't your Daoist partner.

The fact that the other party is willing to lend us resources is already very good.

He should be thanking them for this extra bonus.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han Yue. I'll take my leave now." After bidding farewell to Han Yue, Jiang Ming went to the treasury and took away 20 million spirit stones.

The sheer number of items caused a slight change in the expression of the two elders responsible for guarding the treasury.

If Jiang Ming weren't the pillar of the Wanfa Sect...

They all suspected that Jiang Ming was planning to abscond with the money.

After obtaining the resources, Jiang Ming poured them all into the Refining Secret Realm. At the same time, he instructed the little black snake to investigate further before giving the resources to him.

After all, many cultivators in the Refining Realm were exiled there, and they all had significant mental and psychological problems.

"Don't worry, I can still tell whether a person is good or bad."

"These resources will not be wasted." After making this confident statement, the little black snake immediately began distributing the resources.

Within the secret realm of cultivation, many disciples whose cultivation had stalled immediately showed their joy upon receiving this gift.

The Refining Realm is different from the outside world. Here, you can find any cultivation resources you want!

Although it's called a secret realm, most of the time it's comparable to a prison.

Now that resources are available, many cultivators showed a different expression on their faces, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.

"Those who can switch to the Daoist lineage will receive the highest reward and will also be granted their freedom..." He was very familiar with the situation in the secret realm of cultivation.

The little black snake's first words hit the nail on the head.

Many disciples were excited and immediately began to study Jiang Ming's lineage.

At the same time, Ye Tao and Cheng Ya also arrived at the Wanfa Sect with their own feelings.

"The Ye family has set aside a year's worth of expenses and brought the remaining resources, totaling 30 million spirit stones." Wen He handed over several storage bags.

Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised by Ye Tao's generosity; such a large amount of resources was no small sum for the family.

Ye Tao has most likely gone all in.

"I brought all the things in the Cheng family's treasury that would be helpful for cultivation," Cheng Ya said with a bright smile, not to be outdone.

Seeing that the two of them had staked their entire fortunes on helping him, Jiang Ming felt a warmth in his heart and decided to repay them with his own life.

In an instant, the room was filled with the sounds of birdsong and the vibrant energy of spring.

Practice makes perfect.

Previously, apart from Ao Shu, Ye Tao and Cheng Ya couldn't accept sleeping together under the same blanket, but now they are much more open-minded, teasing each other from time to time and enjoying themselves.

After several days of playing and frolicking, Tuoba Youyou, who had successfully established his foundation, returned.

As soon as she returned, she took the initiative to visit Jiang Ming.

Hearing the strange noises outside the cave, she immediately concealed her presence with the earthen rhyme of the city wall, and then slunk away...
