Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

After the first wave, Changqin and the Seven Fiend Sword Puppets were gone.

The nine Eight Tribulation Loose Immortals survived the first wave because they were in the formation and possessed great strength.

He then gave a wry smile, saying that he absolutely could not withstand the second wave.

Apart from Yuan Lingzi, the remaining eight rogue immortals all slapped their heads.

Their forms and bodies dissipated, and all their pure power flowed into Yuan Lingzi's body, including the merits gained from resolving the great calamity of heaven and earth.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Lingzi absorbed all the gifts from his fellow Daoists.

Then, with the reduction of merit, the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation was rapidly weakened, becoming only a few times stronger than the tribulation required to transform into a Void Immortal.

Yuan Lingzi passed through easily.

Immediately afterwards, a hole was torn open in the middle of the million-mile-long tribulation clouds, and a passage of seven-colored light was formed, which led Yuan Lingzi to the upper realm.

After the calamity, the world within a million miles centered on Huangji Mountain was completely cleared.

This is a tribulation for cultivators, and has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Therefore, the lives of ordinary people within a million li radius of Huangji Mountain were not disturbed.

But cultivators are different. From Mahayana to Qi Refining, as long as they are cultivators, whether they are martial artists, Confucian scholars, or immortal cultivators, they cannot escape it.

They don't even need the heavenly tribulation to strike; the residual power alone is enough to kill them and annihilate them.

However, those with high cultivation levels have generally already withdrawn from the calamity's range when it is about to begin.

Those who cannot escape can only say that it is their fate.

Lin Zhu followed the main group to Huangji Mountain, which had been ravaged by a great calamity.

At this time, there were no cultivators left on Mount Huangji.

Zhao Lin, the Prince of Kao Shan, quickly occupied the area and then addressed the surrounding people, saying, "Gentlemen, this is the land of my Zhao family. Please do me a favor."

"Hmph!" Yu Yao snorted coldly, "Your Zhao family's land? Tens of thousands of years ago, this was the Li family's land. So what? If you want Huangji Mountain, you need to have enough strength."

"You!" Zhao Lin pointed at Yu Yao with his right index and middle fingers together.

The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense.

Lin Zhu ignored the conflict between the two and instead searched the surrounding area to see if he could find any fragments of the Seven Fiends Sword.

The Seven Fiend Swords are fierce swords that are almost beyond the level of supreme treasures. If fragments of them can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, their material properties will definitely be of great benefit to the Dragon Soul Sword.

He took out the Dragon Soul Sword and communicated with it.

With a roar, the Dragon Soul Sword carried him swooping down to the northwest, where he saw a fragment the size of a thumb.

It was a fragment of the long eye of the Seven Fiends Sword.

Under the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, the Seven Fiend Swords lost their malevolent aura, leaving only their material essence.

It's essentially purified.

Lin Zhu picked it up and saw the natural barrier on the fragment, which contained the resilience of wood.

With this first piece, the remaining six pieces were subsequently found by the Dragon Soul Sword.

The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang—are all present.

Lin Zhu felt that if he could integrate these seven fragments into the Dragon Soul Sword, it would definitely transform the Dragon Soul Sword.

It should be understood that the supreme treasure is the embryo of an acquired spiritual treasure, not the embryo of a celestial artifact.

Every treasure is imbued with spirituality by the creation of heaven and earth.

However, in the current Chenxuan Realm, it is unlikely that the existence of an acquired spiritual treasure would be tolerated.

Therefore, Lin Zhu does not plan to integrate these seven fragments into the Dragon Soul Sword for the time being, but will do so after he ascends to immortality.

At this moment, Zhao Lin, the Prince of Kao Shan, was engaged in a fierce battle with Yu Yao.

After all, Huangji Mountain was an unclaimed territory, and they all wanted it.

Meanwhile, they weren't the only ones coveting this place; it's just that these two were the first to jump out.

Lin Zhu anticipated that Huangji Mountain would definitely not fall into the hands of any specific force. Longhu Mountain would likely step in to mediate, and they would agree that whoever could conquer the Central Plains would take over Huangji Mountain.

Things went as Lin Zhu had predicted.

Three days later, Huangji Mountain, jointly guarded by Yuxu Sect, Shu Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Shangqing Sect, Laoshan, and Qingcheng Mountain, awaited its master.

Lin Zhu left ahead of time after anticipating the outcome.

He first returned to the Great Earth Cave Heaven and spent the whole day playing with his daughter. Then he went to the Ming Dynasty, told Zhu Yuanzhang about the matter, and used the Water Mirror Technique to recreate the scene of the great calamity at that time.

If that heavenly tribulation were to actually fall to the ground, it would undoubtedly be a cataclysmic disaster for the Chenxuan Realm.

Chapter 673 Qing'er's Ascension

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, though his heart was as deep as an abyss.

Lin Zhu had some understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang and would not work for him for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang, not to him; it has always been that way.

Throughout the entire process, the Grand Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty was Qingzhu Daoren, not Linzhu.

The people of the Ming Dynasty said, "We have no idea who Lin Zhu is."

During the five years he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't accomplish much, but he gained a lot of merit, mainly in promoting potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.

He was thinking that if he brought these three things along in the future, he might earn another wave of merit. He didn't need much, just a hundred or two hundred million would be fine.

Since the loss of the Longqin and the Seven Fiend Swords, the situation in the Central Plains has begun to change more drastically.

Every month, a country is destroyed.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also accelerating his pace of conquering neighboring countries, and with the help of luck, his strength quickly broke through to the Void Realm.

The same was true for Ma Xiuying; she became the true Empress Ma.

The two are like fire and water, complementing each other perfectly, without any sense of incompatibility.

Currently, the largest kingdoms in this Central Plains are the Zhao Kingdom, led by Zhao Tuo; the Changliang Kingdom, led by Yu Yao; and the Zhou Kingdom, led by Ji Chao.

Ji Chao, a descendant of the ancestors who ascended from the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Divine Continent, has accumulated tens of thousands of years of experience, giving them the confidence to contend for supremacy in this chaotic world.

The Ming Dynasty can only be considered the second tier, but it is very dynamic, has an excellent reputation, and its fortune is very stable, making it the top of the second tier.

In addition, he was located in the south, where there were no borders with the Zhou state in the east, the Changliang state in the north, or the Zhao state in the central and western regions.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Middle Kingdom will devolve into a war between four nations.

In the following years, Lin Zhu did not participate in the Ming Dynasty's conquests, or rather, he was not needed at all. He spent his time cultivating his relationship with his daughter in the Great Earth Cave.

He also occasionally helped Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Yaoyue, and the others with their cultivation.

Seeing that these people's cultivation levels had caught up with hers again, Zhao Min felt extremely regretful.

She now wants Lin Zhu to help her improve her strength, but Lin Zhu refuses, feeling too guilty.

Lin Youning is growing up slowly. With the change in genes, she is different. She is not like Qing'er, nor like Wang Yuyan, Xiaolongnu, or Sheng Yayu.

She's somewhat like a replica of Lin Zhu, only cuter, and her appearance is much softer compared to Lin Zhu.

Although she was pampered, she was not spoiled or willful at all. Instead, she was well-behaved, sensible, and even a little naive and romantic.

That's why every member in the group dotes on her.

Even Ni Xue would visit her from time to time, and in return, she made many promises to You Ruo.

Each time she came, she would have You Ruo teleport to Yaochi Immortal Castle first, and then switch back after returning. Zhao Min acted as their third party.

As for Xuan Yang Cave Heaven, it became Lin Zhu's true cave heaven after Lin Youning was born.

In Baixi Valley, Wang Yuyan, Xue Nu, Su Rongrong, and Duanmu Rong officially moved into the Earth Cave Heaven.

Currently, the group has two bases: one is Dadi Dongtian (Great Earth Cave Heaven), and the other is Didi Dongtian (Underground Cave Heaven).

The Great Earth Cave Heaven is the living area, while the Underground Cave Heaven is the cultivation area.

Although Lin Youning was not in the group, in addition to the increased cultivation speed, she had another privilege: she could teleport to wherever she wanted to go anytime, anywhere.

Of course, this is on the premise that the place is in the Chenxuan Realm and that there are group members there.

Time flies, and another five years have passed.

The conflicts among the various states in the Middle Kingdom had reached a fever pitch.

Centered on Huangji Mountain, the south was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the north by the Changliang Kingdom, the east by the Zhou Dynasty, and the west by the Zhao Dynasty.

The struggle between the four sides continues unabated.

Lin Zhu and his group officially left the Ming Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty already has many Mahayana Realm cultivators, it no longer needs him.

They disappeared without a word, the kind of disappearance that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find.

While Zhu Yuanzhang felt regretful about Lin Zhu and the others' sudden disappearance, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

With the blessing of a quarter of the Central Plains' fortune, cultivation is as easy as eating and drinking for him. He has also broken through to the Mahayana realm, but he still cannot see through Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu said he was there to assist him, but he still felt uneasy; this was the way of an emperor.

It wasn't just him who was like this; emperors like Ying Zheng, Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, and Li Shimin would have done the same.

In the past few years, whenever the Ming Dynasty needed his help, Lin Zhu never failed to achieve his goal.

Zhao Min and Huang Rong came up with countless schemes.

Thus, the later the period went, the more frustrated Zhu Yuanzhang became.

Now I feel relieved.

Lin Zhu was relieved.

The improved potatoes, corn, and wheat have been promoted throughout the entire Chenxuan Realm, and his merits have increased to thirty million.

According to Aqing, these merits are enough to exchange for materials that can be used to forge top-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

Once he had secured the benefits, the situation in the Central Plains was truly no longer under Lin Zhu's control.

What will happen to Zhu Yuanzhang after that is anyone's guess.
