Qin Luo thought for a moment and said softly, "First of all, lying is bad, so it's best not to lie."

“If you receive benefits for no reason, people will be envious or even jealous. I lied to help Dong Xuan, and also to help the Golden Flower Goddess, who is a good deity.”

"I understand!"

Xuan Qing said softly, "This is a white lie."

Qin Luo rubbed Xuan Qing's head. "Smart."

Hua Ying remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are your plans for dealing with these old temples in the future?"

Qin Luo inquired, feeling that Hua Ying's conferment of the title of Mountain God upon Wu Song might not only be to repay a favor, but also to keep an eye on Lady Jin Hua.

Hua Ying answered truthfully: "There are still many old temples that have been granted imperial decrees by the Heavenly Court. Without the restraint of the Heavenly Court, many gods act recklessly. The court can only strengthen its management. The destruction of mountains and temples is also aimed at those old gods who have done nothing. If an old god benefits the local area, the court will allow it to exist, as long as it does not threaten the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Qin Luo continued to ask, "You've been bestowing titles upon the mountain gods along the way; you must have other plans, right?"

Hua Ying did not hide anything from Qin Luo and said softly, "The Great Xia Dynasty is in dire need of powerful cultivators. The gods bestowed by the Great Xia Dynasty can become stronger in a short time with the blessing of the nation's fortune, so that they can contend with the Immortal Realm."

Qin Luo frowned slightly. "Do you want to start a war with the Immortal Realm? Or is the Immortal Realm targeting the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"Anything is possible. War may not necessarily break out. It's just a matter of preparing in advance, in case war does break out."

Qin Luo said earnestly, "A great calamity is approaching, and the Three Realms should unite."

Hua Ying raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "Then why don't you go and reason with them?"

"no problem."

Qin Luo looked up at the azure sky, "When I have time in the future, I'll go and visit the Immortal Realm."

"I want to go too."

Xuanqing's eyes were full of anticipation.

Xiao Die respectfully said, "Master Dao, after I left the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm, I tried to go to the Immortal Realm, but the Immortal Realm has very strong restrictions. I can tear through the void, but I cannot overcome the restrictions of the Immortal Realm."

Qin Luo smiled and said, "If cultivators from the Immortal Realm can come down, then we can naturally go up too. There must be a passage leading to the Immortal Realm."

Hua Ying nodded. "These paths are very hidden, but I know of a few that connect to forbidden areas of the Immortal Realm. They are extremely dangerous, and ordinary cultivators from the mortal world would only perish if they went there."

"I'm not afraid."

Xuanqing proudly raised his head.

Hua Ying raised an eyebrow. "Even the Ancestral Dragon perished in one of the forbidden areas. You're lucky; you might even meet the Great Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing felt a chill run down his spine, and he trembled all over. "The Immortal Realm, it's better not to go."
