"Little guy, you've really given me a big surprise!" Li Daoyi sighed inwardly as he looked at the black egg floating in front of him, constantly absorbing energy.

"System, do you really not know this guy's background?" Li Daoyi asked in his mind.

"Host, this system currently lacks sufficient permissions to unlock the relevant data. Please continue to improve your cultivation or enter a higher-level world, at which time you may be able to unlock the relevant information."

"Fine!" Li Daoyi said helplessly.

Just then, the black egg stopped rotating, and the surroundings became clear. The tribulation clouds that had covered a distance of ten miles had vanished without a trace.

The black egg slowly flew back and landed on Li Daoyi's shoulder once more.

"bite…"

"Congratulations, host, you have completed the achievement task and defeated the first Heavenly Tribulation. You are rewarded with 100,000 points."

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have gained 3,000 Huang Yaoshi Astonishment Points..."

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have gained 3,000 Golden Wheel Monk Astonishment Points..."

"Ding... Congratulations, host..."

The system notification sound followed, and the first reward of 100,000 made Li Daoyi extremely happy.

"Wow, I didn't spend a single penny, I made a huge profit this time."

"Haha, little guy, you've really given me a huge surprise." Li Daoyi took the black egg off his shoulder and held it in his hand, praising it.

"whee…"

Suddenly, the black egg emitted a clear, childlike laugh.

“You…” Li Dao’s eyes widened immediately.

"You can talk now?" Li Daoyi asked hurriedly.

"Hehe...hehe..." Black Egg let out a few more laughs.

"What do you mean?" Li Daoyi scratched his head, completely bewildered, not understanding what the other person was laughing at.

"Little one, answer me, can you talk now?"

However, the black egg neither laughed nor spoke again. Instead, it spun around a few more times, leaving Li Daoyi completely bewildered.

"Seriously? You laughed a few times for no reason, and then you stopped responding?"

The black egg bounced and hopped on Li Daoyi's shoulder, seemingly trying to express something, before spinning around again.

"Alright, alright, I'll ask Little Dragon Girl to translate for me when we get back." Seemingly sensing the other party's anxiety, Li Daoyi quickly reassured him.

Only then did the black egg calm down and stop rotating.

At this moment, Li Dao looked down at the grassland below and saw a dense crowd of people kneeling on the ground. He did not rush down.

"System, what did you mean when you said that the will of heaven and earth is controlled by people? Shouldn't this world just be a mortal world?" Li Daoyi said in a deep voice.

"Returning to the host, the mortal world does not mean that it is impossible for extraordinary individuals to emerge. It's just that it would be extremely difficult for cultivators to become immortals in the mortal world, but every world has a certain probability of giving birth to extraordinary powers," the system explained.

Li Daoyi seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. He thought of Wang Chongyang, who had created his own cultivation techniques, and also Xu Zhu, whom he suspected was still alive.

"Can you find out where they are?" Li Daoyi asked.

"Please select to activate world scan. Scanning will deduct 10,000 points."

"Go ahead and try, I want to see which expert is hiding behind the scenes." Li Daoyi sneered.

"10,000 points will be deducted. Scanning will begin and will last for three days."

Li Dao nodded and then flew downwards.

On the grassland, everyone was excited and thrilled to see Li Daoyi fly down.

"Greetings, Immortal!" everyone shouted in unison. The sound seemed to make the entire earth tremble.

In mid-air, Li Daoyi slowly raised his hand, and those kneeling on the ground immediately felt themselves being lifted up by a force.

"Get up!"

Li Daoyi also flew to a height of ten meters above the platform.

He took out a porcelain bottle and gently tossed it toward Huang Rong.

"Give it to Guo Jing."

"Yes," Huang Rong replied quickly.

With Tolui's help, Huang Rong quickly fed the liquid in the bottle into Guo Jing's mouth.

Guo Jing, who was unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.

"Rong...Rong'er..."

"Brother Jing!" Huang Rong excitedly hugged Guo Jing.

"You're alright, haha, Anda, you're alright," Tore said happily.

Guo Jing looked around, then looked up and saw Li Daoyi, and quickly stood up.

"Guo Jing pays respects to the immortal."

"Excellent. If you hadn't bought me time, I probably wouldn't have been able to save you in time," Li Daoyi praised.

"It is my duty. By the way, Immortal, this sword..." Guo Jing said, quickly raising the Green Steel Sword.

Li Daoyi stretched out his hand, and the sword instantly flew into his hand.

"System, replenish energy."

"Buzz..."

The sword once again emitted a white light and a buzzing sound.

"From this day forward, I bestow this sword, Zi, upon you." With that, Li Daoyi returned the Qinggang sword to Guo Jing.

"I cannot do this; what merit or ability do I possess?" Guo Jing quickly refused.

"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people."

"Just for this one sentence, this sword is worth it."

"Immortal, is Lord Yue still alive?" Guo Jing asked hurriedly.

"That was just a wisp of Yue Fei's spirit. He has completed his mission and has now completely merged with this sword. From now on, this sword will be Yue Fei. You must use it carefully; the energy within is enough for ten uses," Li Daoyi said slowly.

"Yes, Guo Jing understands," Guo Jing said, bowing.

Then Li Daoyi looked at Ögedei and the others on the high platform.

"Temujin united the steppes to resist the Jin dynasty's hegemony in order to escape the tragic fate of the Mongols. Now he has succeeded. I hope that you Mongols will take this as a lesson and not follow in the footsteps of the Jin dynasty."

"Yes, we will remember," Ögedei and his three companions replied hastily.

Li Dao nodded, then slowly flew into the air, and disappeared with a flash of white light.

As Li Daoyi's figure disappeared, everyone was filled with mixed emotions.

"Back to the city, let's go back to the city! Quickly release Wanyan Lie!" Ögedei shouted hurriedly.

Jin Dynasty, Kaifeng.

Wanyan Chenglin, Dongfang Bubai, Chen Heshang, and Hong Qigong, who arrived later, were in an inconspicuous tent.

"General, are you really sure?" Monk Chen asked.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Dongfang Bubai and Hong Qigong, who stood on his left and right sides, respectively, and a sense of oppression came over him.

“We have no choice. The Jin Dynasty’s current state is destined. All I can do now is preserve the seed of our Jurchen people. They are not worth dying with this corrupt country.”

"Is there really no other way?" Monk Chen asked in anguish.

"A solution? Haven't we tried it in the past ten years or so? How many people have died? But what has changed? The nobles in the court, including His Majesty, are still indulging in debauchery and revelry every night. They only care about themselves and have never truly cared about the fate of the Jurchens. They are still immersed in the glory of the Great Jin Dynasty a hundred years ago."

"It's too late, it's all too late. What Immortal Li said makes sense. Even without him this time, my Great Jin wouldn't have lasted long. Destruction was only a matter of time. If Temujin hadn't suddenly passed away back then, my Great Jin would have ceased to exist long ago. It's already a great fortune that we've managed to survive for so many years," Wanyan Chenglin said excitedly.

"My Great Jin may perish, but the Jurchens will not disappear. We must continue to live. As for those parasites in the court, we must kill them to prevent future troubles," Wanyan Chenglin said with a cold glint in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chen Heshang took a deep breath, then turned around and knelt down on one knee before Wanyan Chenglin.

"This humble general is willing to follow the great general."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Dongfang Bubai and Hong Qigong also smiled. This person's agreement meant that there were no problems, and the countdown to the destruction of the Jin Kingdom had begun.

Mount Hua.

At the platform where the Huashan Sword Tournament took place, there is a cliff next to it, and a hundred meters below the cliff, there is a well-hidden cave entrance. At this moment, a series of muffled, thunderous sounds can be faintly heard coming from the cave entrance. If someone discovers this place and listens carefully, they will find that it sounds like someone snoring while sleeping.

"Snoring, snoring..."

Suddenly the snoring stopped abruptly.

"boom…"

A gust of air shot out from the cave, instantly blowing away the withered branches, fallen leaves, gravel, and dust at the cave entrance, revealing the cave entrance in its entirety. It was a cave entrance about ten feet in diameter.

"Phew... I slept so well." An old voice came from inside the cave.

"Huh? What's going on? Who triggered my restriction?"

As footsteps sounded, a figure appeared at the cave entrance.
