"Laughing, really?" Jiang Li touched his face secretly.

"Yes." Wei Dongliu frowned and said, "Your smile is already written on your face, okay?"

Jiang Li laughed secretly in his heart, but said:

"Husband, it's a little too early for you to worry about the future now."

"Is it early?" Wei Dongliu asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's too early." Jiang Li'an gently massaged his temple and said softly, "If my husband has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and all he needs to do is to pass the tribulation and ascend to heaven, then it would be more reasonable to think about how to safely ascend to the immortal world... He hasn't ascended yet, so why are you thinking so much?"

Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment and said:

"If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries."

"Since the road to ascension is so difficult, it would be too hasty to make plans just before ascension."

"Hehe." Jiang Li'an couldn't help laughing again.

Why think so much? Your only destination is to serve me in the Demon Palace!

"My husband knows that 'If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.'" She said sweetly, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out.'"

"My husband hasn't ascended yet, and his basic realm is here. It's futile to think too much. Who knows, when he really ascends, he might find that the difficulties he was worried about are not a problem at all!"

When Wei Dongliu heard her say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, since my wife said "there will always be a way when you reach the mountain", it means that she will escort me all the way to ascension.

Oh, it’s not bad to have a wife who is a great and free demon!

Wei Dongliu finally felt relieved, and suddenly he saw Jiang Li'an turn around and sit on the bed, crossing her legs elegantly, and patted the empty space next to her.

...It's just a bit waist-wrenching.

After a few days, Wei Dongliu began to feel a little depressed.

The cultivator's body was strong enough, but the demon had the instinct to suck the marrow out of his bones. Even though Witch Jiang had deliberately restrained herself, some of the abilities she released inadvertently were still too much for Wei Dongliu to handle.

In addition to daily practice, the Qibao Xuanyuan secret realm is about to open, so he also needs to prepare in advance.

He once again took out the list of foreign cultivators who had recently joined the sect, and after studying it carefully for several days, he discovered that these people indeed had close ties with other sects on the Shenzhou continent.

How many monks are truly grassroots? In fact, there are not many.

If there is a poor boy in the countryside whose fathers have been farmers for more than three generations, then even if he is born with a clear mind, who will find out? He won't even know that there are sects in this world!

The vast majority of cultivators have relatives or friends who are cultivators who introduced them to the sect. Except for some independent cultivators, most of these relatives and friends come from various sects. In this way, as long as they go through these outside cultivators, they can use their network of contacts to get in touch with most of the small and medium-sized sects.

As for how to convince them, Wei Dongliu has already thought of more than a dozen rumors.

There are all kinds of statements, from the closest to the truth that "the secret realm of Qibao Xuanyuan contains important clues about ascension" to the unfounded "Qibao Xuanyuan can enable the Nascent Soul Realm to achieve a rapid breakthrough", and so on. It all depends on which one people are willing to believe.

After thinking through the plan carefully, Wei Dongliu quickly arranged it. Through these foreign monks who had just joined the sect, he secretly sent all kinds of information to various sects in the Shenzhou continent through his network of contacts.

Doing so is of course fraught with risks, because the various sects that receive the news may be tempted by the Demon Cult's proposal, or they may refuse to respond due to various concerns, or they may even turn around and report the news to the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Cult.

However, history has proven that until Wei Dongliu led his men to the Far North Pillar of Heaven, the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church were unaware that the Demon Cult had established a cooperative relationship with these sects - it was not that the Demon Cult's methods were too secretive, but that there was no corresponding intelligence department within the Orthodox Church, and even if they got the news, they would not take it seriously.

Soon, Wei Dongliu received many replies.

Since the message was passed on through relatives and friends, most of the Nascent Soul Elders who received the message gave various responses, but their specific attitudes were similar:

"I'll explain it in detail, but I can only represent myself, not the sect!"

This is normal. After all, these small and medium-sized sects are unable to fight against the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church. Therefore, even if everyone is willing to participate in the joint action in the end, they can only represent themselves and cannot involve the sects behind them.

However, the number of people who expressed interest in this far exceeded Wei Dongliu's original estimate - it seems that although everyone dares not offend the orthodox religion, as long as the evil religion is in the front, there are still many people willing to stroke the tiger's whiskers.

So Wei Dongliu planned to send a message again and invite all the Nascent Soul elders to an offline meeting.

The meeting place certainly cannot be held in Mount Wutai, otherwise these Nascent Soul elders will inevitably have many concerns when gathering away from home.

Wei Dongliu chose a popular market for independent cultivators, rented the largest auction house in the area, and attached the invitations to the messages sent to the elders who had expressed their interest.

A few days later, the offline gathering was held as scheduled.

When Wei Dongliu arrived at the auction, he saw that many Nascent Soul elders had already arrived at the venue. They were sitting together in familiar groups of three or five, chatting with each other.

When he walked onto the stage, the voices in the conference hall did not stop, as if these people came not to discuss important matters, but to have a cocktail party to exchange feelings.

After a brief pause, Wei Dongliu pinched his Dao formula and performed a simple magic trick, which revealed a line of large characters in front of everyone:

"If you don't become a Chaos Daluo Jinxian, there is no hope of ascending to heaven."

These two simple sentences were like a bolt of thunder, cutting off all the chatter and bringing the noise in the venue to an abrupt end.

Everyone stared at the two words "Chaos Daluo Jinxian" and "Ascension", with expressions ranging from surprise, eagerness, deep thought, to solemnity.

"Does anyone know what ascension is?" Wei Dongliu stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking at the Nascent Soul elders in the audience, and asked patiently like a teacher.

No one answered, which is natural.

Everyone was somewhat wary of the Demon Cult, and since the current situation was unclear, no one wanted to speak first.

"Haha." Wei Dongliu showed the same indifferent smile as Witch Jiang before, and said calmly, "Ascending to the sky does not mean that you will appear in the fairyland immediately after you become immortal."

"Do you know how far the Chaos River separates the Immortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm?"

After an incense stick of time, many Nascent Soul elders' expressions changed slightly after listening to Wei Dongliu's account of the many secrets of his ascension.

Obviously, although some people already know this, most Nascent Soul cultivators still know nothing about the situation after ascending.

The distance is long, there is the biting cold of the Chaos River, and there are endless attacks from demons. Once the true energy is exhausted, there is no time to recover, and sooner or later, you will be exhausted to death.

Because of this, only the Chaos Daluo Jinxian with infinite true essence has the opportunity to pass through the long Chaos Sky River and reach the fairyland on the other side.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel fear and sadness.

To become a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, one needs to create a first-grade immortal infant.

However, now, apart from Chang Geng from Kunlun Taiqing Sect, who else can create a first-grade immortal infant? Creating a divine infant is worth a big banquet and universal celebration, right?

Seeing that most of the monks looked panicked, Wei Dongliu smiled faintly:

"A Primal Chaos Daluo Jinxian needs a first-grade immortal infant, which also requires a first-grade golden elixir."

"If you take a false step, all the steps after that will be false. There is no chance of recovery... But is it really so?"

"If that were true, the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church and our Six Paths would not be fighting for the White Jade Capital, the Golden Palace, and the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden."

These words, like the true face of the plot, instantly killed all the distracting thoughts of the crowd, and all eyes and attention were focused on Wei Dongliu.

Is the Demon Cult worth cooperating with? Not worth it! Regardless of the reputation of the Mortal Dao, the mere fact that cooperating with the Demon Cult would draw the wrath of the Orthodox Cult is enough to make most Nascent Soul cultivators stay away from it.

But when it comes to repairing a flawed source of Tao...

Let alone the Demonic Cult, even if the opponent is the Heavenly Demon, it is still worth fighting!

After calming everyone down with a few casual words, Wei Dongliu finally got to the point:

"About the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm..."

That night, many Nascent Soul elders quietly left the auction house one after another, each of them looking like they had something heavy on their mind.

Before coming here, everyone had their own ulterior motives, and some even made up their minds that after getting the news, they would turn around and report to the Orthodox Church.

But the news that Wei Dongliu threw out this time was so heavy that no one could sell it out without being moved.

Even if we take a step back, even if we tell the orthodox church, what benefit will we get?

If more than a thousand Yuanying elders all agree to follow the Demon Cult to conquer the Qibao Xuanyuan Secret Realm, what benefits can they get if they go alone to inform on the secret?

What benefits can the Orthodox Church offer that can compare with this opportunity to make up for the basic source of Tao? Even if it's just a fight!

In the empty auction hall, Wei Dongliu still stood silently with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something for a long time.

"Husband, aren't you afraid that these people will go out and tell on us?" Witch Jiang's voice sounded behind him, "Although the Three Purities of the Orthodox Church are corrupt and ignorant, if there are too many people telling on us, they will at least be alert, right?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. As long as the orthodox sects send letters to the various sects, most of the sects will be dissatisfied, but they will order their elders not to get involved with the evil sect, right?"

Wei Dongliu smiled calmly and said:

"No."

Jiang Li'an: ...

She waited for a long time, but Wei Dongliu didn't explain "why he wasn't afraid". This mysterious style made her grit her teeth, but she quickly suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile:

"Do you want me to send people to monitor these Nascent Soul Elders? If anyone really goes to the Orthodox Church to inform on us, we can eliminate them on the way. How do you think?"

"Not right." Wei Dongliu shook his head and said, "It's not a common occurrence for a Nascent Soul cultivator to die."

"If several Nascent Soul cultivators died one after another, and they were all the people who came to the meeting today, what would the remaining cultivators think? Don't treat everyone as fools."

"Hmph." Jiang Li'an said indifferently, "It's your idea anyway. I'm just responsible for providing suggestions. It's up to you whether to adopt them or not."

"In that case, would you like to go with me to the Qibao Xuanyuan Secret Realm this time?" Wei Dongliu took her hand.

Witch Jiang was somewhat tempted, but soon remembered that the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden was a secret place for the human race, and would definitely not allow the demons to enter without permission, so she could only force a smile and said:

"I want to go too, but I haven't had a baby yet."

Ah, so your current setting is still the Golden Core Realm? Wei Dongliu was dumbfounded.

Not to mention the identity of this demon, is there any Jindan-level cultivator in the world who can suppress a Yuanying-level cultivator so much that he can't get up? Don't you feel awkward making up this lie?

"If that's the case, then it's a pity." Wei Dongliu suppressed the urge to sneer and said with regret.

The two of them flew back to Mount Wutai together on their swords. Although they stood side by side along the way without looking at each other, their minds were on the other person.

Knowing that the other person is lying, it is difficult to expose it. At the same time, you have to lie to cover up the fact that you already know the other person is lying... This couple is probably in a similar ambiguous state.

After returning to Mount Wutai, Wei Dongliu quickly sent a letter via flying sword.

This time, he was not contacting many small and medium-sized sects, but inviting the other six sects except the Hell Realm to come here to discuss matters.

Since the last time we formed a group to go to Yunmengze Kingdom in order to stop Shushan, it can be said that in the end we gained nothing - the best example of harming others without benefiting oneself.

Although weakening the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church was a consensus among the Six Paths, most people were reluctant to keep fighting such a fruitless battle, so they gave their responses after several days.

We can have a gathering, but what should we discuss?

Wei Dongliu naturally would not reply. After all, he was the leader of the Wei Alliance and he only had the power to issue decisions to his subordinates. How could he have the obligation to explain the decisions to them?

All you have to do is execute it!

When the day of the meeting came, the one who came from the Yin Gui Dao was Zhenren Mo Gu, while Wen Yang did not come; the one who came from the Tian Mo Dao was Zhenren Ling Yun; the one who came from the Shura Dao was Gu Lie, and the one who came from the Dong Huang Dao was Long Xiaoqi, and these two people were also in the Jindan realm.

Putting aside the fact that they were all acquaintances, the four sects all sent Jindan Zhenren who had insufficient say to discuss the matter. In fact, it was clearly implying a resistance attitude of "don't come to us if it's not important."

Wei Dongliu was not angry, he just said calmly:

"This time, Fan Sheng Dao invited you all here to discuss the matter of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm."

Four people: !!!

After hearing this breaking news, the four people reacted in different ways.

Master Mo Gu was first shocked, then ecstatic.

The sect misjudged Fan Shengdao, thinking that this was another case of Alliance Leader Wei looking for an excuse to boost his prestige, so no Nascent Soul elders came to the meeting, and only he took the initiative to volunteer to come and find out the truth.

But I didn't expect that they were discussing such a big matter as the Qibao Xuanyuan Secret Realm!

If it were any other envoy, knowing that he was only at the Jindan level and not of high enough status, he would of course hurry back to report the news and ask the sect to send a high-level cultivator who could make the final decision - at least someone at the level of the sect master's confidant.

But Master Mo Gu was not afraid of anything and immediately made up his mind: Let’s talk first!

After talking with Wei Dongliu, I will take the negotiation result and turn back to the sect to negotiate with that group of old immortals. This way, I can keep the initiative in my own hands!

He looked around calmly, passing over the listless Long Xiaoqi and the solemn-looking Gu Lie, and finally landed on Master Lingyun.

I don’t know these two Jindan Zhenren from Donghuang Dao and Shura Dao, so I guess they are unknown.

The key to the next negotiation, whether everyone can join forces to fight against the pressure from Fan Sheng Dao, will fall on the shoulders of Master Ling Yun!
