The Heavenly Emperor's words startled both Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai.
They had only recently entered the Three Pure Realms, but because they had been constantly cultivating and fighting, their foundations were not weak and were no less than those veteran powerhouses who had been in the Three Pure Realms for several years.
However, cultivation level is cultivation level, and bottleneck is bottleneck.
If it were that easy to break through, then a bottleneck wouldn't be a bottleneck at all.
Even Jiang Kai's master, Pei Donglai, who was so exceptionally talented, was stuck at the Three Pure Realms for a long time before he was able to break through.
As a result, this world now has many resources and opportunities to break through the bottleneck of the Yin-Yang Realm, making it extremely attractive to all reincarnators in the Three Pure Realms.
But now the Heavenly Emperor has entrusted this task to Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai, which shows how much he values them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Go ahead, take this with you. It will allow you to sense where the inheritance is."
With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Emperor created a golden portal that appeared before the two of them.
At the same time, two small golden dragon scale-like objects fell into the hands of Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai.
Upon entering the golden portal, Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai found themselves on a desolate mountain.
At the foot of the desolate mountain, two armies were fighting fiercely, one bearing the banners of Zhou and the other of Shang.

Time: 29th year of Emperor Xin's reign
Location: Border area between Shang and Zhou dynasties
background:
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin ascended the throne. He was intelligent, brave, and fierce, with unparalleled divine strength.
Domestically, it engaged in large-scale construction projects, increased taxes, and imposed harsh laws; externally, it waged constant wars and pursued militarism relentlessly.
He favored petty men and distanced himself from virtuous ministers; he dismissed Shang Rong, killed Bigan, and imprisoned Jizi.
In the tenth year of Emperor Xin's reign, he established Daji as the Queen Goddess and led the Yin Shang fleet to attack the Yun race. In one battle, he annihilated the Yun race and seized their treasure, the Floating City, to replace Chaoge.
The Shang fleet suffered heavy losses in this battle and lost air superiority thereafter.
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Xin's reign, he led the Shang army to attack the Ling tribe, descendants of Nuwa, destroyed Nuwa Valley, and seized the Ling tribe's most precious treasure, the Sky-Mending Stone, to make a crown for Daji.
In this battle, the Shang army suffered more than half its casualties, and the soldiers stained with the blood of the Spirit Clan were all cursed, with the latter half dying from illness.
In the seventeenth year of Emperor Xin's reign, the Dongyi tribes disrespected the Shang Dynasty envoys, prompting Emperor Xin to lead his army to launch a strong attack on the nine Dongyi tribes, ultimately defeating them completely.
However, the Shang army suffered heavy losses, with almost all of its elite troops wiped out. The remaining nine tribes of the Eastern Yi formed a resistance force on the border and constantly harassed the frontier.
In the 29th year of Emperor Xin's reign, King Wu of Zhou convened a meeting of all the tribes and swore an oath to attack the Shang Dynasty, thus beginning the full-scale war between the Shang and Zhou.
World Level: Celestial? ?
Main quest:
Search for the fragments of the divine inheritance of Laozi scattered among both the Shang and Zhou dynasties; there are seven such fragments in this world.
Note: Reincarnators must not alter the world's destiny while searching for fragments of inheritance. The Shang-Zhou War must end with the death of Emperor Xin and the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty.
Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai both remained silent, pondering the background of this world.
Jiang Kai spoke first, frowning as he said, "The background of this world is so strange. It's at the border of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Could it be based on the Investiture of the Gods?"
"Could it be that you'll also meet another Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun, Yang Jian?"
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "This is not the Conferment of Gods. If it were, you and I would be courting death by coming here. We would need at least ten or eight Realm Lords, or even more than that. It would be more like having the Heavenly Emperor come in person."
Furthermore, the world background doesn't mention anything about the Investiture of the Gods, so it shouldn't have much to do with the Investiture of the Gods, at least not something like the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation that transcends the limits of the world.
However, that damned Shang Dynasty fleet, the goddess Daji, and the like are enough to prove that the power level of this world is not low.
Jiang Kai nodded and said, "What we are looking for in this world is a fragment of the legacy of Laozi."
That's the Moral Celestial Venerable! Even if this world considers it to be at the Celestial level, I feel it's a bit too low.
Yang Cheng said, "Laozi should be considered an incarnation of the Moral Celestial Venerable, so the value of his fragments should not be at the same level as that of the Moral Celestial Venerable."
The Heavenly Emperor has clearly shown that he is giving us a chance, so even though this world is dangerous, it shouldn't be a dead end.
Given Jiang Kai's personality, every time he enters the cycle of reincarnation, he will definitely solve problems directly with his fists.
However, he was full of concerns at the start of this game, and he was indeed somewhat shocked by the background of this world.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, King Zhou, Ji Fa, and Daji were figures that inevitably evoked associations with the Investiture of the Gods.
But if it really is based on the Investiture of the Gods, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Yang Cheng knew more about this than Jiang Kai, and he even had some vague guesses about the truth of the cycle of reincarnation, so he wasn't worried about it.
The legacy of Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun Yang Jian was in Mi Luotan Fashi Tian. After killing the other party, the last memories of Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun also disappeared, and the legacy was now in Yang Cheng.
Therefore, if this world were the world of the Investiture of the Gods, then the existence of a True Lord of Pure Origin Dao and a three-pointed double-edged sword would be clearly problematic and absolutely impossible.
