Chapter 340: Relying on Connections to Become a God
Shen Ziqing frowned.
"Really, can you achieve transcendence and become an immortal?"
"Of course it's impossible," Wu Caishen gave a straightforward answer, "That desolate immortal never managed to completely separate the small world from himself throughout his life, and the same is true for other immortals in the Great Desolate period."
"No one has truly transcended, so no one knows what it's like to truly transcend. As long as they separate their small worlds, they will say they have transcended. The reason why they are on par with the True Immortals is purely because the True Immortals have long been extinct. Even if there are any, those True Immortals are obsessed with their own skills and don't bother to care about worldly affairs."
"The first Emperor Yu refined the Dao Pillar and smashed it with a clang. Then the immortals of the Great Wilderness period knew that they had not transcended at all."
"Dead or dead, dead or dead."
Shen Ziqing was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong, "Are all the immortals from the Great Wilderness period dead?"
"Of course, that was the Dao Pillar, which was used to suppress all Daoist sects during the Great Wilderness period. Moreover, Emperor Yu also refined the Wealth Pillar," said the God of Wealth, shaking his head. "Of course, we also took action at that time, and it was absolutely impossible for any immortal to survive."
Shen Ziqing thought, "Then this Immortal Palace..."
"Maybe he is a reincarnated immortal. At that time, many immortals realized that the situation was hopeless, so they used the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day, and took the initiative to tear off the small world connected to the big world and rise to the sky."
"Of course, the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day is extremely risky. Many ancient sects were wiped out on the spot. It is possible that some immortals chose to keep themselves out of trouble and avoid the pillar of Taoism by reincarnation," God of Wealth pinched his chin, thinking, "This Immortal Palace was probably born at the end of the Great Wilderness, when our Heavenly Court had already passed away. Most of its members are those immortals who kept themselves out of trouble."
"Operating behind the scenes...I'm afraid it's also for the chance to become an immortal again."
"But even if they can become immortals again, it is meaningless. As long as the Dao Pillar exists, they will never be able to transcend."
Shen Ziqing nodded and glanced at a piece of photo stone on the table. It was something left by Shui Wuji, and it contained a list of the sects that participated in the provocation between the noble marquises and the commoner marquises.
"This would explain why they planned to stir up conflict between the nobles and the commoners."
"As long as Dayu falls and the pillar of Taoism is not destroyed, they will never be able to transcend."
Shen Ziqing let out a long breath, “Master, this game is set for the Immortal Palace.”
Wu Caishen nodded with admiration, "Your master has a long-term vision, and every move he makes is ingenious, but I think the Immortal Palace is probably not your master's ultimate goal."
"My master has the world in his heart, and his ultimate goal is naturally peace and prosperity for the country and the people," Shen Ziqing smiled and took a sip of tea, "I just hope there will be fewer twists and turns in the middle."
God of Wealth nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Then when do you plan to transform into a god and merge? With your current foundation, it is not impossible to connect with the 108 stars in the heaven."
"The 108 stars in the heaven are different from those who stole the truth. They are the real and formal Taoist traditions that are connected to the Taoist pillars."
Shen Ziqing hesitated a little, "Is this too fast?"
It’s not that Shen Ziqing doesn’t want to become stronger quickly, but the speed at which his realm is improving is too fast. Nine years ago, he was just a merchant’s son with mediocre qualifications, but now he is already a Nascent Soul cultivator and can even achieve Divine Transformation soon.
Shen Ziqing admitted that he was cheating, but was this cheating too outrageous?
"Quick?" Wu Caishen had a strange look on his face. "Those true immortals were still mortals with flesh and blood just before they became immortals."
"Aren't these two things two different things?" Shen Ziqing said helplessly, "I am an orthodox cultivator."
“Practicing Qi, building foundation, forming elixir, breaking infant, transforming spirit and merging body, all realms and all cultivation are for the purpose of getting as close to the Tao as possible. Only those who are mediocre need to cheat and become immortal by nurturing a small world during the tribulation period. Those who are truly insightful can realize the Tao at the moment of the Nascent Soul period,” said Wu Caishen, giving himself a thumbs up.
"You became an immortal in the Nascent Soul stage?!" Shen Ziqing was surprised.
“No, I only understood it when I was at the peak of the fusion and almost passed the tribulation,” Wu Caishen smiled awkwardly, “In the heavens, only the Emperor of Heaven understood everything when he broke through the pill and became an infant.”
Shen Ziqing suddenly realized something, but soon frowned in distress, "But I don't think I've figured it out."
"But you have strong connections," Wu Caishen said calmly, "The 108 stars in the Heavenly Palace are all within the Great Dao and are part of the universe. We can just open a back door for you."
“And then I… became an immortal through connections?” Shen Ziqing’s head began to spin.
“Not entirely, but relying on one’s connections to achieve divine fusion shouldn’t be a problem,” Wu Caishen turned his head and muttered something, as if he was confirming something with someone. After confirming, Wu Caishen turned his head back.
"But your realm is not a formal one after all. If the Heaven Court closes the door to you, your realm will immediately drop."
After Wu Caishen said this, Shen Ziqing relaxed instead, "Then I'll have to trouble the Heavenly Court to supervise my every word and action. If I go the wrong way, please don't show mercy to me."
Shen Ziqing has a very clear understanding of his own cultivation qualifications. The Heavenly Court Orthodoxy is his only way to become a strong man, and the appearance of the Immortal Palace keeps reminding him that any calculation will ultimately require a huge fist as a guarantee.
"Hahahaha—this is natural—"
The God of Wealth laughed, then stood up and left.
Shen Ziqing raised his head and drank the tea in the cup. When he stood up and left, he had already become a spiritual cultivator.
…
Hanzhou.
The cold wind blew snowflakes into Huang Shangshang's collar. Although she was already a Jindan cultivator, Huang Shangshang still shivered and shrank her neck.
The coldness of Hanzhou is not simply due to low temperatures, but rather the serious excess of ice energy from heaven and earth. Therefore, even cultivators cannot completely resist the coldness of Hanzhou. When fairies come, they have to put on old cotton-padded jackets.
"You said you were going to stroll around, but where are you going to stroll around..."
Huang Shangshang subconsciously hugged the sword in her arms tightly and looked around anxiously.
This was her first time to come to Zhongzhou, and she came alone.
She was very excited on the way, and she fantasized about meeting heroes from all over the world and having fun chatting with them after arriving in Hanzhou.
As a result, when she arrived at the destination, she was left with only anxiety, tension, and even some regret.
"No - Huang Shangshang, how can you be scared by such a small scene! This is a great opportunity. It depends on this time to get Master Li's recognition and officially become Master Li's outer disciple!"
Huang Shangshang shook her head vigorously, raised her legs and took a step forward. In an instant, the world changed, and she came to a warm space. Before Huang Shangshang could react, countless hot gazes came at her, and the hottest gaze came from the woman in front of her.
On the way here, Huang Shangshang had been reading the information provided by Shen Ziqing, so Huang Shangshang recognized the woman in front of her at a glance.
Ancestor Yue Han is Yue Yue.
Mr. Shen! This situation is a little different from what you said!
