131: For players who spend real money, the ascension to the next level is through the VIP channel.

The world-destroying thunder pillar, which gathered the Heavenly Dao's fury, finally crashed down.

There was no world-shattering roar as imagined.

Not even a trace of excess energy dissipated.

The thunder pillar landed precisely on... Wang Duojin's head.

“Buzz—!”

That jade-green Immortal-grade helmet, emitting dense vitality, shone brilliantly.

A jade-green light screen, like an inverted bowl, protected Wang Duojin within.

The world-destroying thunder pillar struck the light screen like a rainstorm pouring onto a vast, boundless lake.

Aside from a few ripples, there was no sound.

The lightning was greedily absorbed and converted by the jade-green light screen.

Wang Duojin even felt his scalp warming up, as if someone was giving him a head massage.

“That's it?”

Wang Duojin curled his lips, his expression full of disappointment.

“Haven't you eaten? Use more force!”

“Rumble—!”

The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to understand his mockery, churning even more violently.

It seemed to feel its majesty had been challenged as never before.

It was furious!

All the tribulation clouds began to shrink and condense frantically toward the center!

Finally, it turned into a thunderball, pitch-black but flickering with billions of destructive electric arcs.

The energy contained within that thunderball was enough to instantly erase a Small World!

“Now that's more like it.”

Wang Duojin stretched his wrists, and the dozens of Immortal Artifacts on his body burst into brilliant light simultaneously.

He was ready to take it head-on.

But that thunderball, which condensed the will of the Heavenly Dao, trembled violently in the air for a moment.

Then... it dissipated silently.

Yes, it dissipated.

Like a punctured balloon, it turned into purple-black mist and then vanished into thin air.

The wind stopped.

The clouds dispersed.

Sunlight fell once more.

It was as if everything that happened was just an illusion.

On the Martial Arts Field, tens of thousands of Disciples stared with wide mouths, looking at each other.

The Heavenly Tribulation... just... left?

Was it driven away by Senior Brother Wang's sheer mockery?

Wang Duojin was also stunned.

He had struck a pose and built up his emotions, waiting for an earth-shattering explosion so he could walk out of the center unharmed and enjoy the worshipful gazes of his Junior Brothers and Sisters.

In the end, the other party just flipped the table and quit?

“Sigh.”

Wang Duojin sighed, feeling bored.

“How lonely it is to be invincible.”

Just as he finished speaking.

Above the sky, a light gate more brilliant than the sun slowly opened.

A familiar world-pulling force descended.

“Everyone!”

Wang Duojin turned around and waved forcefully at the tens of thousands of Disciples below.

“Wait for me, Wang Duojin, to conquer a vast territory in the Upper Realm!”

“When the time comes, I'll personally come down to pick you up!”

“Myriad Dao Divine Sect is awesome!”

After saying that, his figure, wrapped in Immortal Artifacts like a metal lump, turned into a stream of light and vanished into the light gate... Xuantian Immortal Domain, Qingming Mountain Range.

Spatial ripples spread out.

With a loud “clack,” a golden unidentified object fell out of the light gate, smashing a large crater into the ground.

It was indeed Wang Duojin.

“Cough, cough, cough...”

He crawled out of the crater covered in dust, feeling as if the bones in his body were about to be crushed by that terrifying Law power.

“Damn, the air in this Immortal Realm is really something!”

He cursed while adapting to the heavy pressure.

Soon, he saw the familiar rocking chair and the familiar figure not far away.

Wang Duojin's eyes lit up instantly.

He scrambled over, his face filled with the most flattering and sincere smile.

“Revered Master!”

“Revered Master, you've worked hard!”

“Disciple Wang Duojin, reporting for duty!”

He knelt before the rocking chair with a “thud,” his movements smooth and without any hesitation.

“Revered Master! You are truly brilliant and far-sighted!”

“If not for the god-tier equipment you bestowed upon me, I fear I would have been reduced to ashes under that Heavenly Tribulation!”

“I will never forget Revered Master's kindness for remolding me! I am your most loyal lackey; if you point east, I'll never go west, and if you tell me to chase a chicken, I'll never go after a dog!”

This flattery was heartfelt and moving.

Chu Xuanjin didn't even lift an eyelid.

“Finished?”

“Ah? Fin... finished.”

“Then get lost,” Chu Xuanjin waved his hand impatiently.

“Go east, there's a place called Qingmu Sect.”

“That's an asset of our Myriad Dao Divine Sect.”

“Go there and be a general manager, responsible for the rent collection in that area.”

“Organize the accounts every month and hand them to me on time.”

“If there's even one piece of immortal jade missing from the accounts...”

“Revered Master, don't worry!” Wang Duojin's eyes lit up like two suns when he heard there was business to be done.

He slapped his chest hard, making a vow.

“I guarantee the task will be completed!”

“Forget about missing one piece of immortal jade; if even a single hair is missing, you can twist my head off and kick it like a ball!”

“Get lost.”

“Alright!”

Wang Duojin felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. He leaped up from the ground, identified the direction, and turned into a streak of golden light, rushing excitedly toward the Qingmu Sect.

His departing figure was full of infinite longing for a bright “money” future.

Watching Wang Duojin's receding back, Chu Xuanjin slowly opened his eyes.

With a thought.

Ye Chenfeng, Su Linger, Zhao Wuyou, and more than ten other Disciples and Elders who had long since ascended quietly appeared in the valley.

“Revered Master (Sect Master).” Everyone bowed in unison.

“Mm.” Chu Xuanjin nodded.

“You've seen it too.”

“This Immortal Realm is very large.”

“Relying solely on rent collection won't make us a Fortune Global 500 company.”

“So, I've decided to launch the ‘Branch Franchise’ plan.”

He looked at these Disciples, who had already grown into local powerhouses, with a “boss painting a big picture” smile.

“From today on, you don't need to stay in the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain anymore.”

“Go out.”

“Go to every corner of this Immortal Realm, to those bustling immortal cities, to those hidden grotto-heavens, and to those ancient ruins.”

“Go and plant flags for me.”

“Wherever you go, leave a spatial anchor of our Myriad Dao Divine Sect.”

“You can go and subdue small Sects, find treasures in Secret Realms, or deal with those so-called Prodigies.”

“In short, cause as much trouble as you can.”

“I want the name ‘Myriad Dao Divine Sect’ to spread silently through this immortal domain like a virus.”

“Do you all understand?”

“Understood!”

In Ye Chenfeng's eyes, Sword Intent surged.

He was going to find the legendary sword dao holy land to see how fast the swords in the Immortal Realm truly were.

Zhao Wuyou gripped his dragon emperor halberd, his Battle Intent boiling.

He was going to the Yao Race's Myriad Dragon Nest to fight with real Dragons.

Su Linger's beautiful eyes flickered; she already had a plan.

She was going to the capital of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty to open an intelligence station belonging to the Myriad Dao Divine Sect.

Ye Wushang licked his lips, his gaze fixed on the Demon Abyss where Devilish Qi surged.

He felt there were many “delicacies” there.

“Go.”

Chu Xuanjin waved his hand.

“Remember, don't lose face for our Myriad Dao Divine Sect.”

“If you can't win, call for backup.”

“If you can't get anyone, say my name.”

“If saying my name doesn't work either...”

He paused.

“Then tell them to wait.”

“When I wake up, I'll personally go and collect their corpses.”

“Yes, Revered Master (Sect Master)!”

Everyone bowed together and then turned into dozens of streams of light, flying off in all directions.

In everyone's eyes burned the flame of “ambition.”

A storm that was about to sweep through the entire Xuantian Immortal Domain quietly began at this moment.

Watching the Disciples' receding backs, Chu Xuanjin nodded with satisfaction.

He lay back in his rocking chair, preparing to continue his great sleeping career.

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he frowned slightly.

“No, there's still a loophole.”

He muttered to himself.

“As more and more people ascend in the future, I can't have such a big commotion every time. If I really annoy the Heavenly Dao one day and it gives me a ‘Super Double,’ that would be too much trouble.”

“ We need to think of a way.， Once and for all.”

He thought for a moment and then slowly closed his eyes.

The next second.

His figure disappeared from the rocking chair... Inside the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain.

High in the sky, within the canopy formed by Chaos Qi.

Chu Xuanjin's figure appeared out of thin air.

He stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the immortal Holy Land below, which had already begun to take shape.

His terrifying cultivation of Early Stage Immortal Lord was released without reservation at this moment!

“Buzz—!”

The entire Divine Mountain shook violently!

Countless Great Dao Laws, as if summoned by an emperor, emerged from the void, turning into brilliant, multicolored law chains that surrounded him, emitting hums of submission!

“In my name, I reshape the rules of this world.”

...Too lazy to write it out, basically from now on when the Realm is reached, Ascension won't require Undergoing Tribulation. Just teleport to the Immortal Realm anchor and force a Breakthrough to Earth Immortal... “Done.”

Chu Xuanjin looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

He then notified all the Disciples in the Divine Mountain.

“From today on, Disciples of our Myriad Dao Divine Sect will take the VIP channel for Ascension.”

“When your cultivation reaches Perfection, there's no need to undergo tribulation; just activate your disciple token to be teleported to the Immortal Realm.”

The Disciples were stunned after hearing this.

Ascension... without Undergoing Tribulation?

Just teleport?

What a Heaven-Defying method!

“Sect Master... is awesome!”

It took a long time for them to recover from the extreme shock, their voices filled with fanatical worship.

Done.

Chu Xuanjin clapped his hands, feeling refreshed.

He felt that he was truly an ordinary little Genius at Sect building.

After doing all this, a familiar, deep-seated fatigue (habit) surged up again.

“Sigh, it's really exhausting.”

“I can't take it anymore; I need to get some sleep to replenish my spirit.”

His figure flashed and returned to the small courtyard in the Qingming Mountain Range.

He lay back on that familiar rocking chair and covered himself with his favorite thin blanket.

A breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed.

“Creak... creak...”

The rhythmic sound echoed again.

As if nothing had happened.

However, in this seemingly peaceful Xuantian Immortal Domain, a storm called “Franchise” stirred by the “Myriad Dao Divine Sect” had quietly begun.
