Chapter 16: The Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire!

As soon as Zhao Changsheng left, the husband and wife began to discuss whether everything he had just said was true or false.

Of course, what they cared about most was whether the Medicinal Pills Zhao Changsheng had given them were real, even though they looked exactly as described in ancient records.

However, they truly could not believe that Zhao Changsheng would be so kind, especially since the conditions he proposed were not actually difficult to fulfill.

At most, they were just a bit troublesome.

“Is what he said true or false? Could he really be so kind as to want to improve the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Mortal Realm?”

Long Han still found it hard to believe that Zhao Changsheng would be so benevolent.

It was truly because such behavior was no different from that of a Saint, and Zhao Changsheng's past actions did not seem to indicate the heart of a Saint.

“In fact, he is doing this more for himself. After all, with his talent for Cultivation and the hidden opportunities and fortune he possesses, reaching the Soul Transformation Stage is only a matter of time. Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't want to stay in the Mortal Realm forever and would want to perform the Ascension to the Spirit Realm. But as he said, to ascend to the Spirit Realm, the first step is to reach the Soul Transformation Stage and then achieve the Late Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection to trigger the Ascension passage. Only then can one ascend safely and smoothly. Otherwise, attempting to ascend by other methods would be a certain death sentence.”

“And he just said that the current Mortal Realm no longer allows one to Cultivate to the Late Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection, so he must do his best to improve the Mortal Realm's cultivation environment. As for whether it can be completely restored to the level of the ancient times where one could reach Great Perfection, that depends on luck. He can only do his best and leave the rest to fate. Whether he succeeds in the end depends on the will of heaven. But regardless, we should no longer make things difficult for him or treat him as an enemy; otherwise, the outcome might not be good. Moreover, we have already obtained the Medicinal Pills from him to Breakthrough to the Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator stage, so there is even less reason to be his enemy. Furthermore, I feel that if we can befriend him, perhaps we too will have a sliver of hope to reach the Soul Transformation Stage in the future.”

“Although our lifespans might not be enough, if there is a chance in the future to obtain life-extending Medicinal Pills through good luck, there might really be a glimmer of hope. And I think these life-extending pills could also be obtained from this Fellow Daoist Zhao. For example, by trading with him to see if we can get them.”

“If we can really achieve that, then there is hope for us.”

After Feng Bing finished speaking, Long Han was left dumbfounded, as he never expected that his Dao Companion would have such confidence in Zhao Changsheng.

This truly surprised him beyond measure.

“I didn't expect you to have such faith in this Fellow Daoist Zhao?”

“It's not just faith; he is the first Cultivator like this in the history of the entire Mortal Realm, which is why I have such confidence in him. Moreover, I feel that Fellow Daoist Zhao must have other secrets we don't know about, and he might truly and sincerely want to change the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Mortal Realm.”

“Most importantly, if he succeeds, it would be a monumental blessing for the entire Mortal Realm. There is no need for us to obstruct him or be his enemy. That is what I wanted to say.”

“Well said. We indeed have no need to be his enemy. Furthermore, I think we should help him with all our strength from now on and avoid doing anything untoward. This might be a good thing for us personally. Since he can produce these peiying pills, providing life-extending pills should also be no problem. Let us do our best to help.”

Long Han nodded in complete agreement.

“Then which Fellow Daoist do you think he will seek out next? Currently, in the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, there seems to be only one Cultivator left who can pose a threat to him.”

“Do you mean he will look for Master Zhiyang?”

“That should be correct. And the way he dissolved our Alliance is truly impressive! Now, Old Devil Hehuan has been subdued, and Fellow Daoist Wei is unwilling to be his enemy. Since we have also turned from enemies to friends, the Alliance has directly collapsed. Truly formidable, simply too formidable; this skill alone is enough to command admiration.”

“Do you think he might go directly to the Mulan Clan?”

Feng Bing thought of another possibility—that he would head straight for the Mulan Clan.

“That is indeed possible. After all, the strength of the entire Mulan Clan is not much inferior to Tiannan, and they have as many as three Late Nascent Soul Great Divine Masters. They had previously decided to join forces with us to kill him in the Demon Fall Valley. It is possible he is going to find them now.”

“Or rather, he will definitely seek out the Mulan Clan; it's just a matter of time. If he even succeeds in persuading the Mulan Clan, then the Alliance will naturally cease to exist. His plan to unify the entire Tiannan Cultivation World will then proceed very smoothly.”

Long Han also nodded and spoke in agreement.

“Why don't we help him? With our current status, if we are willing to assist him, it should make things much easier for him. That way, we might be able to get the Medicinal Pills we want from him.” Feng Bing nodded in strong agreement, offering her views and suggestions, deciding to help Zhao Changsheng.

“Fine, then we shall gather the Middle Nascent Soul Stage and above Cultivators within the Alliance and tell them what just happened. As long as they don't object, our Fellow Daoist Zhao's establishment of the Tiannan Empire will be much smoother. I'm just not sure if they will object. If they insist on opposing, what should we do?”

“If they insist on opposing, then we don't need to be polite with them. We will kill those who can be killed and heavily injure those who can be injured. We absolutely cannot let them affect the establishment of the Tiannan Empire. This matter concerns the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Mortal Realm and its future development; no accidents can be allowed.”

“My wife is right; we should indeed do that. Since it concerns the future development of the entire Mortal Realm, we must not be soft-hearted. Otherwise, the Mortal Realm can forget about ever seeing another Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator or above in the future.”

“Exactly, you are right. We must not be soft-hearted. This time, we must do our utmost to help and ensure nothing goes wrong with the establishment of the Empire.”

The couple grew more enthusiastic as they spoke, beginning to formulate a more detailed plan.

Zhao Changsheng was unaware of what the couple was discussing, as he was currently heading toward the Mulan Clan. Just as...

...they had suspected, he was indeed going to the Mulan Clan. Compared to the Righteous Path, Zhao Changsheng cared more about the Mulan Clan because they possessed three Late Nascent Soul Great Divine Masters.

Under these circumstances, it was naturally a place Zhao Changsheng had to visit, and an important one at that.

His speed was very fast, and in just half a month, he arrived at the sacred hall of the Mulan Clan.

When he arrived at the Mulan Sacred Hall, the three Great Divine Masters of the Mulan Clan, Master Le, and other Great Masters of the Middle Nascent Soul Stage and above were all present, which made Zhao Changsheng quite happy.

However, while Zhao Changsheng was happy, none of the Mulan Clan Cultivators present were. Instead, they were all on high alert, their expressions solemn to the extreme. Especially the three Great Divine Masters and Master Le, whose faces were grim and unsightly. Their bodies surged with spiritual power, looking ready to strike at any moment.

Of course, most importantly and critically, they had already activated the Restrictions of the entire sacred hall.

It could be said that they had now assembled the top fighting force of the entire Mulan Clan.

Even so, for Zhao Changsheng, it was still a happy occasion, so he said with a kind smile on his face:

“I didn't expect all of you Fellow Daoists to be here. Since you are all present, I won't waste any more words. My purpose for coming here is to hope that the Mulan Clan will help establish the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire I am about to describe. If you Fellow Daoists do not agree, you may strike. But let me warn you beforehand: if you strike, I will fight back, and I might not be able to hold back. At that time, you might die, or at the very least be heavily injured. As for my identity, I assume you all know it, so I won't introduce myself.”

After Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, the expression of the leading Mulan Clan Great Divine Master naturally became even more dark and terrifying.

However, he still suppressed the anger and killing intent in his heart, reaching out to stop the other Masters and Divine Masters who wanted to strike, and instead spoke to Zhao Changsheng.

“I did not expect Fellow Daoist Zhao to travel ten thousand miles to my Mulan Sacred Hall. I wonder what benefits this Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire you speak of will bring to our Mulan Clan?”

“There are naturally benefits. If there were no benefits, why would I come here? It is precisely because there are great benefits that I have come to discuss this in detail with you. My only goal in establishing this Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire is to solve the problem of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Mortal Realm gradually thinning out.”

“As Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who can manipulate a certain amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, you must have sensed it—the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Mortal Realm is gradually becoming thinner. It is becoming scarcer.”

“In fact, this issue began in the ancient times. The reason is the great war between the Mortal Realm Cultivators, aided by the Spirit Realm, and the Ancient Demon Realm——”

Subsequently, Zhao Changsheng explained the details of the ancient war to them, the circumstances that arose, and the locations of the sealed and suppressed Demon Eyes.

These Demon Eye Locations basically possessed a continuous flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and if they were not destroyed...

...they would continue to absorb and devour the Spiritual Qi of the world, causing the Spiritual Qi in the world to keep decreasing.

The Devilish Qi in those Demon Eye Locations was, without exception, a great supplement for Zhao Changsheng, so he naturally could not let them go.

It could be said that as long as he devoured all of this ancient true devilish qi, Zhao Changsheng's own Realm would see rapid growth.

For Zhao Changsheng, this was absolutely a monumental stroke of luck that he could not afford to miss.

To put it bluntly, whether Zhao Changsheng could ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future depended on this.

Since that was the case, Zhao Changsheng naturally would not let it slip away.

Those present naturally did not know Zhao Changsheng's thoughts, but when they heard his explanation of the causes and consequences, the Mulan Clan Great Masters and the three Divine Masters were all left staring in shock.

Mainly because the Tiannan side had not explained it to them in such detail before; they had only said how great a threat Zhao Changsheng was. They claimed that if he wasn't killed early, neither the Tiannan Cultivation World nor the Mulan Clan would have a good end.

Under those circumstances, they naturally chose to join forces with the Tiannan Cultivation World, even setting aside their years of grievances with the Tuwu Clan to join forces with them as well.

This was to gather enough Late Nascent Soul Cultivators. Without enough of them, relying solely on the Demon Fall Valley would not be enough to kill Zhao Changsheng.

In that situation, they naturally had to ally.

But they never expected that Zhao Changsheng would personally travel ten thousand miles to explain the causes and consequences. Although everything he said was logical and well-reasoned, and the reasons were very sufficient...

...they found it somewhat difficult to accept, or rather, they were unable to accept such a thing.

After all, asking their entire race to submit to a newly established Great Immortal Cultivation Empire was like the Great Jin Cultivation World.

In fact, it was even worse than the Great Jin Cultivation World—the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire Zhao Changsheng spoke of.

Because the Great Jin Cultivation World was controlled by the ten great Sects of the Righteous and Demonic Paths, while their imperial family did not interfere in affairs.

However, the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire Zhao Changsheng wanted to establish would be completely controlled by him alone. Other forces—the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, and the various Schools in the middle—would be completely unable to oppose him.

They would have to completely obey Zhao Changsheng's orders and would have absolutely no qualification to resist. This was mainly due to the gap in strength, and this point alone was unacceptable to them.

Besides that, there was another point: the reason Zhao Changsheng was establishing this Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to believe him, but rather they felt he was using this purely as a pretext for the establishment to reduce resistance.

In this way, the chance of success could be greatly increased, and the voices of opposition could be greatly reduced.

The establishment of this Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire held many benefits.
