243: Prince Tianji

At this moment, Tang Chuan was still cultivating.

He sat cross-legged on the sea, with waves crashing against his sides, yet not touching him in the slightest, a truly miraculous sight.

You gently raised your hand, instantly pulling him out of the Supreme Dao Pearl and into the outside world.

"Hm?!"

The sudden change surprised Tang Chuan, but before he could recover, he felt a powerful force extracting his Divine Soul.

In an instant, a flood of memories poured into your mind.

However, what surprised you was that although the two Tang Chuans in front of you shared the same name and even looked identical,

Their memories and experiences were completely different.

Throughout their vast life paths, there was no point of correlation between them.

This left you somewhat puzzled.

But the suspicion in your heart did not diminish in the slightest.

There must be something they had in common.

You ordered your Black Robed People subordinates to imprison the two Tang Chuans separately, while you proceeded to perform a soul search on another Cultivator who used the Dao Spirit Cultivation Method.

A flood of memories poured into your mind.

You successfully obtained a Dao Spirit Cultivation Method identical to the one in the other Tang Chuan's mind.

"It seems this is the Dao Spirit Cultivation Method; there's no mistake."

You savored it carefully in your mind.

The Dao Spirit Cultivation Method and the Dao Body Cultivation Method were practically identical in ninety percent of their aspects, only differing in the way they absorbed Dao Yuan.

Cultivators using the Dao Spirit Cultivation Method absolutely must not ingest large amounts of Dao Yuan.

Otherwise, at best, their cultivation would stagnate; at worst, they would suffer a Qi Deviation and die on the spot.

Upon seeing this, you knew that this was likely the fundamental reason your cultivation had not progressed.

All Cultivators in the Jidao World followed the Dao Spirit Cultivation Method, which meant you were unaware of other cultivation paths in the world.

So, when you first arrived in this world, you absorbed Dao Yuan into your body and Broke through to an extremely strange Realm.

He had neither the auxiliary effects of a Dao Body nor the Divine Soul enhancement of a Dao Spirit.

Furthermore, the conflict between the two caused your cultivation to stagnate.

After a long while, you sighed heavily, able to only place your hopes on the Power of Leadership, slowly making improvements.

The 131,200th year.

You discovered that the Cultivators of the Six Paths Demonic Palace were capturing young Cultivators with strong vitality to refine pills.

You immediately put a stop to their actions.

Although you also employed some unscrupulous methods, "eating people" was still too difficult for you to accept.

However, as compensation, you gave them the Alchemy secret manual from the Qingchi Sect.

Although the Qingchi Sect was weak, this Alchemy secret manual was quite advanced.

In this secret manual, human pills could be replaced by Yao Beasts with vigorous flesh and blood power.

Just like that, time passed bit by bit.

Under your leadership, the Six Paths Demonic Palace grew stronger.

And those Six Paths Demonic Palace Cultivators you forcibly ruled gradually accepted your existence.

With the blessing of the Power of Leadership, your cultivation received a huge boost.

Although you didn't know what Realm you were currently in, this was ultimately a good thing.

At this time, when you encountered most Dao Lotus Realm Six Paths Demonic Palace Cultivators, you could trigger Overcoming to Subdue, thereby immunizing yourself from any of their attacks.

The 131,500th year.

With no hope of further cultivation Breakthrough, you simply had your subordinates begin expanding their sphere of influence and extensively recruiting Cultivators.

"Ah? Palace Master, our Six Paths Demonic Palace has always pursued excellence and rarely recruited Loose Cultivators..."

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying aura instantly filled the entire main hall.

When the aura dissipated, a Dao Lotus had appeared beneath the Cultivator who had just raised the question!

"The Master's orders are not to be defied. Go!"

A voice as cold as frost echoed through the hall, and many Black Robed Cultivators instantly vanished from their original positions.

"Sigh, A'zi, I've told you to be kinder to your subordinate Cultivators..."

You sighed slightly.

The person who had just acted was the Six Paths Demonic Empress.

Her true name was Gu Ziyan, and she left her hometown to establish the Six Paths Demonic Palace in this remote area.

As for her former Family...

That was truly a behemoth.

According to Gu Ziyan, even with her strength, she would only be considered mid-tier within the entire Gu Family.

When you first discovered Gu Ziyan's identity, your scalp tingled.

Fortunately, the Cultivators in the Six Paths Demonic Palace were unaware of her true identity, and coupled with the extremely clever "Submit to Me as Master" talent, the soul lamp Gu Ziyan left in the Gu Family showed no abnormalities.

The 131,800th year.

The Six Paths Demonic Palace's influence grew stronger.

Your cultivation also continued to rise.

At the same time, over these years, with Gu Ziyan's help, you explored many famous mountains and great rivers in the vicinity and obtained a large amount of cultivation resources through the Year Wheel Gift.

Although you currently had no use for these items, you could bestow them upon your subordinate Six Paths Demonic Palace Cultivators to improve their cultivation and loyalty.

"Report..."

"Palace Master, Crown Prince Tianji of the Tianji Immortal Court requests an audience!"

"Tianji Immortal Court?"

You frowned slightly.

Although you had rarely interacted with the outside world these years, you were well aware of the situation of the surrounding forces.

The great world you were currently in was called the Taiyi Realm, and excluding the Taiyin Realm on the back, it was divided into more than thirty large and small regions.

And your current location was the Linyuan Region, a corner of the Taiyin Realm.

It was named for being backed by the Taiyin Realm.

Excluding the Six Paths Demonic Palace you currently controlled, there were six major top-tier forces.

They were the Tianji Immortal Court, Zhengyang Palace, Jinyu Gate, Moling Sect, Ghost God Tower, and the Murong Family.

Each of them had Dao Palace Cultivators overseeing them.

The Six Paths Demonic Palace and the Tianji Immortal Court had been at odds for a long time, so why would Crown Prince Tianji, the future Emperor of the Tianji Immortal Court, seek you out?

You were somewhat puzzled, but after much deliberation, you finally decided to meet this Crown Prince Tianji.

A few breaths later.

Crown Prince Tianji, having received your permission, quickly entered the main hall.

After a slight bow, he stated his purpose.

He explained that one of his imperial brothers had risen unexpectedly, threatening his position as Crown Prince.

If you could help him eliminate this imperial brother, he would not only give you a vast amount of resources but also allow the Six Paths Demonic Palace to freely recruit Cultivators within the Tianji Immortal Court's territory without any obstruction.
