Vajra Body, Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm

A breakthrough that could only be described as a dream came to an end just like that. It's somewhat unbelievable; these days, even the Will of Heaven and Earth can be bribed?

Indeed, this world is extremely realistic. If you have no money or power, even a dog will look down on you; if you have money and power, even heaven and earth will look up to you.

After Yang Tianjiu Tribulation Transcendence and became Golden Core, along with Yunhua, the Yang Household now has five Golden Core Cultivators, eight Third Tier Spirit Beasts, and thirteen Golden Core Level combatants.

This number is already quite considerable, and it belongs to the Higher Vehicle tier among Golden Core Force.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, Fifth Granduncle Yang Dangmo, along with Wolf Ancestor, was sent to Goldwater Peak to oversee the area.

Thirteenth Brother Yang Tianjiu is still in charge of the Commerce Hall affairs. Yang Tianyou has actually realized that Thirteenth Brother's cultivation level is closely related to the development of the Commerce Hall, but he just didn't say it.

There are some things that even the closest brothers should keep a certain distance from.

Everyone has their own personal boundaries. If you truly respect them, it's best not to touch them rashly, otherwise, it's not impossible for brothers to turn against each other.

Time flowed slowly, and after reaching the Golden Core Realm, Yang Tianyou's concept of time became even more blurred.

A single retreat can last at least ten days, and it's not uncommon for it to last for half a year or even a year.

Three years later, in the courtyard, Yunhua was chatting and laughing with her mother, Duan Hongyu. After spending several years together, their relationship had become very harmonious, and at least Duan Hongyu no longer addressed Yunhua as "senior."

Suddenly, an exceptionally sharp and powerful Geng Metal Qi rose from the direction where Yang Tianyou was in seclusion, causing the Formation barrier that appeared in the sky to ripple.

"Tianyou has broken through?" Duan Hongyu asked in surprise.

"It's not a breakthrough in cultivation, but rather a deeper understanding of the Metal Element Dao!" Yunhua put a finger-sized purple fruit into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and said softly.

"The Dao of Heaven and Earth..." Duan Hongyu understood, then looked up at the sky not far away.

There, the pale Geng Metal Qi, like a raging sea Flood Dragon, surged wildly in the sky above the courtyard. If it weren't for the Formation set up by Yunhua, it might have caused a great commotion and attracted the clansmen.

After a short while, the Geng Metal Qi subsided, but Yang Tianyou did not appear.

Yunhua and the other person didn't pay any attention and continued chatting.

At this moment, in the Seclusion Chamber.

Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged with his five palms facing the sky, surrounded by a brilliant golden light, like a golden Buddha, shrouded in Buddha's light, majestic and solemn.

He activated the Melt Gold Body Refinement Divine Ability, took out a piece of Third-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Gold that he had prepared beforehand, and began to refine it.

The Melt Gold Flames rose up, and the Spirit Gold in his palm quickly melted, turning into strands of golden liquid that merged into his body.

Buzz!!

Spirit Mark emerged from the surface of the skin. These Spirit Mark were all different, but without exception, they all exuded an indestructible and immovable aura.

Metal Element Dao Great Achievement, the shackles of Melt Gold Body Refinement will also disappear. As long as there are enough resources, it is entirely possible to cultivate it to the first Great Achievement in First Heaven, forging a powerful physique comparable to high- Third-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Gold.

Ten days later, the door to the Seclusion Chamber suddenly burst open, startling Zhiming, who was lying outside taking a nap.

"What's Wang Shan up to? Has he contacted anyone suspicious?" Yang Tianyou asked casually, stretching.

"No."

Zhiming shook his head, then said hesitantly, "It's this person who has been getting quite close to a female member of the Lineage over the past year, and the two often meet in private."

"A female member of the tribe?" Yang Tianyou was taken aback, then fell silent. "Have you looked up this woman's name?"

"I checked, her name is Yang Xuanying, she's at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and she's an elite disciple of the Lineage!" Zhiming said, then suggested, "Master, should we have the patriarch speak to Yang Xuanying and tell her not to get so close to Wang Shan?"

Yang Tianyou paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly. "Forget it, let nature take its course. If he really gets together with Yang Xuanying and plans to marry into my Yang Household, then let's abandon our previous plan and try a gentler approach. Maybe that will yield better results..."

In a flash, Yang Tianyou conceived a vague plan: to help Wang Shan rebuild the Myriad Forms Sect, with the Yang Household controlling it from behind the scenes...

It should be understood that the Myriad Manifestations Sect was destroyed in order to resist the Devil Cultivators. Other forces in the Northern River Region actually owe the Myriad Forms Sect some Karma.

If the disciples of the Myriad Forms Sect are disappointing, that's fine. But if they can rise against the odds, even if they only have two or three Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, they'll be fine.

So, Mo Province, which is currently embroiled in a power struggle, may very well return to the hands of the Myriad Forms Sect, or at the very least, they will be able to take half of the territory.

Just like the Qin Household before them, they fought against the Devil Cultivators in the Immortal-Demon War and demons, but ultimately lost Qin Province.

However, the descendants of the Qin Household lived up to expectations and, after several hundred years, rose again. Finally, witnessed by the three Sacred Land and many Upper Sects and Aristocratic Clan, they shared Qin Province with the Mountain and River Hall and monopolized the five prefectures.

This is the biggest difference between the Immortal Dao path and the Orthodox and Demonic Paths. On the Immortal Dao path, strength is indeed the most important factor, but in addition to strength, many other things such as reputation, Karma, balance, and morality also have a significant influence.

Within the Northern River Region, even Sacred Land Sects cannot act recklessly relying on their strength.

There are Sacred Land that did this, but without exception, they were all overthrown by other forces working together.

Ultimately, this world is too big, and there are countless talented and extraordinary people.

Anyone who attempts to rule the world through hegemony must, unless they possess overwhelming power, abide by rules, understand human relationships and the art of balance; otherwise, they simply cannot survive in the long run.

Why has the Seven Stars Sacred Land been able to stand in the Northern River Region for two hundred thousand years?

It is precisely because this Sacred Land knows how to conduct itself that its disciples act gently and discreetly. In addition, the sect is highly respected and enjoys the support of other forces. Even if there are occasional calamities, they can easily overcome them.

In the past, even when unparalleled geniuses rose to prominence, they rarely targeted the Seven Stars Sacred Land. Why?

The answer is simple: a large portion of these prodigies received assistance from the Seven Stars Sacred Land during their youth.

Just like Yang Tianjiu, without saying anything else, I'll give you a Foundation Establishment Pill and a Divine Ability Cultivation Method first.

Okay, even if conflicts arise later.

For the sake of the fact that I helped you when you were weak, could you please let this go?

As long as the conflict is minor and the person has normal thinking, they will give the Seven Stars Sacred Land this face.

Without minor conflicts, major conflicts cannot accumulate, and naturally, the Seven Stars Sacred Land encounters fewer troubles, which is why it has been able to stand firm and Flourishing to this day.

Upon arriving outside the courtyard, it was deserted. Yunhua was in seclusion, his parents were not at home, and the Spirit Beasts were all busy with their own affairs. Only Zhiming was by his side.

In this light, it's not without reason that Yang Tianyou dotes on Zhiming; after all, who doesn't like a little black dog that's always clinging to them?

Ten days later, Yunhua emerged from her Seclusion Chamber, a Communication Talisman clutched in her delicate hand.

"Beigong Sect Master has sent word that the Guanghan Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm will officially open in one year. We are to prepare ourselves and depart for Luochuan City in six months!"

"Six months later? So soon?" Yang Tianyou was taken aback.

"Yes, there are limited spots available to enter the illusion, so you need to arrive early!" Yunhua explained.

"Competing for power? And the forces under the Qin Household's control?"

"That's right! There are only one hundred Golden Core spots, ten for Perfection, and thirty each for the early, middle, Late Stages, so the competition will be fierce!" Yunhua's expression was somewhat solemn.

Will all the Commandery-Level Powers in Qin Province participate?

"Yes, the Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm opens only once every thousand years. I believe all the major powers will seize this excellent opportunity to train their disciples!"

"Can Foundation Establishment Cultivators enter?" Yang Tianyou asked.

"Yes, there are a thousand spots for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but within the Lineage, I estimate that only Xuanyun has the strength to compete for one." Yunhua sighed.

"It's alright, bring a few more. It's a good thing to be able to spar with disciples from other major powers!" Yang Tianyou smiled nonchalantly. Whether or not he entered the Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm was secondary; he couldn't miss such an eye-opening opportunity.
