Upheaval in the Imperial Palace

The Heavenly Policy Mansion has also changed its ranking list. In the past, the Heavenly List only recorded those below the Grandmaster level, and no one dared to touch the Grandmaster Realm. But now it is completely different. All Grandmaster experts are listed on it, but no one dares to cause trouble for the Heavenly Policy Mansion because of this.

The biggest beneficiary of this change is the Great Qian Dynasty; those one hundred slots mean one hundred experts.

Furthermore, the exchanged Spirit Spring Water was enough to create the Great Qian Dynasty's golden age.

During this year, Prince Qing Li Cunguo, Great General Chen Ao, Demon Suppression Division Demon Suppression General Lai Tianfeng, and Mansion Master Heavenly Policy Mansion Zuo Songhe all broke through to the Grandmaster Realm.

The four Grandmaster were all generals of the Great Qian Dynasty, not ordinary retainers. If they were to deploy their military formations, they could fight against those Beyond Grandmaster level. In an instant, the atmosphere of the Martial World changed dramatically, and the reputation of the Imperial Court shook the world.

However, no one has yet broken through from the Dao Embryo Realm to the Dao Fire Realm. There are already few Dao Embryo Grandmaster in the Great Qian, and it is extremely difficult to accumulate to the Peak the Dao Embryo Realm. It cannot be done in a short time.

The appearance of Spiritual Qi nourished this almost barren land, and the production of various grains in the Great Qian Dynasty nearly doubled compared to previous years.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge knows that all these changes were brought about by North Spring Mountain.

The name of the Immortal Mountain spread throughout the world, and even the Great Zhou Dynasty had experts who traveled over mountains and valleys to visit it.

Every month, the Great Qian Dynasty would send the Exotic Object it collected to North Spring Mountain in exchange for the Spirit Spring Water.

Although this world is barren, the resources of this entire nation are more than enough to support Gu Yuanqing alone.

In fact, apart from Phoenix Gold and Seven Colored Cloud Iron, Gu Yuanqing had already stored enough for the entire Divine Platform Realm, but he still exchanged the Spirit Water for it.

This Spirit Water was inexhaustible for him; having exchanged it for Exotic Object, he could use it for other purposes in the future.

Gu Yuanqing's cultivation has reached the Second Divine Platform, and what limits him from advancing further are the Phoenix Gold and the Seven Colored Cloud Iron. Of course, if he were willing to compromise, he could use other Exotic Object instead, but Gu Yuanqing is not willing to do so for the time being.

The most significant change, however, remains in North Spring Mountain itself.

As Gu Yuanqing's realm Transformation, North Spring Mountain's growth was like a wild horse breaking free of its reins, changing every day under the nourishment of Demonic Qi.

A year has passed, North Spring Mountain has grown to over two thousand feet high, towering majestically and reaching straight into the clouds.

The area Mountain was more than ten times larger, and under Gu Yuanqing's conscious guidance, its terrain gradually began to be divided into layers, and the distance between houses Courtyard became larger and larger.

Within a radius of about 500 zhang from the mountaintop, only Gu Yuanqing and Aunt Feng were present.

Further down in the Courtyard, about 700 feet from the mountaintop, only Li Shi'an and Ji Dai were practicing.

Zhang Xuanlin and Ji Qingyun were still imprisoned on the Repentance Cliff, but the Repentance Cliff was now several times larger than before.

As for the others, they were all at the foot of the mountain.

The mountains and forests are dense, shrouded in Cloudmist, creating ever-changing weather.

From bottom to top, one can experience the four seasons: spring with its blooming flowers, summer with its lush greenery, autumn with its golden hues, and winter with its snowy landscape.

There was also a scene where spring and autumn changed overnight, a sight that left Li Shi'an and Ji Dai, who were cultivating in seclusion on the mountain, dumbfounded.

They were both Cultivator, but when they saw Gu Yuanqing's abilities, they could only describe it as astonishment. The more they saw, the more they felt that the word "Immortal" was very fitting.

All of this is simply Gu Yuanqing demonstrating the Dao he has observed through the technique of Object Control.

The area down the mountain has been quite lively lately, because the Great Qian Imperial Court has selected ten people from a hundred slots to reward those from the Martial World and Sect. The requirements are simple: anyone under the age of thirty who ranks in the top ten in the Within North Spring Mountain.

This move was intended to win Human Heart, and all the young masters in the Martial World flocked to it. Although it was only a one-year opportunity to cultivate, it was within the Immortal Mountain, not outside.

Many young talents gathered here for their arena battles, attracting even more spectators.

Even Gu Yuanqing would occasionally lower his gaze and glance at it. Although the battles at the True Martial Realm no longer offered him any help, they were still a bit of fun.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing finally couldn't stand the Cultivation Method practiced by the people at the foot of the mountain. In his opinion, most of these Cultivation Method were full of flaws, and the limit was reached at the True Martial Realm. Cultivation Method that could lead to the formation of Dao Embryo were rare.

Continuing like this is a complete waste of time and the Spiritual Qi of this Mountain.

He then took some free time to deduce and record the Cultivation Method from the foot of the mountain, and handed them over to Li Shi'an.

"I plan to build a Scripture Pavilion at the foot of the mountain, where all the Cultivation Method I have deduced will be placed. In the future, Calculation Dao Fire and Divine Platform Method will be placed there. If anyone wants to view them, they will have to exchange them for something else. This matter will also be handed over to the Great Qian Imperial Court. The Great Qian will receive 30% of the proceeds. What do you think, senior?"

Li Shi'an casually picked up a few Secret Manuals and was shocked. There were hundreds of these Cultivation Method, and he could vaguely see the shadows of the original Cultivation Method. However, after being modified, almost every one of them could be cultivated to the level of Grandmaster.

He said solemnly, "Old Man understand what Young Master Gu means, but these Secret Manuals are far too valuable. If they were to fall into the Martial World, each one could potentially cause a bloodbath."

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "That's true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have entrusted this to the Imperial Court. The Great Qian Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, so handling this kind of matter is naturally a piece of cake for them."

Li Shi'an didn't understand whether Gu Yuanqing's move had any ulterior motives, but he still agreed.

Before leaving, Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly and said, "Senior Li, the Floating World won't remain just the Floating World forever."

Back on the mountaintop, Gu Yuanqing sensed the fluctuations in the space above North Spring Mountain, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

The power of North Spring Mountain is increasing dramatically every day. Logically, it should have already fallen into the Demon Realm. As it grows stronger, it should have broken through the restrictions of this Floating World, or taken the Floating World with it and completely fallen into the Demon Realm.

But that's not actually the case. Judging from the Spatial Fluctuation coming from the North Spring Peak, it's clear that they're trying to break into another world.

The first thing that came to Gu Yuanqing's mind was the Cultivation World.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed, but the thought of the two Heavenly Human Split Soul in the Floating World made him frown slightly. Once he broke into the Cultivation World, he would have to face their Celestial Person beings in their true forms, which would be a huge problem.

"What will this mountain eventually look like? Nascent Cave Heaven? It seems no other Grotto-Heaven would span so many realms."

Gu Yuanqing was somewhat helpless about this, as the power of North Spring Mountain was far stronger than his own. Even if Man-Mountain Unity, he could only borrow its power and could not change its original growth trend.

"Let's wait and see. My cultivation at the Divine Platform Realm is still lacking in some areas, and the Human Race is engaged in a great war in the Demon Realm, making it unsuitable for travel. If I were to enter the Cultivation World, perhaps I could find a way to locate the Exotic Object I need."

Inside the Imperial Palace, Li Haotian had just finished the morning court session and was preparing to meet with several ministers privately.

A eunuch rushed over in a panic and said a few words to Xu Lianying, Xu Lianying expression immediately changed.

Li Haotian looked up and asked, "Daban, what happened?"

Xu Lianying immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, the young prince suddenly cried out in pain and collapsed in the Imperial Garden, and is still unconscious."
