Chapter 729 The Great Dao is Without Contention
Above the celestial canopy, below the heavenly court.

In a place called the Outer Heaven, there flows a soul-destroying gale that has never ceased for ten thousand years, which can destroy both the physical body and the soul at any time.

Without the barrier of the Thirty-Three Heavens, those below the Ascension Realm can only pass through for a moment. Dao-proving experts can pass through or stay briefly based on their Fruit Position, but only a Dao-Merging expert at the Fourteenth Realm can occupy it for a long time.

The two were playing chess amidst the soul-destroying gales.

The old patriarch laughed and said, "Killing some ordinary ascendants, no more than ten or so, and they are all hopeless guys. Even if they really fought, it wouldn't determine the outcome. Now that Tianhu has fallen, Wuyang has used his supreme Daoist magic to capture Zhenming. His merit is immense, and no one in the past thousand years has been able to match him."

On the ground, the old monk Lotus remained silent for a moment.

He knew perfectly well how difficult it was to kill a Great Demon of the Dao Integration Realm. Although the Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox was not good at fighting, each of its tails was a complete resurrection. Even if it lost them all, it could recover after a few years of recuperation. Unfortunately, it just so happened to encounter the Buddha, who was most skilled at dealing with this kind of thing.

Compared to the immeasurable Buddhas in terms of "reincarnation," theoretically, whoever comes would also die.

Therefore, he has been paying close attention to Jiang's Daoist son recently, because he wants to find a way to "transcend reincarnation". After all, Jiang Wuyang is the only non-fifteenth-realm cultivator in ancient history to survive the Boundless Fist Light.

As for the so-called "great merit".

The old monk placed a stone and did not object.

Capturing the true name of the Heavenly Fox is tantamount to severing this path. Compared to the Great Master perishing together with the Holy Dragon, the result is much greater. Right now, it's equivalent to exchanging two Dao-proving beings for a fourteenth-realm great demon. The human race has undoubtedly made a huge profit.

"He's still too arrogant," commented the old monk Lotus.

The old patriarch sneered, "Looking across the world, there are quite a few people in the Immortal Perfection realm who are qualified to advance to the ordinary Ascension realm. They are just seeking the Dao. What are these Ascension realm people who are just there to make up the numbers? Wu Yang killed the Heavenly Fox, and his sins are wiped clean."

A black piece is placed, and the white pieces are forced to retreat.

The black and white pieces on the chessboard are of varying numbers and vastly different sizes. In fact, they are manifestations of the fortunes of the Jiang Clan and the Lotus Temple. The game is by no means a mere formality. If a battle were to break out, the winner of the game would have a much higher probability of winning.

Of course, this is not absolute.

The old monk with lotus flowers put his hands together, said "Amitabha," and his figure gradually faded and disappeared.

The old clan chief glanced at the human world and smiled.

With a thousand years of cultivation, he often wandered the mortal world and had some expertise in judging people. For a great talent like Wu Yang, sincerity was enough; there was no need for any superfluous schemes or constraints.

Upon his birth, he immediately attacked the Fufeng Holy Land and then destroyed the Zhaojing Blessed Land. In fact, since his birth, this Dao Child has never returned to the Jiang Clan. A whole generation of Ascension Realm cultivators who harbored ill will towards the Jiang Clan have died. The attitudes of the Yin Clan and the Dedao Mountain and other forces have also become clear.

With the Great Sword Immortal of the Dao as his sword and the trump card of recreating the Boundless Fist, and possessing various extraordinary abilities, Wu Yang chose to compromise during the previous mountain summit meeting. This was one aspect of the fact that the powerful figures were troublesome, but on the other hand, the Jiang family was indeed unable to withstand the hostility of the entire Central Continent, and it was inevitable that they would be caught in the crossfire.

"His temper is just really bad."

The old clan chief shook his head and chuckled before his figure vanished.

……

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

Jiang He walked on the jade steps, closed his left eye, and the land behind him was smoothed out. Buildings reappeared, and apart from the dead cultivators, most of the citizens of the capital returned to their bodies, allowing this core of the Great Qian Dynasty to regain its vitality and avoid being too desolate.

Some civil and military officials who did not have time to participate in the rebellion bowed respectfully on both sides of the jade steps, including the Grand Commander of the Imperial Palace and the Silver-Armored Imperial Guards. This force that protected Emperor Qian failed to catch up with him to his death and survived by chance.

If Jiang He is willing, he can succeed to the throne right now.

However, at this moment, the Great Qian Dynasty was a complete mess.

Jiang He went straight to the main hall of the palace and found the Imperial Seal of Emperor Qian. If the news were to spread by dawn, even he would no longer be able to draw upon the destiny of the Great Qian Dynasty through it.

Through the activation of their physical constitution and innate talents, the entire national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty over the past three hundred years was extracted, giving rise to a total of thirty legendary national fortune incense offerings.

After several hours, the grand court assembly began.

Jiang He doesn't care about loyalty or treachery; all he wants is divine money. By increasing taxes across the entire Great Qian Dynasty, he can at least reap some profits.

As dawn broke, all the officials took their leave.

[Note: A joint promotion mission has been released]
[Note: The objective of this mission is to advance to the pinnacle of the Heroic Era. Upon completion, animal companions Jiang Danglu and Wuhe will advance to the pinnacle of Heroic Era, while Zhuang Ya and Si Ning will advance to the ordinary Legendary Era.]
[任务要求：①击杀三尊合道生灵，参与度不低于70％（1/3）②独立击杀七名证道生灵（2/7）③摧毁妖族/人族，综合世界权重下降至5％以下]
The overall global weight is a standard of measurement.

Roughly speaking, it refers to the degree of existence of a group or ethnic group.

The difference in the existence of an ordinary demon and a great demon who has reached the Dao is naturally enormous. If the requirement drops below 5%, it is basically a total annihilation. However, it is permissible for some to slip through the net. It is worth mentioning that, as the darlings of heaven and earth, the demon race now includes the chosen ones of destiny.

Jiang He glanced at the hunting progress of the first two tasks. Clearly, the Xuanjian City Lord, the Qian Emperor, and the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox were all included, and there were no annoying situations.

"As expected of the origin."

As the gate to the blessed land rose, A-Da and the other two emerged. Without waiting for instructions, the three discussed the matter skillfully for a while before setting off to plunder the accumulated resources of the Great Qian royal family. By this time, the three had completed their advancement and were now at the level of Immortal Soldiers, which is also known as Legendary-level items, possessing near-Legendary combat power.

Inside the main hall, the prime minister hadn't left, but his face appeared somewhat pale due to the impact of the Xuanjian City Lord's actions.

"Your Majesty, I have a gift to present."

Still unaware that someone was the Daozi, and believing that the other party would definitely ascend the throne, the prime minister chose to express his opinion and take sides.

Jiang He did not answer.

The prime minister clapped his hands lightly, and two elders from the Jade Purity Realm brought over four women. In terms of appearance, they were all peerless beauties, possessing a primal charm of nine or ten and a half points.

The prime minister's daughter, the former empress princess, and the daughter of the Xuanjian City Lord—all four of the Great Qian Dynasty's most beautiful women were present. Among them, the city lord's daughter was the special envoy who had previously had a pleasant conversation with Qian Mang.

Jiang He said calmly, "The Great Qian will be renamed the Great Jing. The Lord of Jizhang Mountain will be appointed as the Heavenly Lord Protector of the Nation. The lineage of Qian Tuzi will be granted the title of National Preceptor. The Qian family will be demoted to Duke of Qian. You will handle all matters."

"Understood." The prime minister was overjoyed. He had survived a major calamity, and his only daughter even had a chance to become empress.

Jiang He waved her hand, signaling the guards and palace maids in the main hall to leave.

At the same time, he simply gestured for the four women to bow in respect before the emperor's throne.

The prime minister's daughter wept silently. If the prime minister hadn't promised to help rescue Qian Mang if she offered herself, she would rather die than enter the palace at this moment.

The Empress glanced at the princess, her expression complex. It seemed the two would soon be vying for the Emperor's favor in the new dynasty. The daughter of Xuanjian looked only fearful, for the Xuanjian City Lord's sudden attack left her with no chance of survival. Jiang He, neither wanting to talk nor interested in refusing, rolled up the skirts of the four women one by one and began her work.

"Oh……"

"Oh……"

……

Outside the capital.

Upon arriving here, Yuan Shengshen felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if divine intervention was secretly guiding him. He refused to enter the city no matter what.

Su Yaoyao and Luo Ling were helpless. The former said, "Brother Yuan, since you don't want to go into the city, let's hurry up and leave."

Luo Ling was somewhat troubled, unable to let go of the Luo Shen Clan, but thinking of Yuan Sheng Shen, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know an ancient teleportation array that can send us back to Zhongzhou. The situation in Daqian is chaotic recently, so it would be better to wait until things stabilize before returning."

Both women were urging him on, because Ye Bufan was relentlessly pursuing them.

The image of that fleeting glimpse of a figure flashed through Yuan Shengshen's mind. Yin Li had stolen his Sacred Dragon Luck, and it was time to go to Zhongzhou to reclaim it.

"Okay, let's leave."

The voice just fell.

In the distant forest, Ye Bufan flew in, stepping on the ancient altar.

All three were startled. If they didn't want to enter the city, they would have to take a detour and wouldn't be able to leave.

Tianfazi sighed, turned around and raised his hand. It wasn't that he was afraid of his opponent, but rather that he was instinctively unwilling to fight.

boom!
A lightning spell was activated, and a beam of blue lightning the size of a house descended from the sky.

"An immortal!" Ye Bufan's expression changed.

He couldn't understand why a dignified immortal would run away from him, leaving him completely unprepared.

At the critical moment, a figure dressed in pure white appeared.

The lightning shattered, and she stared blankly at Ye Bufan, two lines of clear tears streaming down her cold and beautiful face.

"elder brother……"

Ye Bufan was astonished. Suddenly, a powerful and stunningly beautiful woman appeared and recognized him as her brother. Anyone would be surprised.

Fei Xian calmed herself down, turned to look at Tian Fa Zi, and said coldly, "To attack him is to disrespect me, and he deserves to die."

The three Yuan Shengshen trembled all over; the power of their Dao attainment was overwhelming and unmatched.

Tianfazi sighed. This is why people cultivate mixed arts. Because no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. If you go out and encounter a powerful person suddenly, you will be in danger of dying at any time.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, I'm usually cautious."

"With my cultivation at the fourteenth level, seeing a Nascent Soul cultivator run away, even I felt unwilling. But this moment proves that the Great Dao is not wrong."

The next moment, an aura that swept across the heavens and earth erupted.

But Tianfazi remained unchanged, his expression calm.

His ability to survive twice from the Six Blessed Lands was not due to luck. His encounter with "Big Brother" on the bridge was not a deliberate act by Twilight to send players to their deaths, but rather a genuine chance of victory.

The suffix "子" (zi) can refer to an authority of a school of thought, a respectful title for a man, or a term of honor. However, "子" is not important. According to the standards of the secular court, there is only one person in the world who can be given the title "天罚" (tianfa).

The Heavenly Punishment Pavilion Master scanned the crowd.

Yuan Shengshen and the other two were dumbfounded. Fei Xian's cold face was equally stunned. Why would a level 14 expert be hanging around here? She didn't understand.

In an instant, the five thunderbolts formed the heavens and earth.

The Heavenly Punishment Pavilion Master used all his strength to suppress everyone present.

"If we launch a sneak attack to challenge the Dao across borders, our chances of winning will definitely increase. My elder brother asked me to follow Yuan Shengshen, probably to use the Son of Fortune as bait. However, Ye Bufan did not give me any prior instructions."

The Heavenly Punishment Pavilion Master flung Yuan Shengshen and the other two miles away.

He believed that, given the King of the Era's sophistication, he wouldn't have left no hidden tricks; Mo Ke definitely had the means to track the three of them, and that was indeed the case.

Fei Xian attacked wildly within the Five Thunder Prison, but could not stop the Five Thunder Heaven and Earth from shrinking and turning into a prison.

Fei Xian and Ye Bufan were eventually imprisoned inside two fist-sized thunder orbs, falling into the palm of the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion Master.

Because fate was in turmoil last night, even attracting the Great Demon of the Fourteenth Realm, the Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox, the fate of Nanzhao is currently in a state of drought, and no unexpected events have occurred.

The Heavenly Punishment Pavilion Master personally wrote a letter and sent it out along with the Thunder Pearl.

"To my esteemed elder brother, this is a gift from your younger brother..."

With his cultivation level exposed, he didn't plan to meet with Mo Ke. After all, the scoundrel's level was higher than his elder brother's, which would inevitably make his elder brother think too much. Scoundrel's teachings were already ingrained in his bones.

"It is an honor to meet you again someday, brother, and to share a drink with you... Your humble servant, Tianfa, respectfully presents this."

The letter and the thunder pearl ascended into the sky.

The figure of the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion Master vanished, transforming into lightning.

"The Great Way is without contention; Heaven and Earth are my domain."
