Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Qiu Chengde had paved the way for his disciple many years ago. The staff left by the Prince of Quan was originally prepared as a gift for ascending to the next level. Now that Zhou Qingfeng's cultivation level has reached the level required for ascension, there is no need to keep it hidden. It is better to give it to the disciple sooner so that the disciple can enjoy it sooner.

Once Zhou Qingfeng reaches the Poisonous Eater Realm, he will immediately have a trump card to defeat his enemies.

After paying his respects to his master, Zhou Qingfeng stayed to have lunch with him. The two had a simple, healthy meal. After lunch, Zhou Qingfeng spent the entire afternoon asking his master about cultivation issues, especially the things he needed to pay attention to when ascending to the Poisonous Food Realm.

The Poisonous Realm is a watershed moment. Ascending it is different from before, and a sacrificial ceremony is required.

There are many sacrificial rituals that still exist in the world, but when they are subdivided into different categories, each category of sacrificial ritual is quite rare, and there are not many to choose from.

For example, in the rules of power and the most powerful sacrificial rituals, it is common knowledge and there is no dispute that it belongs to the emperor.

However, the emperor could not choose, and the first family did not have this sacrificial ceremony, nor could they bring it out even if they did.

Because the Python Sparrow Empire had only one emperor, namely Emperor Gengshi.

With the Emperor above, who dares to perform rituals and claim the title of Emperor?

I don't want to live anymore, I still want to play Forbidden Clan Match.

Even if we were to offer gifts to the Five Turbid Heavenly Dao, it wouldn't necessarily complete the sacrificial ceremony. The sacrificial ceremony isn't simply about offering the Five Poisonous Hearts to the Five Turbid Heavenly Dao and then directly receiving the baptism of its rules; there are still procedures to follow.

For example, in the sacrificial ceremony for the 'Emperor', to become an emperor, the prerequisites are having civil and military officials, an imperial title, and a large, unified empire. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be qualified to perform the sacrificial ceremony and become emperor.

Qiu Chengde told Zhou Qingfeng a short story.

As we all know, the principle of the "Heart-Free School" is to be free and do whatever one pleases.

A lone, eccentric demon is not that scary. As long as you don't provoke him and you're lucky, he's not that dangerous. After all, an eccentric demon just does whatever he wants and isn't a mindless killing machine.

If two ruthless demons appear together, they are most likely carrying out a secret mission or fighting each other. In this case, it's not too bad. Just pretend you didn't see anything and leave. There is probably no risk of death.

But if three eccentric demons from the Renxin Sect gathered together, that would be terrifying, because among the three, one of them would inevitably become a genius.

Ordinary people are fine, but three wicked people with reckless hearts working together to cause trouble is simply deadly.

This short story tells of a shocking event orchestrated by three wicked and eccentric individuals working together.

I wonder which of the eccentric characters on "Oddball Talk" wants to try and see if they can become emperor through ritual.

The problem is that the Python Sparrow Empire only has one emperor. Anyone who dares to perform rituals and claim the title of emperor will be annihilated by the strongest people in the entire empire. This is because an empire cannot have two emperors. After all, there cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two rulers in the world. In other words, this path is directly blocked.

The three of them conspired to take a shortcut and created a miniature world for their experiment. They set up a small, well-organized imperial court, captured a group of children, erased all their memories, and instilled in them identity recognition and cultivation methods.

In this way, the miniature world contained three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, a prime minister, a marshal, civil and military officials, common people, and an emperor. Three heartless demons hid behind the scenes, silently observing them and guiding the emperor to perform sacrificial rituals, hoping to deceive the Five Turbid Heavenly Dao.

After all, the small world is also a unified empire, with civil and military officials, common people, and concubines. Although this is somewhat of a trick, in theory, the sacrificial ceremony has a chance of success.

The world will never lack 'geniuses' who dare to think, act, and explore.

Especially the 'geniuses' of the Renxin faction, they are truly a bunch of living fathers.

It took more than two hundred years, and they actually managed to cultivate a mini version of a pseudo-emperor.

Although this pseudo-emperor was quite incompetent, with an empire population of only a few hundred, he did indeed possess the power and rules of an emperor.

Such a treasonous act is tantamount to stealing supreme power from the true emperor.

When a false emperor appears in the world, how could the real emperor not know? The matter escalated instantly, and the emperor was furious, sending people to suppress him.

Just as the Food Purity World fell into evil, the three ruthless demons timed their escape perfectly and fled to the Food Purity World to avoid trouble. They didn't care how much chaos they caused, since they couldn't fight them head-on, but running away was their specialty, and each of them had their own methods.

Getting back to the main point, sacrificial rituals are also divided into unique and non-unique. The sacrificial rituals represented by the unique power rules are those of the 'Emperor', while the sacrificial rituals represented by the non-unique power rules are relatively more numerous, but still very limited, with very few to choose from.

Slave owner, judge, general, prime minister, lord, landowner, official, religious leader, priest.

If you really break it down into specific categories, there are only a tiny number of them. It's not like you have hundreds or thousands of sacrificial rituals to choose from. Moreover, among these few sacrificial rituals, some follow the path of theocracy, so the sacrificial rituals that follow the path of theocracy are the first to be excluded.

The remaining options are nothing more than slave owner, judge, lord, prime minister, general, official, and landlord.

"In Master's opinion, which sacrificial ceremony should I choose?" Inside the small courtyard, Zhou Qingfeng poured a cup of tea for his master and respectfully asked for his opinion. After all, his master had more experience than he had, and listening to the advice of predecessors would help him avoid taking detours.

Qiu Chengde took the tea, took a sip, and smiled slightly: "The title of lord or prime minister is more suitable for you. No matter which one you choose, with your current conditions, you will be able to successfully complete the sacrificial ceremony and ascend to the Poison-Eating Realm. Of course, you don't necessarily have to choose one of the two. You can go into the First Scripture Pavilion and choose carefully until you find one that satisfies you. I am just offering a suggestion for your reference."

Zhou Qingfeng sat solemnly to the side, cupping his hands in response: "I will keep Master's words in mind."

Qiu Chengde stroked his beard and smiled, nodding as he said, “Cultivation cannot be delayed, but official business cannot be neglected either. While you are still on leave, hurry up and select a suitable sacrificial ceremony. Return to the Plum Blossom Division in a few days to take charge of the overall situation. Some things cannot be left to your subordinates alone.”

“Recently, people from other places have been coming to Denglong, causing a lot of trouble in the past six months.”

"However, things are not very stable in the city right now, and there are undercurrents."

"The lady has deployed the Imperial Guards to patrol the streets to deter petty thieves."

"The situation is becoming increasingly tense. Sigh, never mind, I'll explain it to you in detail when you return to the Censorate after your leave."

"Go on, it's getting late, so I won't keep you for dinner. Go back to your residence, and we'll go to the Scripture Pavilion early tomorrow morning to choose the sacrificial ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng understood immediately, stood up, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Yes, Master, I'll take my leave now."
