The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"and many more……"

Yang Xuance suddenly shouted at Yang Chao's back.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chao turned around and looked at Yang Xuance with a respectful expression.

"For all brothers who died in battle, their pensions must be delivered to their homes."

"Ensure the livelihood of their parents and children."

"Their children can be given priority to enter the reserve camp for training."

"If there are already young members in the reserve camp, they will be given priority to be selected for the Star Guard."

Yang Xuance remained silent for a moment, then gave Yang Chao some instructions.

As one of his most important forces, the Star Guardians were not to be underestimated.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yang Chao said solemnly, "Your subordinate will never let the young master down!"

Yang Xuance nodded slightly and remained silent.

Yang Chao bowed and then turned to leave.

"Sect Leader Xiao, Xuan Ce hopes that you can lend me a hand!"

After watching Yang Chao's figure disappear, Yang Xuance clasped his hands together and said with a sincere expression.

Although once the Great Struggle arrives, neither the Celestial Immortal Realm nor the True Immortal Realm will be suppressed by Heaven and Earth.

And the experts under his command from the Hongnong Yang Clan, Tianjian Sect, and Dongyang Family will certainly be able to go all out.

Even the three great masters of the Hongnong Yang Clan—Ancestor Yang Changtian, Ancestor Tianjian, and Ancestor Dongyang—have a chance to reach the True Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.

However, he did not know whether the True Immortal Realm would be suppressed by heaven and earth.

After all, even if a great era of contention truly arrives, it won't happen overnight.

The arrival of an era of great contention will have the most direct impact not on the clarification of the rules of heaven and earth, but on the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become incredibly rich, at least ten times richer than it is now.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a realm above the True Immortal Realm to be born.

However, the emergence of a Xuanxian realm expert above the True Immortal realm does not necessarily mean that the Xuanxian realm expert will be able to use their full strength.

During the Great Struggle, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually increased, from being more than ten times more concentrated at the beginning to dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more concentrated.

As time goes by, not to mention those at the Profound Immortal Realm, even those above the Profound Immortal Realm will be born in large numbers.

only……

As things stand, he couldn't guarantee that if Yang Changtian and the other two reached the Xuanxian realm and were unable to act, they would be able to kill Chu Xiu.

Or, even if they could kill Chu Xiu.

Someone definitely needs to keep Qi Tianchen, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, occupied.

Xiao Zhenting is a very suitable candidate.

Once the era of great contention arrives, he suspects that figures like Qi Tianchen and Xiao Zhenting are definitely not just those who have stepped from the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm to the peak of the ninth level of the Heaven Immortal Realm.

He felt it was perfectly normal for him to reach the True Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.

"Nephew, you are too kind. If I am ever needed to help, I will do my best and will not let you down."

"Even if Chu Xiu doesn't die, we must do our best to eliminate the elite Jinyiwei under his command."

"Without the elite Imperial Guards, Chu Xiu is no longer a threat!"

Xiao Zhenting appeared out of thin air in the hall, looking at Yang Xuance with a smile.

He, like Chu Xiu, wanted to get rid of him.

Chu Xiu posed a significant threat to him as well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the special trip from Jizhou to Xuzhou.

"Thank you, Master Xiao."

Yang Xuance cupped his hands in gratitude to Xiao Zhenting and said.

They now share a common enemy, making them allies.

At least for now, they have no conflict of interest.

Xiao Zhenting smiled calmly and disappeared from the hall.

After watching Xiao Zhenting leave, Yang Xuance strode out of the governor's mansion hall with the air of a dragon and the stride of a tiger.

Less than a moment.

All the experts in the governor's mansion, as well as all of Yang Xuance's loyal followers, vanished without a trace.

On the surface, the governor's mansion appears unchanged, but in reality, it is staffed with ordinary guards, maids, and servants.

Even if all these people died in the governor's mansion, it would not have any impact on Yang Xuance's strength.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, three days had passed.

Suddenly!

Rumble!

A deafening thunderclap resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Then, the spiritual energy of the entire world began to surge.

The rules of heaven and earth also began to become clear at this moment.

Whether it was the Great Zhou Dynasty, the barbarian tribes, or the demon races, at this moment, terrifying auras appeared everywhere.

One by one, at the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, as the rules of heaven and earth became clear and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, their cultivation level naturally stepped into the Profound Immortal Realm.

As for which level of cultivation they have reached in the Profound Immortal Realm, that depends on their previous accumulation and understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

Those with less accumulated experience only reached the first level of the Profound Immortal Realm, while those with more substantial experience ascended to the fifth level of the Profound Immortal Realm from the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, or even the sixth level of the Profound Immortal Realm!

It is important to know that the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through.

They reached the fifth or even sixth level of the Profound Immortal Realm right after breaking through, which saved them a lot of time.

boom!

Within the city of Shouchun.

An inn.

An incredibly powerful aura erupted.

and!

This aura is still growing stronger!

From the first level of the Celestial Immortal Realm, it skyrocketed all the way to the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm!

"The Imperial Advisor has broken through!"

Chu Xiu stood outside the inn, staring intently into the inn, and said with a smile on his face.

Fang Heng and the others also stood behind Chu Xiu.

After all, with the arrival of the era of great strife, they would feel more secure once Qi Tianchen's cultivation level broke through.

Otherwise, even with their Killing Blade Formation, they still wouldn't be able to withstand Yang Xuance.

"My lord, why is the aura emanating from the Imperial Advisor still strengthening?"

"Could it be that the Imperial Preceptor is about to step into the Realm of True Immortality?"

Mo Xuanjia, the governor of Yangzhou, sensed that Qi Tianchen's aura was still growing stronger and couldn't help but show his excitement as he spoke.

"should be."

"The Imperial Preceptor is truly the number one person in the world in our Great Zhou Dynasty, even if he was previously limited by the heavens and earth."

"But the number one person in the world is still the number one person in the world."

"The Imperial Preceptor's talent and aptitude are far inferior to those of Xiao Zhenting, the leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect. Now that he no longer suppresses his cultivation level, he will naturally achieve success."

Chu Xiu smiled lightly and said, "It's quite normal to step into the True Immortal Realm in one fell swoop."

"Now that the Imperial Preceptor has stepped into the Realm of True Immortals, we can finally rest assured."

Mo Xuanjia felt a great weight lifted from his heart and said with a relieved expression.

As the governor of Yangzhou, Mo Xuanjia was under tremendous pressure.

After all, he knew that the three ancestors of the Hongnong Yang Clan—Yang Changtian, Tianjian, and Dongyang—would surely be able to reach the Xuanxian Realm, which is above the True Immortal Realm.

Besides them, these three families may also have experts at the True Immortal Realm level, or even produce such experts.

If Qi Tianchen cannot reach the True Immortal Realm, he doesn't even know if Qi Tianchen can stop Yang Xuance.

If it can't be stopped...

Yangzhou would then fall into the hands of Yang Xuance.

Yangzhou is gone, Jingzhou is next!

The Great Zhou Dynasty is in grave danger!

Boom!

An even more powerful aura erupted, and Qi Tianchen's cultivation level broke through from the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the minor completion of the first level of the True Immortal Realm!
