Chapter 1384: Li Yingqiong: Sweep the Realm First, Then Walk the Immortal Path (5/5, Please Subscribe)

"Looks like I need to plan this carefully." Li Yingqiong thought warily, "But I absolutely must not let Daddy know before I start cultivating, otherwise he'll worry again that I'm going to cause trouble."

Thinking this, Li Yingqiong opened the chat group.

Li Yingqiong: "If I go against the heavens and chop down the Emperor, I won't get in trouble, right?"

Su Xiao: "Against the heavens? No, it doesn't even qualify as going against the heavens. The Heavenly Dao doesn't care who sits on the throne!"

Su Xiao: "The reason there are no cultivators interfering in the mortal realm on your side is largely because of rules set down by the immortals. You just need to go against the immortals."

Li Yingqiong: "Is that so?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Indeed it is. Not only the immortals of the mortal realm, but the administrators of the Lingkong Immortal Realm will also make things difficult for you."

Li Yingqiong: "That's not right. The immortals of the Lingkong Immortal Realm aren't people of the Great Qing either. Why would they back the Great Qing?"

Hu Yifei: "They're not backing the Great Qing. The rule of non-interference in the mortal realm was set by them. They're merely upholding the rules they themselves established."

Su Xiao: "Most of those who ascended to the Lingkong Immortal Realm were Han people, weren't they? Why hasn't anyone opposed this?"

Zhang Taixuan: "They've all become immortals. Theoretically speaking, they're no longer the same species as the people on the ground. Would they oppose their own faction for the sake of the people below? Su Xiao, would you care about the life and death of a nest of ants at your doorstep?"

Su Xiao: "Of course not. But these immortals are way too heartless."

Zhang Taixuan: "How could they ascend without being heartless!"

Su Xiao: "Huh? What does being heartless have to do with ascending?"

Zhang Taixuan: "The ascension requirement of the Shushan world is: both inner and outer merit must be complete. Inner merit complete means one's cultivation base is sufficient; outer merit complete means one must sever karmic ties with the mortal realm. Even if you haven't fully severed them yourself, you must leave behind elixirs and magic treasures for your descendants to sever them for you. Such an ascender no longer has much connection with the mortal realm."

Su Xiao: "So that's the origin of those seniors' leftover treasures, right?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly. Once you receive a senior's magic treasure, you must resolve their karmic ties on their behalf. This is the same method as in Investiture of the Gods—taking on disciples to bear the tribulation for you."

Li Yingqiong: "... So the identity of my Ziying Sword Master came about the same way. Wield this sword, and you must fulfill your mission. This world is way too rigid. Unlike the worlds of my brothers and sisters, where you ascend whenever you want, with no rules at all."

Zhang Taixuan: "This is actually a good thing. If immortal power were left unchecked, it would be a disaster for mortals."

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course, immortals will feel constrained and uncomfortable in such an environment. But there's no helping it. Your world has developed for countless years, with many layers of heavenly realms and countless immortals. Without rules, that would be truly terrible—the real great harm to the mortal realm."

Li Yingqiong: "Then Brother Taixuan, should I still go against the Lingkong Immortal Realm?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Up to you."

Li Yingqiong: "Up to me? I just don't want my people to be bullied!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Then go ahead and do it. Your world isn't yet powerful enough to make our chat group fear it. Just act carefully. If something goes wrong, we'll naturally handle it."

Su Xiao: "Brother Taixuan is so biased. Why don't others get this kind of treatment? Little Sister Yingqiong, you have to be careful—Brother Taixuan is a total pervert."

Li Yingqiong: "... Sister Su, you've misunderstood Brother. Brother is absolutely not that kind of person!"

Su Xiao: "..."

Xiaomai: "I'm dying laughing!"

Li Yingqiong: "Brother Taixuan, I want to borrow some points. Oh wait, if I don't cultivate techniques and only cultivate the ordinary Taixuan Nine Great Divine Mantras, wouldn't that let me directly interfere in the world without being targeted by cultivators?"

Su Xiao: "Indeed. If you're a mortal fighting for dominance of the world, the cultivation world has no way to target you."

Hu Yifei: "More importantly, many of the immortals in the Lingkong Immortal Realm are Central Plains people. Bound by rules, they can't obstruct the Great Qing. But if you resist the Great Qing, other immortals who want to obstruct you will instead become your allies. I refuse to believe the Lingkong Immortal Realm is a monolithic block—there must be people who care about their homeland."

Li Yingqiong: "Right, right. Looks like I don't need to borrow points. Brother Taixuan, I'm going to build an invincible army and sweep across the realm. Once the world is at peace, I'll go cultivate immortality."

Lian Nichang: "This method sounds pretty good. I want to take a page from it. Your Majesty the Great Ancestor, the contract proposal you made earlier is void. I'll sweep across the realm myself. If Wu Zetian can be Emperor, so can I."

Su Xiao: "Heroine Lian, Wu Zetian isn't exactly a good role model. She had countless male favorites."

Lian Nichang: "??? I never said I wanted male favorites. I only said I want to sweep across the realm. What are you thinking? 【Stunned】"

Xiaomai: "Su Xiao is way out of line. Look at Miss Lian—is she that kind of person? Bringing this up is basically looking down on her."

Bai Zhi: "Exactly."

Li Yingqiong: "I've already gotten used to Sister Su being out of line, so this isn't surprising. Alright. I've downloaded the Taixuan Nine Great Divine Mantras—time to act. Establish a new dynasty, fulfill the ambitions of Father and me, then cultivate to become an immortal and live forever."

Li Yingqiong: "No, I want to be the King of Immortals, hehe!"

Su Xiao: "Goodness, little sister is really domineering."
