My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1235 - 1187: A Thousand Years Soul Returns to Hometown
Even though the paper strength of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi has expanded rapidly, at this stage, it is still far from enough to contend with the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization.
Thus, the initial stage of the plan still focuses on infiltration and erosion.
More than half a year ago during the great upheaval in the Xuanhuang World, the Immortal Alliance had lost a good number of basic-level cultivators. Now, there are whispers circulating that during the upcoming recruitment examination, the Immortal Alliance will carry out a degree of expansion.
Li Ping had already selected a batch of promising youngsters, ready to take this opportunity to send them into the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Though basic-level cultivators may seem insignificant, they can slowly corrode the internal governance of the Immortal Alliance like termites. Moreover, as time goes on, their cultivation base and achievements grow, and their positions rise, leading to gradually increasing damage and influence.
The investment is minimal, yet the effect is excellent. The more, the better.
"With the existence of the Gold Source Force Web, we can not only ensure their successful infiltration into the Immortal Alliance but also maintain tight control over them from start to finish."
"There’s no need for them to meet in reality to exchange information, or even goods."
"This mode of contact offers far better secrecy and safety than what the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization can detect."
Apart from corroding the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals from within, it is also vital to concurrently diminish their potential.
"Within the Xuanhuang World, all the prominent cultivators of the next hundred years must be completely controlled. If they cannot be used by us, they should be eliminated as soon as possible."
"We can even lead disaster eastward, framing the Five Elders Organization for assassination plans."
"I shall watch the tigers fight from the mountain..."
While employing various methods to weaken the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, Li Ping will certainly not slow down the development of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi.
Once the number of Ghost Tribe people reaches a certain scale, and enough pure gold source energy is collected, Li Ping will use it to transform the Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth.
To truly forge the Da Qi Miniature World into a fortress as impregnable as gold, hidden and detached within the Void.
"I can feel that ever since Yin Shangren, Ou Daozi, and other outstanding figures from the Xuanhuang World have come to serve in the Da Qi Miniature World, the once bottlenecked qi destiny of the Sacred Dynasty has suddenly encountered the possibility of breakthroughs again."
"This is [Scarcity and Overgrowth], I have devoured the qi destiny that originally belonged to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals."
"However, it’s still not enough for a complete satisfaction of promotion."
"Aside from devouring qi destiny from the outside world, which requires time to accumulate, the inherent rank of the Miniature World itself is also a major constraining factor. Perhaps it’s time to consider the promotion of the Miniature World."
With a thought, Li Ping returned to the Saint Emperor Seat.
Before long, Sun Erlang, enveloped in an aura of stern slaughter, appeared before him.
The once brave and martial youth had grown into a fearsome god of death within the Sacred Dynasty Daqi, one that made people tremble at the mere mention of his name.
Leading the Forbidden Army, he campaigned across realms. Over the years, countless living beings from other miniature worlds have perished by the hand of Sun Erlang.
"I pay my respects to Master!" Sun Erlang knelt on one knee.
"How is the construction of the Array of the Ten Thousand Spirits progressing?" Li Ping asked.
"Eleven have been completed. Six are still under construction." Sun Erlang said concisely, at the same time, transmitting the specific information through divine sense.
"Recently, halt the campaigns for a while. We’ve expanded too quickly, and need to properly digest our gains. In those miniature worlds, show no mercy to anyone with a thought of rebellion. I do not wish for our defenses to be compromised when we officially start the war with the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals."
The implications in Li Ping’s words sent a jolt through Sun Erlang’s spirit.
Even though he knew that his Master had great ambitions, this was the first time he had expressly heard his Master articulate the plan to campaign against the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
For Sun Erlang, who found suppressing those miniature worlds as easy as slicing through melons and carrots, and who even felt a bit bored by the lack of challenge, his heart surged with excitement in an instant.
Li Ping, of course, saw through Sun Erlang’s thoughts at a glance.
"When you see too many sheep, you start to think the whole world is full of sheep. Not to mention the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, even among the miniature worlds hidden in the Xuanhuang World, some are not ones that our current Sacred Dynasty Daqi can contend with." Li Ping said indifferently, then pointed at Sun Erlang.
"Go to this place and walk around. It was once the hidden retreat of the ancient Taiyan Sect. See if you can persuade them to join our alliance,"
"Taiyan Sect..." Sun Erlang’s gaze twinkled.
"Go ahead. The place is special, and you will understand once you get there. Don’t force anything, my purpose is simply to temper the pride in your heart."
Unlike the cultivation strategy for Ou Shangtian, when Sun Erlang’s path showed slight deviation, Li Ping chose to actively help realign it.
Apart from having a deeper bond with Sun Erlang, Li Ping also needed a strong senior brother to suppress all other disciples.
Thus, he inevitably spent more effort nurturing him.
"I hope this trip to the Taiyan Sect brings some gains for the lad,"
Li Ping thought as he sat on the Saint Emperor Seat.
As per the Emperor’s instructions, Sun Erlang arrived at the Tomb of Yi Xing.
After gathering up Yi Xing’s bones and the scattered white papers, Sun Erlang headed straight for his destination.
"Who would have thought that within the borders of Great Kai, there would actually be an ancient tomb of cultivators. It’s just that the use of these sheets of paper my teacher has specifically asked me to collect is beyond me," Sun Erlang pondered deeply along the way and failed to divine their mysterious purpose.
Putting aside his puzzlement, Sun Erlang soon arrived at his destination.
Taihua State, Taixuan Mountain.
"Master said that the entrance to the Taiyan Sect is hidden inside this mountain?"
He searched all around but couldn’t find any trace of a space tunnel.
Sun Erlang couldn’t help but feel perplexed.
It wasn’t impossible to brute force a path through the mountain, but since his purpose was to act as an envoy and persuade the other party to join the Sacred Dynasty alliance—wrecking someone else’s sect residence so recklessly...
After thinking it over, Sun Erlang still chose not to act rashly.
He picked a spot on Taixuan Mountain with good Feng Shui.
Dug a pit in the earth and took out Yi Xing’s bones.
Just as he was about to bury them into the earth...
A figure suddenly appeared behind Sun Erlang.
"As expected!" Sun Erlang thought to himself.
On the surface, however, he acted as if facing a formidable enemy: "Who’s there?!"
The figure ignored Sun Erlang, just staring blankly at Yi Xing’s bones.
It was as if they had fallen into some kind of remembrance, motionless for a long time.
Sun Erlang was not a rash warrior and naturally would not disturb this figure whose strength appeared unfathomable.

He simply waited quietly with patience.
"If you had waited a few more years, brother, perhaps everything would have been different,"
After a long time, the figure sighed and waved a sleeve towards Yi Xing.
In an instant, the bones of Yi Xing disappeared, and he turned to look at Sun Erlang.
"Young man, what brings you here?"
Sun Erlang, looking at the face that seemed not much older than his own, hesitated for a moment but then honestly explained his purpose.
