Even the most difficult cultivation techniques were as easy as eating and drinking for her. In this life, not only was she free from the burdens of the original owner, but Lin Yang also provided Su Qing'er with a great deal of assistance.
For example, the various resources needed during the early stages of cultivation, including spirit stones, spirit materials, spirit treasures, and even many rare and unusual materials. From the beginning until now, all these resources have cost Lin Yang at least one hundred million taels of silver!
Spending 100 million taels of silver to woo a girl is far more extravagant than when Guo Jing was pursuing Huang Rong. Furthermore, since the two were childhood sweethearts, Su Qing'er is now completely infatuated with Lin Yang.
More importantly, she was born with the Phoenix Destiny, a first-rate destiny to bring good fortune to her husband. Now, Lin Yang's fortuitous encounters have increased, and he has even become the Chosen One, breaking through to the sixth level of his destiny. It's hard to say how much of this was helped by Su Qing'er's Phoenix Destiny!
With her excellent aptitude, lack of personal burdens, early start in cultivation, and abundant resources, Su Qing'er in this life is truly incredibly strong!
In terms of cultivation, she is at the late stage of Human Immortal. In the Shu Mountain, that would be the early or even mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal. Even the Three Immortals and Two Elders would not be her match in a one-on-one fight.
It's estimated that only someone like Li Jingxu, the Blissful Child, who could have ascended long ago but has been lingering in the mortal realm, would have a chance to surpass her.
However, that's not necessarily true. After all, victory in a magical duel isn't solely a matter of individual cultivation. It also requires consideration of many factors such as magical treasures, terrain, weather, mood, and formations. The outcome remains uncertain!
"These sword immortals do indeed have a significant advantage in combat. They hone their longswords daily, using the swords that cultivate both body and soul to refine their primordial spirit. In the end, the sharper the flying sword, the purer the primordial spirit. In battle, when a flying sword is unleashed, it is unstoppable and impervious to all magic," Su Qing'er said calmly.
However, although the voice wasn't loud, there were no ordinary people present. Therefore, upon hearing the expert's lecture, they all pricked up their ears and listened attentively. After all, among the many chosen ones present, Su Qing'er was among the top three in terms of cultivation.
"Moreover, from what I observe, the immortals of this world are very particular about cause and effect. When they harvest spiritual herbs, they also emphasize sustainable development, only harvesting the mature parts each time, and never touching the seedlings that are still growing."
"In this respect, both righteous immortals and demons are the same. Immortals, in particular, pay great attention to accumulating external skills and merits, and at the same time, they are very afraid of karma! If this is used well, it can achieve unexpected results," Su Qing'er said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but nod. In the world of Shu Mountain, the immortals are all very detached from worldly desires, with only one goal in mind: to become an immortal. And the requirements for achieving immortality are extremely strict regarding karma, at least that's how it's stipulated in this world.
This is why, although the immortals often descended to the mortal realm to do good deeds, they remained indifferent to the barbarian invasion of the Central Plains.
Doing even the smallest good deeds can accumulate a little merit, and over time, one can ascend to immortality. At least, that's how it works in this world. There are even examples of people accumulating 100,000 units of merit and instantly becoming immortals.
However, once the wild boar skin is truly killed with a single sword strike, the immense karmic consequences will be enough to pollute the Taoists' primordial spirits with endless karma, and the ultimate result will most likely be eternal damnation in the mortal world, with no hope of ever attaining enlightenment again.
Therefore, it must be said that Liu Hao's choice of meeting place at this time was very skillful. In the capital, where cause and effect are intertwined, even if the sword immortals find out, what can they do? Would they dare to rush directly into the capital and slaughter everyone?
"Furthermore, this method of cultivating sword immortals is very suitable for true geniuses. As long as they have enough talent, they can make rapid progress in cultivating the path of sword immortals within ten years and become a loose immortal, earth immortal, or heaven immortal. There is even a glimmer of hope that they can ascend to heaven."
"However, it's not without its drawbacks. If we use it well, even if we don't wipe them all out, we can at least teach them a lesson and make them afraid to cause us trouble," Su Qing'er said calmly.
When she spoke, she truly had the air of someone who could command the world and write with passion, which made Lin Yang nod repeatedly. The girl who used to cry easily had really grown up, matured, and could eat a lot now!

Chapter Sixty-Three: Calamity Descends, Man Resists Heaven
Inside a pavilion sat Lin Yang, Su Qing'er, and two others. Lin Yang's brows were furrowed, and the atmosphere in the pavilion was somewhat somber. After all, Lin Yang's intuition was notoriously reliable.
In the past, whenever Lin Yang spoke of an impending calamity, it invariably followed soon after. Therefore, although they didn't know what kind of calamity it was, anything that could unsettle Lin Yang was certainly no small matter. Consequently, Shi A and Cai Yan were also somewhat nervous.
Although everyone's plan was good, Lin Yang still felt something was off. Under his divine eye of fortune, he could see a considerable amount of tribulation energy above their heads. The stronger they were, the less tribulation energy they had; the weaker they were, the more tribulation energy they had!
Moreover, Lin Yang also made a special observation and found that more than a hundred chosen ones were all under the shadow of the calamity, which didn't make sense!
"Qing'er, do the math again and see if anyone is plotting against us. Ever since we entered this world, I've had a feeling of unease," Lin Yang said, frowning.
Upon hearing this, even though she had already calculated it several times, Su Qing'er still began to calculate the secrets of heaven without hesitation.
“Brother Peng, this is a sixth-grade high-quality spiritual treasure, a Bagua Plate. However, due to the limitations of this world, it can only exert the effect of a mid-fifth-grade treasure at most here. Nevertheless, it can still be considered the number one secret magic treasure in this world.”
"However, I did discover some problems in my previous divinations. At first, I cast a divination casually and the result was auspicious, indicating that the journey would be smooth and without any setbacks."
"Later, when I used Qimen Dunjia to calculate the secrets of heaven, the hexagrams showed that there were occasional setbacks, but in the end I was still able to achieve my goal."
"Later, when I used the spiritual treasure and the Taiyi Divine Calculation, the divination results became a complete mess, the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and I couldn't calculate anything."
"This means that we are very likely in real danger. But this doesn't make sense! Our plan seems to be perfect, doesn't it?" Su Qing'er said, fiddling with the things in her hands.
"The Heavenly Secrets Network of this world is very powerful, but it only targets immortals and cannot target mortals."
"Therefore, we will take the capital as the center, first control the emperor, then slowly control the officials, forge identities, and finally pacify the world and unify the universe. The possibility is quite high. After all, how many of those immortals would be willing to give up their hope of becoming immortals and enter the mortal world to struggle and fight, even if they knew about our scheme?"
"Afterwards, once the human world is unified, we can slowly send people to explore and live in every famous mountain and river. Finally, we will taint every place in the Central Plains with endless worldly karma. At that time, these immortals will naturally have no choice but to retreat."
"After that, we will appoint gods on behalf of Heaven, bestow titles upon mountain gods, water gods, land gods, city gods, and other deities. Once we have gods everywhere, we can further expand our base until we completely force the immortals out of this world."
"Although this method is crude in many ways, it is theoretically feasible. As long as we make good use of the fact that immortals fear karma and dare not delve into the mortal world, anything is possible!" Cai Yan said calmly.
Indeed, is this plan possible? In Lin Yang's view, it is quite possible. After all, the immortals of the Shu Mountain world have such unique characteristics.
So, according to the plan, the first step was to control the current emperor, the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, whose reign title was Tianqi, and it was now the fifth year of Tianqi.
The court was dominated by eunuchs, and sycophants were everywhere—this was, of course, the Donglin Party's view. Although the Donglin Party itself wasn't much better than the eunuch faction, its reputation was still quite prominent at the time.
However, none of that matters. What matters is controlling the carpenter emperor. Is that difficult? Not at all. Throughout history, there have been countless schemes and underhanded tactics used against emperors.
If all else fails, there's always Liu Hao, isn't there? As the eldest princess of the royal family, Lin Yang refused to believe that Liu Hao didn't have a way to suppress the imperial dragon aura.
After gaining control of Zhu Youxiao, they gradually forged identities, becoming officials and eventually high-ranking officials. Another group of chosen ones directly controlled high-ranking court officials. At that point, the entire central government would be under their control. Logically speaking, this process makes perfect sense!
Once the central government was under control, the rest seemed to fall into place. They gradually consolidated control over local areas, implemented reforms, overthrew the Qing dynasty, and nipped peasant uprisings in the bud.
Step by step, a peaceful and prosperous world can be created. Then, over the next few hundred years, we can fight against the gods step by step, taking advantage of human destiny and immeasurable karma. To be honest, this plan can really succeed.
"I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that a great disaster is about to befall us. It's not just me; all of us chosen ones are filled with the aura of impending doom and are about to face a crisis," Lin Yang said with a headache.
Could it be that the immortals of the Emei Sect no longer want to become immortals and plan to directly storm the capital and confront Lin Yang and his group head-on?
At that point, you could easily and accidentally kill hundreds or even thousands of civilians. And you still want to become an immortal? Forget about the next life, even the life after that, you might not have the chance to become an immortal!
