"Hmm, nine complete portions of immortal fortune is quite a lot. At least, it can provide a perfect opportunity for smuggling! Theoretically speaking, if spread out, it could accommodate ninety or even nine hundred people! However, in reality, too many people wouldn't be good!"
...
Recalling the changes Lin Yang had brought to everyone over the past year, Pang Tong felt very fortunate. He was glad he had made the right choice and thankful that he hadn't betrayed Wu when it was in its most dangerous time.
Look at those traitors. Now, without Lin Yang even having to say anything, many guys willing to curry favor with him are already going to deal with them.
Thinking about their fate, I can only say they deserved it! When they betrayed us, they colluded with the court for power, so it's no surprise they ended up like this.
"Phew, that's the end of today's work."
Thinking this, Pang Tong went to the staff canteen. After all, it was so late, and it wasn't convenient to eat out!
I casually ordered a standard set meal for a seventh-rank official. Yes, this was a canteen specifically for officials. The set meals were divided into three categories: ninth-rank, eighth-rank, and seventh-rank.
As for the six-, five-, and four-course set meals, they are not available here. Looking at the food in front of me, it's probably just five dishes and a soup, with meat, vegetables, soup, and rice—isn't that enough?
Bored, Pang Tong took out his mobile phone and started playing with it. This mobile phone, along with the computer, was arguably one of the most useful inventions in recent years!
I randomly clicked on an app that said it was the official dark web of the Wu Kingdom. It contained a lot of insider information, some from the Wu Kingdom and some from the Han Dynasty. After Lin Yang's return, they even added information about the Chosen Ones! It was basically an enhanced version of an internal report.
After entering his name and password, he was logged in. Upon opening the message, Pang Tong discovered a message that had been pinned to the top!
Shocking!!! Time travel...
The title was quite shocking, and out of curiosity, Pang Tong clicked on it casually. After reading it, he forgot all about eating! After all, the content was truly astonishing!
The gist is that Lin Yang, the Duke of Wu, discovered a new world, but this new world has strict laws and a more mature Heavenly Way.
Therefore, directly crossing over would be very difficult and would easily be discovered. But now, thanks to the efforts of Duke Lin Yang of Wu, we can provide about sixty slots for everyone to cross over.
"Those who wish to register can go to the Wu Kingdom's Prime Minister Guo Jia's office in the government affairs hall to register. Specific requirements will be explained there."
Special note: This journey is fraught with danger. One wrong step and you may fail, or even perish. Once you have traveled through time, you must obey all instructions!
Upon reading the instructions, Pang Tong couldn't help but get excited!
For cultivators, what is most important? In the past, Pang Tong thought it was talent, but more than thirty years later, Pang Tong knows that the most important thing is opportunity!
My own abilities are in no way inferior to those of top heroes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Even the two mistresses and Lin Yang, the Duke of Wu, may not be much better than me!
This is Pang Tong's confidence. Call it a mysterious confidence or arrogance, but at least, Pang Tong genuinely believed it!
But what about cultivation level?
At this point, both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had already reached the early stage of the sixth rank. No, after Lin Yang's return and the reopening of the Reincarnation Land, they were now both at the mid-stage of the sixth rank!
As for the two mistresses, after receiving much instruction from Lin Yang, Su Qing'er has already begun to summarize her own path, recall her struggles, and start to think about the path to becoming a Dao Lord!
Even Cai Yan has already broken through to the seventh level and is consolidating her cultivation.
As for Lin Yang, the Duke of Wu, he is the only one in the Han Dynasty at this time who has broken through to the Dao Lord level!
But what about Pang Tong himself? He was merely at the early stage of the fourth rank! This was only because his family and the Wu Kingdom had continuously provided resources for him over the past thirty years!
However, once one reaches the fourth-tier Human Immortal, the assistance that a family can provide is extremely limited! And what about the Wu Kingdom? The Wu Kingdom is the same; the resources it provides are also extremely limited!
At this point, Pang Tong finally understood why so many powerful figures throughout history had envied the Chosen Ones!
The chosen ones, as long as they don't die, will always rise to the top!
"I, Pang Tong, am confident that I am no less capable than anyone else, and I am utterly loyal to the Kingdom of Wu. I believe I should definitely be among the sixty chosen!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Pang Tong lost his appetite and went straight outside to board the train bound for Jinling, the capital of Wu.
Meanwhile, in another study, three people were also quite excited upon seeing this message: Li Jing, Shi Zhixuan, and Song Que from the world of Tang Dynasty.
"An opportunity, this is an opportunity! To travel through worlds, to travel to a completely new world, this is an opportunity beyond measure!" Li Jing said excitedly as he looked at the message on his phone.
At this time, he appeared to be a middle-aged man. He had repeatedly distinguished himself in the war between Wu and Xian Qin, earning the appreciation of Taishi Ci.
Therefore, his strength at this moment is not weak at all, reaching the late stage of the fourth tier! Compared to his time in the Tang Dynasty, he is completely incomparable!
"That's right, this time we, the people of the Great Tang Dynasty, must prove ourselves!" Shi Zhixuan said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Song Que nodded. Whether for himself, for his family, or for the future of the Tang Dynasty faction, he absolutely had to participate in this exploration!
At the same time, many heroes, including Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Gu Yong, Yu Fan, Zhou Yu, and Xu Chu, also took action.

Chapter Eight: The Great Sage Who Reached Heaven, the Phoenix Chick Pang Tong
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Giddy up..."
"Get out of the way!"
Accompanied by the sound of galloping hooves, a troop of cavalry returned from outside the city. Although there were only a few dozen riders, a tremendous and imposing aura could still be felt as they approached.
The guard felt a jolt run through him, his grip on his weapon faltering. His thighs went numb. Naturally, he lost his temper and instinctively asked a question.
"Who are you? What brings you to make such a commotion beneath the city gates?"
Upon hearing this, one of the knights immediately widened his eyes and glared at him fiercely. That seemingly ordinary glance, however, felt to the soldier as if a ferocious beast or worm had been watching him!
He was startled and stumbled back several steps. If he hadn't been holding a long spear to support himself, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
"Stop talking! Are you out of your mind? This is Master Xu's cavalry! As for these strong men, they are Master Xu's personal guards. They are all skilled riders, tall and strong, and powerful. Even the county magistrate has no objections, so how dare we interfere?"
