In Lin Yang's view, this was simply unbelievable! There was definitely a mastermind behind Liu Bang. It was certainly someone who had influenced Xiang Yu, perhaps even causing him to become mentally unstable if he encountered Liu Bang!
Then, seeing the pained expressions on Cai Yan and Su Qing'er's faces, Lin Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, look at the magnificent landscape of this world, we'll be getting our hands on it soon, won't we? At that time, the very essence of this world will be enough for the two of you to break through."
"What about the third way?" Su Qing'er suddenly asked.
"The third method is even simpler, but it is also the easiest and most difficult. That is to live directly in a Heavenly-level world, make some contributions, and receive blessings from the Heavenly Dao, and you will naturally be able to break through."
"For example, the position of honor, or the rank. Well, like the Three Pure Ones' honor in the Immortal Dao Great World, which is a Great Luo level honor. As long as you obtain this honor, you can successfully break through to the Great Luo level. Similarly, there are many Dao Lord level honors. As long as you live, you can immediately break through to the Heavenly Immortal level and become a Dao Lord."
"In short, as long as you live in a Heavenly-level world, your chances of breaking through to the Dao Lord level will immediately increase by several orders of magnitude! Therefore, this path is both the simplest and the most difficult!"
"By the way, it was during my reincarnation that I entered a Heavenly-level world, and then helped the world itself create the Heavenly Dao, gaining the favor of the world's origin, which allowed me to break through. Therefore, my breakthrough was incredibly easy. I just kept cultivating and broke through directly."

Chapter 52: Three Thousand Town Guardians
Remember this website [ . ] for free access to exciting novels!
There is no distinction between high and low roads, but there are differences in difficulty.
Among them, the most difficult is undoubtedly the first path. To spread the Dao in hundreds or thousands of worlds, one must first obtain the permission of the Heavenly Dao of that world, and then obtain the permission of the many powerful figures in that world. Otherwise, how easy is it to spread the Dao?
During this period, after traversing countless worlds and overcoming numerous setbacks, there was only a sliver of possibility of success. It was fraught with danger, and the chances of success were truly slim!
As for the second path, it seems quite simple: just find a world at the peak of the Earth level, defeat the protagonist of destiny within it, and then unify the world!
Is it simple? It looks simple, but it's actually no less difficult than the first path!
How difficult is it to unify the world? Throughout the entire history of China, only Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty, and later Emperor Taizu.
Throughout China's five thousand years of history, there have only been nine such figures! The rest, like Sima Zhao, relied on the strength of Cao Wei and the power left by his father to unify the country, so their achievements are far more exaggerated!
Keep in mind, this is merely the unification of China. It's just the unification of a single, magic-free plane!
What about the world of immortals and heroes? There are beings with extraordinary powers, and there are chosen ones. Imagine an outsider killing the original chosen one and then unifying the world. Just thinking about the difficulty is exhilarating!
Therefore, the second path isn't very feasible either! Of course, by this time, Lin Yang has almost completely ruined the world of the Legend of the White Snake. Providing enough source energy for Su Qing'er and Cai Yan to break through shouldn't be a problem.
As for the third path, it is actually the simplest and most common method: Find a celestial-level world, and through various efforts, attain a special position of honor within that world.
For example, there are the positions of the Ziwei Emperor, the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, the Dao Ancestor, and the God of War.
Just like Lin Yang, who attained the Dao Ancestor position in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and also possessed the extremely special position of Heavenly Dao's Father!
It was precisely because of these two prestigious positions that the origin of the world of Shrouding the Heavens was opened to Lin Yang without reservation. Therefore, he was able to cultivate to the so-called Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Emperor realm with his eyes closed.
Therefore, if things go wrong in the Legend of the White Snake world, I'll have no choice but to swallow my pride and go to the Shrouding the Heavens world to help them plan things out. However, that would put me in real danger; what if I get killed by that ruthless man's cleaver?
"Ahem, don't worry. Look at this world, it's quite nice. Besides, Xu Xian is about to make a big move, and your opportunity will come then. So, there's nothing to worry about. But before that, let's get to know this world better together," Lin Yang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the two women nodded. Lin Yang's words had a significant impact on them.
In the past, I just thought that as long as I had enough talent, I would definitely be able to break through. But now I realize that this is not the case at all!
If Lin Yang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely tell them directly.
Actually, we're already considered lucky! Look at the Three Pure Ones of the prehistoric world; they can become saints without doing anything. That's the epitome of noble birth!
...
Then, led by Lin Yang, the two women began to tour the scenery of the whole country, including Xu Xian's territory, other people's territories, and the caves of many immortals and gods.
During that time, I encountered war, the persecution of Buddhism, temples being demolished, and Buddhist scriptures being burned. Oh, and I also saw quite a few monks being beheaded.
However, the three merely stood by and watched, none of them showing any intention of making a move. There was nothing they could do; they were all bald, while Lin Yang and his two companions were all aspiring to the Dao.
Putting everything else aside, what would happen to Su Qing'er and Cai Yan if Lin Yang really went bald? Would they become bodhisattvas together? Then there would probably be rumors of Buddha and bodhisattvas...
"Yes, Xu Xian's rule is truly excellent. The people own their land, and within the cities, there's not even anyone who dares to cause trouble. In any case, the public order is so much better! It's not much worse than my husband's Wu Kingdom." Looking at the bustling streets, Su Qing'er said with a smile.
Although she possessed high cultivation, she wasn't someone who couldn't eat meat porridge; she had a good understanding of mortal life. At the very least, she wouldn't do something like the Qing Emperor spending tens of taels of silver on a single egg!
The streets in front of us are truly peaceful and harmonious, and the people feel at ease. In this respect, it has actually caught up with the Wu Kingdom under Lin Yang's rule.
In fact, Su Qing'er felt that this place was already better than Wu Kingdom, but as Lin Yang's wife, she couldn't say it directly!
"Hehe, the reason this place is so good is not because the people here are of high quality or virtue, but because of the city's central guardian spirit." As he spoke, he pointed to the city center.
The official term is "City Guardian." Since its establishment, the city has been dedicated to cracking down on lawbreakers. Anyone who dares to take action will be discovered by the City Guardian immediately and punished.
It is said that these guardian deities, numbering three thousand, are one of the foundations of the Han Kingdom. Each one possesses strength comparable to a fourth-tier immortal. With the three thousand guardian deities working together, they are invincible.
Prime Minister Pang Tong once heard King Xu Xian of Han say, "Give me three thousand city guards, and I can sweep across the world." Perhaps this is the origin of these city-guarding guardians!
However, whether it was spontaneous action by the people or suppression by force, under Xu Xian's rule, the people, especially ordinary people, lived quite well. Their lives were infinitely better than before!
This is why the will of humanity has always favored Xu Xian. It is precisely because of the protection of the will of humanity that Xu Xian would have been killed by Buddha and the Heavenly Court long ago!
Do you really think that the idea that the Human Emperor couldn't cultivate immortality was just a joke?
In the days that followed, Lin Yang accompanied the two women to carefully observe the human world, study the Equal Land Distribution Law, and investigate the specific effects of its implementation.
He observed the daily life of the town's guardian deity here—their food, their lodging—and also learned from Lin Yang how to manipulate the system's backdoor. Occasionally, he would even post tasks on the platform…
Time passed by unnoticed.
