"So, even a Supreme Grandmaster is only at the third rank, or quasi-fourth rank. Only those who can shatter the void are considered fourth-rank experts? And in the main world, the strongest are at the sixth rank? Are all the people in the Immortal Realm that strong?" Kou Zhong scratched his head and said.
"The Immortal Realm is very strong, but are you weak? In a world where the Heavenly Dao is weak, the world is weak, the laws are incomplete, and spiritual energy is scarce, how many people can reach your current level?"
"So don't worry, be confident! With your talent, fourth rank is definitely not the end. As long as you work hard, I will give you some resources, and fifth rank is very possible!"
"In fact, if you yourselves have some good fortune and luck, reaching the sixth rank in the future is not impossible!" Lin Yang said calmly.
Anyway, fooling people doesn't cost money. If you're going to make empty promises, you have to make them a big promise so they can have some hope!
"As for my own identity, I am the Duke of Wu, with a vast fiefdom, at least no smaller than this world! However, it is still under development. After you arrive, you can join various departments and contribute to the expansion of Wu. Of course, you will receive various benefits, including fiefdoms and titles. In addition..."
"Alright, that's basically it. You can spread the word so the rest of you can be mentally prepared. Also, in half a month, the world will be upgraded. After the world upgrades, we will directly enter the Upper Realm, so we need to prepare in advance."
Looking up at the sky, he realized that an hour had already passed without him noticing. This was because it was the first time they were immigrating. In the future, when the Wu Kingdom becomes powerful, Lin Yang won't need to do these things personally.
"After we ascend, will we be able to come back?" Wanwan suddenly asked.
“It’s possible, but time changes everything. The flow of time here is different from that in the upper realm. Maybe by the time you come back, everything will have changed.” As he spoke, Lin Yang took a sip of tea and savored it.
Seeing the group deep in thought, Lin Yang smiled and said, "Alright, Shi Long, stay here. You guys spread the word first, and then think it over carefully."
Upon hearing this, Shuanglong and Wanwan left immediately, leaving Shilong standing there, looking at Lin Yang with some nervousness.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to stay so I can help you with a small favor. It's nothing bad."
"Young Master, please give your orders. I, Shi Long, will do my utmost whenever and wherever you need me!"
"Find me a few book printers. Explain to them beforehand that once they join, they will surely die, and even their souls will be reincarnated in another world! So, you need to prepare payment in advance. Remember, it must be voluntary!" Lin Yang said very seriously.
Everyone has their own expertise, so if you want to print "The Story of Da Er's Aspirations", you should naturally find a professional.
More importantly, if Lin Yang prints it himself, even if the secret is concealed beforehand, someone might still be able to figure it out!
After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!
Therefore, Lin Yang had already planned how to deal with these printing artisans. His plan was to physically eliminate them, then capture their souls, find a small world, and let them reincarnate.
At the same time, by using the "Kalpa Sutra," their original fortune and destiny can be directly changed, so that they can have a good family and a bright future after their reincarnation, which can be considered as doing justice to them!
With the barrier of two consecutive worlds, Lin Yang refused to believe that the people of the main world could still calculate it! After all, divination techniques are not omnipotent!

Chapter 5: They're just a bunch of lazy bums who only know how to shout "666"!
In a certain manor in the Tang Dynasty, something strange happened. Since a group of craftsmen entered several days ago, no one had come out. There were also frequent sounds of machinery, which were rather odd.
Meanwhile, Lin Yang looked at the finished product that had been printed and smelled the faint scent of ink. It was as if he had returned to his junior and senior high school days, to those stacks of newly printed test papers.
At that time, many of the quizzes, or in-class tests, were printed very fresh. Sometimes, the test papers were still warm when you received them!
After casually flipping through a few dozen books, Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, the paper quality is acceptable, and the printing is very clear. I'm very satisfied. Don't worry, you won't have died in vain."
Then, with a wave of his hand, dozens of printing craftsmen lay motionless on the ground. Next, dozens of beams of light flew out from above their heads and were collected into the magic weapon in Lin Yang's hand.

Step by step, Lin Yang walked out of the room, glanced back, and threw in a tinderbox. With a loud bang, the room burst into flames. The raging fire quickly burned away all the corpses, tools, and papers inside.
Standing at a distance, quietly watching everything until it all turned to ashes, Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction.
"Sigh, these days you have to be careful when doing good deeds, you can't let anyone find out, otherwise, you're as good as dead! (If you didn't hit her, why did you help her up?)"
As Lin Yang took his first step, he began to ponder how to deal with Xian Qin. After all, there are always more solutions than problems; as long as you think about it, you can always find a way to solve the problem.
"Master, what do you think we should do about the Immortal Qin?"
Inside the palace, Lin Yang and Zhang Lu sat facing each other, sipping tea and speaking casually.
However, upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Zhang Lu instantly felt uneasy. The words "Immortal Qin" struck Zhang Lu's heart like a heavy hammer.
You can look down on Xianqin, you can say Xianqin is brutal, you can smear it as much as you want, but you have to admit that Xianqin has immense power!
After all, the Immortal Qin had been developing for tens of thousands of years, while the Great Han had only existed for twenty thousand years! Compared to each other, it was like an infant versus an adult; how could they possibly fight?
If the Han Dynasty had been given another one or two hundred thousand years to slowly cultivate the land and develop, even if it couldn't win, it would still be able to defend itself. But now, the time is simply too short!
"To be fair, the strength of the Immortal Qin is indeed formidable. However, our Han Dynasty is no weakling either. If they dare to attack directly, we'll definitely knock out several of their teeth!" Zhang Lu asserted.
For various reasons, there are far too many forces in this world that are unwilling to see the Qin Dynasty grow stronger step by step.
Why not have each family contribute a little, using the Han Dynasty as a tool to slow down the Qin Dynasty? Moreover, all that's needed is some resources and magical artifacts; there's no need to waste lives. It's an extremely worthwhile deal.
For example, Zhang Lu's ancestor, Zhang Daoling, ascended to the Immortal Dao World and became a disciple of the Supreme Dao Ancestor! At that time, would the Daoist sect just stand by and watch the Immortal Qin annex the Han Dynasty without offering any obstacles? Don't be ridiculous!
Then there's the Xun family of Yingchuan, who are the most authentic descendants of Xunzi. Even though they've been passed down for countless generations, they are still descendants of Xunzi, aren't they?
The various schools of thought in ancient China were severely humiliated by the Qin Dynasty, with several nearly being wiped out. Such a deep-seated hatred and resentment, and it was all just settled like that? How could that be!
Especially those petty-minded Confucian scholars, who were wiped out by the First Emperor. That's right, almost all the Confucian scholars of that generation were killed. With such a deep grudge, did they really think Confucius and Xunzi were made of clay?
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but shake his head. To be honest, Zhang Lu's idea wasn't wrong, but it wasn't right either.
Well, the immortals and the various schools of thought did indeed have grudges against the Qin Dynasty, but the problem is, they wouldn't confront them head-on.
To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of lazy bums who only know how to shout "666"!
You can ask them to create a buzz, do some propaganda, or even stage an assassination. But the problem is, asking them to compete with the Immortal Qin in military combat, strategy, and battle formations? Isn't that just idiotic?
If the immortals were truly so powerful, why didn't they take matters into their own hands during the reigns of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou? Didn't they still need to rely on the power of Shang Tang and Zhou Wu?
