"Immortals and the various schools of thought can only serve as external aid; they are not reliable on the real battlefield! I wonder what your own thoughts are, Master?" Lin Yang suddenly asked.
"Alas, we can only meet force with force and water with water. If a full-scale invasion really occurs, I can only do my best and sacrifice myself for my country. At that time, this world will be the Zhang family's last resort," Zhang Lu said with some sorrow.
How many of those who can cultivate to become immortals are fools? Therefore, he understood what Lin Yang was saying in a flash.
Just like himself, isn't he a typical immortal? What can he do? Besides cultivating immortality, what else can he do? Can he fight wars? Can he govern a country? No, he can't do any of those!
"Master, do not worry. In my opinion, there are at least two ways to truly make the Han Dynasty no longer afraid of the Immortal Qin."
"oh?"
"The first solution is for someone among us chosen ones, or within the Great Han, to truly break through to the seventh rank and become a Taiyi Daojun. In this way, they can truly unleash the power of the seventh rank within the world, and that would change the situation."
It's like Changmei. If Changmei hadn't ascended to the Shu Mountain World back then, but instead had broken through to the fifth rank directly in the mortal realm, Lin Yang and the others probably wouldn't have been able to do anything.
"Daoist Taiyi, even Emperor Guangwu ten thousand years ago was only at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm before his death. Only our ancestor twenty thousand years ago, along with the Three Heroes, successfully broke through by harnessing the destiny of the entire world. It's truly difficult. However, upon careful consideration, this method is quite effective. So, what's next?"
"The next solution is for the Great Han to directly upgrade to a Heavenly World. At that point, it will have value, and naturally, immortals will come to its aid."
"After all, annexing a peak Earth-level world wouldn't significantly change the strength of the Immortal Qin. But if they annex a Heaven-level world, the Immortal Qin's strength would increase by at least ten percent! At that time, could the immortals and the various schools of thought really sit idly by? Once the giants make their move..."

Chapter Six: Merit is a good thing, it's just a pity that there's too little of it.
Rumble
With a tremendous roar, the entire Tang Dynasty world was undergoing tremendous changes. Suddenly, streaks of golden light appeared in the sky.
These golden lights were very soft, and as soon as they appeared, they filled the entire world. Under the illumination of these golden lights, something miraculous happened.
The sky seemed higher, and the earth seemed thicker. Even the primordial energy between heaven and earth seemed more concentrated and more spiritual.
At the same time, golden light shone on his body, and his body was unconsciously undergoing transformation, making him stronger and stronger, and deepening his foundation.
Countless martial arts practitioners broke through in that instant; previously insurmountable bottlenecks simply vanished.
Even many elderly and frail people, under the illumination of this golden light, saw their white hair disappear and the wrinkles on their brows vanish.
"Is this what world upgrade is? Rejuvenation, increased lifespan, greatly enhanced potential, the sky has become higher, and the earth has become thicker. It's truly amazing!" Song Que said happily.
Under the golden light, Song Que felt that his extremely subtle internal injuries had been completely healed.
You should know that when I was practicing martial arts, especially during many life-or-death battles, I coughed up a lot of blood.
When he broke through to the Grandmaster level, when he fought against the domineering Yue Shan, and when he fought against Ning Daoqi, he lost a lot of his essence each time.
Although he still looks like a healthy middle-aged man, and although when he broke through to the Supreme Grandmaster level, he returned to his original state, refined the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and increased his essence again.
But Song Que knew this wouldn't last long. Without taking action, he could only live another fifty or sixty years at most. But now, Song Que felt that he could easily fight for another hundred or two hundred years!
With his eyes closed and mind focused, recalling the secret technique that Lin Yang had taught him long ago, Song Que absorbed the light in the sky with abandon.
As the techniques, skills, and artistic conceptions of knife work emerge, one's will, spirit, and state of mind are constantly undergoing transformation.
Gripping the Narcissus Blade tightly, Song Que felt his entire body brimming with power. He could break through to the legendary Void Shattering Realm at any moment.
However, remembering Lin Yang's words, he stopped his breakthrough.
"Remember, don't break through then! Wait until you've reached the main world before attempting a breakthrough. After all, the benefits of breaking through in different worlds are different. Therefore, if you want to become stronger and have a more solid foundation, it's not too late to break through after you've arrived in the main world!"
At the same time, as the earth trembled, mountains rose up from the ground, and the existing peaks became even taller.
However, what's amazing is that during this entire process, not a single person in the vast Tang Dynasty world died! Whether human or animal, everyone survived perfectly, which is truly miraculous.
"Great, congratulations, Master! The world has been upgraded. This time, the upper limit has become the fourth tier, and the actual potential has also increased further," Lin Yang said with a smile.
As he spoke, the seal that Heaven had placed on him—those golden chains—disappeared instantly.
"Hehe, this is just the first step. We still need to continue developing and work hard!" Zhang Lu said, sounding very happy, almost dancing with joy.
In a complete Xuan-level world, the world's ruler can possess fifth-tier power. For a specific example, one can refer to Lin Yang in the Shushan world.
In other words, as long as one possesses a complete Xuan-level world, one can continuously produce fifth-tier Earth Immortal powerhouses!
You must know, this is a terrestrial immortal. In the Han Dynasty, a first-class family at the state level might only have one or two terrestrial immortals!
Even now, thanks to the knowledge carried by the Chosen Ones, the experts have entered a period of explosive growth, and fifth-tier Earth Immortals are still extraordinary beings!
"Well then, I'll give you a gift." As he spoke, three small stones appeared in Lin Yang's right hand.
The largest stone was golden in color, with a flame around its outer edge. Even without touching it, just by looking at it, Zhang Lu could sense the enormous energy contained within it.
A smaller stone nearby was silvery-white. It was surrounded by a thin veil of light, which seemed to flow and change like liquid.
Moreover, and more importantly, this stone constantly emits various laws and is filled with countless Daoist charms, making it an extraordinary treasure.
The remaining stone was purple, surrounded by what appeared to be nebula, which was quite magical.
"Of these three stones, one is a small part of the core of the Sun Star, one is a small part of the core of the Moon Star, and the third one is from the Ziwei Emperor Star."
"Although these three stars are not numerous, they contain all the complete Daoist principles and laws! I believe that with the Zhang family's resources, they will soon be able to cultivate the true Sun Star, Moon Star, and Ziwei Star."
With that, Lin Yang casually tossed three stars away, sending them flying towards the heavens. He flew to the location where the three stars had been.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Lu discovered that the three stars, which had previously appeared quite illusory and unformed, had become much more substantial in that instant.
"Great! The Sun Star has transformed from an energy form into a material form, saving us tens of thousands of years of hard work. This is truly a great gift. The Moon Star and the Purple Star Emperor Star are also nearing completion. Thank you so much! If you ever need my help in the future, Feipeng, just let me know!" Zhang Lu said excitedly.
