"In other words, as long as one acquires a single state, once the world upgrades, the essence contained within it will be enough to allow a peak Celestial Immortal to prove the Dao Lord and achieve an immortal and indestructible position."
"Over the years, countless exceptionally talented individuals have been trapped at the threshold of the Celestial Immortal peak. A single step away has become an insurmountable chasm—a truly great pity. Now, with just one innate spiritual treasure, one can obtain enough essence to break through to the Dao Lord realm and achieve immortality..."
"Six days from now, an auction will be held on the outskirts of the city. This event will not be documented in writing, nor will it be publicized in advance. Everyone will wear a mask upon entry. The final result will directly determine whether you can become a Dao Lord!"
"Therefore, for the sake of the Dao Lord's position, quickly contact your ancestors and sects. Use all your resources and strengths now. By the way, members of the imperial clan can also participate in this auction; you can take this opportunity to bid for some land outside the Central Plains..."
"Remember, everything will happen in six days..."
Looking at the text message in his hand that resembled a flyer advertisement, Lin Yang's face immediately turned red and then pale, as if he were furious. He then began to roar.
"Where did this madman come from, daring to slander me, the king?"
"Hehehe, this level of slander is quite good."
"Yes, yes, this text message was sent from the official website of Wu Kingdom. They really have enough shamelessness."
"Hehehe, haven't you heard? This is slander, don't you understand slander?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia seemed quite anxious and began investigating. He soon had an answer.
"Your Majesty, this text message was sent unintentionally by a temporary worker. This is the message from that temporary worker; please punish him, Your Majesty."
"Ah, oh, he's a temporary worker. How could he be so careless? It's all the temporary worker's fault. Let's just fire him then..." Regardless of whether the people below believed him or not, Lin Yang believed him.

Temporary workers, yes, all of this was done by temporary workers. Therefore, don't take the contents of the text message seriously.
Heh, anyway, regardless of everyone's reaction, Lin Yang stuck to this stance and said this. He also denied all claims regarding the fabricated text messages.
"Yes, yes, these are all rumors, they're unbelievable, we absolutely can't believe them! Anyone who believes them is a complete fool!"
And so, amidst harmony and laughter, the political conference initiated by Lin Yang came to an end.
Everything was harmonious. The members of the royal family were busy making arrangements in private, cultivating personal relationships, and trying to gain as many opportunities as possible to attack the Central Plains.
The powerful families and feudal lords were also very satisfied, busy searching for their ancestors and masters, busy looking for spiritual treasures across different realms, and also secretly making connections.
Take Cao Cao, for example. He was chatting and laughing all the way, and he didn't believe a single penny of the text messages sent by temporary workers.
Before leaving, he patted his chest and said, "This is a joke. Who would believe it?"
But as soon as he got home, his attitude changed immediately. He went straight to his father—Cao Song. This time, it was his own father! His real father!
The two are related by blood, an inseparable father-son relationship. Unlike in history, Cao Song in this life first entered the palace as a eunuch, and later grew up after leaving the palace. Anyway, in the world of fantasy, anything is possible!
"Old man, do we still have any contact with our Cao family and our ancestral home in the Upper Realm? That could be a huge opportunity! If we do, we'll try to prepare a Primordial Spiritual Treasure and then offer a fixed price."
Before he even entered the house, Cao Cao's voice rang out. Upon hearing this, Cao Song, who was drinking tea, immediately spat it out.
puff
"A primordial spiritual treasure! Do you even know what that is? Huh? Even if you sold your father, I couldn't produce it!" Cao Song exclaimed excitedly. He was indeed very excited; his beard was twitching with anger.
"That's why I said, why don't you go find your ancestral home in the upper realm? You can agree to any conditions first! This is a Dao Lord, after all. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come!" Cao Cao said nonchalantly.
"The strongest among our ancestors in the Upper Realm is only a late-stage Dao Lord. They might not even have any innate spiritual treasures! Even if they do, how much will we have to pay? How will we repay them then?" Cao Song paced back and forth worriedly, without turning his head.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao let out a sinister laugh.
"Hehe, I will become a Dao Lord as soon as the world upgrades. Whether I return it or not then will depend on my mood. I believe the main family won't mind if my Cao family has another Dao Lord, right?"
Soon after, Cao Cao followed Cao Song to a secluded place and began using a unique method to contact his kin in the upper realm. Whether it would succeed depended on Cao Cao's eloquence.
Meanwhile, within just a few days, many related powerful families began to take action.
Take Zhang Lu, for example. At this time, the Zhang family was contacting their ancestor, Zhang Daoling. After all, Zhang Daoling was rich—no, he possessed treasures!
After all, Zhang Daoling received Laozi's inheritance, so how could he lack innate spiritual treasures? At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to just buy the entire Yizhou for a fixed price!
As for returning it to the royal family after three generations, that's even simpler. Because that situation will never occur!
By then, I will have already attained the position of Dao Lord, immortal and indestructible. There won't even be a second generation, let alone a third! Naturally, it won't be considered a violation of morality.
In addition, Xun Shuang of the Xun family in Yingchuan was also contacting his ancestor Xunzi at this time.
It's important to understand that while Xunzi's status within Confucianism is slightly lower than Mencius's—he wasn't considered a second-rate sage—in reality, Xunzi was actually more capable, ranking second among Confucian scholars.
Because Xunzi was not only a great Confucian scholar, but also a powerful figure in Legalism! He had a dual identity! Li Si and Han Fei were both his disciples, and he also shared in the fortunes of Legalism!
Therefore, when it comes to innate spiritual treasures, there is really no shortage!
In comparison, the territory of a single state is more important! Therefore, after receiving Xun Shuang's message, Xunzi readily nodded in agreement.
In addition, there was Diao Chan who connected with Nanzi, Sun Ce who connected with Xiang Yu, Liu Bei who connected with Liu Bang, and so on...
Six days later, in a thatched hut thirty miles outside the city, the once inconspicuous hut was now bustling with more than a thousand guests.
Most of these guests were dressed in brocade robes, with jade pendants or swords at their waists, and they arrived in groups of three or five, or in groups of eight or ten, one after another.
Before entering, everyone had prepared masks.
Yes, some masks are very sophisticated and can conceal all information. This includes secrets of heaven, aura, destiny, and so on, all of which can be hidden perfectly.
However, most masks can only provide a slight concealment, such as to evade divine sense detection.
