After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

For several days, Wushen Mountain was in a state of depression. The reason was naturally the death of the Master of Wushen Temple and the destruction of Wushen Temple.

There used to be more than ten Martial Saints, but now there are only seven left.

Although the rest of the elders and disciples did not suffer any large-scale casualties, to them, the destruction of the Witch God Temple was like the collapse of the sky, and they would all become prisoners.

From now on, there will be no freedom.

Even though Jiang Che knew this, he did not stop it, because it was the fact. He had no mercy at all from the moment he destroyed the Witch God Temple.

All the remaining elders and disciples of the Wushen Temple will submit to him.

Those who refuse to obey will die.

Among them, there were indeed a small number of people who resisted, but before Jiang Che could deal with them, Granny Wuhua and others took the initiative to clear them out, causing the vast majority of people to choose to accept their fate.

Their first task was to declare the Baiyue states to submit to the Central Plains and to King Wu Jiang Che.

Once this news spread, it caused an uproar among the Baiyue countries. Many Baiyue warriors could hardly believe it and even repeatedly questioned whether it was true or not.

After all, for the entire Baiyue land, the Temple of the Witch God is the sky.

This has been the case for thousands of years.

Except for the loss of Yuezhou land a few hundred years ago, everything has been ruled by the Temple of the God of Witches. The rest, such as other small countries and various forces, are actually vassals of the Temple of the God of Witches.

Everyone has already gotten used to it.

The existence of the Temple of the Witch God not only means that they have someone above their heads, but also represents their future in martial arts, because according to convention, any venerable Yuanshen can enter the Temple of the Witch God to practice.

Now that the Temple of the Witch God has been destroyed, it has surrendered to Jiang Che.

For some radical Yue people, this was no less a disaster than the annihilation of their race and the destruction of their country.

However, they had no power and could only vent their dissatisfaction at best. Under the brutal suppression of the other powerful men in the Witch God Temple, it only took a few days.

Everyone passively accepted it all.

When this news reached the Central Plains, the waves it caused did not diminish in the slightest. Especially in the eyes of some forces, this was almost as great as Jiang Che's previous destruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As for the reason, it is because the Witch Temple is too terrifying.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak, they were unable to destroy the Temple of the Witch God. Both sides had no choice but to compromise. The name of the Temple of the Witch God was even more terrifying than that of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

However, now the Witch God Temple has been destroyed!
If combined with the previous news of the demise of the Great Leiyin Temple, almost everyone knew that the sky of the Spirit Realm was about to change completely. From then on, all forces could only crawl at the feet of King Wu Jiang Che.

In this regard, some people accept it, some are sad, and some want to take a position in advance.

But no matter who it is, now they have to admit that Jiang Che is the undisputed number one in the world at this moment, and can even be called the number one in the spiritual realm. What's more, some even praise Jiang Che as invincible in the world.

As this news spread, Jiang Che's reputation reached its peak.

At the same time, there were some unexpected gains. That is, some of the noble families and top forces that were originally uncooperative and wanted to bargain with the new dynasty chose to slide down and kneel at the fastest speed.

He submitted wholeheartedly to the new dynasty and even voluntarily handed over most of his profits. He also used various connections to send family members and even elders to join King Wu's army.

After all, no one wants to face a disaster that wipes out their entire family.

As the storm intensifies, the news that Jiang Che is invincible in the world has been recognized by most people. After weighing the pros and cons, they really can't find a way to compete.

What else can you do besides surrender?
Such changes also stunned Qi Yuan Chixue Zhenjun and others. They thought that it would take a huge amount of time and energy to completely eliminate the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, just a wave of news made most of the forces choose to kneel down.

I felt many regrets in my heart.

In today's world, the deterrent power of a well-deserved supreme being is truly unparalleled, and he can make people convinced without even having to take action.

Jiang Che, who was far away in the Witch God Temple, was not quite clear about this.

Because at this moment, he was waiting for the old ancestor Ku Rong to come out of seclusion.

Since they parted at the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Patriarch Ku Rong handed over all other trivial matters to Jiang Che, while he entered the forbidden area of ​​the Witch God Temple, preparing to sacrifice the Sky Blue Holy Cauldron and the Yang God of the Witch God Temple master for his own use.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Che had to suppress his urge to go north and stay to wait for the other party to come out.

Of course, there is a limit to waiting.

If it takes too long, he won't keep waiting.

After all, the situation in the north is very bad now. The war has already begun. Every day, countless soldiers die in the war. Fortunately, the strong men he sent can be regarded as a fresh force.

It relieved a lot of pressure on King Feng Yujiang of the North.

The reason why he was waiting for Ancestor Ku Rong was not only to hand over the designated resources to the other party, but also to completely pull him into his own camp.

Because his purpose is not just to simply fight against the Northern Barbarian army, he also plans to go deep into the Northern Barbarian King's Court to obtain the sacrifice of the Heaven-Repairing Divine Lotus, which is a sacred object of the Northern Barbarian King's Court.

There must be strong men guarding it as well as a large array of protection.

Even the Barbarian Temple would send strong men to garrison the Northern Barbarian King's Court.

After the battle at the Witch God Temple, Jiang Che almost understood that a terrifying force like this that had been passed down for thousands of years was far more powerful than what ordinary people could match.

A Witch God Temple can have a human immortal and a rule human immortal, forcing the two to join forces to kill them. How powerful would the Barbarian God Temple, which is even more terrifying than the Witch God Temple, be?

He might be able to accomplish something by himself, but the hope is slim.

If he could win over Old Ancestor Ku Rong, then his hope would be much greater, which was why he was willing to wait.

Nowadays, ordinary human immortals are no longer considered top-notch. Only rule-based human immortals are the ones who can influence the general trend of the world, and every rule-based human immortal is very difficult to deal with.

His strength has increased dramatically now, and it is no problem for him to rival the rule-based human immortal, but it is extremely difficult to kill him.

In short, in order to be more secure in this battle, he must ask Ancestor Ku Rong to give him a definite answer.

at last.

Just when Jiang Che was getting impatient with his waiting, the dusty forbidden area of ​​Wushen Mountain was finally opened, and the old ancestor Ku Rong, dressed in a green robe, walked towards Jiang Che with a solemn expression.

"The ritual failed?"

Seeing the other party's expression, Jiang Che frowned and asked.

The corner of the mouth of Patriarch Ku Rong twitched:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, can't you hope for the best for me? After all, I have lived for thousands of years. I am not only proficient in alchemy, weapon refining, spiritual plants, but I also have some knowledge of formations. It is impossible for any accidents to happen."

"Since you succeeded, why are you still acting like this?"

Jiang Che said casually.

"This"

Patriarch Ku Rong hesitated and did not answer immediately. Jiang Che did not ask any more questions and immediately threw a storage spirit ring in his hand to him:

"This is the distribution we agreed on for this trip. Please check it out."

Patriarch Ku Rong nodded slightly, and with a quick glance, he was somewhat surprised: "So many?"

Originally, he thought that Jiang Che would most likely give him most of the low-level spiritual objects as compensation. After all, he had already taken away the Tianqing Holy Cauldron. He might feel a little uncomfortable, but he could accept it.

After all, strictly speaking, although his attack was decisive, Jiang Che undoubtedly contributed the most.

What he didn't expect was that what Jiang Che gave him were not all low-level spiritual objects, but also included many precious top-level spiritual objects, which far exceeded his expectations.

Only then did he show a look of astonishment.

"If you are not happy, it's okay to take out another part." Jiang Che looked at him with a smile.

This time, he did give up some of his interests in order to win over Old Ancestor Ku Rong. Of course, it was only a part of the resources that he could not use.

Today, with the resources in the Great Zhou treasury and the resources in the Witch God Temple, he actually has no shortage of some relatively precious spiritual objects.

As long as we can win over Old Ancestor Ku Rong, all of this will be worth it.

After all, it's just resources. Jiang Che will never be stingy as long as they can be used in the right place. Only by giving up his own interests can he attract more powerful people to help.

There was no bond between him and Patriarch Ku Rong, they had only worked together once. He didn't think that he could make such a top-notch warrior bow down to him just by showing off his might.

This is unrealistic.

But the current situation in the world is very strange and confusing.

The Barbarian Temple, Ran Chen, Ji Chengdao, the Confucian saints of Shenghai City, the Qingtian Sect, and the Demon Realm that is eyeing them covetously.

It can be said that this is a major change that has not happened in a thousand years.

If he wants to have matching strength before the real change comes, he must collect sacrifices at all costs, but the sacrifices he can use now are all top-notch treasures in the realm.

It can even make the rule-based immortals covet it.

Under such circumstances, he was unable to cope with the situation alone.

Only by winning over the help of the immortals who follow the rules can his journey of collecting sacrifices be smoother.

There is something to do with home.

Jiang Che realized this more and more deeply as his status became higher and higher. Otherwise, how could he easily give up a treasure like the Tianqing Holy Cauldron to the other party?

Otherwise, how could the Du Zun Dao Sect give such benefits to the Xuantian Wuji Palace?

It's just that he doesn't care.

As long as his strength is invincible, the entire realm belongs to him, so why should he be stingy with some resources?
“It seems that you want me to completely side with you.” Old Ancestor Ku Rong couldn’t help laughing.

"Yes, this is my purpose."

Jiang Che admitted this without hesitation.

Patriarch Ku Rong stared at Jiang Che, his eyes gleaming with light, and after a moment's silence, he said:
"I can join forces with you, and I can follow your orders when necessary, but I will not let you leave any restrictions. If you really encounter a life-and-death crisis, I will save my life first. You must understand this."

In fact, in the past few days, Patriarch Ku Rong has also been thinking about this matter, especially after the battle at Wushen Mountain, which made him witness the horror of Jiang Che.

Not only is his strength terrifying, but his potential is also unprecedented. He is definitely a true immortal.

As the situation in the world is changing, unless he abandons the path of Taoism and refuses to become a true immortal, it will be impossible for him to survive on his own. And since his killing power is not strong, he cannot compete for those top treasures.

If we could have a ruthless person like Jiang Che to help us, we would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, a secret he learned when he was offering sacrifices to the Lord Yang God of the Witch God Temple also made him inclined to join forces with Jiang Che. Otherwise, with his own strength, even if he knew there was an opportunity, he could only watch at most.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. In this moment of life and death crisis, you and I can just save our own lives. Jiang will never force you." Seeing the attitude of Old Ancestor Ku Rong, Jiang Che knew that the matter was settled.

Sure enough, the next moment, Patriarch Ku Rong said bluntly:
"Since you agree, why not join forces with me? I understand the rules of life. There are few people below the level of True Immortal who can kill me, and your killing power is unparalleled.

Perhaps, there is still hope to fight for the chance to become a true immortal."

"Your words are very kind, my friend!"

Jiang Che laughed loudly. If he could have a meat shield to withstand the attack, his abilities would be brought into full play. Ancestor Ku Rong was indeed a perfect match for him.

"And this time, there happens to be an opportunity right in front of you and me." Old Ancestor Ku Rong changed the subject and looked directly at Jiang Che, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, speak frankly."

Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

Patriarch Ku Rong said in a deep voice: "When I was offering sacrifices to the main Yang God of the Wu God Temple two days ago, although I did not obtain his vast memories, I did learn a secret from the Northern Barbarians."

Patriarch Ku Rong was originally a little conflicted about this secret. After all, after telling Jiang Che, it was still uncertain whether Jiang Che would be able to get it. However, Jiang Che's statement made him determined.

After all, if you don’t gamble, you’ll never win.

But that opportunity must be taken.

"Secrets of the Northern Barbarians."

Jiang Che immediately thought of Jin Wuzhu, the Northern Barbarian envoy mentioned by Grandma Wuhua before.

"This news was said by Jin Wuzhu, the envoy of the Northern Barbarians, and by Zhelin, the high priest of the Northern Barbarian Temple...."

Immediately, Patriarch Ku Rong described the opportunity of the transformation of rules in detail.

But Jiang Che didn't quite understand this. After all, he currently had no channels to learn about the secret of the transformation of rules. However, although he didn't know it clearly, he could judge from the expression of Ancestor Ku Rong that this was a great opportunity.

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Ku Rong immediately told Jiang Che:
"The so-called rule transformation is"

"I see."

Jiang Che's face was solemn.

This was the first time he learned that the rules also had to transform, and after the transformation, they could possess such great power that they could even compete with True Immortals, and also be effective against True Immortal calamities.

It can indeed be called a great opportunity.

"We still don't know whether this is true or not, and we need to investigate. Once we know it is true, then the chance for you and I to become true immortals may really come."

Patriarch Ku Rong said in a serious tone.

"With an opportunity in front of us, we must naturally give it a try. How about you and I set off for the north right away and explore it first?" Jiang Che's heart moved, and he said solemnly.

This opportunity was exactly what Jiang Che had planned.

Patriarch Ku Rong nodded slightly:

"it is good."
