After capturing the Four Immortals, the remaining demons and ghosts scattered in all directions.
The demon tribulation in this world had been completely eradicated.
Ji Dan descended and approached Song Lin, cupping his hands in salute: "Disciple arrived late and humbly asks for Master's forgiveness."
"No harm done. As long as you're safe." Song Lin asked with a hint of curiosity, "What exactly happened back then?"
"Emperor Yi led his forces to attack. This world was severed by their secret technique, cutting off the Queen Mother's ability to provide support…"
Afterward, the West Zhou Heavenly Court and Emperor Yi's Heavenly Court waged war for thousands of years. Ji Dan fled into the void using breath soil, and Emperor Yi narrowly claimed victory.
One hundred thousand years later, having wandered for one hundred thousand years, they returned to this world to sleep.
"There's another bad piece of news: it seems the Yinn Shang Heavenly Court and the West Queen Mother Heavenly Court have been fighting. I don't know the outcome."
"Fighting?"
The Yinn Shang Heavenly Court had deep foundations, so the West Queen Mother Heavenly Court must have had its advantages.
No wonder Song Lin couldn't get in touch with them.
The Sanmao Heavenly Court could not be reached either. Who knows what exactly happened with these ancient heavenly courts.
After exchanging some pleasantries, they went on to resolve the remaining demons.
Song Lin paused, immersing himself in the newly realized Heavenly Water Dao.
Four new small thousand worlds had joined this time in total.
Lao Mountain, Upper Immortal Golden Demon, Altar Temple, and Wushan.
A total of four small thousand worlds.
Among the four worlds, only Lao Mountain was not on the Ancestor Star.
In other words, this world still required conquest. Judging from his senses, the Lao Mountain World likely did not have a heavenly court, similar to the Taoist Alliance era when heavenly courts were yet to exist.
It was still a world worth developing.
The Upper Immortal World was also promising. Its demon tribulation level was low, the world was just beginning to develop, and its overall power was weak, but it had potential.
The Altar Temple World was average. The Divine Dao prospered there, and with the addition of other magic veins in the future, it could improve significantly.
The Wushan World required no additional explanation—it had the Heavenly Circle and Earthly Square structure, vast territory, and deep foundations.
Subsequently, the people of the West Zhou Heavenly Court merged into the Donghua World.
The Donghua World, along with the other four worlds, established a Medium Thousand Heavenly Court together.
With the ascension, four additional worlds were achieved in one stroke. Song Lin's strategy had succeeded halfway.
Do not underestimate these four worlds. As they say, starting is the hardest part. For a newly born small thousand world to amplify by four additional worlds, it might take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
First, one must infiltrate step by step, allowing their magic veins to take root and grow, coordinating internally and externally to capture the small thousand world.
Not all heavenly courts could afford to arbitrarily start world wars.
Most would opt for under-the-radar operations, investing significant time in achieving conquest.
Song Lin, however, was different. He simply needed to plant the seeds and wait for countless millennia for them to sprout.
With these four worlds as a starting point, future conquests of other worlds would proceed much more smoothly.
Using the power of the Medium Thousand Heavenly Court as leverage, Song Lin planned to proceed with Core Formation once again.
The next might be the Innate Eight Diagrams, or perhaps Innate Golden Qi, Wood Energy, the Natural Dao, and so forth.
These Daos had already been cultivated to perfection in the past.
Once all were refined into cores, Song Lin could attempt to complete the Innate Five Elements.
When the Innate Five Elements Dao reached perfection, forming Nine Pills at random, becoming a True Immortal would no longer be an issue.
Song Lin followed the path of accumulating strength for a decisive breakthrough.
Thanks to the nature of the Monster Chronicles, the "accumulation" process was rapid, given the time dilation of over thirty times faster.
"It's a pity there are no Time Blessed Lands left."
Song Lin sighed with regret.
Such blessed lands did exist, with a few located in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, offering even a time ratio of one to ten or one to a hundred.
However, these blessed lands imposed cultivation-level restrictions.
They typically allowed entry only for cultivators below the Core Formation stage. For those beyond that, entering might cause the blessed land to collapse.
After all, how could a small pond accommodate a large fish?
Especially with someone of Song Lin's caliber, a master at the cosmic level—one breath might destroy an entire blessed land.
The higher one's cultivation, the more their methods of practice returned to simplicity, often just meditating and regulating their breath.
A thousand years, ten thousand years…
Many Heavenly Emperors would go centuries or even millennia without showing themselves.
This wasn't due to laziness; in the vast majority of cases, it was simply due to their cultivation practices.
It was simply that the Heavenly Emperors' lifespans were so long that their pace seemed slow to the world.
For those born in the morning and gone by evening, it was probably as incomprehensible to them as how minor matters of mortals could require several generations to accomplish.
While Song Lin pondered, the battlefield had largely been cleaned up.
The people from various worlds began to interact with each other.
"The Heavenly Hero Realm? Li Zhan, Taoist friend, your Sword Dao seems more authentic than mine."
Having slain the last demon in his domain, Yan Jiuge approached Li Zhan.
Both at the Primordial Spirit stage and cultivating the same magic vein, Yan Jiuge felt a certain camaraderie toward Li Zhan.
"Of course it is authentic. The Swordman Dao was created by Luo Gongyuan, further developed and carried forward by Master Donghua. I may be the first to practice the Swordman Dao."
Li Zhan, noticing Yan Jiuge's Taoist Realm, was secretly astonished.
He himself had just entered the early Primordial Spirit stage, while this person before him had already achieved Primordial Spirit Perfection.
The Heavenly Hero Realm corresponded to early Primordial Spirit, so Yan Jiuge was likely beyond that. Upon inquiry, he learned that Yan Jiuge had even independently pioneered a new realm.
Li Zhan tried to inquire further, to which Yan Jiuge responded generously, "We are all comrades in the future. Taoist friend, feel free to ask if you have any questions."
The Divine Turtle, Zhengxin, and some others approached King Wen, Ji Chang.
"Senior, was that innate phenomenon earlier your doing?"
"Naturally…"
Lu Wu, Ying Zhao, Qilin, Bai Ze, and Xiezhi—several mutant beasts—also gathered together to exchange experiences.
It was only then that many realized belatedly.
The magic veins in their worlds had either been brought by Song Lin or transplanted through his efforts.
This resolved the confusion in some people's hearts.
In the early days, some magic veins had been claimed by Song Lin as serendipitous discoveries or as bestowed by the Sanmao Heavenly Court.
