At this stage, such fusion is an essential process in creating the Immortal Dynasty.
For the old Emperor, the emergence of the Immortal Dynasty offered him a brand new mode of governance. He could control everything in the Mortal World indirectly through the Immortal Dynasty. Moreover, he could step back into the shadows and become the pivotal figure who oversees everything from a distance.
Of course, the old Emperor also understood that it was unrealistic for one person to hold all the power within the Immortal Dynasty. Delegating power to various factions was an inevitable choice. However, as long as interests were cleverly entwined to form an unbreakable common interest community, the cycles of rise and fall of ordinary dynasties would find it difficult to shake the foundations of the Immortal Dynasty.
Furthermore, he could skillfully use the rise and fall of dynasties to adjust the situation in the Mortal World, ensuring it remained under his control. Additionally, the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty had another crucial advantage: even if the Great Yu Dynasty declined or perished in the future, the impact on the old Emperor himself would be significantly reduced. He could still maintain his status and influence with the power of the Immortal Dynasty.
As for Xu Qing, the true disciples within the Immortal Dynasty practicing the Golden Core Right Method undoubtedly served as the perfect "nourishment" for his Heavenly Demon cultivation. Their wisdom, cultivation insights, and attitudes towards Xu Qing—whether recognition, admiration, doubt, or hostility—could all become aids on Xu Qing's cultivation path.
Currently, Xu Qing continued to advance on his cultivation path, and ordinary cultivation resources and insights were increasingly limited in their enhancement for him. Creating the Immortal Dynasty was akin to creating a higher-level cultivation environment, allowing him access to more top-tier wisdom and cultivation achievements, thereby achieving breakthroughs and leaps in his own cultivation.
Simultaneously, this also helped incorporate the top thinkers throughout the land into the structure of the Immortal Dynasty. Just as the Imperial Examination consolidated dynastic rule, the trials of Immortal Sects and the promotion of the Golden Core Right Method could solidify the foundations of the Immortal Dynasty, granting it substantial influence both in the Cultivation Realm and the Mortal World.
Xu Qing delved into the study of the gains and losses of past dynasties, thoroughly examining from multiple angles the crucial significance of the Immortal Sect exams and the necessity of promoting the Golden Core Right Method. He understood that in its initial stage, the Golden Core Right Method would undoubtedly require extensive practice and repetitive trial-and-error. What seemed theoretically perfect didn't equate to actual feasibility. Various issues and challenges would inevitably arise during its implementation, necessitating constant adjustment and improvement.
The old Emperor listened quietly to Xu Qing's exposition. At times, a flash of contemplation appeared in his eyes, occasionally revealing a hint of agreement. Ultimately, he gently nodded, agreeing to Xu Qing's proposal.
As the era of cultivation gradually arrives, major cultivation sacred lands led by the Great Zen Temple urgently need to establish themselves in the new situation and gain greater influence.
The emergence of the Immortal Dynasty provided them with an excellent platform, similar to a closer cultivation alliance, bringing together various cultivation forces. If these formidable forces were not incorporated into the structure of the Immortal Dynasty, they might establish their own central, forming new, uncontrollable powers.
Moreover, the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty also helped dismantle the control and influence that old great nobles and aristocratic families had over local areas of the Great Yu Dynasty, breaking the old interest structure and achieving a new era transition.
In this transition between new and old epochs, the key figures of various factions, such as the old Emperor, Xu Qing, and Xiong Chan, were silently competing against each other. They all understood that in this war without gunfire, the one who lasts longer will laugh last in the final competition. It was no different in essence from political struggles in the mortal era; survival was the greatest victory.
The old Emperor clearly believed he had the qualifications to survive to the end.
Xu Qing, on the other hand, felt he would certainly not die.
Xiong Chan believed that if he could enter the Great Leiyin Temple and obtain the secret cache of Shakyamuni, he would surely become the ultimate victor.
Despite each harboring their own thoughts, they had a common goal in the current situation—to resist the demon of Black Mountain. The Immortal Dynasty still hadn't birthed a true creator, and facing the formidable demon of Black Mountain, all factions must unite and confront this significant threat together. It was precisely because of this common enemy that they maintained a subtle cooperative relationship on the surface.
With Xu Qing's active promotion, the Demon Hunting Bureau continued diligently fulfilling its crucial responsibilities of maintaining world order and combating demons; the Daoist School and Martial Arts Academy devotedly nurtured a new generation of cultivators and martial artists; the promotion of Daoist Scripture and Martial Arts Scripture proceeded steadily, offering more people the opportunity to learn cultivation methods; preparations for the Immortal Sect trials were also underway in full swing.
These measures, like surging tides, profoundly altered the foundations of the Great Yu Dynasty.
For ordinary people, they might not fully comprehend the deep meaning behind these changes, but they could genuinely feel the changes in their lives. Especially in the aspect of food, the high-yield crops promoted by the Great Yu Dynasty significantly increased food production, freeing the people from worries about having enough to eat.
Simultaneously, the Longevity Silver Coin of the Great Yu Dynasty played a huge role in the overseas market, continuously acquiring grain from abroad. Many indigenous aristocratic families overseas had a strong demand for silver coins to purchase luxury items such as tea, silk, and porcelain. And selling grain was the most convenient way to obtain silver coins. Even though the common people and slaves under their rule might not have enough to eat, these indigenous aristocratic families remained eager to sell grain to satisfy their own desires. In their eyes, common people and slaves were merely "piglets" that could be driven and traded at will. If necessary, they could even purchase black slaves sold by Westerners to supplement their labor.
