After a few drinks, livening up the atmosphere, Tangyu also stood up. Everyone quieted down, knowing it was time for serious matters.
Tangyu said, "Master, Supreme Elder, I've returned this time for a major undertaking. I made this plan a year ago, and now I can finally carry it out. I'm sure you already know what this plan is without me having to say it."
Hearing Tangyu's words, Yan Nantian was genuinely shocked, almost jumping up, looking at Tangyu with wide eyes and astonishment, saying, "Tangyu, are you planning to move against the Liang Kingdom? Do you have that kind of confidence?"
It's not that Yan Nantian didn't believe in Tangyu's strength, but the Liang Kingdom is a second-tier power, having several Zifu Realm experts. Moreover, the foundation of the Liang Kingdom is very deep and not easily defeated. Conquering the Liang Kingdom is indeed a very difficult task. Even if Tangyu is in the Zifu Realm, Yan Nantian still feels it's too reckless.
The five Supreme Elders were also extremely shocked and speechless. For them, the Liang Kingdom is like a colossal being. The Yanshan Sect is like a powerless infant before the Liang Kingdom.
Tangyu smirked and said, "Master, do you think I would do something I'm not confident about? Since I've decided to do it, I naturally have complete confidence."
Yan Nantian swallowed nervously and said, "Tangyu, are you already in the Zifu Realm?"
Tangyu shook his head and said, "I'm not in the Zifu Realm yet, just in the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer. But I can easily slay ordinary Zifu Realm experts."
"What!!!!"
Tangyu's words were truly astonishing. Claiming to easily slay Zifu Realm experts while in the Golden Core Realm is something very few can say. Perhaps only the outstanding disciples of a Holy Land could utter such words. Even the elites of top Immortal Sects might hesitate to make such a claim. However, Yan Nantian and the others don't doubt Tangyu's strength. Tangyu's reputation has indeed been growing, and many of his deeds have spread widely.
Moreover, with their understanding of Tangyu, they know he wouldn't engage in a battle without confidence. If he's willing to do this, he surely has the confidence. Conquering the Liang Kingdom is indeed an unimaginable feat, and even thinking about it is invigorating.
Yaomei chimed in, "Rest assured, my master is quite formidable, and he has another Zifu Realm follower who will arrive soon. At that time, with two Zifu Realm experts, it will be no problem to destroy the Liang Kingdom. So, just sit back and enjoy the show."
Yan Nantian and the others were once again shocked. Tangyu actually has another Zifu Realm follower? This is too incredible! Such followers are usually only associated with Zifu Great Powers of great fame, yet Tangyu has one. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, it would indeed be unbelievable.
Tangyu said, "Master, conquering the Liang Kingdom is easy; I am completely confident. However, after conquering it, unifying the entire Liang Kingdom becomes crucial. Ruling the Liang Kingdom will naturally fall to our Yanshan Sect. I will only be responsible for conquering the Liang Kingdom; the subsequent matters will be up to you. Of course, I will provide you with enough assistance so our Yanshan Sect can smoothly take over the Liang Kingdom, achieve unification, and complete the leap from a third-tier power to a second-tier one."
These words set Yan Nantian and the others' blood ablaze, boiling with excitement.
Such ambitions were something they never dared to dream of before. This is a grand vision, the highest of dreams. To Yan Nantian and the others, it's their life's honor and the best affirmation of their lives. The significance is too great for them. If they can complete this grand enterprise, they would even be willing to die immediately.
In life, everyone has pursuits. Some pursue immortality, some fame and fortune, some the development of their sect. Yan Nantian and the others are the backbone of the Yanshan Sect, leading it. The honor and disgrace of the Yanshan Sect are tied to them. Seeking immortality is beyond their capability, so they can only think of expanding the Yanshan Sect.
Despite their excitement, Yan Nantian spoke gravely, "Tangyu, our Yanshan Sect is still too weak in terms of foundation. Together, we have only six Golden Core Realm experts, and it's impossible to unify and rule the entire Liang Kingdom. Once the Liang Kingdom falls, chaos will erupt, and factions will fragment the land. No faction will pledge allegiance to our Yanshan Sect. Controlling the entire Liang Kingdom is extremely challenging."
"The leap from a third-tier power to a second-tier one is also extremely challenging."
Tangyu smirked and said, "Master, human effort can achieve anything. I've considered these factors. However, I believe it can be done. The strength of a power is ultimately determined by how strong its strongest member is. Once I conquer the Liang Kingdom, my fame will shock the entire Liang Kingdom, and all factions will submit to me. After conquering the Liang Kingdom, my two followers will remain with the Yanshan Sect, one in the Zifu Realm and one in the Golden Core Realm Seventh Level. With these two supporting and securing the Yanshan Sect, no one will dare to act rebelliously."
"Then we can absorb the resources of the Liang Kingdom, recruit people to submit, and gradually establish order. Those who dare to resist will be eliminated. If necessary, we can also use some Tie Xue methods."
"This—" Yan Nantian was overwhelmed with excitement, "Good, good, good, Tangyu, you proceed as you see fit. Our Yanshan Sect will certainly follow you to create our empire. Haha, whether the Yanshan Sect can become famous worldwide rests entirely on you, Tangyu. If we can rise to a second-tier power in my lifetime, I will have no regrets."
This matter, naturally, was settled just like that. With Tangyu taking charge, Yan Nantian and the others could simply wait and watch the show; there was no need for them to intervene. They only needed to clean up the aftermath and maintain control in power.
Having discussed the matter, Tangyu continued, "Master, Supreme Elder, besides these matters, I have something else to give you. You are all at the Golden Core Realm Sixth Layer, if your strength can be elevated to the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, you could hold your ground with some ability, right? Plus, with my two followers, I believe it would be enough to stabilize a region temporarily and even control a kingdom. As long as I'm here, I don't think any force would dare to provoke us blindly."
"What, how is this possible, Tangyu, you—" Yan Nantian and the Supreme Elder looked at Tangyu again with shock, each with an expression of amazement.
The Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, for them, might be unattainable in their lifetime. The Golden Core Realm Sixth Layer has already obstructed their path, making it difficult for them to take another step forward. Without a significant opportunity, it's clear that this is where their strength would end.
The Golden Core Realm Sixth Layer is essentially the end of the road.
The Supreme Elder has been stuck at the Golden Core Realm Sixth Layer for nearly a hundred years, making it completely impossible for him to advance further through his own cultivation. Without a major opportunity, his strength is halted here.
Although Yan Nantian's talent is somewhat higher, even wanting to break through to the Golden Core Realm Seventh Level is a very challenging task, and he's been stuck at this realm for ten years already. Whether he can reach the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer in his lifetime, honestly, Yan Nantian isn't at all confident.
So hearing Tangyu say this, both were left feeling bewildered and watched Tangyu with unparalleled shock, unable to comprehend what Tangyu meant by these words. Could it be that Tangyu has a way to help them break through to the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer? How could such a thing be possible?
There are methods, such as having Immortal Treasures, but Immortal Treasures are so rare and precious.
The other four Golden Core Realm cultivators also gazed at Tangyu with an expression filled with disbelief.
With a flick of his hand, Tangyu revealed two Purple Sun Pills. As soon as the Purple Sun Pills emerged, Yan Nantian and the others were utterly stunned, their eyes fixed intensely on the Purple Sun Pills.
After staring for quite a while, Yan Nantian finally exclaimed with astonishment, "Purple—Purple Sun Pill, could it be the Purple Sun Pill? The supreme Immortal Pill capable of allowing a breakthrough from the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer to the Zifu Realm?"
To them, the Purple Sun Pill was something that only existed in legends. How could it be obtained in reality?
The value of a single Purple Sun Pill is unimaginable; it could be said that the entire Yanshan Sect wouldn't be able to afford it even if sold. A Purple Sun Pill is valuable enough to spark a life-and-death battle between two second-tier forces. At this moment, having two Purple Sun Pills displayed before them, made Yan Nantian and the others feel somewhat unreal, like in a dream.
Seeing these two Purple Sun Pills indeed made Yan Nantian and the Supreme Elder's faces flush red with excitement. Naturally, they yearned for the Purple Sun Pill without compare. If such an opportunity lay before them, there would be no hesitation to risk everything.
The other four Golden Core cultivators were filled with immense envy but knew such an Immortal Pill wouldn't be for them, leaving them with only waves of admiration.
Beside them, Yaomei could only look on in vain admiration.
Tangyu nodded and said, "Indeed, the Purple Sun Pills. Master, Supreme Elder, this is what I've prepared for you. With these Purple Sun Pills, it should allow you to achieve a more complete breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer. This way, you would have the strength to oversee the Liang Kingdom. After the situation in Liang Kingdom concludes, I likely won't return much. Everything here will depend on you, Master. As a disciple of the Yanshan Sect, this is all I can do."
Yan Nantian, filled with excitement, couldn't utter a word for a moment. He patted Tangyu's shoulder heavily and said, "Your contribution to the Yanshan Sect is unmatched. The fact that the Yanshan Sect has someone like you is our blessing, the protection of our ancestors. Our Yanshan Sect will surely be etched in history because of you, Tangyu."
Tangyu smirked and said, "That's secondary; I also hope the Yanshan Sect can truly grow strong. When the time is right, I will bring all my family and friends over, and they'll all be settled within the Yanshan Sect."
"That's a minor matter. With your contribution, I could even hand over the position of Sect Master of Yanshan Sect to you. In the future, the Yanshan Sect will revolve around you," said Yan Nantian.
Tangyu waved his hand and said, "Master, that's unnecessary. You should continue leading the Yanshan Sect as Sect Master. I'm not in the mood to focus on this at the moment. Alright, Master, you should go and make your breakthroughs first. Once you've fully absorbed the Purple Sun Pills, that's when we'll begin our actions."
