Around 10 pm, the banquet ended.

Tang Rao arranged two seven-seater SUVs to transport everyone to the nearby Spiritual Plant Garden.

Since they had called ahead, Jiang Nuanqiu and the others were already waiting at the gate when they arrived.

"Sister!" Jiang Hanshuang immediately ran up when she saw Jiang Nuanqiu.

"Nuanqiu, long time no see." There was a rare smile on Jiang Hanshuang's face.

"Let's go inside first, your rooms have been arranged." Tian Tian called out.

"You guys go ahead, Nuanqiu, you help with the arrangements. Hanshuang, stay for a bit," Tang Rao said, waving his hand.

All the men looked ambiguously at Tang Rao and Jiang Hanshuang.

Tang Rao kept Jiang Hanshuang by his side, tsk tsk tsk, who knows what he's planning to do…

"What are you looking at? Get inside. I'm going to help Hanshuang advance to the Golden Core Stage, look at her, then look at yourselves, aren't you ashamed?" Tang Rao shouted.

The group of people pursed their lips thinking Tang Rao's excuse felt lame.

Outside the plantation, Jiang Hanshuang stood quietly beside Tang Rao.

She was somewhat nervous because Tang Rao mentioned helping her reach the Golden Core Realm.

This had been her dream for many years.

However, how would Tang Rao accomplish this? With the Heavenly Dao obscured by the Space Barrier, how would he enable her to enter the Golden Core Stage? According to him, understanding the rules of Heavenly Dao is essential for forming a Golden Core.

"Here, take this first." Tang Rao took out an object from his Space Ring.

It was the Golden Core of the Poison Element Golden Core Spirit Beast that had been killed by the Dark Demon Leopard in the overlapping space.

This object contained the rules of Heavenly Dao; swallowing it directly could enable one to comprehend the Heavenly Dao rules, provided one had sufficient perception.

"Should I swallow it?" Jiang Hanshuang asked.

"Wait a moment," Tang Rao looked at Jiang Hanshuang, "This is the Golden Core of a Golden Core Spirit Beast; directly consuming it might allow you to comprehend the Heavenly Dao rules. However, the chances aren't high, about thirty percent."

Jiang Hanshuang hesitated for a moment—there was a seventy percent chance of failure.

A high rate of failure.

"Moreover, this is from a Poison Element Golden Core Spirit Beast, so the Heavenly Dao rules it contains are related to poison. This is not your forte, nor is it your cultivation path. So, the success rate will drop by half, to about fifteen percent. Even if you manage to comprehend, various problems could arise, as the Heavenly Dao doesn't match your cultivation path, which might halt your cultivation progress entirely," Tang Rao continued.

Jiang Hanshuang pursed her lips and remained silent, waiting quietly.

"Can I trust you?" Tang Rao suddenly asked.

Jiang Hanshuang opened her mouth, slightly surprised.

"You are the first and only person who knows my real identity. Can I truly trust you?" Tang Rao asked.

He didn't know why, but Jiang Hanshuang gave him a very comfortable and reassuring feeling.

That is why he had revealed everything to her initially.

Including his true identity and everything about his existence in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains.

"Yes," Jiang Hanshuang nodded very seriously.

"Here, swallow the Golden Core, then hold my hand." Tang Rao smiled, extending his hands towards Jiang Hanshuang.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Hanshuang threw the Golden Core into her mouth and placed her hand in Tang Rao's.

The violent power within the Golden Core immediately filled Jiang Hanshuang's entire body.

Certainly, along with the immense power, were the rules of Heavenly Dao, the poison element lineage of Heavenly Dao rules.

For Jiang Hanshuang, the rules of Heavenly Dao were foreign, especially those she was unfamiliar with.

"Tang Rao, I feel terrible..." Jiang Hanshuang's body began to tremble. She couldn't neutralize the power of the Golden Core or comprehend the poison element rules of Heavenly Dao. Everything was compressing inside her, causing immense discomfort.

"Don't worry, relax your mind, let down your guard, I will guide you," Tang Rao's gentle voice reached Jiang Hanshuang's consciousness.

Jiang Hanshuang's body slightly startled, then calmed down, and the trembling gradually ceased.

She had a strange feeling, as if she could see a starry sky, as if she could see everything, past, present, and future.

However, these pasts, futures, and the present, they all seemed not to belong to her.

Instead...

It was Tang Rao, everything about Tang Rao.

The starry sky belonged to Tang Rao, the world belonged to Tang Rao, everything belonged to Tang Rao.

It was as if she was in the world of Tang Rao's consciousness.

If other cultivators from the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains knew about Tang Rao's actions, they would certainly call him a madman.

Guiding someone else into one's own spiritual consciousness, what a joke.

Even the closest person would not do such a thing.

Because others might contaminate your spiritual consciousness and leave traces on it that would become shackles when you attempt to break through to the next realm.

Furthermore, if the other party has even the slightest malicious thought, they can easily cause your spiritual consciousness to collapse.

No matter how strong you are, no matter how powerful your divine sense is.

Because when you guide someone into your spiritual consciousness, you are undefended against them, and they become a part of your consciousness, able to do as they please.

…

In the starry sky, clouds swirled, radiance flowed, as if experiencing countless years of evolution and disillusionment.

The rules of everything manifested in these flowing years, everything was so clear, so distinct.

Gradually, Jiang Hanshuang saw the ice and frost filling the sky, everything around her congealed.

It was a true freezing, whether it be objects or time and space, all slowed down as if stagnant.

Amidst the sky of frost and snow, a huge monster appeared, breaking through the glaciers, raising its body, rampaging and roaring.

As if it were defying the entire world.

"Control everything here, freeze it." Tang Rao's voice came.

Hearing Tang Rao's voice, Jiang Hanshuang involuntarily raised her hands.

In that instant, everything here seemed to be under her control, she became the absolute ruler of this place.

"Extinguish!" Jiang Hanshuang lightly exclaimed, under the starry sky, boundless coldness swept forward, charging towards the giant beast.

The frost condensed, the beast struggled and roared.

Between the deadlock and the struggle, Jiang Hanshuang gradually gained the upper hand, the actions of the enormous monster began to slow, its roars began to weaken.

Finally, it was completely frozen.

Crash!

The frozen monster suddenly shattered, turning into a field of white frost flowers, flying all around.

Countless frost flowers turned into red petals, rushing towards the sky.

Each petal transformed into a star, lighting up the starry sky.

Jiang Hanshuang stared blankly at the starry sky as clouds shifted and the sun and moon changed.

She didn't know how much time passed when a beam of light came from the starry sky and entered the consciousness of Jiang Hanshuang.

And Jiang Hanshuang, at this moment, fully awakened.

"Tang..."

"Bang!" Jiang Hanshuang opened her eyes, just about to speak, when Tang Rao in front of her suddenly fell to the ground.
