This stringent spirit and requirement naturally brought significant influence, the most obvious manifestation being the people's absolute trust in the Grand Chapter Weekly.
Almost no one believed that the content published within it.
Could be wrong.
Even the authority of imperial decrees couldn't match it.
It was only because Ding Yun was a princess, naturally lacking the conditions to contend for the throne, that she could wield such influence without bringing about her own demise. Had it been an ordinary prince, it would have been pure suicide.
No emperor could tolerate that; they would all be wary.
But even so.
She couldn't withstand the constant slander.
The content was extensive, for instance, even if the princess herself couldn't inherit the throne, any prince she supported would gain an absolute advantage.
Wasn't this equivalent to being able to control imperial power?
Another example: even if the princess harbored no rebellious intent, it was still possible that the Qin family might, and if the princess were swayed by the Qin family to want her son to become emperor.
The princess could likely rally countless people with a mere wave of her hand, with many following her lead.
Even more preposterous was the suggestion that the princess, by calling herself a Martial Saint, might harbor thoughts of ascending the throne herself.
After hearing so many accusations and speculations.
Coupled with Ding Yun's considerable influence, Emperor Ping Zhao soon developed a sense of wariness towards Ding Yun. He began to alienate her and deliberately suppressed any princes who attempted to forge connections with her. As soon as Emperor Ping Zhao's attitude shifted, Ding Yun's originally smooth plan progression immediately encountered unexpected obstacles and complications.
For instance, officials in some regions were uncooperative; for example, some escort agencies transporting the weekly were sabotaged.
And then, numerous defamatory articles appeared in the market.
Ding Yun was quite speechless at these maneuvers, unsure of what they were trying to achieve. Did they think she was easy to bully, or what was their reasoning?
Or perhaps they believed that now that they had cultivated martial arts and Qi, they no longer needed to fear her or rely on her.
If Ding Yun hadn't imprinted her mark into the world's origin at this point, she might not have dared to overturn the table or similar actions, fearing world retribution. But she had long since imprinted her mark into the world's origin, so why should she worry about the world targeting her?
The world fundamentally couldn't target her!
Therefore, upon discovering these circumstances, Ding Yun did not go to the palace to confront Emperor Ping Zhao or seek his help. Instead, she immediately dispatched people to investigate the true masterminds behind the incidents. Then, she manifested her martial dao dharma image, towering a thousand zhang, within the capital. She communicated with heaven and earth using her Martial Saint power, condensing endless heavenly lightning.
She directly turned all the masterminds into dust.
Subsequently, using the power of her dharma image, she projected her voice throughout the entire imperial capital: "From now on, anyone who targets this princess or the employees of the forces under this princess, the few who turned into dust today serve as your example."
With a cold snort, Ding Yun then used her dharma image to unleash a palm strike, directly shattering a mountain over five hundred meters tall on the outskirts of the imperial capital, causing it to sink and form a basin.
Only then did she retract her dharma image.
In that moment, all those in the imperial capital who were aware of the events were utterly speechless and trembling, nearly scared to death. They had never known the eldest princess was so powerful, nor had they known how terrifying a Martial Saint could be. They thought they could manipulate the eldest princess.
But today, Ding Yun proved through action that.
They were merely daydreaming and courting death.
After this incident, the officials fell silent. No one dared to sow discord by suggesting the eldest princess might rebel, nor did anyone dare to obstruct Ding Yun.
However, the previous fear was due to Emperor Ping Zhao.
Now, the fear was due to Ding Yun's power and deterrence.
Of course, this was merely the court's reaction. When the news reached the common folk and the martial arts community, everyone practicing martial arts became exhilarated as if injected with chicken blood. It turned out that reaching the pinnacle of martial dao cultivation was no different from the legendary immortals and gods. What was the difference between this and plucking stars from the sky?
This was the power of immortals and gods, the might of divine demons.
Even Emperor Ping Zhao could only compromise.
He made efforts to mend his relationship with Ding Yun.
Only then did Ding Yun truly achieve true freedom and follow her desires.
However, Ding Yun had no intention of becoming emperor, so her subsequent actions were no different from before. At most, she occasionally published her latest research findings in the Grand Chapter Weekly.
For instance, a grain of辟谷米 (Bigu Rice) that could sustain half a month without hunger.
启灵米 (Qiling Rice) that enhanced intelligence and nourished the soul.
锻体米 (Duantiform Rice) that strengthened bones and muscles.
And also Yin-Yang Marrow Cleansing Rice, Vitality Rice, Body Purifying and Detoxifying Rice, Foundation Building Heavenly Dao Rice, Vajra Corn, and so on.
Even Flame Tomatoes.
In short, the core of the things Ding Yun refined from falsehood to truth primarily lay in their low reliance on spiritual energy, with some even requiring none. Furthermore, their growth cycle was relatively short, not requiring a hundred years to blossom, a hundred years to fruit, and a hundred years to mature. Most could mature in two to three months, with the longest taking only about a year, fully considering practicality and timeliness.
These advantages, when combined, were sufficient for the spiritual items refined by Ding Yun from falsehood to truth to be cultivated in most worlds and harvested in a very short period.
There was no longer any worry about cultivating in ordinary worlds or finding raw materials for alchemy. As long as there was land, she could quickly grow a large number of spiritual items with the effects of various elixirs.
The only regret Ding Yun had was that the population of this world was limited. For some overly heaven-defying items, it was impossible to refine them from falsehood to truth. For example, the Heavenly Pan Tao (Peach) that could lead to immortality, or the wondrous treasures of heaven and earth like the Ginseng Fruit that could extend life by forty-eight thousand years.
However, in the end, Ding Yun absolutely refused to give up this ability to cultivate special spiritual items. Therefore, she specifically wrote a skill, "God of Agriculture," into the Talisman of Refining Falsehood into Truth. She set this skill to be capable of refining, influencing, and transforming all plants in heaven and earth.
And she publicized it through the Grand Chapter Weekly.
As for the result, it was both successful and unsuccessful.
She successfully refined the God of Agriculture, but the refined God of Agriculture skill was a阉割 (emasculated) version. It could only refine, influence, and transform plants below the level of low-grade spiritual plants. She could not influence higher-level plants.
What constitutes a low-grade spiritual plant? Bigu Rice and Dragon Tooth Rice were far beyond low-grade spiritual plants. Hundred-year-old ginseng was considered low-grade.
Ding Yun found this outcome both disappointing.
And reasonable.
But fortunately, this skill, unlike Martial Ancestor, was directly integrated into the soul and could be used in other worlds, unlike Martial Ancestor, which only affected the physical body.
Without this world, it was nothing.
After completing this matter, Ding Yun, finding that she had basically refined enough low-end items from falsehood to truth, and high-end items were difficult to refine successfully, made arrangements for her successors, leaving a few life-saving measures for her descendants. Then, she announced that she was going to shatter the void and leave. Her soul directly turned into light and disappeared, leaving behind only an indestructible physical body.
