"Who would have thought that those two secret arts were actually the secret to the founding of Emperor Qingyan's ancestors' empire? Posing as an elder of the Kunlun Heavenly Sect, he secretly approached the core of the Kunlun Heavenly Cavern and set up an array to sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao. This led to the complete sacrifice of the Kunlun Heavenly Cavern's blessed lands to the Heavenly Dao.
In return, he gained the Heavenly Dao's favor and became a true Son of Heaven. Only then could he conquer the world. At the same time, heaven and earth lent him their strength, and he smoothly became the lord of the world.
Afterward, he even targeted the entire cultivation world, sacrificing all the blessed lands and spiritual mountains to the Heavenly Dao. Not only did he gain immortal cultivation and ascend to the Immortal Realm, but he also ensured that his descendants would all be legitimate Sons of Heaven, able to become Sons of Heaven simply by ascending to the throne.
He communicated with the Heavenly Dao during the heavenly sacrifice.
Later, perhaps because there were no longer any blessed lands or other existences containing world origins for them to sacrifice, the Heavenly Dao's sacrificial methods gradually faded. The secret art of using destiny to collide worlds with other worlds was likely devised by the imperial family of previous generations who were unwilling to give up. However, they were hesitant due to the uncertain success rate and the immense cost in destiny.
No one dared to try it.
It was only because Emperor Qingyan was overwhelmingly afraid of death.
That he activated the secret art, sacrificed sixty percent of the imperial dynasty's destiny, and brought about this event. Moreover, during the world collision, he specifically chose a world with little spiritual energy and Dao charm, likely believing such a world in its declining age would be easier to bully and conquer.
It seems this Emperor Qingyan's ambition is truly vast.
Related news was not a secret within the imperial court of that world. Even a majority of the civil and military officials fantasized about Emperor Qingyan becoming the Heavenly Emperor after their success.
And their dream of rising to prominence along with him!"
The wisp of spiritual energy that Ding Yun sent out possessed considerable autonomy. Ding Yun had also commanded this wisp of spiritual energy to gather as comprehensive and hidden information as possible.
Therefore, when the wisp of spiritual energy found that it could not gather much useful information in the county town, it directly traveled to the imperial capital's palace. Utilizing its characteristics, it explored the palace inside and out, even perusing the ancient records within the imperial palace, before bringing this information back to Ding Yun.
After learning of these circumstances and pondering them with a sigh, Ding Yun immediately understood that she could not stand idly by. Although humanity's technological development in this world was impressive, and destructive weapons could even kill Martial Saints, there was no need to fear that Emperor Qingyan would easily conquer them with his martial arts army.
However, there was still a gap between the two systems.
Initially, unfamiliarity would inevitably lead to a large number of casualties. Most importantly, their side consisted mostly of ordinary people without weapons. In fact, even the physical fitness of ordinary people there was inferior to that of ordinary people in Emperor Qingyan's martial arts world. If they were caught off guard, an unknown number of civilians would perish.
Furthermore, powerful weapons could kill martial artists, but they had to hit them first. The reality was that most ordinary people, or even those who had undergone some training, were far inferior to martial artists in terms of physical fitness, eyesight, or speed.
If they were even slightly close, they might be killed by a single palm strike from a martial artist before they could even use their weapons.
Although more destructive weapons would be faster, those martial artists were not fools. If they simply charged into the crowd, who would dare sacrifice hundreds or thousands of ordinary civilians just to kill one of them? In short, the agility and adaptability of martial artists made them relatively difficult to deal with.
To put it bluntly, facing a Godzilla would be easier to handle and manage than suddenly facing tens of thousands of alien martial artists who lacked any legal consciousness or moral bottom line.
Therefore, at present, the best approach is to try to move the battlefield to the opponent's side. This way, at least their side would have fewer reservations and would not suffer a large number of civilian casualties. If there were casualties, they would be on the other side.
The only thing that made Ding Yun quite troubled was how she should inform the country of this situation.
Although the opposing world was unlikely to invade in the short term, if the country was not informed in advance, it would not have time to prepare. The preparations and mobilization of resources required for warfare in another world were not insignificant.
After much deliberation, Ding Yun decided.
To contact the country as a cultivator.
However, she did not want to expose her family.
So, in the next second, Ding Yun made appropriate disguise for herself, transforming her appearance into that of an old woman with a youthful countenance, and specifically flew near the imperial capital to undergo a breakthrough, triggering her Golden Core heavenly tribulation.
During the process, Ding Yun, fearing that the power of the Golden Core heavenly tribulation might not be enough to attract attention, quickly took out a lot of good things from her soul space after condensing a top-grade Golden Core and continued to break through. After all, she didn't need to consider ascending to immortality, so there was no need to worry about the stability of her foundation. The issue of rapid cultivation leading to an unstable foundation could be left for the original body to worry about later.
The external manifestation of Ding Yun's continued breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage was that the Golden Core heavenly tribulation in the sky had not yet dispersed before it rapidly expanded by nearly a hundred times.
An area within a hundred-mile radius was filled with a terrifying oppressive aura, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it. Countless bolts of lightning roamed within the dark clouds like golden-white dragons. Although it didn't match the grandeur of golden armor shining in the sun, it did indeed add some fragmented golden-white light to the pitch-black clouds.
In addition to these external manifestations, those who were closer felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, making them want to flee quickly. Nearby animals were also fleeing frantically. Fortunately, Ding Yun had specifically chosen a secluded and uninhabited place. If she had chosen to undergo tribulation in the city center, it would have been a catastrophic natural disaster.
Such a large commotion.
It was difficult not to alarm the higher authorities.
Before long, the public security bureau, meteorological bureau, and other departments in the imperial capital were all busy. They were busy using satellites to monitor what was happening over there, busy sending people to investigate the situation, and busy evacuating nearby residents, and even small animals.
Following this was Ding Yun undergoing tribulation, successfully receiving one bolt of lightning after another, and using those lightning bolts to temper her body.
The six-nine heavenly tribulation for Nascent Soul was complete.
Even though the spiritual energy in this world was scarce, the tribulation itself did not rely on spiritual energy. Therefore, the scarcity of spiritual energy did not affect the size of the tribulation. In fact, due to the long period without anyone undergoing tribulation, this tribulation was far beyond the normal scale. If Ding Yun hadn't had many treasures and a sufficient cultivation base, she might not have successfully overcome the tribulation.
Instead, she might have turned to ashes.
As the tribulation concluded, Ding Yun did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat cross-legged on the spot, stabilizing her cultivation and waiting for the national authorities to send people to contact and communicate with her. After all, undergoing tribulation was not the main event for Ding Yun. Her primary purpose was to inform the country of the intelligence she had obtained as soon as possible, so that the country could make preparations in advance, and to tell them how to stabilize the spatial passage and how to enter the martial arts world.
