The path to immortality involves enduring nine tribulations of divine lightning. If one can withstand the baptism of nine heavenly lightning strikes, one can naturally open the gates to immortality and ascend to heaven.

Of course, that was in ancient times. In this era, the rules of heaven and earth are incomplete, and there is a lack of special substances needed to become an immortal. Even if Wu Zetian successfully passed through nine tribulations, she would not be able to become an immortal at all and would be stuck at the peak of the ninth level of tribulation for her entire life.

· ·····Requesting flowers· ··

"Your talent is unparalleled in the world; I have never seen anything like it in my entire life!"

"I'm afraid only Jiang Che can compare to you in terms of talent..."

"You were born to reach the highest peak, to stand at the summit..."

Haiyue was slightly taken aback, and exclaimed with a tone full of emotion.

She cultivated for over a thousand years before finally reaching the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but Wu Zetian was able to reach the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm in just three hundred years. She would probably reach the peak of the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm in less than five hundred years. How could she not be amazed?

Such talent is truly rare throughout history and unparalleled in the world. Haiyue finally understood why the ancient sorcerer Jiang Ziya wanted to take Wu Zetian as his disciple.

Thinking of Jiang Ziya, this ancient magician, Haiyue asked directly.

"You are a disciple of the ancient sorcerer Jiang Ziya, a great god of antiquity who possesses the Investiture of the Gods, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. Didn't he tell you how to become an immortal?"

"My master did indeed say that..."

Upon hearing Haiyue mention Jiang Ziya, a strange glint flashed in Wu Zetian's phoenix eyes, but she quickly concealed it, and Haiyue, who was standing beside her, did not notice it at all.

"My master said that in this era, perhaps the only way to circumvent the constraints of Heaven's will and transcend tribulations to become an immortal is through sheer luck..."

What is meant by "achieving immortality through destiny"?

Haiyue raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms to support her massive Achilles tendon, and asked with interest.

She had never heard of becoming an immortal through luck before, and she didn't quite understand it.

"The so-called 'ascension to immortality through fortune' means using the vast fortune of all living beings to open the gates to immortality and step into the realm of true immortals..."

"While achieving immortality through luck is worth a try, there's always the risk of falling out of cultivation level if that luck dissipates later..."

..... . 0

"I don't want to try this unless absolutely necessary..."

"Moreover, the amount of fortune from all living beings required to achieve immortality is enormous and not easily accumulated..."

After carefully considering her words, Wu Zetian parted her lips slightly and slowly began to explain the so-called path to immortality through destiny to Haiyue.

"So, that's why you became the empress?"

"To rule the Tang Dynasty and command respect from all directions?"

Haiyue seemed to be deep in thought, wondering if she could achieve immortality by gathering the fortune of all living beings?

She had never thought of this method before.

They couldn't even imagine that the luck of a group of mortals could have such a wonderful use.

"That's right..."

Wu Zetian nodded slightly, her expression enigmatic. If there were other methods, she certainly wouldn't want to break through to the True Immortal Realm in this way.

But apart from achieving immortality through sheer luck, she has no other options at the moment. Haiyue's failure is right before her eyes, and she dares not try again lightly.

The slightest mistake could result in her soul being scattered and her spirit annihilated, a fate she could not bear.

Having cultivated for over three hundred years, her journey has been smooth sailing. She has yet to reach the highest point and catch a glimpse of that supreme view, and she certainly doesn't want to die unexpectedly along the way.

Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to ask Haiyue for her opinion to see if she had any other solutions. After all, Haiyue was an ancient deity, and perhaps she could find some answers from her.

Now it seems that her idea is about to be completely thwarted.

Although she felt a little regretful, Wu Zetian accepted it gladly, since she hadn't had much hope to begin with.

"There's really nothing I can do to help you with this..."

"but…"

Haiyue sighed, shook her head gently, offered Wu Zetian a few words of comfort, then changed the subject, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"but what?"

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, glanced at Haiyue, and wondered what this woman was up to.

"But Jiang Che might have a way to help you..."

Are you joking with me?

Wu Zetian glanced at Haiyue with her phoenix eyes slightly, speechless, not understanding why Haiyue would suddenly say such absurd things.

She admitted that Jiang Che was indeed very talented, no less so than her, and that given time he would surely reach the same peak as her.

But Jiang Che is only a minor Golden Core cultivator now, how could he help her become an immortal?

Wu Zetian thought that this old woman must be feeling the stirrings of spring and was having some romantic thoughts. After all, women who fall into the whirlpool of love have zero IQ, otherwise how could they say such brainless things?

"I'm not kidding you..."

Haiyue looked serious, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Leaving aside Jiang Che's cultivation speed, after observing him for a while, I've discovered some other peculiar aspects about him..."

"He possesses a miraculous method that allows him to evade the divine sense detection of any cultivator; even I find it impossible to detect him in the slightest..."

"It's as if they were born at the right time, possessing an extremely strong aura of destiny, far greater than yours or mine..."

"He always manages to escape danger and turn defeat into victory, and he acquires a completely new ability almost every so often..."

"It's like suddenly having an epiphany, or the emergence of some special talent..."

"Just like before, he was completely clueless about the art of weapon crafting. I even tested his talent for weapon crafting, and it was, to put it mildly, utterly mediocre."

"But three days ago, he suddenly became able to forge spiritual weapons of the mid-grade Xuan level..."

…………………………………Man.

090: Swallow it, and you will form a golden elixir!

"According to you..."

"Jiang Che is indeed somewhat unusual..."

After listening to Haiyue's explanation, Wu Zetian frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Che's Heavenly Dao Luck alone is more concentrated than that of himself and Hai Yue combined.

Moreover, in just a few days, he transformed from a hopeless weapon-refining novice into a weapon-refining master.

If what Haiyue said is true, then Jiang Che must be hiding some unspeakable secret.

Nevertheless, Wu Zetian still found it difficult to accept Haiyue's explanation.

Even if Jiang Che does have some great secret, he is still just a Golden Core cultivator at the very least!

How could he possibly know the secrets of becoming an immortal?

However, Wu Zetian kept Haiyue's words firmly in mind and planned to investigate them slowly at a later time.

..............................

After returning to the main hall of Baiyu Pavilion, Jiang Che did not rush to leave, but instead found Shangguan Wan'er who was painting and writing calligraphy.

"Young Master Jiang..."

Noticing Jiang Che's arrival, Shangguan Wan'er put down her calligraphy brush, a bright smile blooming on her pretty face, and greeted Jiang Che with a smile.

Looking at the young man in front of her, Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise and interest.

When they first met, Jiang Che was just a minor Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, he broke through to the peak of the Golden Core realm, which was truly unbelievable.

Such an astonishing speed of breakthrough was something Shangguan Wan'er would never have believed if she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes.

She had initially been puzzled by the Empress's strong intention to cultivate Jiang Che, but now she understood everything.

With such terrifying talent, Jiang Che is absolutely worthy of the Empress's vigorous cultivation.

"Is Miss Wan'er painting?"

Jiang Che nodded with a smile, glanced at the landscape painting on the desk, and exclaimed in admiration.

"What an absolutely stunning landscape painting!"

"Miss Wan'er's painting skills are truly remarkable!"

Even the simplest ink wash landscape painting can reveal a great deal.

The scenery in the painting was extremely beautiful and magnificent. Even though Jiang Che didn't know anything about painting, he could still feel a very deep artistic conception.

"Young Master Jiang is joking..."

"Wan'er merely drew this on a whim; it's not something to be taken seriously..."

Shangguan Wan'er gently shook her head, appearing very modest.

"Miss Wan'er is too modest. Even though I don't understand poetry and painting, I can still intuitively feel the magnificent artistic conception of ink painting..."

"When the water rises, the great white!"

After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Che cast a detection spell on Shangguan Wan'er.

[Character: Shangguan Wan'er]

………………

Jiang Che looked at Shangguan Wan'er's entry panel and seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that I have left a very good impression on Shangguan Wan'er these two times, with a 30% approval rating right from the start.

As fellow subjects of the Empress, Shangguan Wan'er must have considered him one of her own.

"Why didn't Lady Haiyue come downstairs with the young master?"
