Liyue Immortal Dynasty.
Gathering Hall.
Today's grand court meeting was particularly lively, with many ministers engaged in endless debates.
The main reason for this was the matter of the Great Emperor's diary.
"According to the latest exposure of the Great Emperor's diary, does this 'Goldfinger' refer to the ability of the Great Emperor to cultivate in his dreams?"
"That's right, it seems so."
"So, Goldfinger doesn't actually refer to someone whose fingers are naturally golden. I thought it was only for those with extraordinary talents."
"Then what does this dream cultivation mean?"
"Could it be because the Great Emperor has consumed the elixir of immortality?"
"What about the Black Silk? Why hasn't the Great Emperor mentioned it recently..."
The ministers were discussing and expressing their opinions, occasionally engaging in arguments.
Prime Minister Yang Mu, however, felt somewhat embarrassed. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Empress Ye Qingge and said, "Your Majesty, since Goldfinger refers to cultivation in dreams, what should we do with those who were recruited because they naturally possess Goldfinger?"
This suggestion was actually proposed by him initially.
Now it turns out that there has been a misunderstanding. Goldfinger doesn't actually refer to those who naturally possess it.
Instead, it is a unique auxiliary ability.
Yang Mu secretly criticized in his heart, where did the Great Emperor come up with these strange terms? He could have just said it was a secret auxiliary method.
In the cultivation world, many cultivators have secret auxiliary methods.
Ye Qingge glanced at him indifferently. She also knew that it wasn't Yang Mu's fault.
Since they have already been recruited, what else can they do?
After pondering for a moment, her calm voice echoed in the hall, "If those people don't have extremely poor talent, then let them cultivate in the court."
"It can be considered as compensation for them."
Yang Mu was grateful and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuchi Holy Land.
Elder Cangyuan also looked somewhat confused. He had been persistently searching for the Black Silk recently.
Now that the Black Silk hasn't been found yet, there is another dream cultivation technique.
How many secrets does this Great Emperor possess?
"Dream cultivation, becoming stronger while sleeping. Is there such a good thing in this world?"
Cangyuan has lived for over twenty thousand years and has seen a lot.
But he has never heard of such a pleasant cultivation method. If that's the case, why bother with seclusion?
Just find a place to sleep!
"Could it be a special function of the Immortal Grass of Longevity?"
Cangyuan hesitated, starting to doubt the direction he had been persistently pursuing.
The Black Silk is not the key.
The Immortal Grass of Longevity is. It has given the immortal Great Emperor infinite lifespan, making him a transmigrator.
Now it has triggered a special effect, allowing cultivation in dreams?
The more Cangyuan thought about it, the more possible it seemed. But he couldn't help but angrily say, "What kind of role does the Black Silk play in all of this? If it's useless, why does the Great Emperor keep mentioning it?"
He couldn't figure it out.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Great Emperor's diary was extremely profound, and deciphering it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Cangyuan paced back and forth, then stopped after a while.
A resolute look flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I refuse to believe in superstitions. I must find this Black Silk!"
Elder Cangyuan possesses a strong sense of persistence and never gives up.
He once spent thousands of years to open a Cave Mansion, gradually refining the seal of the Cave Mansion's owner.
In the end, he obtained a great opportunity and broke through to the Mahayana stage.
His determination is evident, but the downside is that he easily gets fixated on things.
Yuan Ruoyu also knows this and didn't try to persuade him further.
She also has a strong curiosity about the Black Silk and thinks that it would be a good thing if the Elder could find it.

On the other side.
On a luxurious ship.
Jiang Youlong appeared absent-minded and had an unpleasant expression on his face.
Hua Hongyi, upon seeing this, asked, "Jiang Shao, what's wrong with you? Why have you been so absent-minded these past few days?"
"Did something happen? Tell us, let's discuss it together."
At this moment, Zuo Qingtian also spoke up, "That's right, Jiang Shao, do we still need to be polite with each other?"
"Sigh..."
Jiang Youlong sighed and turned around. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said,
"Didn't you notice anything unusual?"
Hua Hongyi was puzzled, "Unusual? What do you mean?"
Zuo Qingtian also widened his eyes slightly, not understanding why Jiang Youlong suddenly said such things.
They were responsible for tracking the Immortal Great Emperor. As more and more of the contents of the Great Emperor's diary were exposed, they gained more information.
This also meant that the time for them to complete their mission was getting closer.
Everything was going according to plan.
What else could be unusual?
Jiang Youlong fell silent. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "The Blood Spirit Sect incident this time!"
"It feels strange to me!"
"A sect that has dominated the southern region of Qingzhou for tens of thousands of years was completely destroyed because of a sentence in the diary. Isn't that enough to be alert?"
Zuo Qingtian retorted,
"The Blood Spirit Sect is just a small sect. Even if any one of us took action, we could easily destroy it. What's so special about it?"
Jiang Youlong shook his head and said, "Brother Zuo, think deeper..."
"What if the diary mentioned not the Blood Spirit Sect, but my Jiang family, or your Zuo family, or the Hua family?"
"What would be the outcome?"
Zuo Qingtian opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he froze.
If it was their Zuo family, the outcome seemed to be no different from the Blood Spirit Sect!
The Zuo family was an ancient cultivation clan with strong power, naturally not comparable to the likes of the Blood Spirit Sect.
But what was terrifying was that after the exposure of the Great Emperor's diary this time, those forces that took action against the Blood Spirit Sect were not simple!
The Liyue Immortal Dynasty!
The Yuchi Sacred Ground!
The Holy Land of Absolute Beginning!
The ancient cultivation clans Pei, Gu, He Lian, and so on.
If these forces joined forces, let alone the Blood Spirit Sect, even if the Jiang family, Zuo family, and Hua family joined forces, it would be difficult to resist.
Hua Hongyi stood there in a daze, seeming to understand something, her face pale.
After pondering for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Is this just a coincidence?"
"The Blood Spirit Sect was destroyed because they once made a move against the Immortal Great Emperor."
Hua Hongyi continued, "But we have no grievances with him. He can't just fabricate facts out of thin air to deal with us, right?"
Zuo Qingtian let out a sigh of relief and also said, "That's right!"
However, Jiang Youlong directly said, "No grievances, but what are we doing now?"
Hua Hongyi's face changed, "..."
Zuo Qingtian also stood there in a daze, his face turning pale.
Silence ensued.
After a while, Jiang Youlong expressed his concerns, "Have you noticed? The contents exposed in the Great Emperor's diary, from the initial Xuanqing Sect to the current Blood Spirit Sect, and even the hidden Yuan Ruoyu..."
"It's like a series of tests!"
Jiang Youlong's speech quickened, "That's right, the Immortal Great Emperor must be testing something."
"But what exactly is it?"
"What is the purpose of the Immortal Great Emperor? Why is he doing this?"
Hua Hongyi and Zuo Qingtian's faces became even more grim.
They remained silent for a long time.
Until Jiang Youlong also fell silent, Hua Hongyi asked, "All of this is just your speculation, right?"
"Perhaps, it's all just a coincidence?"
Jiang Youlong sighed again and said, "If it's a coincidence, then that's the best. Otherwise, the Immortal Great Emperor would be too terrifying."
"Let's wait!"
"As the diary continues to be exposed, some clues will surely be revealed."
Hua Hongyi and Zuo Qingtian nodded.
However, their faces showed a hint of worry, and they too became absent-minded.
"I hope it's really just a coincidence!"
