Xuan An City was the largest city in Sun Country and served as the capital, where the royal family resided.

In the palace, the king, a man in his 40s, appeared worried. He looked at his prime minister and asked, "How should we respond to them?"

The prime minister, a woman in her 50s, replied, "Your Majesty, I believe we have no choice. Cloudy Sky Sect would never allow Wan Province to remain in the hands of Heavenly Road Sect. They will attack regardless, and once they take control, they won't give it back."

The king expressed his concern, "But our country was supposed to be a buffer zone. How can we survive if we get involved?"

The prime minister lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying this, but we have no choice but to choose a side. We may lose our independence, but we will survive if we align ourselves with the victorious side."

Reluctantly, the king asked, "How long can we delay it?"

The prime minister replied, "I'm afraid no more than a week."

The king sighed and made a decision, "Make preparations. We will assist Cloudy Sky Sect in reclaiming Wan Province. However, if possible, negotiate that only immortal resources within the province should be under their control, while the rest remains ours."

The prime minister bowed and left to carry out the king's orders.

The king slumped on his throne, devoid of the strength to stand up.

…

Hao Gongming looked around Xuan An City and smiled.

"So many people are here. It's estimated that tens of millions of people live here."

She began walking along the streets and soon stumbled upon a bar. Curiosity piqued, she entered. Inside, there was a lot of chatter.

"Have you heard about Wan Province?" said a young man with tattoos on his arms.

"What happened? My father went there for trade," inquired another young man.

"It's said that another country attacked there, and there is going to be war," replied the tattooed man.

"What does that mean? Are they going to conscript soldiers?" asked a worried young man with brown hair.

"Hey, are only soldiers involved, or are normal people affected too?" questioned the young man who his father was in there.

The tattooed man responded, "Of course, normal people die too. It's chaos. A few cities have been destroyed."

Soon, panic spread among the crowd. Similar scenes unfolded throughout the capital, and many people rushed to buy supplies, only to discover that everything had been confiscated by the government.

Hao Gongming observed all this with interest and decided to meet the king in person to inquire about the situation.

She quickly located the palace and effortlessly bypassed the formation guarding its entrance. Her cultivation level was so advanced that the formation seemed as fragile as a drawing in the sand.

Without hesitation, she made her way to the center of the palace where the king resided. Ignoring the need for formalities, she entered the king's bedroom.

At that moment, despite the early hour, the king was preoccupied with his concubine when Hao Gongming suddenly barged in.

The concubine screamed and the king shouted for his guards.

It was a pity that all of the guards had already been decapitated by Hao Gongming.

She smiled at the terrified king and said, "Hello, king. It's strange for a king to have no cultivation at all."

The king, assuming Hao Gongming was an assassin, pleaded, "Please, I can give you ten times the amount of gold."

Hao Gongming sighed and replied, "If I wanted you dead, you would already be dead. I am an immortal cultivator who might be able to help you, so gather yourself together."

After a moment of contemplation, the king replied to the earlier question, "It's an agreement between Cloudy Sky Sect and Heavenly Road Sect. According to their rules, kings can have immortal subordinates, but they themselves must be mortals."

Hao Gongming found it interesting and inquired, "Then what is the matter with Wan Province?"

The king proceeded to tell the whole story.

Hao Gongming proposed, "In that case, I have a proposition for you. You help me find all +18 boys within your country, and in return I will help you retake Wan Province and maintain your independence. How does that sound?"

The astonished king asked, "Can you do that?"

Hao Gongming smiled and replied, "Either you accept, or I kill you right here and destroy your country myself." She maintained her smile as she made this statement.

The king fell silent for a few seconds and then said, "I accept."

"Good. Now gather as many boys as possible for me. I want at least a million by tomorrow,"

With that, she left with incredible speed, resembling teleportation.

Soon, the king's guards regained consciousness, and the prime minister arrived to find the king lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" she inquired.

The king explained everything, and the prime minister asked,

"What is your decision regarding this matter?"

It was such an important issue that only the king could decide.

He responded, "Gather all the boys as requested."

The prime minister bowed and left.

...

The palace was immense, housing a training ground for the military within its walls.

It could accommodate millions of people! At this moment, many boys stood and sat around in confusion, believing they had been conscripted and were about to go to war.

Hao Gongming's voice resonated, "Welcome, everyone. From now on, you are all members of the Hao Harem Sect."

She didn't even test their talent; Su would handle all that.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded: "Congratulations on achieving 'Harem Master.' Stat Point +5. As your harem members' numbers increase, your physical power improves. As your harem members' cultivation improves, your cultivation level improves."

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Hao Gongming was overjoyed with this achievement. She now had 14 free stat points, so she allocated 10 more points to power.

* Immortal-Thick Skin: Reduces all physical damage received.

* Immortal-Blood Strength: Temporarily enhances strength by burning one's own blood.

* Immortal-Inexhaustible: Greatly reduces exhaustion from physical activity.

* Immortal-Absolute Defense: Allows blocking one attack from an opponent in the Illusory Realm once per day.

* Immortal-Overwhelming Strength: Temporarily increases strength by 100 for one day, followed by a subsequent 50-point decrease for a day.

* Immortal-Breaking the Void: Enables the host to break through the void and enter the endless, with control over the landing location.

* Immortal-Ultimate Attack: Allows the host to use one attack per day capable of injuring a normal Illusory Realm cultivator.

* Immortal-Domain Mastery: Creates a domain surpassing enemies' strength and enhancing allies' power.

* Immortal-near immortal: As long as one of your clones survives, even if your main body dies, all memory, power, and abilities will transfer to the designated clone.

* Immortal-Clone: You can create 10 clones of yourself, each with the power of the early stage of the Imitating Realm.

Hao Gongming was ecstatic about this new cloning skill. With it, she no longer needed to worry about the safety of her harem members.

She then shifted her attention to the group of millions of people.

"Now we start moving to the Hao Harem Sect. There, you will be grouped and learn immortal arts,"

She used one of her skills: Breaking the Void!

The void shattered, revealing a portal right at the front gate of the Hao Harem Sect. "Everyone, move!" she commanded.

Initially, many hesitated, but with just a hint of her aura, everyone was intimidated, and they soon entered the gate. The gate closed behind them. "I hope Su can organize them well," she thought to herself.

Then, she approached the king, who was dumbfounded by her ability to break the void, and said, "Give me a detailed map of the countries around here."

The king complied, retrieved a map, and handed it to Hao Gongming.

One day later, she opened a portal and arrived in a province.

Her cultivation realm was now officially Yin Yang Transformation, not to mention her immense physical power.

She extended her spiritual senses, and they covered the entire province, and even beyond, encompassing the entire country. She hadn't anticipated her spiritual senses being this strong.

Soon, she located all the high-level cultivators in the province and teleported directly to their location using her Yin Yang Transformation teleportation power.

In a meditation cave, an old woman from the Heavenly Road Sect, who was in the Yin Yang Transformation stage, sat in deep meditation. She was the highest-ranking member of the Heavenly Road Sect in the province. They were constructing a massive formation in preparation for war.

Suddenly, the woman felt another presence in the cave and opened her eyes.

What she encountered was a punch that shook the entire province. Not even a trace of blood remained from the old woman.

The force of the impact reduced the Heavenly Road Sect headquarters in this provance to dust, decimating many mortal cities in its wake.

Even King of Sun country in the royal capital felt the tremendous shockwave.

Hao Gongming was surprised by her own strength.

She no longer had the desire to talk; she craved battle. She felt so incredibly strong that she disregarded everything, whether it was the Heavenly Road Sect or the Cloudy Sky Sect.

Laughing out loud, she teleported to confront all the powerful cultivators in the province. She held nothing back.

In less than five minutes, all cultivators and monsters above core formation in the province were dead. The impact of her punches almost reduced the entire country to rubble. She smiled contentedly and used a portal to travel to the royal capital. Due to the vast distance, she couldn't teleport there using Yin Yang Transformation.

Arriving directly at the king's side, she announced, "The Heavenly Road Sect in the province has been wiped out."

The king's palace was in chaos, heavily damaged with cracks covering every surface. The casualties were immeasurable.

The king nodded silently, his eyes devoid of life.

Hao Gongming smiled and returned to the Hao Harem Sect.

...

Su was astonished!

After millions of new disciples arrived, he was completely overwhelmed.

He never anticipated such a massive influx of disciples. He had no choice but to accommodate them outside and gather food from every available source.

One by one, he tested the talents of these people and assigned them to the core, inner, outer, or handyman disciple groups.

He utilized everyone he could, but even then, after a day, he had only processed 5,000 individuals. He cursed in his mind as Hao Gongming suddenly returned.

She smiled at Su and asked, "How are things going?"

Su wore a serious expression as he replied, "It's not good, Gongming! We don't have enough resources! We don't even have enough food and water!"

Hao Gongming reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, I'll go get them. Just wait a few minutes."

She then used her clone technique, and suddenly there were two Hao Gongmings.

One of them vanished through a portal.

Su looked bewildered and asked, "What just happened? Did I see two of you just now?"

Hao Gongming replied, "Don't pay attention to it. It's just one of my skills."

Su nodded solemnly and sank into deep thought.

...

Hao Gongming traveled from country to country, effortlessly infiltrating the headquarters of various sects and looting everything before sending it to the Hao Harem Sect.

She visited over 20 cloudy sky sect headquarters in multiple countries and amassed an astonishing amount of resources.

None could detect her presence, let alone resist her and Everything went smoothly.

While looting the headquarters of a particular country, she stumbled upon a map of cloudy sky sects planetary headquarters.

She smiled wickedly and used a portal to go there.

The planetary headquarters was immense, with its land area alone surpassing that of several countries. However, she encountered a formidable formation that barred her entry.

she grinned and muttered to herself, "Okay, time to break it again."

Taking a deep breath, she unleashed a punch with all her strength.

The moment her fist collided with the formation wall, the planet trembled.

The continent that planetary headquarters was located on suffered devastating destruction.

The entire land outside the formation was obliterated, wiping out all forms of life, be it mortal or Yin Yang Transformation.

Back at the Hao Harem Sect, a powerful shockwave jolted the land, causing it to crack.

The once formidable formation shattered and proved powerless against the overwhelming force.

They were busy organizing resources, so everything was already chaotic. This development made everything worse.

However, a powerful aura suddenly emerged.

It was Hao Gongming's clone in the Imitating Realm.

With her immense power, the earthquake subsided, and everything started to stabilize.

Cloudy Sky Sect planetary Headquarters:

Hao Gongming was astonished! This formation was extraordinary!

It didn't even crack under her full power.

laughing, she unleashed her "Immortal Ultimate Attack" and delivered a punch with the strength equivalent to an Illusory Realm cultivator.

Once again, the planet trembled, showing signs of destruction as if it were tearing apart. Oceans evaporated, and continents were reduced to rubble.

Hao Harem Sect:

The Hao Gongming clone grew increasingly concerned. The pressure was mounting, and even with her Imitating Realm cultivation, it was becoming impossible to keep the harem safe.

Hurriedly, she opened a massive portal to an unknown planet and moved the entire sect with everyone outside there!

Cloudy Sky Sect planetary Headquarters:

Hao Gongming was filled with disbelief.

Despite her strongest attacks, the formation remained unyielding.

It effortlessly withstood all her assaults.

Frustrated, she unleashed her trump cards, blood Strength and Overwhelming Strength!

Her power surged to more than 180, fueled by the burning of her own blood, pushing her strength to an unknown level.

She gazed at the sky, observing different galaxies.

Focusing on one in particular, she effortlessly destroyed it, reducing it to cosmic dust.

She possessed the ability to annihilate galaxies with just a glance!

Turning her attention back to the formation, she delivered an unbelievably powerful punch.

The planet disintegrated instantly, reduced to atoms, and everything in close proximity to the planet was blown away.

Nothing could resist such an overwhelming attack.

At least that was what she thought.

But unbelievably, even though the planet had vanished and everything nearby was blown away, the formation and everything within it remained steady and completely unharmed.

Hao Gongming couldn't comprehend it. She wondered what this formation was made of and how it could withstand such immense destruction.

In her moment of defeat, she felt an unimaginably terrifying aura behind her.

She turned to see a young man with eyes that resembled the vast universe itself.

The man shook his head and waved his hand.

every instinct within Hao Gongming screamed at her to run away.

Unfortunately, she had no time to react. The moment the man waved his hand, she disintegrated into a mist of blood. Not even her physical power of more than 180 points could save her.

…

The man thought to himself:”To think that in this remote place, a second step peak cultivator appeared—it is strange.”

The young man wore a confused expression.

He snapped his fingers, sending planetary headquarters of cloudy sky sect away.

He also saw Heavenly Road’s planetary headquarters wandering around.

He snapped his fingers once again and sent it to away to them.

Anyways, taking it was useless.

Sects like Cloudy Sky Sect held their planetary headquarters in high regard.

The formations of planetary headquarters were interconnected, so attacking one was equivalent to attacking them all. Unless faced with a late fourth step cultivator, nothing could damage the formations.

At most, hostile forces would seal the planetary headquarters rather than attempting to break through the formation.

This young man was a third step cultivator of Cloudy Sky Sect, sent to resolve the problem when Hao Gongming attempted to breach the formation.

After all, maintaining the formation came at a cost, and defending against a peak second step cultivator would only increase that cost. Even if one were wealthy, it didn't mean resources could be wasted.

The man soon vanished, leaving the space empty as if nothing had been there.
