Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

After a while.

The Ghost Demon Venerable half-knelt and saluted respectfully.

"Lord."

Zhou Ming waved his hand: "Keep hiding, don't expose yourself."

"Yes."

Zhou Ming's figure disappeared immediately, and Ghost Demon Venerable returned to his seat, leaning against the ground and saying, "Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

The musicians then continued to play, and the dancers began to sway.

No one could realize that they had skipped a period of existence.

“I didn’t expect that this Ghost Demon Venerable really didn’t know what the demons were planning!”

After searching the other party's memory, Zhou Ming got this result, which was really unexpected.

However, in the memory of Ghost Demon Venerable, Zhou Ming discovered that the demons still gave him orders, asking him to collect resources and build something according to a diagram.

That picture should be part of a formation.

However, the demons did not tell Ghost Demon Venerable what the function of this formation was.

Obviously, this plan is extremely secret. Although Ghost Demon Venerable has achieved the state of returning to the void, he is still an outsider to the demon clan and is not trustworthy enough.

However, this plan is not like the previous Hufenglin plan, which requires enough manpower to execute. Just these Return to the Void are enough.

There is no need to even tell them detailed information, just their strength and identity, and honest construction according to the plan is enough.

The so-called defensive line was actually intended to cover up this plan.

On the other hand, it is also to avoid the plan being disrupted.

All Return to Void cultivators must be stationed at the outposts on the defense line.

In fact, it is to ensure that the entire plan will not be leaked.

As for what exactly this formation was used for... Zhou Ming was unable to restore or infer it based on just a partial picture.

But there is one thing he can be sure of.

We must not let the demon clan’s plan go ahead!

Now he and Zhijinlou are on the same side.

The relevant interests have been described above.

If Zhijinlou suffers a loss in interests, it also means that Zhou Ming's interests suffer a loss.

Besides, if the demons implement this plan, they will gain a greater advantage.

When we have time in the future, won’t we really have the manpower and time to attack Jiulong Mountain?

Whatever the enemy is preparing, we must stop it!

Zhou Ming didn't know what the demons' plan was.

But he knew that he must stop the demon clan's plan!

"Manpower, resources..."

Zhou Ming thought of a breakthrough.

Although the full picture of the demon clan’s plan is unknown, from the current perspective, they should be preparing to build a huge formation.

This formation is so huge that even the small part of the remaining map controlled by Venerable Guisha, a Return to Void cultivator, is extremely large and covers a vast area.

Naturally, a lot of manpower and resources are needed to build this formation.

From this perspective, the demons building a defensive line may also have this purpose.

In order to ensure sufficient manpower and resources.

They cannot use those low- and medium-level resources for their own cultivation, but they can be used to attract other cultivators to help them do work, or simply as consumables for formations.

So if we start from manpower and resources, maybe there is a way...

But this is not easy, as Tianheng City has a lot of manpower and resources.

To put it bluntly, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.

The demons now rule half of Tianheng City and have plenty of people under their command.

As for resources, there is no need to mention it.

Moreover, for now, the demons are still maintaining a superficial appearance and do not have much compulsory management over the areas they rule.

But if something really happens, the demons can do the same.

At that time, under mandatory management, all personnel will obey orders and all resources will be allocated.

That would be the end of it.

So the point Zhou Ming thought of can be called a weakness, but it is not easy to really grasp and implement it.

"Or, disrupt...order?"

Another idea popped up in Zhou Ming's mind.

But under the current circumstances, what force can disrupt the order in Tianheng City?

Zhou Ming turned into a beam of light and flew out of the city.

Came to a fairy city.

The spiritual energy of this city is far inferior to that of Tianheng City, but it can also support a Divine Transformation cultivator.

At this moment, in the central square of the city stood a huge statue dressed in a black robe.

Monks in the city.

No matter whether it was Nascent Soul or Golden Core, they all knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in front of the statue like an ordinary mortal, and then left to do other things.

This kind of etiquette must be performed once every morning and evening.

If one is away from home or the distance is too far to come to the statue, one must carry a small statue with him and kowtow with the same etiquette.

This situation is obviously not normal.

In fact, the force that rules the entire city at this moment is indeed not a normal force.

Its name is 'Tianling Religion'.

Because all members of the sect wear black robes, the outside world also calls it the Black Robe Sect.

This sect can be traced back hundreds of years.

Although the force was still very weak at that time, it had already demonstrated extraordinary capabilities.

Can confuse the followers.

When the demons came and the four overlords formed the Four Armies Alliance to engage in a fierce confrontation with the demons, this large sect was also expanding rapidly outside Tianheng City.

At this time, many forces realized that this sect was extremely powerful. Even the immortal city with many gods-transforming monks was easily conquered and occupied by this sect.

Many forces outside the city want to go to Tianheng City to seek support.

But Tianheng City was in chaos, and the four overlords were busy taking care of themselves, so how could they care about what was happening outside the city?

As for other Return to Void forces... Although this sect has developed for so many years and has expanded rapidly in recent years.

But up to now, it has still not developed beyond the ruling area of ​​Tianheng City.

One can imagine how vast the area ruled by Tianheng City is.

In the past, monks living in these areas always had a sense of pride.

But now the four overlords in Tianheng City have no energy to manage the outside world, causing this vast area to gradually move towards disorder and chaos.

Many other returning to the void forces outside the region are also busy expanding their territories and invading the areas of Tianheng City. How can they have the leisure to take care of such matters?

Under such circumstances, the many Divine Transformation monks who were defeated by the Black Robe Cult and had to flee could only consider themselves unlucky.

Some ran away.

Some simply joined the Black Robe Cult.

It's no wonder that the Black Robe Cult treated them quite well. Not only did they accept their surrender, they also handed over their original territories to them for them to continue managing.

The only requirement is that all monks in the territory must bow twice a day, morning and evening.

If you meet the requirements, you can even get tax deductions or exemptions.

Afterwards, many people followed suit, and some forces even surrendered without even fighting the Black Robe Cult.

Up to now, the Black Robe Cult has become a behemoth that controls hundreds of immortal cities and occupies nearly one-thirtieth of the area of ​​the original Tianheng City!
