Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Seven Sects Alliance Headquarters, in the main hall.

"Greetings to Ancestor Qingxu!"

When Patriarch Zhen Yang, Dugu Yan and others entered the hall, they all bowed and saluted with respectful expressions.

"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be polite."

Zhang Yao sat on the main seat and raised his hand to indicate with a smile.

After everyone was seated, he glanced around the crowd and said with slight surprise:

"Friend Dugutian, why didn't you come?"

Dugu Yan stood up and whispered:

"Reporting to my ancestor, my ancestor passed away at the end of his life seven years ago."

"I see."

Zhang Yao showed a hint of surprise, nodded and said:

"A Taoist friend from Heaven can be considered to have great blessings, and there will be many successors."

"In the hands of fellow Daoist Dugu Yan, the Dugu family will surely be able to further develop and live up to the expectations of fellow Taoist disciples in Heaven."

"Inherit the good words of our ancestors."

Dugu Yan bowed respectfully before sitting down again.

After Zhang Yao reminisced with Patriarch Zhenyang, Patriarch Sanshan and others, he asked about the experiences of Master Black Abyss, Patriarch Jiuhua, Chen Xianhe and the others over the years.

After learning that it was the Dugu family who protected these three people:

"Fellow Taoist Qingxu..."

Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan looked at each other, and the latter took the initiative to transmit his spiritual message.

After the two discussed for a few words, they quickly reached an agreement. Zhang Yao looked at Dugu Yan and said:

"Fellow Taoist Mingyuan and I are deeply grateful to the Dugu family for providing help in times of crisis."

"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water."

"In the next hundred years, half of Mo Yuan's output will be given to the Dugu family. I wonder if fellow Taoist Dugu Yan is satisfied with this gift?"

When Dugu Yan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly stood up and pretended to refuse a few words before accepting the gift with satisfaction.

Half of the output of the entire Moyuan within a hundred years, that is, 5%, will be given to the Dugu family. This is a much richer reward than he originally expected!

Although it is only half a percent, the income from this half percent is several times higher than the combined output of all the spiritual veins, mineral deposits, spiritual fields, etc. currently occupied by the Dugu family!

If there were no such big benefits, how could it be worth the trouble of the Seven Sects Alliance to move here?

"This Dugu family is really lucky..."

Ancestor Zhenyang, Ancestor Sanshan and others also looked at Dugu Yan with envy in their eyes.

But such a reward was obtained by the Dugu family after taking the huge risk of offending the seven sect alliances and being destroyed by the whole family. In addition to envy, they also had some faint admiration in their hearts.

"Ancestor Ming Yuan is really willing to give up."

In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts flickered slightly.

According to the agreement between him and Ancestor Ming Yuan, the interests of this Mo Yuan are divided into 50 and 50, with him taking half and Ancestor Ming Yuan taking half.

This distribution is basically fair.

After all, the subsequent guarding, development, maintenance and management of Mo Yuan, as well as a series of trivial matters arising therefrom, are all the responsibility of Ancestor Mingyuan, and Zhang Yao only needs to sit back and enjoy the results.

Of course, the half of Ancestor Ming Yuan is not exclusive to him alone, but also includes the entire Li Yuan Sect after reconstruction, as well as the local factions of Da Mo that are attached to it.

The half percent allocated to the Dugu family this time was deducted from the half share of Ancestor Mingyuan and would not affect Zhang Yao's interests.

"correct."

Zhang Yao's eyes finally turned to the last unfamiliar Golden Elixir monk:

"Is this a monk from Dali too?"

Ancestor Tianmang did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up, saluted, and introduced himself.

Over the past decade:

The seven sect alliance's strong entry into the southwest caused a lot of turmoil and chaos, and chaos was the ladder to upwards, creating a lot of opportunities.

Patriarch Tianmang is one of the representative figures. He is from an ordinary immortal family in Dali, but has extraordinary talent and spiritual roots. He has always been dormant and waiting for opportunities.

It wasn't until the Seven Sects Alliance stirred up the storm that he was keenly aware of the opportunities. He joined forces between the Seven Sects Alliance and the major forces in Dali, playing both sides.

As a result, he got several key opportunities, thus achieving the realm of golden elixir in one fell swoop, and became a decisive force that dominated the world of Dali's cultivation of immortality.

"Actually, it's more of a fluke that I can achieve the Golden Core realm."

Patriarch Tianmang was very humble and pointed out:

"I heard that the world of immortal cultivation in Dayu has been turbulent in recent years. Not only have local geniuses risen, but also outsiders have intervened. It's very lively."

"In the past ten years alone, they have given birth to two Jindan monks. They are both enemies and friends, and they are called the Dayu Twin Stars."

"oh?"

Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly:

"The poor Taoist really needs to see it."

The chaos in Dayu's immortal world was actually something he had expected.

After the Battle of the Jade Shrine, the Jindan cultivators in the Dayu Immortal World were almost dead, leaving only a single seedling of the 'Sansha Taoist'.

Being a dominant family is not necessarily a good thing. Several Jindan forces in Dayu suddenly collapsed and a large number of disciples fled. It is difficult for the Tiansha Sect alone to swallow them up.

This means that many key knowledge such as exercises, secret techniques, and elixir recipes that were monopolized in the past, as well as some controlled resources such as foundation-building elixirs, are flowing out, which will inevitably create a lot of chaos.

The chaos in Dayu may not only give opportunities to internal cultivators, but may also arouse covetousness from outside.

Under normal circumstances, the strong men from the Central Plains countries would not covet the southwest. However, there are many new Jindan monks with ordinary backgrounds who find it difficult to establish a situation in their homeland. In order to seek further development of their sects or families, they will retreat. Ask for the second best.

The chaos in Dayu undoubtedly provided opportunities for these people, and it was obvious that a Sansha Taoist alone could not control the situation.

"Dayu is in chaos, but I don't know what the situation will be like in Dacang..."

Zhang Yao's mind was spinning with thoughts.

Among the four powerful countries in the southwest, he was the only one he had never been to, and he had never been in contact with powerful people from Dacang, so he didn't know much about the situation in Dacang.

But for him today, these are not important.

In today's Southwest, he is the one giving orders, not the one following the rules.

…………

Almost at the same time.

Just when Zhang Yao was meeting many Jindan monks at the headquarters of the Seven Sects Alliance.

Tianzhou, Mingliang Mansion.

The majestic and majestic mountains are covered with lush green forests, a light mist floats between the forest fields, and towering giant trees can be seen everywhere in the primitive dense forests.

"La la la..."

The hem of his white robe was dancing in the wind. The free and uninhibited young man hummed a tune, fiddled with the two orbs in his palms, and crossed the mountains in a few steps.

His figure flashed again, and he came to a towering ancient tree. His eyes swept over the layers of branches and leaves that blocked the sun, and he looked at them very seriously.

He looked at it for half an hour before showing a faint smile:

"That's all."

The young man in white robe took one step forward, and his body instantly shrank tens of thousands of times, turning into a tiny speck of dust that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and landed on an inconspicuous green leaf.

As soon as the speck of dust touched the leaf surface, a strand of leaf veins flickered slightly, and the speck of dust disappeared instantly.

After a while.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

In the ancient hall, the young man in white robe knocked on the old stained cabinet and said dissatisfied:

"Hey, you lazy idiot, why are you sleeping every time I see you?"

"ah?"

Behind the counter, the sleepy little monk raised his head, yawned, and said lazily:

"It turns out it's you, Sword Lord."

The white-robed young sword master raised his eyebrows and said:

"Half a month ago, you sent a message saying that the old guy, 'Shenxing Heavenly King', was going to invite two powerful people with the ultimate golden elixir to go to the southwest to help him out. The reward is huge."

"Is this commission still there? I just finished handling the things at hand and am going to go to the southwest for a walk. I have never been to such a remote place."

"Oh, what a coincidence, you're late."

The young monk spread his hands, blinked and said:

"The commission has been cancelled."

"cancelled?"

Jianjun was startled for a moment:

"Then the old guy doesn't need help anymore? Has the matter in Southwest been resolved?"

"That's not true."

The little monk shrugged:

"He is dead."

"Not only him, it seems that his disciples, disciples, and followers are all dead, so without the client, the commission has been cancelled."

"died?!"

This time, Jian Jun was really surprised:

"When did it happen? Who killed him?"

"Is there anyone in this borderland who can kill Murong Xiao?"

The young monk recalled it for a moment before replying:

"A few days after the commission was issued, Tiangong's spies sent back information, saying that Murong Xiao was dead, and the seven sect alliance he formed was also destroyed."

"As for the person who killed him... he seems to be a peripheral member of Zi Yao's side. I heard he is a 'Celestial Master' and he is still very young."

"Heavenly Master?"

The sword master nodded slightly and said:

"That's not surprising."

"I never thought that a remote and remote place on the border could produce talented people who would follow the path of a heavenly master. It is really rare."

When he said this, there was a look of interest on his face, and he smiled and said:

"People like this will definitely not be willing to be trapped in the southwest. Sooner or later they will come to Tianzhou."

"For hundreds of years in the land of Jiufu, the only strong person who has followed the path of the Heavenly Master is the famous 'Dragon King of Mirror Lake'. Now there is finally a second one. It's really exciting..."

The little monk rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"You are really worried that the world will not be chaotic. I would rather Tianzhou Jiufu has less disputes."

"What's the good of fighting every day? Not everyone is like you, a natural fighting maniac, hoping to suddenly realize the 'inspiration' in the fierce battle."

"Tch, you're so boring."

The sword master curled his lips and walked away with a flick of his sleeves:

"Since the commission is gone, I will leave and you can go to sleep."

…………

Southwest land.

Just a few days later, powerful men from Dayu and Dacang came to the headquarters of the Seven Sects Alliance to pay homage to Zhang Yao.

In the Dayu Immortal Realm, there are four golden elixir monks. In addition to the old acquaintance Sansha Taoist, there is also an outsider from Gui Kingdom, and two new golden elixir monks known as the 'Dayu Twin Stars'.

The Da Cang Immortal Realm is more prosperous. Since it has not suffered any turmoil in the past thousand years and has been less affected by the Seven Sects Alliance, there are a total of six Jindan cultivators, which can be regarded as the strongest among the countries.

Although Dacang's strength in the immortal world is not bad, in front of Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan, they obviously don't have the capital to be arrogant, and their attitude is the most respectful.

After a few symbolic discussions, Zhang Yao directly promulgated the new rules.

This set of rules was modified from the legal rules of the Seven Sects Alliance, and was much looser in comparison. All countries adopted a laissez-faire attitude and would not interfere easily.

Zhang Yao's only hard request is that all countries make regular offerings to Qingxu Palace, which is equivalent to tax collection in disguise.

In addition, other provisions, including measures such as opening up trade routes, exchanging supplies, strengthening exchanges, etc., are also conducive to connecting the southwest region as a whole and promoting the prosperity and development of the world of immortality in various countries.

The only obstacle is probably the existence of the desolate zone, but neither the Seven Sects Alliance nor Zhang Yao have any good solution to this problem and can only try to avoid its influence.

Faced with such loose terms, of course many Jindan monks would not raise any objections, and a unanimous consensus was quickly adopted, and everyone was happy.

After this meeting, which represented the highest level in the Southwest, it meant that the Seven Alliances were officially listed as public enemies of all countries, and the Southwest also ushered in a new ruler.

Zhang Yao, the ancestor of Qingxu, officially ascended the throne of the Lord of the Southwest.
