After Tianjizi died in the battle, the fighting spirit of the Changchun Temple monks immediately collapsed, but there were still some elders and disciples who were unwilling to surrender and were holding on to the sect's formation and fighting to the death.
Until the sect-protecting formation was completely breached, all those elders and disciples who refused to surrender were eliminated.
Xiying's methods against them were not cruel, but very decisive.
Some of these people chose to surrender after being captured. There were also people in the Shuangyue Alliance who interceded for them, but Xiying did not hesitate at all because she had persuaded them to surrender once after killing Tianjizi.
That was the last chance for all Changchun Temple monks to survive. Those who did not surrender at that time would not be accepted to surrender again and would be killed without mercy.
Because she doesn't want to face greater threats from the outside world in the future when there are still many hidden dangers inside.
After this incident, the elders of the original factions in the Twin Moon Alliance finally had a clear understanding of Xiying.
She enforces orders and prohibitions, kills decisively, and shows kindness and power at the same time. She is truly a heroic figure. No one dares to look down upon her because of her status as a woman.
Even the original members of the Ming Yue Sect have raised their status to the same level as the Ming Yue God.
The battle at Changchun Guan will determine the outcome, and there will be almost no more battles to fight in the future.
Sitting in Changchun Temple, Xiying regarded this place as a hub that radiated to the Central Plains, and began to send monks from the Shuangyue Alliance to appease and recruit those small and medium-sized sects that had not yet surrendered.
This process went very smoothly, no matter whether they were convinced or not, it was clear that the sect no longer dared to come back to oppose the Shuangyue Alliance.
After that, Xiying began to formulate rules for the mountain and down the mountain, and established a series of guidelines to regulate the behavior of the monks. The most important one was that the disputes between the monks on the mountain must not affect the mortal world.
Practitioners should not regard ordinary people as ants, and should not kill ordinary people rashly.
This is naturally what Yuan Ming meant. In his view, mortals are the source and root of cultivation. If there are no mortals, how can we talk about cultivating immortals?
In addition, Xiying also did another important thing. He ordered people to collect geographical maps of various parts of the Yunhuang Continent. After summarizing them, he ordered monks who were good at formations to sort out the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers.
She wants to do something that has never been done by anyone in ancient times, connect all the spiritual veins of Yunhuang Continent, and jointly build a giant offensive and defensive magic circle that can mobilize the spiritual energy of the entire continent.
The person who proposed this idea was not a monk from the Shuangyue Alliance, but a formation master who surrendered after the Wuyue Sect was defeated. He once arranged a creation formation for Fusang Island to protect the island.
His attainments are extraordinary.
Xiying knew that this process was destined to be long and arduous, but she believed that once it was completed, it would not be that easy for the demon world to invade Yunhuang Continent again.
At least if we do it again, the sacrifices in Yunhuang Continent will not be as tragic as before.
…
More than two months after the war, Yuan Ming came to Changchun Temple from the East China Sea.
After more than half a year, Yuan Ming came here again, and he felt as if it was a lifetime ago and everything here seemed to have changed.
Compared with the previous sect atmosphere, the current Changchun Temple is like a military camp with strict rules. Everyone who comes in and out is busy doing their work.
Each of them looked serious and focused, but there was an unspeakable enthusiasm in their eyes.
Yuan Ming went all the way to the original Ancestral Hall of Changchun Temple, which has now been transformed into the Zhengtong Hall for handling affairs.
The hall was brightly lit, and in the center of the spacious hall was a huge sand table with a radius of about ten feet. The topography on it covered almost the entire Yunhuang Continent from south to north.
Xiying was standing outside the sand table at the moment, holding a few red triangular flags in one hand and supporting his chin with the other, looking at the huge sand table, frowning and silent.
Her face was still so beautiful, but there was some subtle fatigue hidden in her brows and eyes.
Yuan Ming walked forward, but before he could say hello, Xiying suddenly came back to his senses and looked over.
When she saw Yuan Ming, her beautiful eyes suddenly curved slightly, a smile appeared on her face, and her expression suddenly became lively.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xiying smiled.
"You handled everything in an orderly manner, and you didn't even ask me to come to the decisive battle with Changchun Guan. Why do you need me?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.
He didn't ask about the unification of Yunhuang Continent, firstly because he already knew everything about it through the previous news and what he saw along the way, and secondly because he completely believed in Xiying.
Even in this aspect, Yuan Ming felt that he could not control the overall situation as easily as Xi Ying.
Xiying never liked beating around the bush, so he said, "I came to you this time to tell you that I dug out the secret of Tian Jizi's advancement to the Void Return Stage from his soul."
When Yuan Ming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"If you want to break through the stage of returning to the void, in addition to improving your cultivation to the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage, you also need to achieve the unity of the five elements. This is the foundation to break through the stage of returning to the void." Xiying said.
"The five elements are unified into one?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"The unity of the five elements means that you must have the spiritual roots of the five elements, practice the magic power of the five elements, and accumulate enough magic power, then gather the power of the five elements to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul and go straight to the void." Xiying said.
"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that only those with five spiritual roots can become Void Return monks?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Theoretically, it's true, so Nascent Soul cultivators have to find ways to replenish their spiritual roots in the later stages. However, your situation is special. The fusion of the Immortal Tree in your body means that you have gathered all the yin and yang, five elements and seven spiritual roots." Xiying said.
"Then I have already practiced the Jiuyuan Jue. The practice of the Taiyin Spleen Refining Jue can be considered as an entrance into the palace. There is no shortage of the two magic powers of wood and earth. Now I only need to practice the three magic powers of water, metal and fire?" Yuan Ming heard this and said slightly.
Zuo muttered.
In this case, he still needs three books to practice "water, metal, and fire" skills respectively.
"It is not difficult to cultivate the Five Elements Kung Fu, but it is still difficult to break through the shackles with just the Five Elements Mana accumulated in your body, so you need an accompanying spiritual treasure as an aid." Xiying continued.
It was Yuan Ming's knowledge blind spot again, so he stopped interrupting and just listened quietly.
"The reason why Tianjizi was successful is that the Patriarch Changchun Guan passed down a secret technique for refining accompanying spiritual treasures. Through this technique, he refined a five-element spiritual treasure and fused it with his own spiritual roots.
The spiritual root cultivates the spiritual power of the spiritual treasure, thereby accumulating the five elements of spiritual power. When he is about to break through, he will plunder the spiritual power in the accompanying spiritual treasure at once, thus greatly increasing the chance of his breakthrough." Xiying combined with Tianjizi's situation
, explained.
Yuan Ming nodded slightly thoughtfully and thought to himself, no wonder it is called a companion spirit treasure. It is meant to blend with the spiritual roots and grow together.
"Tianjizi's Five Elements Spiritual Beads are five orbs with five elements attributes, and the Canghai Xuanshui Bead is one of them. The other four orbs are all imitations he refined. When it breaks through,
They have all been scrapped. Even the Canghai Xuanshui Pearl has been sucked away nearly half of its spiritual power." Xiying said.
As soon as he heard about Canghai Xuan Shuizhu, Yuan Ming knew that these four imitations were probably not ordinary objects.
"Don't worry about the Five Elements Spirit Pearl. Now that I have the method, I can imitate it again. However, there is no way to imitate the Canghai Xuan Shui Pearl. If I use it again, I'm afraid it will be completely scrapped." Xiying said with some pity.
said.
"This means that there is probably only one chance." Yuan Ming pondered.
"Be fully prepared, I believe you can succeed in one attempt." Xiying looked at Yuan Ming and said.
Yuan Ming was silent.
After a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I almost forgot about the immortal tree."
Xiying frowned when he heard this, and was a little unable to react for a while.
"Xiying, I have practiced the Jumang Ling Jue. This immortal tree in my Dantian is actually equivalent to one of my natal spiritual treasures. You also said before that with this tree, I have
Yin, Yang, Five Elements and Seven Spiritual Roots, then why don’t I just use the Immortal Tree as a companion spiritual treasure and directly integrate the five elements’ mana into the Immortal Tree?” Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"That's right. Where can you find something that is more compatible with your spiritual roots than the Immortal Tree? The Five Elements Spiritual Pearl is not even comparable." Hearing this, Xi Ying's eyes also lit up.
"I will be retreating here from tomorrow on. Is there a suitable place?" Yuan Ming asked.
"The repairs on Chaotian Peak have been completed. It is the place where Changchun Guan's spiritual power is most abundant. You can retreat there. I will send all the secret techniques and elixirs and spiritual materials you need later."
Xiying said.
"Just do what you said." Yuan Ming nodded happily.
…
Since Yuan Ming went into seclusion, Xiying has continued to promote and consolidate her great cause of unification.
Changchun Temple was completely erased from history, and the sect was officially renamed to the Shuangyue Alliance General Altar.
Under Xiying's governance, Yunhuang Continent swept away the haze of war and ushered in a decade of rapid development.
Ten years later, the Shuangyue Alliance has achieved substantial unification.
On the Yunhuang Continent, whether it is Southern Xinjiang or Mobei, whether it is the Central Plains or the East China Sea, almost all large and medium-sized sects have been brought under the command of the Shuangyue Alliance.
Up and down the mountain, regardless of monks or mortals, nine out of ten people have become believers of the two gods Ming Yue and Xi Yue and accepted their protection.
During the process of setting up the joint formation in Yunhuang Continent, Xiying also figured out the distribution of spiritual veins in the spiritual fields on the continent, arranged manpower to dig and plant them, and finally set aside a part for unified distribution, while the remaining land was released on the market through trade.
circulation.
When conflicts arise between different forces within the alliance, the Shuangyue Alliance will also intervene to mediate, and all kinds of overt and covert fights have become much less common. The situation of raising animal slaves, which was common in southern Xinjiang before, has almost been banned.
There were also some forces who were dissatisfied with being controlled and planned to launch a rebellion. However, before they could start a rebellion, they were secretly reported to the Twin Moon Alliance and were quickly suppressed.
If there is a famine in any country in the mortal world, the cultivating forces within the country will intervene to prevent people from cannibalism and parents from exchanging children for food.
The entire Yunhuang Continent, whether it is the world of immortality or the secular world, has become orderly and prosperous under Xiying's care.
Xiying also began to gradually let go and no longer interfered too much in various specific affairs.
Now, the believers all over the Yunhuang Continent are her greatest confidence to let go.
On the one hand, she is more focused on collecting the necessary resources for Yuan Ming to help him break through to the Void Return Stage more quickly. On the other hand, she is also constantly collecting more information to prepare for traveling to the overseas world.
