The Ximen family has already controlled the mortal world, and can obtain the most and best resources in this interface, which is of great benefit to the family's rise.
Nowadays, the Zhongqing world is also under control, and the speed at which the family obtains resources has greatly increased, further accelerating the family's rise.
On this trip to the True Spirit Realm, Ximen Changqing brought a large amount of resources, including 80% of the resources seized in the Zhongqing Realm.
After all, if the family wants to truly develop and grow, it must focus on operating the true spiritual world. The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, and it is destined to be difficult to obtain top-level resources for cultivating immortals.
In the true spirit world, the Ximen family's industry is not large enough, and it has just begun to develop.
The core industry is the shops in Xianjifang City, which is also the largest source of income. The Qingxi Tribe’s land has limited potential and is considered a small industry.
Chaoyang Sect has just begun to develop, and the potential is still very good. In the future, it can definitely develop into a large sect and become an important industry of the Ximen family.
In addition, the members of the Ximen family are dispersed to study in various major sects, which can greatly expand the family's tentacles. If you are lucky enough to become an elder, it will be extremely beneficial to the family.
The Yanlong clan, because they can get a half-price discount from trading resources with the Ximen family, are very happy to act as a protective umbrella, and the eighth-level Yanlong takes turns to guard Xianjifang City.
Although the eighth-level Flame Dragon is very low-key and most monks cannot detect its existence, the nearby major forces are aware of it.
They chose to strengthen trade with the Ximen family, and were even willing to trade with the Ximen family for precious resources that were never sold outside.
The big forces have shown a cooperative attitude, and many other small forces are even more afraid to make mistakes. They all trade resources with the Ximen family honestly.
With the full support of the Yanlong clan and the sincere cooperation of other forces, the rise of the Ximen family has greatly accelerated.
In just five years, the number of Ximen's Lianxu clan members has expanded to thirty-five, and the number of Huashen clan members has exceeded 300.
Among them, most of the Lianxu people are cultivating in the True Spirit Realm, with only a few people distributed in the other three interfaces.
Two-thirds of the Huashen clan members choose to practice in the true spirit world, and the rest are distributed in the other three interfaces.
The most gratifying thing is that the clan members placed by the family in various major sects have all been promoted to the realm of god transformation with the help of family resources.
For the Lianxu Sect, as long as they are promoted to God Transformation, they can get a very good status, and it is even possible to become the leader.
After all, the ancestors of Xu Lianxu have to retreat frequently, and the god-transforming monks are the best candidates to take charge.
In addition, the position of head of the Chaoyang Sect was also obtained by a member of the Ximen family, Ximen Changqing's younger brother Ximen Yongle, who was in the middle stage of becoming a god.
Regarding the identity of Ximen Yongle, Bai Zizhen, the great elder of Chaoyangmen, did not even know.
In order not to arouse suspicion from outsiders, the Ximen Lianxu clan members kept a low profile and did not compete with Bai Zizhen for the position of great elder.
Nowadays, at least in name, Bai Zizhen is still the most powerful elder of Chaoyang Clan and the signature figure of Chaoyang Clan.
The destruction of Red Maple Valley caused some waves in the vicinity, but the strong entry of Tianyi Sect made many sects who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity choose to give in.
After that, this matter was gradually forgotten by people. After all, in the true spirit world, a mere Lianxu Sect was not worth mentioning. Almost every year, the Lianxu Sect was destroyed.
And as Tianyimen gradually digested and absorbed the territory of Red Maple Valley, their eyes began to be aimed at Chaoyangmen.
After all, there are many disciples in Red Maple Valley who have already taken refuge with Tianyi Sect. They can attack the Chaoyang monks under the banner of revenge for the sect.
If the monks from the Chaoyang Sect fight back, it will be a slap in the face of the Tianyi Sect. After all, these former monks from the Red Maple Valley are already disciples of the Tianyi Sect.
To the weak, the truth does not make sense. The strong want to impose crimes, so how can the weak be allowed to argue?
Of course, before provoking trouble, Tianyimen must first find out the true strength of Chaoyangmen. If they can't even figure out the strength of their opponent, it would be too risky to act rashly.
"Elder, our people have sneaked into the Chaoyang Sect. After years of inquiries, we found that there are less than ten monks in the Chaoyang Sect, and their highest level of cultivation is only in the middle stage of the Xuyang Sect.
As for the allies behind them, there are really no clues. Those Lianxu elders have no contact with ordinary disciples at all."
On a mountain peak, a god-transformation monk was respectfully reporting the situation to a void-refining monk.
They are all monks of the Tianyi Sect, and their mission is to find out the strength of the Chaoyang Sect, especially the supporting forces behind the Chaoyang Sect.
Monk Lianxu was very dissatisfied with this result. After years of investigation, he could not even figure out the forces behind Chaoyang Sect. It was really disappointing.
"What have you done all these years? The forces that can support Chaoyang Sect to destroy Red Maple Valley must not be small forces. You can't even find a trace of them. What a waste!"
The Lianxu monk was very angry and in a very bad mood.
After seizing the territory of Red Maple Valley, they immediately sent agents to Chaoyang Gate to investigate the secrets of Chaoyang Gate.
It's a pity that after so many years, these detailed works have never been able to discover the existence of the Ximen family.
We can't blame them for not doing a good job in intelligence work, but the clan members from the Ximen family who came to guard were all members of the Lianxu clan. They were only able to transform themselves into gods carefully, so they couldn't effectively track them, let alone discover the Ximen family.
"Elder, maybe the sect behind this has listed Chaoyang Sect as its own branch, and they have merged."
The cultivator made a hypothesis.
"Tell me about your analysis?"
"Elder, there have been several battles between Chaoyang Gate and Red Maple Valley. Originally, there were only two Lianxu Elders left. But since the destruction of Red Maple Valley,
There were suddenly a lot more Lianxu elders in Chaoyang Sect. These were all new faces. They were definitely the elders who were behind the force.
They have sent so many elders to guard this place all year round. They regard this place as the branch of their sect. This is the only reasonable explanation.
In addition, the sect has recruited a large number of new disciples, and many of them possess unique skills and are masters with extraordinary strength.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How could an ordinary Void Refining Sect recruit disciples and have such a genius appear? This is very abnormal."
The geniuses that the cultivator mentioned are naturally the people arranged by the Ximen family. All of them are family elites, and they join the Chaoyang Clan to hone them.
"What you said makes sense. It seems that if you want to find out the forces behind Chaoyang Gate, I still have to take action personally."
Elder Lianxu of Tianyi Sect sighed helplessly.
He felt very helpless that he, a master of Xuzhou Lianxu, had to do such a trivial matter as gathering information in person.
The Ximen family is not very clear about Tianyimen's plan, but Tianyimen will take action against Chaoyangmen sooner or later. This is the consensus of the family's senior leaders.
As long as the territory of Red Maple Valley is completely digested, in order to further expand the sect's power, it is an ideal choice to take action against Chaoyang Sect.
Now, the only thing that makes them hesitate is that they can't figure out the supporting forces behind Chaoyang Gate.
If this supporting force is a stronger sect, it may be a disaster for Tianyi Sect.
Tianyimen is worried that once this powerful sect is offended, it will push back Tianyimen's territory and cause Tianyimen to lose a lot of benefits.
In the world of immortality, the weak will always prey on the strong. It is natural for the strong to devour the weak, and there is no reason to say so.
But if the forces behind the Chaoyang Gate are not strong and are much weaker than the Tianyi Clan, then if they do not attack the Chaoyang Gate, they will lose an opportunity to expand.
Nowadays, the ancestor of the Tianyi Sect has reached the perfection state of Void Refining and is seeking a breakthrough, which requires massive resources.
Only when the sect expands can it have more resources to supply the ancestors with breakthroughs. Therefore, Tianyi Sect has an urgent need to expand.
The delay in finding out the forces behind Chaoyang Sect made some Tianyi Sect elders restless.
In order to test Chaoyangmen's reaction, they asked the foundation-building disciples to sneak attack Chaoyangmen's property.
Of course, these foundation-building disciples are all former disciples of Red Maple Valley. Once the situation changes, Tianyimen will have room for maneuver.
Soon, the disciples of the Tianyi Sect's Foundation Establishment launched a surprise attack on the Chaoyangmen Xuan Iron Mine and stole a large amount of the mined Xuan Iron.
For Chaoyangmen, the black iron mine is nothing, otherwise, it would not only be defended by the foundation-building disciples.
But Tian Yimen's behavior is a proper provocation. If it is ignored, the next person who will be robbed may be a higher-level spiritual mine.
After this news reached the sect, Ximen Yongle, as the leader, was very worried. He was very aware of the strength of Tianyi Sect, and he was also aware of the strength of the family.
In Ximen Yongle's view, the family's strength is obviously not as good as Tianyimen's. If a large-scale conflict really breaks out, it will be very detrimental to the family.
He did not dare to delay and immediately reported the news to Ximen Changqing and other senior family officials to seek their opinions.
"Tian Yimen! Are you finally going to take action?"
Seeing the news coming from Chaoyang Gate, Ximen Changqing smiled calmly.
At this moment, Ximen Zangjian, Ximen Renzheng, Ximen Changyu, Sang Xiaoyu and other core clan members are all in Xianjifang City.
They were not too shocked when they heard the news, but it was indeed not good news. If it was not handled well, it would be quite troublesome.
"Changqing, with the strength of the family, I am afraid that I am not a match for Tianyimen. Do we need help from the Qingyan Dragon Clan?"
Ximen Renzheng asked.
"Seventh Uncle, do you want the Yanlong Clan to know that Chaoyang Gate is our property?"
Ximen Changqing shook his head in opposition and said: "The reason why the Yanlong Clan can cooperate with us without any evil intentions is that it is of great benefit to them.
The second reason is because they are worried that after the fall out, the resources of my Ximen family will be obtained by the four major immortal clans.
We should be on guard against the Yanlong clan, but we can’t trust them too much.”
"Chang Qing, this is just because we are worried that Tianyi and the others are too powerful, and there is also a powerful master of the Great Perfection of Void Refining. With the strength of the family, it would be unwise to start a war with the Tianyi Sect!"
Ximen Renzheng explained.
"Don't worry, Seventh Uncle, don't you still have me? I would like to meet you for a while while practicing the Dzogchen Perfection."
Ximen Changqing looked confident and did not take the ancestor of Tianyimen to heart.
"Fourth brother, you are capable of challenging the Void Refining Dzogchen cultivator, are you really sure?"
Ximen Changyu had an envious look on his face. He was not afraid of the middle stage of refining the void now. It was also the early stage of refining the void, but Ximen Changqing no longer paid attention to the perfection of refining the void.
"Haha! I'm just saying casually, but you really don't need to worry too much. The Tianyi Family has a great cause, isn't there any competitor?
They will not use all their strength to fight us, and if they know that we are strong enough, they will not dare to act rashly."
Ximen Changqing said with a smile.
Many years ago, the tribesmen sent by the Ximen family to enter the Tianyi sect have just been promoted to the early stages of becoming gods, and their status has improved.
According to this tribesman's information, Tianyimen has competitors in many directions.
Therefore, the strong men of Tianyi Sect need to be stationed in multiple directions to ensure the safety of these territories. Only a part of the strong men can be mobilized.
In other words, once the Ximen family conflicts with Tianyimen, they will not face the entire Tianyimen, but only part of the power of Tianyimen.
In this way, the Ximen family still has a great chance of winning, especially Ximen Changqing himself, who has a large number of spiritual pets of the same level, and whose combat power far exceeds that of ordinary monks.
The Lianxu clan members are also equipped with multiple sets of top-quality heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and are also blessed by puppet beasts of the same level. If they really fight, the loser will definitely be Tianyimen.
As long as Tianyimen doesn't go crazy and doesn't want to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, it will die out after hitting a wall.
Only transactions with large profits and low costs will attract people. If the price paid is too painful and far exceeds the profits, then the gains outweigh the losses.
"Changqing, you mean to resolutely fight back. Once Tianyimen provokes, we will fight back once? Then how should we fight back?
Should we set up an ambush to attack the invading monks from the Tianyi Sect, or directly enter the Tianyi Sect's territory and rob them of their spiritual mineral resources?"
Ximen Renzheng asked.
"Of course, retaliation is reciprocal. Tianyimen monks dare to break into our spiritual mines. Then why can't our monks break into the other side's territory to snatch the spiritual mines?
If Tianyimen escalates the conflict, then we must also increase our retaliation methods. We must not be frightened by Tianyimen.
Of course, it is also necessary to mobilize more people from the Lianxu clan, in case of a fight, only with more people can we win."
Ximen Changqing decided that he would never tolerate Tianyimen. If the other party dared to provoke, he would let them know the consequences of provoking Chaoyangmen.
Soon, Chaoyangmen's foundation-building disciples raided a binite mine in Tianyimen and robbed a large amount of binite resources, which was considered a response to Tianyimen.
Afterwards, the Tianyi Sect's Danjie disciples went to war, snatched a blazing iron mine from Chaoyang Sect, and killed several Chaoyang Sect disciples.
Chaoyang Sect was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately raided a Qingyan Steel vein in Tianyi Sect, and also killed several Tianyi Sect disciples.
After that, the two sides attacked each other's monks, but the scale of the conflict was not large, and it was limited to the battle with the following low-level monks during the elixir formation period.
In a battle of this level, even if both sides suffer losses, they are still very limited and completely within the tolerable range.
At the same time, the Ximen family also mobilized ten members of the Lianxu tribe and entered the Chaoyangmen main altar in an upright manner.
Naturally, this was noticed by Tianyimen Xizuo, so the border conflict that lasted for three months ended with Tianyimen's silence.
A Nascent Soul monk from Tianyi Sect stated that this was a misunderstanding. It was a former Red Maple Valley monk who took action for revenge, and the sect's senior officials had no knowledge at all.
A Nascent Soul monk from Chaoyang Gate also expressed his understanding. The two sides shook hands and made peace, thus ending the conflict.
