Chapter 656: Rich spoils, the Royal Dragon strikes!
Zhou Yang didn't bother to pay attention to what happened to the Haoyang Sect without Peng Yuanjing, a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage.
Ever since he left with the Zhou family branch of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Far West, things here had nothing to do with him, so he had no intention of paying attention to the power struggle within the "Nike Light Alliance".
As for whether the "Niguang Alliance" would become angry because of Peng Yuanjing's death and send more powerful Nascent Soul monks to the boundless sand sea to deal with him, he was not worried at all.
Not to mention that he himself will live and practice in the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent for a long time in the future, even if others are cultivating in the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea, unless he is besieged by many late-stage Nascent Soul monks, he has many trump cards in hand, so there is no need to worry.
Life is at risk.
Moreover, with the Great Light Immortal Palace watching eagerly from the side, it is unlikely that the late Nascent Soul monks of the "Backlight Alliance" would venture deep into the boundless sea of sand to search for him.
The people who come here are not strong enough and can easily come back without coming back. The people who come here are too strong and are worried about problems in their old nest. It is really difficult for the "Backlight Alliance" to avenge Peng Yuanjing.
"It's just that the mortals of the family who are left behind are probably going to be in bad luck!"
Zhou Yang sighed secretly in his heart and had nothing to do about it.
The branch of the Zhou family in the far west has been established for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of reproduction, the number of mortals with the blood of the Zhou family has reached more than 200,000.
There are so many mortals, not to mention that Zhou Yang is just a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, even a true immortal in the Tribulation Stage, it is impossible to take them with him when he migrates.
However, the unwritten rule in the world of immortality is that no matter how much hatred there is, one cannot massacre mortals belonging to the enemy force as a means of revenge. Therefore, Zhou Yang, Li Hong and other Zhou family monks have not been too worried about the survival of those Zhou family mortals before.
question.
At most, after losing the protection of the family monks, those mortals were completely reduced to ordinary civilians, and their lives became more difficult.
But now that Peng Yuanjing died in his own hands, Zhou Yang had to worry that the monks of the Haoyang Sect would anger the mortals of the Zhou family.
The monks of the Haoyang Sect would definitely not dare to massacre mortals on a large scale, but with the methods of immortal cultivators, it would be very easy to do something bad against some mortals.
"I hope those guys don't go too far, otherwise they will force me to destroy their entire Haoyang Sect in the future!"
With an evil look on his face, Zhou Yang looked back to the west, then quickly lowered his head to check the contents of the storage ring in his hand.
After Peng Yuanjing's death, he still left a lot of good things for Zhou Yang.
The best thing among them is undoubtedly the purple-red bronze mirror he used to deal with Zhou Yang. This object is called [Haoyang Treasure Mirror], and it is a sixth-level mid-grade item passed down by the founder of the Haoyang Sect.
The magic weapon is of very high quality, no less inferior to the [Thick Earth Sealing Seal] in Zhou Yang's hand.
What's even more rare is that this object is the most suitable fire attribute attack weapon for Zhou Yang to use, and it is much easier to use than the [Thick Earth Sealing Seal].
Then there is a sixth-level low-grade magic weapon [Fire Scale Shield], which is a defensive magic weapon refined using the sixth-level red fire dragon scales.
This thing was probably made by Guo Jinhong using the dragon scales of the sixth-order low-grade red fire dragon. The quality is also very good. Even if Zhou Yang can't use it himself, he will exchange it with other Nascent Soul stage monks in the future.
Can be used.
Many Nascent Soul stage monks are willing to exchange good things for defensive magic weapons like this that can protect one's body and life.
These two sixth-level magic weapons can be used by others, excluding Peng Yuanjing's natal magic weapon.
In addition to these magical artifacts, there are also many good things in Peng Yuanjing's storage ring.
One of the things that made Zhou Yang most happy was that he found three copies of [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] in Peng Yuanjing's storage ring!
With so many [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], if not all the stock in Haoyang Sect, it is certainly most of it. I didn't expect that this guy Peng Yuanjing would carry such a treasure with him.
Zhou Yang guessed that these [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] should have been refined by Peng Yuanjing over the years. After all, after Guo Jinhong's death, he was the only one in the Haoyang Sect who had the ability to quickly refine such spiritual objects.
Although he can now refine this kind of spiritual object, once he refines it, he will not be able to distract himself from other things for at least ten years, and even his daily practice will be dragged down. For him, it is really a bit difficult.
Not worth it.
Originally, he wanted to wait until he returned to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent to find Master Qingyang from the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and mix a portion of [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] for Li Hong to form a pill for, and then refine it later when he had free time.
Return your share.
Now, with these three copies of [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] in hand, he won't have to worry about this matter for at least the next two hundred years.
In addition to these three [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], there are as many as 257 high-grade spiritual stones in Peng Yuanjing's storage ring, several fine fifth-level magic weapons, and two pieces that seal the supernatural powers of Yuanying stage monks.
Disposable treasures, as well as some fifth-level spiritual talismans and fifth-level spiritual elixirs.
"It seems that the Yuanying stage monks from this sect are richer. They are both at the third level of Yuanying. The things on Shen Luoyan's back then were much worse than those of Peng Yuanjing!"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but compare it with Shen Luoyan, a Yuanying-stage monk from the Goddess Palace who also died at his hands, and finally came to this conclusion with emotion on his face.
The power of the Goddess Palace is not small, but compared with the six top sects of the "Backlight Alliance" such as the Haoyang Sect, it is a little behind.
Moreover, the real treasures of the Goddess Palace are all in the hands of the palace owner, Lou Feifeng, and Shen Luoyan will definitely be able to get much less.
It's a pity that both the Goddess Palace and the Haoyang Sect are big forces with allies and backing. Even if Zhou Yang can kill the Nascent Soul Stage monks in their sect, he doesn't dare to go to their mountain gate to confiscate their houses and destroy them.
Zhong Shao has gained many benefits.
Otherwise, based on the accumulated heritage and accumulation of these two sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, the total harvest from the house raids would be several times greater than the harvest from several Nascent Soul Stage monks.
The journey back to the Immortal Cultivation World in the Boundless Sand Sea was smooth sailing. With Zhou Yang, the Nascent Soul Stage monk, personally escorting him, even the Qi Training Stage monks were able to safely cross the [Death Sand Sea], which even the Golden Core Stage monks did not dare to do.
A forbidden area that is easy to enter.
After returning to the Rhinoceros Continent Oasis, Zhou Yang put down all the monks from the branch of the Zhou family who came from the world of immortality in the far west on the spaceship, and personally led the thousands of monks from the Zhou family who had been waiting here for a long time to work together for these bloodline members.
The Yuan tribesmen held a grand ceremony to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.
After the ceremony of recognizing the ancestor and returning to the sect was held, according to Zhou Yang's instructions, Li Hong and Zhou Tongxuan discussed how to arrange the branch monks from the world of immortality in the far west to practice in various oases of the Zhou family according to their respective situations.
Slowly integrate into the big Zhou family.
"Old Ancestor, there is something that my grandson forgot to report to you before. About a month after you went to the far west to cultivate the immortal world, the statue in the [Donglai Zhenjun Temple] on the mountain suddenly gave off a faint spiritual light, and passed by
Our investigation found that there are many cities where mortals live together and the statues in the temples on the Lingshan Mountains where there are a large number of monks all have more or less auras!"
On this day, Zhou Tongxuan, who was supposed to discuss with Li Hong about the placement of Zhou family monks, suddenly came to visit Zhou Yang and told him something that caught his attention.
"Oh, is this actually happening?"
A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes. After thinking for a while, he told Zhou Tongxuan: "Follow Ancestor and I to the Zhenjun Temple."
"Yes." Zhou Tongxuan responded respectfully, and immediately led Zhou Yang to the [Donglai Zhenjun Temple] on the mountainside of Lingxi Peak.
Arriving at the Zhenjun Temple, Zhou Yang saw the aura in Zhou Tongxuan's mouth at a glance.
I saw that on the wooden statue that he had personally placed in the middle of the temple, there was now a layer of faint white spiritual light, which added a touch of mystery and majesty to the statue.
But Zhou Yang clearly remembered that when he installed the wooden statue, there was no magic in the statue.
After looking at the statue for a long time with brilliant eyes, he moved his fingers, and finally resisted the idea of testing, turned to look at Zhou Tongxuan and asked: "Do you know what the white aura is used for? And for this
Did you find anything about the emergence of white spiritual light?"
"Looking back at my ancestors, after the white spiritual light was born, my grandson also called some resourceful people in the clan to come to the temple to study it in detail, and he also researched something and made some discoveries!"
After Zhou Tongxuan finished speaking, he carefully took a look at Zhou Yang's face. When he saw that there was no change in his face, a hint of disappointment flashed through his heart.
He knew that Zhou Yang was actually not very satisfied with being the patriarch of the Zhou family, and now he was trying to cultivate Li Hong, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
That's why he used this little trick to attract Zhou Yang's attention, trying to make Zhou Yang see that he was not useless and not as unworthy as he imagined.
It's a pity that his little tricks are obviously useless in front of a scheming person like Zhou Yang.
And he didn't dare to really hang on to Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family. He could only suppress the frustration and loss in his heart, and continued to cheer up: "Let's talk about the function of this white aura first. After our research, we found that after practicing,
If the monks in the Qi period meditate and practice next to this statue, it will be easier for them to enter meditation and practice. I don’t know if my ancestors have discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the temple is richer, gentler and gentler than the outside world."
"Are you sure it's only useful during the Qi training period?"
Zhou Yang looked at him with an unchanged expression and asked.
When Zhou Tongxuan was asked this question, he suddenly became a little unconfident. He couldn't help but murmured with hesitation: "This, this...it seems to be just like this at the moment."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but secretly shook his head.
As the leader of a clan, this kind of indecisiveness is taboo. If it were Zhou Tongxuan's father, Zhou Guangxiang, he would never doubt the results of his experiment just because of someone else's words.
However, he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead and talk about your discovery of the cause of the white aura."
"Yes, regarding the reason for the appearance of the white aura, after we investigated and compared the statues of gods everywhere that also had auras, we found that when the number of people who come to worship the statues in the temple reaches a certain level, the statues will emit this white aura.
And the more people come to worship, the stronger the white spiritual light emitted by the statue will be."
Zhou Tongxuan responded and honestly told the inside story.
After Zhou Yang heard this, he understood why the statue changed like this after he left the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality.
His heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Tongxuan and asked: "Do you know the specific number of people?"
"My grandson and the monks in the clan have done experiments and found that if it is a mortal, it will take about 10,000 people to worship to consecrate the statue. If it is immortal cultivators like us, it only takes less than a thousand people to consecrate it."
After Zhou Tongxuan said this, he couldn't help but said with a look of surprise on his face: "Furthermore, my grandson and the monks in the clan found out after experiments that if you have already worshiped in a certain temple, then you can go to another temple to worship.
It won’t help consecrating the statue in the second temple!”
"Is there still such a thing?"
A look of surprise flashed across Zhou Yang's face, his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly a look of understanding appeared.
The power of law!
If he guessed correctly, there must be some profound laws of heaven and earth involved, and perhaps this was the key to [Donglai Zhenren] asking him to build a temple for him to offer incense.
Thinking of this, his face became solemn, and he said to Zhou Tongxuan solemnly: "Okay, ancestor, I already know everything about this matter. You need to remember that you can continue to study the function of this white aura in the future, but you must not not.
Do something disrespectful to the gods, otherwise I will not punish you, even if you are an ancestor, the true king will not spare you either!"
After speaking, he paused and continued to give instructions: "Also, since this white aura will become stronger as the number of people who visit the temple increases, and it will be beneficial to the monks' practice, in the future you can also appropriately organize those who have never visited the temple.
The mortals of the family go to temples on various spiritual mountains to worship in order to strengthen the aura of the statues in the temples."
Zhou Tongxuan heard the words and immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, my grandson will definitely remember the instructions of his ancestors and spread your dharma to the whole clan!"
Then he wisely exited the Zhenjun Temple, leaving Zhou Yang alone in the temple looking at the statue in a daze.
"Is there really the power of incense in this world, and are there really gods?"
Zhou Yang looked at the white aura on the statue with a dejected expression, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he heard that [Master Donglai] asked him to agree to build a temple for him to offer incense, Zhou Yang had made speculations in this regard, guessing that the other party wanted to use this method to collect the incense and faith of mortals and monks.
force.
Of course, the statement about the power of faith in incense was a term he came up with based on his previous life knowledge. There is no such statement in this world, or the "Linghuan World".
But even if the words are different, the essence is the same.
This made Zhou Yang feel confused.
Because if there really are "immortals" in this world who feed on the power of faith in incense, it is impossible for a world as big as "Linghuan World" with so many monks and mortals to be let go and not used by those "immortals".
But the fact is that he has traveled to several immortal worlds, and although he has found that many mortal cities have temples enshrining various statues of gods imagined by mortals, he has not found anything like the Donglai Zhenjun Temple.
.
Obviously those are real clay wood sculptures and there is nothing extraordinary about them.
"In other words, to be a god, you also need qualifications, and the realm of returning to the void is the minimum qualification?"
Zhou Yang's eyes moved, as if he understood something, and he whispered to himself what he had guessed.
But this still doesn't explain why no other "immortal" temples have been erected in the "Linghuan Realm".
If there really are "immortals", [Donglai Zhenren] will definitely not be the first "immortal", and "Linghuan World" is not an undeveloped primitive world. Instead, it existed tens of thousands of years ago.
The Immortals from Beyond the Heavens come here to teach the Dharma, and they are also registered in the Real Immortal Realm.
Why don't those "gods" who know the existence of the "Linghuan Realm" build temples here to enjoy the incense of this world?
"Unless, unless they can't build a temple here to receive incense, and the more power of incense faith they absorb, the better!"
Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes and seemed to have grasped the context of this and gained insight into the true situation of some "gods".
If the truth is what he thinks, then it all makes sense.
Because monks who were not born in the "Linghuan Realm" cannot build a temple here to receive incense, of course those "gods" will not waste their energy building a temple here to preach.
And because the "Linghuan Realm" is only a medium world and cannot accommodate powers beyond the seventh level, even if those "celestial beings" who teach the method know the method of becoming "gods", there is no need to pass it on to the "Linghuan Realm" monks.
At the same time, because the power of incense belief is not always better, [Donglai Zhenren] did not let Zhou Yang help him build temples in the "Linghuan Realm" to offer incense, but only asked him to do so within the Zhou family.
"In this case, wouldn't Master Donglai become the first immortal in the history of this world?"
When Zhou Yang thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for [Master Donglai] in his heart.
This is the real first person in history!
Being able to worship such a being as his teacher, even if he may not be able to see his true form in this life, makes Zhou Yang feel that he is not humiliated.
Regarding the speculation about "immortals", Zhou Yang did not tell anyone because the level involved was too high. Even if others knew about it, it would be of no use. Even he himself would only gain some knowledge.
For the next six months, Zhou Yang continued to sit at Lingxi Peak, giving one lecture every ten days and one lecture every month for the monks of the Zhou family. The content of the lectures included cultivation, combat, formations, weapon refining, talisman making, elixir refining, etc.
aspect.
In order to be kind to others, this kind of sermon is even open to monks from families that are vassalized by the Zhou family. As long as the monks can come to Lingxi Peak in time to listen to the sermon, they can climb the mountain to listen to the sermon.
This kind of thing that monks in the Nascent Soul stage preached in person has never happened in the boundless sand sea cultivation world for thousands of years. However, all the monks who heard the news rushed to Lingxi Peak as quickly as possible to listen to the lecture.
Among them, Ma Baoshan of Huangshamen even personally carried more than 200 foundation-building monks from his sect in a large building boat to Lingxi Peak to listen to the sermon.
The sermons that lasted for half a year allowed many monks who listened to the sermons to make breakthroughs in various aspects, and tens of thousands of people benefited from it.
Zhou Yang's move also greatly eliminated the hostility of many monks towards the Zhou family's forced unification of the boundless sand sea cultivation world, allowing them to see another benefit of submitting to the Zhou family's rule.
And then a large auction was held on Lingxi Peak, where various rare spiritual objects including [Purple Heart Chalcedony] were directly auctioned, which made most people's dissatisfaction with the Zhou family dissipate.
If the Zhou family can provide them with a path to a higher spiritual realm, then what if they submit to the Zhou family?
In addition, at this big auction, the Zhou family also publicly auctioned another thing that made the monks of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Realm extremely excited, that is, tickets to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Realm.
There are not many of these tickets, and the cultivation level requirement for bidders has reached the Zifu stage. It can be said that they are specially prepared for those Zifu stage monks outside the two major forces of the Zhou family and Huang Shamen.
In addition to the two major forces of Zhou Family and Huang Shamen, the total number of other cultivating families and casual cultivators in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal World is more than 200,000. Even without the help of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], there are always risks among these people.
Some lucky people will successfully open up Zi Mansion,
For these people, Zhou Yang adopted the same approach as Huang Shamen before. If you want to leave the Boundless Sand Sea to practice immortality, you must sign the [Netherworld Blood Contract] and not disclose the situation of the Boundless Sand Sea to the immortal world to the Liuyunzhou monks.
I know, but Zhou Yang is much more generous than Huang Shamen, so they are not prohibited from revealing their experiences in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent to others after they return.
Of course, if you want to come back, you have to buy a return ticket from the Zhou family.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of entry and exit tickets can only be bought and sold by the Zhou family, and Huangshamen, who has become a vassal of the Zhou family, is prohibited from doing so.
After preaching for half a year, Zhou Yang personally took some of the Zhou family's elite monks back to the Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortality.
The space inside the [Piaomiao Cloud Car] is not small. If you squeeze it in, it will not be a problem to accommodate fifty or sixty people. Therefore, there are fifty-three monks from the Zhou family who followed Zhou Yang to the immortal world of Liuyun Continent this time.
Then there were three Zifuqi monks who bought "tickets" at the big auction and accompanied them.
As for why the [Piaomiao Cloud Vehicle] with a small internal space is used to carry people instead of the fifth-level flying building ship used to return from the world of cultivation in the far west, it is of course for safety reasons.
First of all, the [Piaomiao Cloud Car] is a sixth-level flying magic weapon. Flying in the Gangfeng layer will not cause any damage to the magic weapon, and even if it is intercepted by the sixth-level demon king in the Duanyun Mountains, there is still a chance to defeat it with its speed.
throw away.
Secondly, the [Piaomiao Cloud Car] itself has strong defense capabilities and concealment capabilities. Zhou Yang hides people in it. Even if it is suddenly attacked by the sixth-level demon king, it will not be directly destroyed like the fifth-level flying building ship. What's more,
The Demon King will not be able to discover that there are a large number of low-level monks hidden inside.
However, this was Zhou Yang's first time to "smuggle" people across the Duanyun Mountains on a large scale. He was still quite concerned and nervous about this matter. He was extremely cautious along the way, much more cautious than when he came here.
On this day, Zhou Yang, who had almost crossed more than half of the Duanyun Mountains, was carefully letting go of his consciousness to sense the surrounding environment as he had done in the previous days. Suddenly, his face changed, and he couldn't help but stop the speeding car, causing the speeding car to stop in the strong wind.
.
Then he waved his hand and handed over a page of white jade book that shone with aura.
This white jade book is exactly the "Fairy Jade Book" magic weapon he got from the Yuqing Taoist Sect when he first arrived at Chongxuan Mountain in his early years.
This magical instrument can communicate with the monks in the Yuqing Taoist Sect who hold the original body of the "Fairy Jade Book" across a distance of thousands of miles.
Now the jade book is glowing with aura, and the light golden font on the w appears. It is the Yuqing Dao Sect monk holding the original body of the "Immortal Jade Book" who is sending him a message.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, have you provoked any powerful enemies outside? A few days ago, a strange monk suddenly asked about your origin and place of practice. He seemed to have already known about your successful birth!"
Zhou Yang held the jade book in his hand, glanced at it, and read the contents of the summons.
When he saw these contents, his face suddenly sank, and he immediately thought of the Yulong family.
In the immortal world of Liuyunzhou, there are actually not many monks who know that he has successfully conferred a baby. They are all people who have friendship with him, so of course they don't know where he is practicing.
Those monks who knew that he had succeeded in conceiving a baby, but did not know where his cultivation place was, undoubtedly only came from the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent, and they could only be members of the Yulong family.
"Okay, okay, what a dragon-controlling family, how dare you chase them to the immortal world of Liuyun Continent!"
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled angrily. He immediately held a jade book and started communicating with the Yuqing Dao Sect monk.
