At the mountain gate of Chunyang Palace, Lu Yan and Lu Muyang sat opposite each other. Ever since Lu Muyang broke through the spiritual light, Lu Yan's heart fell back into his stomach.
Because Chunyang Palace really needs a successor. Just look at the Biyun Sect of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom. Just because there was almost a problem with the successor, the Biyun Sect has not been able to survive for decades.
The family was almost wiped out before, and Lu Yan didn't want Chunyang Palace to make the same mistake again.
So since Lu Muyang's breakthrough, Lu Yan had trained him as his successor and told him all the secrets of Chunyang Palace.
"Grandpa Six, you handed Chunyang Palace to me, what about you?"
"Of course I am traveling, Mu Yang, you have to remember that Lu State is too small and Nanzhou is too small. The real place of the world of immortality should be Central Continent. Among the five continents of the world of immortality, only Central Continent can give birth to monks in the ninth realm.
Do you understand?”
"In the ninth realm, I have no hope in this life."
Lu Muyang's expression was a little gloomy. It took Daogang too much time and energy to reach the Lingguang level, and it also made him understand how difficult it is to advance to the fifth level, let alone the legendary ninth level. The entire South
There is no one in the continent.
"Don't be discouraged. There are so many treasures in the world of immortality. How do you know that no treasure can allow you to break through?"
"Grandpa Six, I..."
"Listen to me, I just told you that it is the secret of Chunyang Palace. Now I will tell you about the situation around Lu State. Now Chen State has been abolished. The most prosperous place in the north of Chen State has been taken by our Chunyang Palace.
Yes, Chen Anzhi from Chen Qing Valley is quite courageous, even more powerful than Chen Qingyang. If I leave, he may come and cry and ask Chunyang Palace to exempt them from the 500,000 Xuanjing tribute every year. Remember, don’t agree.
.
The Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the battle with the beast tide. Yun Shaoyang has probably just recovered from his injuries. He doesn't have much advantage over you. Don't be afraid of him. You must lock up the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom and not allow him to expand. If I
After breaking through the Divine Void Stage, he will be the first to destroy the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom after returning. Yun Shaoyang's potential is too terrifying."
"I understand, Grandpa Six, as for Lu State, there are several states and counties that are not very obedient."
"You must remember one key point within the Lu Kingdom, that is, fight without defeat. Take Tianyun State as an example. Although they are developing very fast now, as long as there are no spiritual monks, everything is empty. Even now
It's useless to go out, you and I will attack a newly broken spiritual light together, and it will be easy to kill them.
So don't worry about him and let him develop. Every year, two hundred thousand mysterious crystals will be extracted from their bodies. If things go on like this, it will be an incalculable wealth. You must remember that there is no use in conspiracy in the world of immortality. Only strength can
is the only one.
No matter how powerful Tianyun State is, they will only make wedding clothes for us. After I break through the gods, they will have to work hard for us with an order. When the time comes to attack Tianyun Kingdom, they will be the best cannon fodder. If their strength is too weak
But it’s not beautiful. It’s our own people who will be the ones to lead the battle, understand?”
"I know that we don't have to be afraid of Tianyun State's expansion. As long as we maintain our advantage over them, the stronger they are, the more useful they will be to us. Then we can just find excuses to harvest them."
"Children can be taught, yes. As long as we remember this, we will be invincible. Now that Chunyang Palace has sufficient financial resources and a large number of mortals, enough monks can be produced. All you have to do is to ensure that Lu Guoda
The stable environment allows those talented monks to practice with peace of mind."
"Yes, Grandpa Six, I understand."
Lu Muyang nodded and said, in the past he was just an elder of Chunyang Palace. Although he had a lot of management experience, he never looked at things from an overall perspective. Now that he is starting to feel it, it feels very wonderful.
·········
"I don't know much about Lu Muyang. He is about twenty years older than me. He is no longer a monk in the same batch. He is a core disciple trained by the Lu family. His cultivation speed was very fast before Daogang.
When I was in Daogang, I stayed for a very long time."
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Patriarch Lu is less than 600 years old now. His cultivation level should be at the eighth or ninth level of aura, not more than tenth level at most. What do you think he will do?"
"Headmaster Lin, we are all our own people here, please tell us your analysis."
"To attack Shenxu, there is not a single Shenxu monk in the dozen or so countries around Lu State. I think he will hand over the sect to Lu Muyang to take charge, while he will find a way to attack the Shenxu stage."
"Why do you say that?"
"There is no monk who doesn't want to gain stronger power and longevity. Lu Yan didn't do this before. It was to guard the sect, but now that someone is guarding it, he naturally wants to break away from the mundane affairs of the sect, and the financial resources of Chunyang Palace are not the same as those of the sect.
Compared to the previous comparison, the beast tide has increased too much. I received news that Tiannan Prefecture and Baiyan Prefecture also send Xuanjing to Chunyang Palace every year."
"I understand Tiannan Prefecture. After all, they bear the pressure of our Tianyun Prefecture and are afraid that we will annex them. But is Baiyan Prefecture so short-sighted?"
"Baiyan Prefecture suffered heavy losses in the beast tide, and they had internal disagreements. The status of the overlord sect in Baiyan Prefecture was not guaranteed and it was no longer able to rule Baiyan Prefecture. However, the overlord sect also had great interests, so they must have Chunyang
The palace rectified their names, and their Daogang monks probably don’t have much longevity left, so this righteousness is very important.”
"It's so stupid that it harms the interests of a state for the sake of the interests of one family. This kind of sect is really short-sighted. Once the money starts to be given away, it can't be stopped. Even if it is thirty to fifty thousand Xuanjing a year, it will still be worth tens of hundreds of years."
A terrible sum.”
"Bai Yanzhou doesn't care, what I want to say is that the financial resources of Chunyang Palace are already very strong, enough to support Lu Yan's needs to go to Zhongzhou. With the power of the entire sect to support one person, Lu Yan is likely to buy some valuable treasure in Zhongzhou.
If we really break through the Shenxu Stage, it will be a disaster for our Tianyun State."
"Headmaster Lin, I don't understand. What does Patriarch Lu's breakthrough into the Divine Void have to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter. The current situation in Lu State is that the states have great autonomy, which is equivalent to the princes among mortals. Once the strength of Chunyang Palace increases to the point where it can carry out a war to destroy the country, it will be the time for us to become cannon fodder. Our front
He goes to charge into the battle and lose both sides with the enemy. Chunyang Palace is behind to take advantage. When the time comes, he will not only seize the territory of other countries, but the territory of us people will also be taken away by them and rewarded to the forces close to Chunyang Palace.
In this way, Chunyang Palace can completely control a large area, and maybe it can surpass the Song Dynasty and become the third largest in Southern Continent."
"this····"
"Master Lin, don't scare them. Even if this kind of thing is true, it will take a long time. At least it won't happen within a hundred years. Who knows in a hundred years. And I have been to Central Continent. Don't think that Central Continent is safe. You will die in Central Continent."
A few spiritual light monks are normal, and monks in the sixth and seventh realms often hear people say that some people have died, what if they died along the way?"
"Haha, then just beg God to let him die."
Lin Xiao laughed loudly, if Lu Yan really died in Zhongzhou, it would be easy to handle, and just Lu Muyang would not be a concern at all.
Everyone was chatting and laughing all the way, and soon arrived in Jingzhou. Jingzhou has not suffered a major disaster in hundreds of years. There are more mortals than the last time. There are densely populated villages and towns everywhere, and there are also many big cities of mortals.
This reminded Lin Xiao of the mortals under Tiansheng Sect. After years of hard work, the number of mortals under Tiansheng Sect finally reached two million. Mortals alone can provide nearly 200 people to Tiansheng Sect every three years.
Disciples, plus the descendants of Tiansheng Sect disciples, there will be 2,780 people starting every three years.
Of course, in three years, more than a hundred monks from the Tiansheng Sect died in battle, failed to achieve breakthroughs, and other reasons. The number of monks that really increased was not that many. This was still a peaceful period. Once a war broke out,
, maybe hundreds of people will die in a few days.
After arriving in Yujing City, everyone inevitably had to do some shopping, and Lin Xiao was no exception. He frequently went in and out of major shops to purchase some resources that Tiansheng Sect did not have. Then he also met with the webmaster of Ye Xiao's station in Yujing City.
"Master, there is a piece of information from our insider in Chunyang Palace, which is related to Lu Muyang. It may be of use to me."
"Oh, what's going on?"
"The reason why Lu Muyang was able to make a breakthrough was because Chunyang Palace spent millions of Xuanjing to buy a treasure from Central Continent. This treasure was bought in the name of the sect. There should be disciples of the sect using their merit points.
In exchange, in addition to Lu Muyang, there is also Mu Dezong who meets the conditions in Chunyang Palace, and he is already at the twelfth level of Daogang.
Mu Dezong is not inferior to Lu Muyang in terms of merit and talent, and Mu Dezong is a strong general. He has made many great contributions to Chunyang Palace for hundreds of years, and has enough merit points in exchange for treasures.
But Lu Yan favored Lu Muyang, and without any discussion at the sect meeting or competition, he directly decided on Lu Muyang, causing Mu Dezong to miss an excellent opportunity.
Mu Dezong is only three to five years younger than Lu Muyang. If he does not get another treasure within twenty or thirty years, his path will be hopeless. And based on our estimate of Chunyang Palace, even if there are still treasures in Zhongzhou,
They couldn't afford the treasures anymore, so one can imagine Mu Dezong's fate.
For this reason, Mu Dezong resigned from all his posts in Chunyang Palace a year ago and became drunk. He drowned his sorrows in drinking every day. He was very degenerate and completely lost his previous heroic spirit."
"Mu Dezong, tsk tsk, Chunyang Palace is crazy, the Lu family didn't say anything?"
Lin Xiao still remembered who Mu Dezong was, and knew that he was also an upright man. The appearance of the Lu family was too ugly. Even if he wanted to favor Lu Muyang, he couldn't do it so blatantly.
"Yes, the Lu family ceded a lot of benefits to the Mu family. The Mu family accepted it, but Mu Dezong refused. Even the Lu family wanted to marry a direct female nun to Mu Dezong but was rejected. Chief, do we want to
Take action”
"No, just keep an eye on it, we don't want to stand out."
Lin Xiao refused, as it was not yet ready, and the Tiansheng Sect did not care about Dao Gang monks. If needed, they could just train them themselves.
