Immortal Palace Longevity

The Yuanyang Sect’s territory increased dramatically after the annexation of the Hehuan Sect and Piaoxue Pavilion.

Compared to the original, it almost tripled!

As one of the few sects that stood out in the chaos after the human-demon war.

The prestige of the Yuanyang Sect increased significantly, and its reputation spread throughout the Seven Nations Alliance and even the Tiannan Xiuxian World.

After destroying two major sects in succession and completely overwhelming the other two major sects, the Xiuxian World was in an uproar when the news came out.

In the eyes of all cultivators, it was basically just a matter of time for the Yuanyang Sect to unify half of the former Yan Kingdom.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that, as Yuanying Zhenjun, Zihong Zhenjun and Qingxu Laodao were no match for Liu Yu.

The territory increased three times, Cangyue Valley and Qingxu Sect were not a threat. In the eyes of some cultivators, the Yuanyang Sect had a tendency to sweep the former Yan Kingdom.

After all, the other half of the Yan Kingdom was still a few major sects that checked and balanced each other.

If Yuanyang Sect rests for a while and then conquers Qingxu Sect and Cangyue Valley, it will have a great advantage in facing the other half of the major forces of Yan State!

Regardless of the outside world's opinions, after the sudden increase in territory, Yuanyang Sect encountered many problems.

The biggest problem is "vast land and sparse population".

Although the territory is large enough and there are enough resource points, there are not enough disciples to garrison.

Based on the current situation, Yuanyang Sect can only compromise helplessly and cooperate with local immortal cultivation forces through the resolution of a group of Jindan elders.

Share some benefits in exchange for stable rule.

In this case, the territory suddenly increased a lot, and Yuanyang Sect's low-level disciples seemed insufficient.

Originally about 20,000, after a series of losses in the war, only about 15,000 were left.

Even if all were sent to guard the resource points, it would still not be enough.

For this reason, after annexing Hehuan Gate and Piaoxue Pavilion, Liu Yu did not continue to attack.

On the one hand, he was worried that if he took too big a step, he would attract the fear of other Yuanying forces and even the "Heavenly Thunder Palace".

On the other hand, the sect's cultivators were already stretched to the limit in guarding such a large territory.

If he did not expand his recruitment, the foundation of his rule would not be stable, and many strange problems would easily arise at that time.

So under his instruction, when many cultivators speculated that Yuanyang Sect was going to unify half of the original Yan Kingdom, Yuanyang Sect suddenly stopped its expansion.

While expanding its recruitment of disciples, it consolidated its existing territory and consolidated its ruling foundation.

Under the intimidation of Liu Yu, realizing the huge gap in their strength, True Lord Zihong sent an envoy to visit and expressed his willingness to surrender.

And Qingxu Sect directly bowed its head and was willing to offer a large amount of cultivation resources every ten years, just like the cultivation forces under its rule.

He tried to please Yuanyang Sect in exchange for the continuation of the sect's inheritance.

But there was a grudge after all, and "Old Demon Qingyang" always avenged his grudges.

Therefore, after escaping from that battle, Taoist Qingxu has been very secretive about his whereabouts, and it is suspected that he is not in the Qingxu Sect at all.

Instead, he hides outside and commands his disciples from afar.

Even though Yuanyang Sect accepted the tribute and expressed its willingness to accept the submission of Qingxu Sect, this person has not appeared for a long time.

Time passed unknowingly.

After "sending a letter to all directions" to easily destroy Piaoxue Pavilion, Liu Yu made proper arrangements to leave some elites behind, and then he set off to return to the sect.

Then he invited Huangmei Zhenjun to move the fourth-level spiritual veins of Hehuan Sect and the fourth-level spiritual veins of Piaoxue Pavilion one after another.

After integrating the two fourth-level spiritual veins, the grade of Tongtian Peak's spiritual veins skyrocketed, barely crossing the boundary between the fourth-level middle and upper grades.

The cultivation environment of Liu Yu and a group of sect disciples immediately improved a lot.

When the Tongtian Peak spiritual vein was upgraded, five years had passed since the start of the war that affected the entire Yan State.

And Liu Yu was also 388 years old.

The territory of rule suddenly expanded, and Yuanyang Sect had influence and resources.

But the primary problem was that there were not enough disciples to garrison the resource points, so they had to rely on some local forces.

Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Yuanyang Sect opened its gates and announced that it would recruit new disciples in advance.

Under the arrangement of a group of Jindan elders, one by one, the foundation-building deacons went to all directions to find people with spiritual roots.

Each person found had a certain reward.

As the victor, Yuanyang Sect naturally spent money to seize a large amount of immortal cultivation resources from the war.

As long as the task can be completed in excess, the generous rewards will definitely attract the foundation-building cultivators and greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the disciples.

In addition, with the reputation of "Qingyang Zhenjun", Yuanyang Sect is in the limelight in the nearby immortal cultivation world, and its influence is incomparable to the past.

In any case, joining a powerful sect and having a powerful backer is only good for most cultivators.

Therefore, as soon as the news spread, regardless of the old land of Yuan State or the newly occupied territory, all the major immortal cultivation families sent their children with spiritual roots.

In the hope that there would be a care in Yuanyang Sect, so that the family could continue to prosper.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the number of inner and outer disciples of Yuanyang Sect increased significantly.

In just one round of expansion, the number increased from about 15,000 to about 25,000.

This is without relaxing the requirements and strict screening.

Otherwise, with the vast territory and huge population base today, even if there are only a few people with spiritual roots, it would not be a problem to easily reach 30,000.

It is said that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. The Yuanyang Sect destroyed two factions in one battle, which made many casual cultivators see a bright future.

Many self-important casual cultivators traveled thousands of miles to join Yuanyang Sect, or become guest officials.

However, the composition of casual cultivators is complex, and it is almost impossible for them to be loyal to the sect, so only a few can join the sect.

Most of them were directly eliminated, leaving with high hopes and returning with disappointment.

A small number of them became guest officials, although they were not formal disciples of Yuanyang Sect, but they were barely connected.

Only a very small number of casual cultivators with extremely excellent spiritual roots or those with a skill can successfully join Yuanyang Sect.

For example, those with double spiritual roots, high affinity with spiritual energy, and young age.

Another example is alchemists, weapon refiners, formation masters, etc.

It can be foreseen that if new disciples are recruited every five to ten years, as long as this continues for several times, the number of Qi Refining disciples will increase significantly.

At this time, the sect is rich in resources for cultivating immortals. As long as there are more Qi Refining disciples, some of them with good luck, character, and qualifications will become foundation building deacons or Jindan elders in the next few decades.

…

Yuan Kingdom.

The mountain gate of Yuanyang Sect.

At the foot of Tongtian Peak, Zhenyang Dojo.

After integrating multiple fourth-order spiritual veins, the spiritual veins of Tongtian Peak have now reached the fourth-order upper grade, and the concentration of spiritual energy has increased significantly.

Even the caves at the foot of the mountain have a richer spiritual energy than most second-order spiritual veins, and some can even approach the third-order spiritual veins.

So at this time, the caves of Tongtian Peak are already very popular.

The vast majority of new foundation builders will choose this place when allocating caves, rather than choosing a small spiritual mountain to open a cave.

After all, it is "at the foot of the emperor", what if one day I can see the holy face and be promoted by the ancestor?

But at this time, the Zhenyang Dojo is crowded with people, all wearing standard sect uniforms.

The white-clothed inner gate is in the front, the gray-clothed outer gate is in the back, and the foundation-building deacon is at the front of the queue.

As for the Golden Core Elder, he stood on the central high platform and presided over the ceremony.

Looking around, the huge dojo was silent at this time.

All the monks looked solemn and respectful, watching the ceremony intently.

As long as the sect's inheritance continues, there will be disciples every year and festival, preparing all kinds of sacrificial blood and food to sacrifice to the ancestors whose souls have returned to the void.

Keep the incense burning continuously to comfort the souls of the ancestors of all generations. Everything is fine in the sect now.

In addition, when extremely important events occur, special sacrifices will be made.

For example, halfway through the human-demon war, before the ancestor Tianfeng officially issued the relocation order, the sect held a huge sacrificial activity.

The ceremony was presided over by Li Changfeng, who has passed away.

It is said that the younger generation of disciples cannot lose the foundation laid by the ancestors with great difficulty, and hope to obtain the blessings of the ancestors so that everything will go smoothly.

It is difficult to leave the homeland. According to records, the atmosphere at that time was extremely heavy.

The human-demon war was in full swing, and the territory of the relocated mountain gate was reduced a lot, and most of the resource points were directly abandoned.

At that time, everyone was confused, wondering whether the sect would decline.

Although I am in a low position, I dare not forget my worries for the country!

After a hundred or two hundred years, the atmosphere was still heavy.

However, at this time, all the disciples of the sect held their heads high, their eyes were full of energy, and they no longer had any doubts about the future of the sect.

I believe that under the leadership of "Ancestor Qingyang", the sect will become stronger and stronger.

First destroy Hehuan, then attack Piaoxue, and it is just around the corner to swallow up half of Yan State, and it is not impossible for him to sweep across the entire Yan State one day.

In the vision of some disciples, starting with the destruction of Hehuan Sect, the sect will become stronger and stronger step by step.

In the end, unify the entire Yan State and reach a status equivalent to the "Rushi Temple" of Qi State.

Looking at the entire Tiannan, it is of great importance!

And this ceremony is to comfort the ancestors of the sect who have returned to the void, that the enemy "Hehuan Sect" has been destroyed, so that they don't have to worry about it, and the sect is getting better and better.

By the way, report the great achievements of the current ancestor.

"Dong~"

"Dong~"

"Dong~~!"

The ancient and heavy bell sound suddenly rang in the ears of all disciples and echoed among the vast mountains of the sect.

"In the spring of the 9221st year of the Yuanyang calendar, the sect mobilized all its troops to attack the Lin Kingdom, opening the prelude to the demise of the Hehuan Sect."

"."

"Summer of the 9221st year of the Yuanyang calendar"

On the altar, the white-haired elder read the sacrificial words meticulously.

He is a person of the same era as the "three elders".

Although his cultivation prestige is not as good as Yan Kai's at this time, his qualifications are old enough to be the most suitable host of the ceremony.

As the sacrificial texts were read out one by one, the white-haired host elder's face also showed a bit of solemnity.

It is an honor!

If the long sacrificial text is read in a book, it will probably be very boring.

But when the elders read it out at this time, in line with the atmosphere of the festival, it inexplicably made many disciples excited.

The sound of the bells in their ears was melodious, and many disciples felt the same way.

It was as if they had witnessed history with their own eyes, walked into the legend and became a myth!

"Zizi~"

As the sacrificial speech came to an end, the presiding elder threw the pages of sacrificial text into the brazier and burned them into ashes.

After the ceremony, he took out several more pages of sacrificial text.

In front of all the disciples, he reported the achievements of the contemporary ancestors to the ancestors of the past generations.

"Learn literature and history at a young age, and master military strategies at an old age!"

"The young knight has strange hair, and the steps of a dragon and a tiger!"

"Discussing military affairs and swords, he has learned martial arts classics!"

"Get the essence of Sun Wu and Bai Qi, and see the marrow of military strategies!"

"When the star of Mars is fading, we know that Hehuan's fortune has run out."

"First, kill the old demon Hehuan. In the spring of the 9221st year of the Yuanyang calendar, destroy the Hehuan Sect in one battle."

"Then destroy the two immortals Fengxue. In the summer of the 9221st year of the Yuanyang calendar, send troops to swallow up the Piaoxue Pavilion."

"."

The old and majestic voice of the presiding elder spread to every corner of the Taoist temple slowly.

Of course, some necessary embellishments are indispensable.

For example, Liu Yu's Qi Refining Realm was ordinary from beginning to end, but at this time, he was outstanding in the sacrificial text, and was simply "born sacred".

Listening to the great achievements of the ancestor, most of the disciples and elders knew that there were some embellishments in it, but they still stood in awe.

After all, the achievements could not be faked at all.

In the past few years, they have truly felt the series of benefits brought by the strength of the sect.

When walking in the world of immortal cultivation, as long as you report your identity as a disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, most cultivators will look up to you and dare not neglect you at all.

This is the benefit of a strong sect.

Take the monthly salary of outer disciples for example. After the relocation of the mountain gate, the spiritual stones that could be received each month had dropped from five to three.

As soon as the Qingyang Patriarch took charge of the sect, it immediately returned to four.

Now that the "Hehuan Sect" has been destroyed and the "Piaoxue Pavilion" has been swallowed up, countless battles have been won.

The monthly salary that outer disciples can receive has increased from the original four spiritual stones to the current eight.

You should know that a low-grade magic weapon is usually sold for one hundred spiritual stones, and a medium-grade magic weapon is usually only two hundred spiritual stones.

This means that as long as they save money for one or two years, even ordinary outer disciples can purchase a medium-grade magic weapon.

A high-grade magic weapon is no longer a luxury!

The monthly salary and annual salary of inner disciples and foundation-building deacons are also increased in accordance with the corresponding proportion.

It can be foreseen that with the substantial increase in resources obtained, the cultivation and improvement speed of all disciples of Yuanyang Sect will be much faster.

In the end, the gap between them and ordinary Yuanying Sects widened.

It was because of the leadership of the ancestor that the sect became powerful, and all the disciples clearly felt the benefits brought by the powerful sect.

What's more amazing is that the ancestor is less than 400 years old!

And the Yuanying cultivator can live up to 1,600 years, which can protect the sect for 1,200 years.

They believe that during this long period of time, the sect will reach an unprecedented peak under the leadership of the Qingyang ancestor!

Now, the first step has been taken!

"Salute!"

As the last paragraph of the sacrifice ended, the presiding elder threw the sacrifice into the brazier and shouted in a deep voice.

As he said that, he bowed deeply to the tablets of the ancestors of all generations.

The next moment, in the silent and solemn atmosphere, more than 20,000 new and old disciples of the Zhenyang Dojo bowed deeply in the direction of the altar at the same time.

The scene was breathtaking, and the atmosphere of a great sect was overwhelming.

This ceremony was of great significance, so except for those disciples who really couldn't leave, most of the disciples and elders rushed back to the sect to participate.
