Mind Cultivation Record

When Xiao Mian was in seclusion in Duzun Mansion, the world was at peace and the five states were at peace.

However, an undetectable undercurrent has already swept through the entire cultivation world.

The center of the fluctuation is Tiandu City—more precisely, Dutian Peak!

As early as when Xiao Mian was lost in Lingxu, there were some changes in the Sanqing Temple located in the secret realm of Tianwaitian at the top of Dutian Peak.

It was a melodious sound of bells, ethereal, yet real.

The sound of the bells spread from the outer sky, from top to bottom, sweeping across the entire Dutian Peak and the Nine Holy Lands, almost enveloped by the sound of the bells.

From this day on, the Nine Holy Lands gradually faded out of the public eye.

As if it was agreed upon, it is difficult to see a disciple of the Holy Land in the world of cultivation, let alone a successor of the Holy Land who is more popular...

Thinking of the catastrophe of the spiritual war that is weighing on the spiritual world, people with a thoughtful mind realize: I am afraid that a catastrophe is coming.

The Nine Holy Lands have already begun to prepare for a rainy day!

The news spread like wildfire.

The entire cultivation world is quite gloomy and gloomy.

In the blink of an eye, twelve years passed quietly...

After twelve years of baptism, most people have forgotten the events of the year. Even the spiritual war catastrophe seems to have become numb because no one mentions it anymore.

However, what is supposed to come will eventually come!

On New Year's Eve of this year, along with the arrival of the new year, a melodious bell spread throughout the entire spiritual world-five states, four seas, everywhere!

At first, many people didn't take it seriously.

But the next day - the first day of the first lunar month of the new year - Sanqing Temple, the leader of the Nine Holy Lands - the leader in the world of spiritual practice, made public a piece of news.

Through the spiritual vision in Tiandu City, Sanqing Temple appeared in front of the world.

The warning bell rings, and the palace of the Lord opens; the spiritual war is catastrophic, and the world ceases its troops!

Sixteen simple words make the world feel sad and happy...

Sadly, the spiritual war, the curse that has been weighing on the cultivation world, has finally arrived; happily, Duzun Mansion has finally ushered in its opening day!

Of course, not everyone can enter a blessed place like Duzun Mansion!

Almost immediately after Sanqing Temple issued this announcement, all forces in the world started to move together, and the most eye-catching among them were the Heavenly Lords!

Celestial beings from all sides, including Wan Zongsheng, got up one after another and rushed to Tiandu.

This is customary and humane.

After all, spiritual warfare is the biggest disaster in this cultivation world.

In order to show their concern, after Sanqing Temple announced the spiritual war information, all the heavenly beings must rush to Tiandu City as soon as possible to discuss the big plan.

Another important matter is to decide who will enter the Duzun Mansion.

Although the spiritual war has sounded the alarm, before that, after all, there is Duzun Mansion, and Duzun Mansion is the most urgent priority!

Almost in one day, powerful people from all over the world gathered in Tiandu City.

The battle this time was even grander than when the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference was held.

In this world of cultivation, almost all the most powerful people who have become Tianzun gather together - not only to fight spiritual catastrophe, but also to fight for the blessed land of Duzun Mansion!

The only exception may be Qin Jun Tianzun—Qin Tianfeng!

All the Heavenly Lords moved to Tianfeng, but Qin Tianfeng was nowhere to be seen.

Others just paid it back, but Wan Zongsheng's heart tightened for no reason...

The spiritual war is catastrophic, and the world has ceased its troops.

Although this is a covenant that has been passed down through the ages in the spiritual world, if someone turns a deaf ear to it, there is nothing that can be done as long as there is no leakage.

Now, Wan Zongsheng only hopes that the backup force he left behind can be of some use.

But if Qin Tianfeng really dares to risk the disapproval of the world, take advantage of the opportunity, and enter Nanyue Prefecture, it is impossible to say that he will only have to visit Qin County on his way home...

Of course, that’s a story later!

Wan Zongsheng’s trip is to get more places for Nanyue Prefecture!

Duzun Mansion, Wan Zongsheng also entered it back then.

Not only Wan Zongsheng, the four sworn brothers all entered the Duzun Mansion back then; hundreds of years later, although the four of them went their separate ways, they all became Tianzun!

Among them, there is naturally the cause and effect of the four of them.

But on their path of spiritual practice, Duzun Mansion played an important role.

It is precisely because of his personal experience that Wan Zongsheng has a better understanding of the significance of Duzun Mansion.

With one more quota, Nanyue State will have more hope...

For this reason, Wan Zongsheng revisited his hometown after being expelled from Zhongzhou hundreds of years ago.

Let's talk about a group of heavenly beings being invited to Tianwaitian. In the Sanqing Temple, which is known as a holy place for spiritual practice, the heavenly beings had a heated discussion about spiritual warfare and Duzun Mansion.

It's too early to talk about the spiritual war; Duzun Mansion is just around the corner.

There is a limit to the number of people who can enter the Duzun Mansion. It is no wonder that these old gods in the eyes of ordinary people would fight for a spot.

The whole process can be described as twists and turns!

Let’s start with Duzun Mansion...

The original purpose of Duzun's establishment of Duzun Mansion was to fight against spiritual warfare.

Spiritual war does not happen overnight, but lasts for a long time - in spiritual war, the spiritual world is in a passive position of being beaten. They can only push back the intruders in the spiritual world, but it is impossible to completely end the spiritual war. If they push back once, they can still fight back. once.

Therefore, spiritual warfare is a protracted war!

We must not only ensure this spiritual war, but also ensure the next spiritual war.

For this reason, Duzun established a three-level realm in Duzun's mansion.

The foundation building stage, golden elixir stage and Nascent Soul stage are all different.

Nascent Soul monks, after being trained by Duzun Mansion, can stand alone in spiritual warfare.

Even if the golden elixir cultivator cannot successfully condense the infant in the Duzun Mansion, he can still accumulate experience, strengthen his foundation, and become a pillar of talent after the spiritual war is over.

Foundation-building monks are strategic reserves for the next spiritual war.

For example, many of the Tianzuns who exist today were mostly foundation-building monks when the Duzun Mansion was opened before the last spiritual war.

Now, he has become the Optimus Prime against the spiritual war!

The most intense competition among various forces is for the spot of Nascent Soul.

The Golden Elixir quota is still in high demand; the Foundation Establishment quota, but no one cares about it - the next spiritual battle is too far away after all...

Besides, the quota for Nascent Soul is a hundred people at most.

This was a rule set by Duzun back then, in order to protect Duzun Mansion.

Once the number of monks entering Duzun Mansion is too large, the entire Duzun Mansion will be overwhelmed, resulting in an endless cycle of depleting the land and catching fish.

In order to ensure the longevity of Duzun Mansion, Duzun had foresight.

The quota for Nascent Soul is up to a hundred people; the quota for Golden Elixir is up to a thousand people.

As for the quota for the foundation building period, there are as many as 10,000 people...

For the quota of one hundred Nascent Souls, all the heavenly beings refused to give in to each other.

According to the usual practice, Tianducheng always occupies the majority of the places in Duzun Mansion. The last time the candidates who entered Duzun Mansion were selected, Tianducheng accounted for half of them.

Soochow Prefecture accounts for most of the remaining half of the quota.

The remaining places are divided equally between Western Shu Prefecture and Northern Wei Prefecture.

In the huge Nanyue Prefecture, there was only one person in the Duzun Mansion last time.

That is the master of Ancestor Qingqiu and Ancestor Danchen—the last local Heavenly Lord in the history of South Vietnamese cultivation—Danqing Sword Master!

When they arrived at Duzun Mansion and Tiandu City, they turned a blind eye to Nanyue State.

Because of this, Wan Zongsheng became furious.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wan Zongsheng asked for ten places—ten Nascent Soul places!

"Old man Wan! You have been in the southern barbarian land for a long time and you are crazy about poverty, right? Ten Nascent Soul quota? Fortunately you can think of it!"

The one who said this was Sword Spirit Master.

Regarding Sword Spirit Master's ill intentions, Wan Zongsheng retorted.

"What can't you think of? Not only did the old man think it out, but he also said it! Sword Spirit old man! What's going on? How about we figure it out first?"

"Hmph! How disrespectful! You and I are also dignified heavens after all, and now we are making decisions about spiritual warfare. How can we allow you to be so messy?"

But it turns out that Wan Zongsheng and Sword Spirit Master had a festival that year.

After a disagreement, the two were at war with each other.

Fortunately, everyone present is a powerful person.

"Two Taoist friends! Please be patient!" But it was the Good Fortune Child Lord who came forward to mediate: "Tao was born as a merchant and talked about business in business. Our merchants have a saying, which is to bid all the time and bargain at the bottom. Fellow Daoist Wan’s price is indeed a bit high, but it’s still a price after all. I just wonder how Fellow Daoist Sword Spirit plans to counter-offer?”

"this……"

Being so excited by Shancai Tongzun, Sword Spirit Valley couldn't answer the question for a moment.

The matter is of great importance, and he cannot decide it alone...

But at this moment, Yunhai Sword Master made a horizontal move.

"What a sky-high asking price! You want ten Nascent Soul places when you ask for it. Old Man Wan, you are too ignorant! To say the least, can Nanyue Prefecture get ten Nascent Soul Ancestors? It's not like a cat or a dog. Can enter Duzun Mansion!"

There is one prerequisite for entering Duzun Mansion, and that is - potential!

Only those with amazing potential are qualified to enter Duzun Mansion for further study.

Otherwise, it's just a waste of resources!

As soon as Yunhai Sword Lord said these words, Wan Zongsheng, who had been somewhat calm due to Shancai Tongzun's mediation, suddenly went berserk.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Good on you, Yunhai Sword Court! Good on you, Yunhai Sword Master! Come! Come! Come! Today the old man has nothing to do, but a showdown of life and death with you! Aren't you known as the third best person in the world? Swordsman? The old man knows a lot!"

As he spoke, Wan Zongsheng was full of energy and was about to explode.

This attitude of fighting tooth and nail whenever there was a disagreement calmed Sword Master Yunhai.

Wan Zongsheng was a ruthless character with no inhibitions back then. When he was rampaging through Zhongzhou, the Yunhai Sword Master had not yet achieved Nascent Soul...

How can such an old gunman allow Sword Master Yunhai to talk nonsense?

Just when Sword Master Yunhai refused to come to the stage, someone came out to smooth things over.

This person is the Supreme Elder of Vacuum Tao—Kong Konger!

"Brother! Why do you need to be acquainted with him? We brothers have also dealt with his master, so it's not good to bully the younger ones, right?" Kong Kong'er's words made Sword Master Yunhai look embarrassed - he I wish I had been born hundreds of years earlier!

In the world of spiritual practice, strength is supreme.

But when the strengths are equal, we still pay attention to seniority.

Sword Master Yunhai, regardless of his combat prowess, will suffer losses because he is half a generation later than the other Heavenly Masters present.

After all, Kong Kong'er is the supreme elder of the Vacuum Dao, and the Vacuum Dao is one of the three sub-sages. Compared with the newly promoted holy land of Yunhai Jianting, it is almost different.

What's more, there is also a powerful person in the Tianzun Realm in the Vacuum Dao - Taoist Master Tai Lingkong. Even the Yunhai Sword Master of this Ten Thousand Years Sect does not dare to underestimate him.

As for the other Heavenly Lords, they have different expressions and cannot agree on one thing.

"Okay! Since some people think that our Nanyue Prefecture is a deserted land, and monks are not worth mentioning. They are not even qualified to enter the Duzun Mansion, so that's fine!" In front of everyone, Wan Zong Shengyin smiled sinisterly: " It’s a good thing not to enter the Duzun Mansion. When the spiritual war comes in the future, the old man will lead the children and grandchildren of Nanyue Prefecture to seek refuge in the spiritual world. Maybe he can still enjoy the good life, drink spicy food, and live a prosperous life! "

As soon as Wan Zongsheng said these words, everyone's expression changed.

This old boy!

There are really no taboos...

Do you dare to say such remarks about collaboration with the enemy in public?

"Fellow Taoist Wan! Please be careful what you say! Fellow Taoist! It's about Duzun Mansion and spiritual warfare, so please be careful!" But it was Master Taiyin, the elder of Sanqing Temple, who, as a landlord, took over the words: "South Vietnam Zhou is a member of the cultivation world. As long as the monks have outstanding qualifications, they are qualified to enter the Duzun Mansion! Contribute to the spiritual war! However, the number of Nascent Souls is only a hundred, so Nanyue Zhou wants ten, right? "

"Tai Yin! You are just talking like a human being! To be honest, the old man didn't expect to get ten places, but you can't give me none, right?"

"How about we follow the usual practice and pick one out of a hundred in South Vietnam?"

What Master Taiyin means is that according to the last arrangement of Duzun Mansion, only one quota will be given to Nanyue Prefecture.

This was the start of a routine, and Tiandu City was able to win half of the country.

Most of the quotas in Tiandu City belong to the Nine Holy Lands.

Among the nine holy places, Sanqing Temple once again occupies the largest share.

The quota withheld from Nanyue Prefecture might belong to Sanqing Temple.

As soon as Master Taiyin said these words, some of the Heavenly Lords nodded slightly, some shook their heads silently, but most of them had expressionless faces.

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

Only Wan Zongsheng had to step forward.

He asked for ten places, but Master Taiyin counter-offered one place.

This gap is too big...

"Tai Yin! Are you deceiving me that there is no one in South Vietnam?"

"What did Fellow Daoist Wan say? Aren't you still guarding Nanyue Prefecture? However, Fellow Daoist Wan, don't forget that you are also from Tiandu!"

Master Taiyin’s words are clearly saying: There is no one in South Vietnam!

Even Wan Zongsheng, who has the highest cultivation level, was sent or expelled from Tiandu City. What qualifications does the entire Nanyue State have to bargain?

"Okay! The old man doesn't want that quota!" He stood up suddenly, glanced at all the Heavenly Lords, and Wan Zongsheng said word by word: "Let's see!"

After saying this, Wan Zongsheng was about to leave.

But it was Shancai Tongzun who grabbed him.

"Fellow Taoists! Nanyue Prefecture is considered one of the five prefectures in the world. There is only one quota for one hundred Nascent Souls. Isn't that not enough?"

"Good fortune! If you want to do good deeds, you can take some of the places in your name from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and give them to Nanyue State!"

"That's right! Didn't your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and Nanyue Prefecture form an alliance?"

It's about everyone's interests, and everyone won't give in.

"Okay! Last time in Duzun Mansion, our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce got three places. This time, we don't want any of them!" Faced with everyone's criticism, Shancai Tongzun smiled calmly: "Brother Wan is right! Let's ride Don’t look at the ledger—we’ll see!”

After saying this, before everyone could come to their senses, Shancai Tongzun, who was originally going to pull Wan Zongsheng, actually pulled Wan Zongsheng and walked out.

This time, Wan Zongsheng was not happy...

He was just showing off, but he never thought he had to leave!

Just one, one spot is better than none, right?

He was from Nanyue Prefecture, a remote and remote area, but he was not as wealthy as the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

If you miss this village, where can you find such a blessed place as Duzun Mansion?

"Amitabha! Two donors! Be patient!"

The young monk shouted the Buddha's name, which resounded throughout the place and stopped everyone.

"Spiritual war is a catastrophe of heaven and earth. It is by no means the rise and fall of one state or one place, nor is it the gain or loss of one person or one sect. It requires the whole country to work together to overcome the difficulties! Although Nanyue Prefecture is somewhat in decline, it is still one of the five states in the world. , logically speaking, it is reasonable to ask for ten places. However, now that there are too many people, we are gathered here to work out the most reasonable and feasible plan! "

"What the holy monk said makes sense! What the holy monk thinks is: How many places should there be in South Vietnam?"

"Half ten, how about five?"

"No!" Shaking his head slowly, Master Taiyin uttered the truth: "Last time, Nanyue Prefecture only had one quota. If the difference is too big this time, the quotas of other forces will be greatly reduced. Move your whole body with one shot!”

As soon as Master Taiyin said these words, many Heavenly Lords raised their eyebrows.

There are only one hundred places in total. There are more Nanyue Prefectures, but there are fewer others...

"Tai Yin! Since you have spoken out, Mr. Tao will also give you a minimum price - Nanyue Prefecture and our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, each want three places!"

"..."

Faced with the low price of Shancai Tongzun, Master Taiyin remained silent.

To be honest, the three quotas obtained by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce are not too many, but rather small - this is also the case several times in the past!

With their qualifications as disciples of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it is not too much to occupy five places, but in the previous Duzun Mansion, they only had three places.

The Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to care much about Duzun Mansion.

Maybe it's because they are really wealthy...

Only this time, Shancai Tongzun's reserve price was equivalent to transferring two places that should have belonged to the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to Nanyue State.

With such a low price, Master Taiyin couldn’t help but agree!

After the quotas for Nanyue Prefecture and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce are determined, everything else will be easy to handle.

Of the remaining ninety-four places, the Zhongzhou family occupied forty-four, Dongwu Prefecture occupied twenty-four, and Western Shu Prefecture and Northern Wei Prefecture each received thirteen.

The number of quotas has been established, but the candidates for the quotas are yet to be decided...
