The Longhuai Ancestor wanted to open up a pure land for the Spirit Demon Clan. To be honest, several people, including Lu Ping, did not agree with it. It was not that Lu Ping did not support it, but as the three people had said before, Lu Ping did not think that without the Longhuai Ancestor, everything in the Perished Secret Land could still be preserved.
Unless the Perished Secret Land could establish a perfect Spirit Demon inheritance system like the Human Clan sects. However, the Spirit Demon Clan was different from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. The Human Clan and the Demon Clan could awaken their spiritual wisdom on their own, but the Spirit Demon Clan could only rely on luck to awaken their spiritual wisdom on their own. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for the Spirit Demon Clan to achieve this.
The Longhuai Ancestor obviously understood the meaning of the three people's words. He smiled and said, "I want you to restrain the disciples of the Sect not to protect the Spirit Demon Clan, but to avoid the deaths and injuries of the cultivators in your Sect."
Seeing the slightly stunned expressions of the three people, the Longhuai Ancestor smiled and said, "The Old Man has been in the Perished Secret Land for more than 30,000 years. Because of the existence of the Sky Wall of Poison, he could not summon the Thunder Retribution, so he could not completely break away from the shackles of his body. In order to pass the boring time, the Old Man has also taught many of the younger generation in the secret land. Their cultivation has accumulated enough, and the only thing they need is to experience the Thunder Retribution to break away from the shackles of their bodies."
Lu Ping had entered the Perished Secret Land and saw the original body of the Longhuai Ancestor, but he had never seen the existence of other Spirit Demons. Now that he thought about it, it was obviously deliberately done by the Longhuai Ancestor.
"But now that the Sky Wall of Poison has completely fallen into the control of the Old Man, some of the younger generation who have received guidance from the Old Man can summon the Thunder Retribution at any time and transform into human form. Although the Old Man's original body could not leave the Sky Wall of Poison, he once traveled the world with his incarnation. Within a hundred years, the Perished Secret Land can produce more than 20 Dharma adepts, many of whom are at the Pure Yang level. In this world, this is equivalent to an existence close to a Holy Land. It can completely establish its own clan in the East Sea. What do you think?"
The three of them were all shocked. Within a hundred years, the Perished Secret Land could produce more than 20 Dharma adepts. If it had been anyone else, the three would have scoffed. If it had been someone else, they would have been disdainful. However, from the existence in front of them, they would have been convinced.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what the Longhuai Ancestor said was not impossible. The Spirit Demon clan was originally a plant, wood, bamboo, and stone that absorbed the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth and gained sentience. Although the speed of cultivation was far inferior to that of humans and demons, the Spirit Demon clan also had a long lifespan that humans and demons could not compare to.
The Longhuai Ancestor had been operating in the Perished Secret Land for 30,000 years, and he said that he was a creature that Jiao Daoren had personally created and even inherited Jiao Daoren's own memories. To a certain extent, the Longhuai Ancestor could even be considered a clone of Jiao Daoren. It was just that this clone now seemed to have its own sentience and consciousness, and had broken away from Jiao Daoren's control. It was naturally not surprising that such an existence could plot such a situation.
However, when the three of them heard what the Longhuai Ancestor said, although they were all shocked, their expressions were different. Lu Ping's own surprise was more than his other thoughts. Although the rise of the Spirit Demon clan would have a major impact on Donghai, and even the entire cultivation world, for Zhenling, who dominated the North Sea cultivation world, this impact was not strong. Moreover, with the friendship between Lu Ping and the Longhuai Ancestor, the rise of the Spirit Demon clan would have a minimal impact on Zhenling.
Compared to Lu Ping, the expression on Yuan Jiu Laozu's face was somewhat ugly.
For a long time, the Crystal Palace had dominated Donghai. Although there were several sects that hindered them, the situation in Donghai had always been firmly in the hands of the Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace's control of the situation had also reached its peak after the collapse of the Northern Alliance.
At this time, the Crystal Palace had destroyed the Northern Alliance, split the sky, invaded North Sea, and entered the Central Mainland with monstrous power. Even the Holy Land of the Central Mainland was very afraid of the Crystal Palace and did not dare to confront it head-on. They could only support the coastal sects behind the scenes to stop the invasion of the Crystal Palace.
However, after the collapse of the Northern Alliance, Xiao Baiyu, who had been dormant for two hundred years, suddenly returned with a Pure Yang body. Soon, the Crystal Palace suffered a series of setbacks in North Sea, and the expansion of the Central Mainland also stagnated.
After that, the five major sects joined forces. Not only did the Crystal Palace's influence in the Central Mainland suffer a great setback, even the Donghai, which was regarded as the backyard of the Crystal Palace, was invaded one after another. Tianxuan Sect, Tianyue Sect, and Zhenling's influence entered Donghai one after another. Even so, the Crystal Palace still had the upper hand in Donghai. Until the ten Pure Yangs joined forces to destroy the Nine Mystical Tower, the situation of the entire cultivation world changed drastically.
Only then did the Crystal Palace realize the coming crisis when the Nine Mystical Tower's inheritance of the Real Soul was leaked. Skyrend, Zhenling, Tianxuan Sect, and Tianyue Sect all obtained the inheritance of the Nine Mystical Tower. However, these four sects all had incomparable advantages compared to other large sects.
Especially when Skyrend obtained the Nine Mystical Tower's Mini Chiliocosm. Seeing that a new Holy Land sect was about to be born in Donghai, the Crystal Palace had no choice but to take the risk. They took advantage of the opportunity when the Yuan Wine Laozu achieved the Real Soul and tried to kill Xiao Baiyu and Lu Tianping with the help of two Real Soul Cultivators.
Unexpectedly, the Crystal Palace's plan still failed in the end. Not only was Xiao Baiyu forced to achieve the Real Soul, but Lu Tianping also broke through the Sky Poison Wall and released an even more terrifying existence.
Moreover, this Longhuai Ancestor wanted to build another force in Donghai that could rival the Holy Land. The rise of the Spiritualist clan was bound to weaken the Crystal Palace's interests in Donghai. Even so, it had a direct impact on Skyrend. However, this was the most unacceptable for the Crystal Palace, which had always regarded Donghai as their own backyard.
Compared to the Yuan Wine Laozu's ugly expression, Xiao Baiyu's expression was also full of solemnity. However, they both knew that in front of such a powerful Longhuai Ancestor, they had to accept this condition. At least when the Longhuai Ancestor was still in this world, no one could stop the rise of the Spiritualist clan.
Could it be that this Longhuai Ancestor also had a Mini Chiliocosm or other means to escape from the exclusion of this world?
Xiao Baiyu's heart skipped a beat. If the Longhuai Ancestor was really a bloodline clone of Jiao Daoren, then this person should be treated as an immature Jiao Daoren. Therefore, it was not surprising that the Longhuai Ancestor had such means.
While the cultivation world of the East Sea was similarly vast, compared to the Central Plains, it was already at its limit to withstand the combined forces of the Three Holy Lands, Water Crystal Palace, Jade Sea Spirit Serpent and Heavenly Splitting Sword Sect. If the Spirit Yao Clan, which was on par with the Holy Lands, were to be added to the mix, then the rich East Sea would become lacking in various cultivation resources.
Under the pressure of the five sects previously, the Crystal Palace seemed to be restrained everywhere. However, most of the important resources that were related to the lifeblood of the cultivation world of Donghai were still controlled by the Crystal Palace. After Xiao Baiyu became a True Spirit, Skyrend was bound to be unable to get help from the other four sects. It could only rely on its own strength to compete with the Crystal Palace. But now, with the addition of the Spiritualist clan, Xiao Baiyu also had a resentment towards Lu Ping for no reason. Why did he break the Heavenly Poison Wall for no reason?
Xiao Baiyu also knew that this resentment was really unreasonable. Not to mention that Lu Ping was on the verge of death when he was chased by the Yuan Jiu Laozu, he had no choice but to seek the help of the Longhuai Ancestor. Even if Lu Ping did not break the Heavenly Poison Wall in the end, there would be people like Zhang Ping and Li Ping who would break the seal later.
Perhaps Donghai was still too small for the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Perhaps it was time for the Sky-splitting Sword Sect to turn its attention to the Central Plains. The Sky-splitting Sword Sect was originally a sect from the Central Plains. Even though it had moved overseas for many years, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had never forgotten its origins. Otherwise, Xiao Baiyu would not have attacked the Purple Sun Palace alone.
However, if it entered the Central Mainland now, although there was a power vacuum after the destruction of the Nine Xuanwu Tower, at this time, whether it was Tianxuan Sect, Tianyue Sect, Wuxing School, Skyward Pavilion, Lingyun Valley, or other forces of the Central Mainland, they were all constantly infiltrating the power vacuum of the Nine Xuanwu Tower.
At this time, if Skyrend intervened forcefully, if it did not seize the opportunity, it was very likely that it would backfire. Not only would it fall out with Tianxuan Sect and Tianyue Sect, it might even cause the forces of the Central Mainland to give up fighting and unite against the foreign forces.
A few words from Longhuai Ancestor had caused the two Celestial Spirits, Laozu, to think so much. It might even cause a huge upheaval in the cultivation world in the future.
However, at this time, Longhuai Ancestor obviously would not consider the feelings of Laozu and Xiao Baiyu. Longhuai Ancestor informed the two Celestial Spirits of his plan. Then, he said to Lu Ping, "Lu Xiaoyou, please come to the Fallen Secret Land for a chat. Since the two of you have become Celestial Spirits, come and listen!"
Lu Ping smiled at the two of them and casually threw out a talisman. The talisman flickered and disappeared into the void.
Both Laozu and Xiao Baiyu looked at each other and each sent out a talisman. Then, they followed behind Lu Ping and Longhuai Ancestor to the Thousand Poison Sky Wall that had risen again.
In the Phantom Palace, the expressions of Yuanfeng Laozu, Cang Yu Laozu, and Jiang Tianlin changed. They each stretched out their hands to receive a talisman. After reading the contents, the three of them had different expressions.
Just as the cultivators of the various sects in the hall were secretly speculating about the reason behind these three decrees, Ancestor Cang Yu was the first to sigh and said, "I believe the two of you understand the whole story of today's matter. Do you have any objections?"
Who could have any objections to the tone set by two Celestial Spirits, Laozu, and a Pure Yang? Who dared to have any objections? Everyone cursed in their hearts.
Jiang Tianlin smiled and said, "In that case, let's do as the three of you said!"
Yuanfeng Laozu snorted coldly. His face was extremely pale, but he did not dare to say anything in the end. The Crystal Palace's plan to hunt them down eventually failed. This time, the Crystal Palace had undoubtedly suffered the greatest loss in the distribution of the Spirit Stone mine on the Phantom Island.
The distribution plan was finalized. The ten sects, including the Crystal Palace, divided the giant Spirit Stone mine on the Phantom Island. Among them, the Crystal Palace's share was reduced from 40% to 30%, while Skyrend and Zhenling each took 10% of the original share of the Crystal Palace. However, Skyrend's strength was originally above Zhenling's. Although they each got 10%, Skyrend's total share was still more than Zhenling's.
These three sects occupied 60% of the giant Spirit Stone mine in one fell swoop, while the remaining seven large sects divided the remaining 40%.
Originally, Zhenling and Skyrend's plan was to gain the support of the other large sects. They only wanted to take 20% of the Crystal Palace's share, while the three sects only wanted 50% of the entire mine.
Of course, the Crystal Palace strongly opposed it. In the end, they were only willing to give up 10% of the share. However, how could that satisfy the appetite of the other two sects? Helplessly, the three sects could only cooperate with each other to take away 10% of the share from the other seven sects. The other seven sects dared not to say anything even though they were angry.
In fact, the three sects, including the Crystal Palace, were quite scrupulous about this blatant way of bullying the seven sects. At the beginning, none of the three sects wanted to be the bad guy. Zhenling and Skyrend insisted that their respective 10% share should be taken from the Crystal Palace. If the Crystal Palace wanted to keep 30% of the share, they had to get 10% from other shares. The implication was that they wanted the Crystal Palace to be the scapegoat for offending the seven sects.
Of course, Yuanfeng Laozu would not let the two sects succeed. He insisted that the Crystal Palace voluntarily give up 10% of the share, and the two sects would ask for the remaining 10% from the seven sects themselves.
In the end, after a series of intrigues, the three sects finally chose to cooperate with each other and put pressure on the seven sects together. Together, they occupied 60% of the entire giant spiritual stone mine.
In the secret burial ground, as the four of them entered the Heavenly Poisonous Wall one after another, Longhuai Ancestor took the opportunity to reveal the breath of a spiritual monster with a mysterious space power. The sky was suddenly covered with tribulation clouds. However, the momentum was quite different from what Longhuai Ancestor had done before.
It was a pine tree that was a thousand feet tall. Lu Ping carefully watched the process of the tribulation. Nine bolts of tribulation lightning fell in a row. The pine tree spirit managed to resist the tribulation, but Longhuai Ancestor quickly closed the Heavenly Poisonous Wall. The breath of the pine tree spirit was covered, and the tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.
Qing Song, who had survived the first Thunder Calamity, was now at the mid Dharma stage. His true form was also beginning to take on a human form. A tall and thin middle-aged man broke away from Qing Song's true form and looked around himself excitedly. Only then did he remember to thank Patriarch Long Huai.
In fact, Lu Ping and the others could see that the pine tree in front of them had accumulated a lot of energy. It was no weaker than a late Dharma adept. However, Longhuai Ancestor was obviously protecting the pine tree spirit and did not allow it to continue summoning the tribulation lightning to advance directly to the late Dharma stage.
However, what Lu Ping found strange was that this pine tree spirit did not seem to be able to transform after advancing to the Core Forging stage like Lu Taohua. Thinking about how Longhuai Ancestor's original body had also undergone the tribulation lightning, Lu Ping secretly guessed, "Could it be that the Longhuai Ancestor's ability is not weaker than a Dharma adept's even though it is not yet a Dharma adept? Could it be that its original body could not transform before the tribulation?"
Compared to Lu Ping's attention to the spiritual monster's tribulation in the secret burial ground, Spirit Wine Laozu and Xiao Baiyu were obviously more concerned about other things.
Spirit Wine Laozu asked with a shocked expression, "Senior, you can actually control the time when the tribulation lightning strikes?"
Longhuai Ancestor laughed and said, "Although the Old Man has inherited the memories of Jiao Daoren, he is not the creator of this world. There is no way he can change the rules of this world. All the Old Man can do is take advantage of a loophole. Once these juniors do not have the Old Man's Heavenly Poisonous Wall to conceal their aura, they will immediately be punished by the tribulation lightning."
Xiao Baiyu sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "This Heavenly Poisonous Wall can conceal the cultivator's perception of the tribulation lightning. Doesn't this mean that this formation is equivalent to a Lesser Chiliocosm? Senior will not have to worry about being excluded by this world?"
Longhuai Ancestor seemed to have seen through the two's thoughts. He shook his head and said with a smile, "The Heavenly Poisonous Wall is not comparable to a Lesser Chiliocosm, but it is still personally arranged by Jiao Daoren in the past. The Old Man has said before that the Heavenly Poisonous Wall still needs the Old Man's method to conceal the juniors' aura. Without the Old Man's ability to conceal it, even the Heavenly Poisonous Wall will not be able to block the Thunder Tribulation's perception of the spiritual monster's aura."
"As for the Old Man, hehe, the Old Man's existence is too special. If the seal of the Heavenly Poisonous Wall has not been broken, the Old Man will not have to worry about being excluded by this world. But since the Old Man has turned into a True Spirit, the Heavenly Poisonous Wall will no longer be able to conceal the Old Man's aura. In the end, he will still be excluded by this world. It's just a matter of time."
