Among the seven people present, there were some with high and some with low cultivation.
The high ones were Han Xiao from the Han family of the Da Ning Dynasty and Song Jun from the Song family of the Da Qian Dynasty. They were both top experts in the 13th realm of martial arts.
The low ones were Li Jie from the Dahe Longmen of the Eastern Frontier, Lin Ying from the Misty Sky Peak, Zhuo Zui from the Barren Thunder Sect, and Chen Mengyang from the Chen family.
The four of them were the vanguard of Chang 'an's invasion of the Central Plains.
Now, the four families had also occupied a place in the Central Plains.
Although they were not as powerful as the Long family, others did not dare to underestimate them. After all, they were the first forces to join Chang 'an.
Further up was a woman. She was the Grand Princess of the Yin Dynasty, Lou Yu.
She represented her elder brother, Lou Ning, who was also a 13th realm cultivator like Han Xiao and Song Bai.
These seven families were all based on martial arts.
The balls of light floating in front of them were also related to martial arts. They were seven fruits.
The fruits were called Ten Sun Fruits. They were produced by the Ten Sun Tree and greatly nourished a martial artist's body.
Zhang Dongyun took advantage of the temporary expansion to sweep away all the valuable items.
To him, a rare Ten Sun Tree could be considered his greatest gain.
He practiced martial arts, so the Ten Sun Fruit could be used.
Since the fruit trees were in his hands, he could naturally transplant them as he wished.
He could also use them as rewards for his subordinates.
"Bring them back and plant them. When the Ten Sun Tree is fully grown, you can pick them yourselves."
Master Zhang instructed the people below.
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and bowed to Zhang Dongyun to express their gratitude.
If they were allowed to plant them, they could harvest more in the future. It was naturally better than eating this one.
This way, they would have a treasure tree that could benefit their children and grandchildren for thousands of generations.
In the future, their development would have an additional layer of protection, and they would have more opportunities than others.
As for Li Jie, Lin Ying, Zhuo Zui, Chen Mengyang, and the others, they were even more overjoyed.
Compared to the original great forces of the Central Plains, their sects seemed to have a shallow foundation.
But under the Ten Sun Fruit tree, they could catch up in the future.
As long as they were given enough time, they would be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Zhang Dongyun before retreating and returning to the Central Plains.
Zhang Dongyun clapped his hands and stood up.
He rewarded the officials with treasures that were helpful to their cultivation.
He hoped that these people could improve their cultivation and strength as soon as possible. In this way, Chang 'an would have more people to rely on.
Of course, there were also many people who didn't receive any rewards.
For example, the Shushan Sect, Bodhi Temple, and so on.
There was still a group of demons in the Southern Wilderness.
Although they had pledged their allegiance, they hadn't made any contributions yet. Zhang Dongyun naturally wouldn't give them preferential treatment.
There was a limit to rewards and punishments. Rules had to be set first.
Giving rewards to those who had already made contributions could also motivate those who had not made any contributions to continue working hard.
Zhang Dongyun walked down from his seat and went to the center of the hall, temporarily putting these matters to the back of his mind.
He stood still and took a fist stance.
An imposing aura that could rule the world instantly spread out in all directions.
Generally speaking, the higher one went on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it would be.
Therefore, one's progress would be slower.
Zhang Dongyun had gone from having no foundation to the 11th realm in less than three years. For this world, it was already beyond the imagination of many people.
However, at the 11th realm, if he wanted to continue advancing by leaps and bounds, the difficulty would increase exponentially.
Fortunately, now that Invincible City could exist for a long time, Master Zhang didn't have to be in such a hurry.
But for Zhang Dongyun, he had to remind himself not to relax.
After the Coiling Dragon Rock, he had the help of the Ten Sun Fruit, which gave him an additional motivation.
But if he wanted to continue advancing, he still needed a lot of time and energy.
Master Zhang had to make the most of it.
Now that the Central Plains had just been settled and there were many things to do, he still took time to focus on his own cultivation.
Apart from that, he had to prepare for his next goal.
The Western Regions.
One day, Zhang Dongyun was practicing his fist techniques when his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He casually waved his hand in the air, and a light image appeared in the hall.
It showed the scene that Cang Hui, the leader of the Secluded Huai Clan, witnessed in the Western Regions.
After planting this Secluded Huai Clan in the Western Regions, Zhang Dongyun naturally left a talisman mark on it.
Through the talisman mark on Cang Hui, Zhang Dongyun could see two figures approaching the towering tree.
One was an old monk and the other was a middle-aged man.
The former was benevolent and merciful like rain.
The latter, on the other hand, seemed to have come from hell and was filled with murderous intent.
The two of them came together, as if the world was split into two.
One side was full of vitality, while the other was cold and silent.
"Dabei Temple and Caged Dragon Sect … Huai Yong and Jie Feng."
Seeing this, Zhang Dongyun understood.
He had captured many disciples of Dabei Temple and Caged Dragon Sect previously and was familiar with their respective Buddhist and martial arts legacies.
During this period of time, he had been preparing to conquer the Western Regions. Abbot Huai Yong of Dabei Temple and Sect Master Jie Feng of Caged Dragon Sect were naturally targets that he couldn't avoid.
Now it seemed that while he was thinking about them, they weren't idle either.
The monk and the layman came in front of the ancient Secluded Huai Yong. Jie Feng didn't say a word, while Abbot Huai Yong put his palms together. "May I ask if you are Cang Hui, the leader of the Secluded Huai Clan in the Southern Wilderness?"
The branches and leaves of the huge Secluded Huai Tree swayed, and Cang Hui's voice came from it. "I am Cang Hui. How should I address you?"
"I am Huai Yong from Dabei Temple." Abbot Huai Yong answered.
He then introduced the middle-aged man beside him to Cang Hui. "This is Sect Master Jie Feng, the Sect Master of Caged Dragon Sect."
You Huai Yong said, "Although I live in the Southern Wilderness, I have heard that there is a fourteenth-level Martial Arts expert in the Western Regions. Sect Master Jie is indeed brilliant."
Jie Feng said lightly, "You are too polite, Sect Master Cang Hui. A Great Plant Demon of your level is rare in the world."
After the pleasantries, Cang Hui asked directly, "What are the two of you here for?"
Abbot Huai Yong said, "We should ask you why you came to the Western Regions. What orders did the City of Chang 'an give you? "
The Western Regions kept sending spies to the Central Region and the Southern Wilderness.
After a day of temporary expansion, Zhang Dongyun could no longer restrict them.
The Western Regions had found out that the Secluded Huai Clan in the Southern Wilderness had surrendered to the Chang 'an.
Master Zhang only hoped that they would not disturb the Twilight Mist who was out.
Facing Abbot Huai Yong's question, Cang Hui answered calmly, "His Majesty has ordered me to do as he says. I will not ask about the specific reason."
Abbot Huai Yong said, "You have always been free in the Southern Wilderness. Even the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird restricted you. Now you are forced to come here by the Chang 'an. Are you really willing?"
The branches and leaves of the towering tree swayed twice. "What are you trying to say?"
Abbot Huai Yong said, "To be honest, I would like to ask you to join us to fight against the Chang 'an and the Twelve Kings of Hell. Your clan is in the Southern Wilderness. We can cast spells to rescue them."
"Monk, do you want to convert me?" Cang Hui's voice sounded unfriendly.
Abbot Huai Yong looked calm. "You are too serious. I never meant that. I just want to invite you to become the Guardian King of the Outer Gate of Buddhism."
He turned his head and glanced at Xie Feng beside him. "Just like Benefactor Xie, Benefactor Xie is free to do whatever he wants. Why would we force him?"
Cang Hui was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Abbot Huai Yong continued, "I don't want you to make a decision immediately. Even if you decide to join us, you don't have to rise immediately. You can continue to hide in the Chang 'an. When the time is right, you can work with us from the inside."
In the Daming Palace in the Chang 'an City, far away in the Eastern Border, Zhang Dongyun smiled.
Cang Hui did not know about the Talisman Seal. Zhang Dongyun also wanted to see how he would answer.
On the eastern coast of the Western Regions, two top masters of the Fourteenth Realm were looking at the huge ancient Secluded Huai Tree.
"You don't have to worry about being watched." Xie Feng finally spoke. "I came here with Abbot Huai Yong to prevent anyone from spying on us."
The perception of two masters of the Fourteenth Realm was naturally terrifying.
Not only did they have a panoramic view of the surroundings, but the Eastern Barren Sea also could not escape their detection.
But because of this, Abbot Huai Yong suddenly sighed softly. "Why do you have to die for the Chang 'an?"
As he spoke, the Light of Buddha suddenly surged above the Eastern Sea.
A golden Bodhi Tree suddenly appeared at the bottom of the sea.
While entangled, it actually entangled the roots of a big tree from the bottom of the sea to the East.
It turned out that Cang Hui was secretly heading east while talking to the two, intending to send a message to the Chang 'an City.
As a Great Monster of the Thirteenth Realm, his movements were extremely secretive.
Unfortunately, Abbot Huai Yong of Dabei Temple's Boundless Realm Dharmakaya Pure Land spread out and covered the surroundings, making it look like a Buddhist kingdom.
Cang Hui's secret movements were eventually discovered by him.
"Even if I am killed here today, under His Majesty's rule, my clan will usher in a better future."
Since he had been discovered, Cang Hui simply said, "Besides, it's not that easy for you to kill me."
The huge Ancient Nether Locust Tree shook, and the surrounding earth shook as if there was an earthquake.
Everything within a radius of close to a thousand miles began to tremble as if there were countless angry dragons roiling below.
Even the distant sea roared and surged at this moment, spreading in all directions.
Streaks of dark light covered the earth, as if the Youluo Plain had reappeared.
Abbot Huai Yong sighed. "I've sinned, I've sinned …"
He put his palms together, and suddenly the image of a Bodhisattva appeared in the sky, and then rain fell.
Streaks of clear watery light covered the dark light below and immediately dissipated the dark light.
However, when the watery light fell on the Ancient Nether Locust Tree, it could not break through the dark clouds that had already covered the ancient tree.
In the dark clouds, countless stars surged, as if the brilliant galaxy had all gathered here.
After the Great Monster of the Plant stood in place and planted its roots firmly, its strength was indeed extraordinary.
Abbot Huai Yong also sighed. "If I came here alone, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time to take you down."
During this time, the reinforcements from Chang 'an City would probably arrive.
However, he did not come here alone today.
With a violent dragon roar, the Master of the Prison Dragon Sect, Dragon Emperor Jie Feng, unarmed, Slowly raised an arm, as if he was drawing a knife.
The two Fourteenth Realm masters attacked together, and the Ancient Nether Locust Tree's branches and leaves rustled, and in an instant, it swayed in the wind and rain.
