Except for the Five Colors Peacock, most of the major demon races in the Southern Wilderness regarded human life as grass and regarded humans as servants and even food.
Even in the Youluo Plain of the Youhuai Clan, there were many people who were kidnapped to do hard labor.
On the side of the Demon Path, the living environment of humans was more or less strong.
But it was also limited.
The cultivation of the Demon Path was bloody, especially in the middle and low realms, the cultivation of demon blood would affect people's mind and make them tend to be bloodthirsty and cold.
The Southern Wilderness was vast and had a large population.
But most of the people here had to worry about when they might suffer because of the big demons or devils.
This was a world where man-made disasters were more powerful than natural disasters.
After Zhang Dongyun unified the Southern Wilderness, it finally became much more peaceful.
No matter how unwilling the demons and devils here were, they had to restrain themselves under the rule of Chang 'an.
But Zhang Dongyun was also considering migrating some of the original demons and devils in the Southern Wilderness, and then migrating others from the Central Region and other places to re-establish the balance and regulate them.
Now that the Western Region had been taken, it was suitable for the two sides to infiltrate each other.
However, if the demons and devils really went against the Buddhists, the conflict between the two sides would eventually affect the common people.
So Zhang Dongyun had been thinking about it these days and grasped the propriety of it.
It was a good thing that the patriarch of the Youhuai Clan, Cang Hui, had taken root in the Western Region.
Monsters from plants were more or less gentle than other demon races, and Cang Hui's strength could also control the situation.
With him, it was easier to grasp the propriety.
Zhang Dongyun thought for a while and arranged the order.
In the Southern Wilderness, including a few Youhuai Clans, assisted by the Golden-winged Roc and the Suan Ni, organized the first batch of immigrants to the Western Region.
At the same time, the Central Region also organized the immigrants to the Southern Wilderness.
"After the arrangements are made, let's move quickly."
Zhang Dongyun, who was seated high above, ordered.
An old Taoist below bowed to him and said, "The people of our sect have been organized. I, as the leader, will lead the team to the Southern Region."
The old Taoist was the headmaster of the Righteous Sect, Cheng Yang Zhenren.
The Pure Yang Palace was destroyed many years ago, and the Tai Qing Palace was forced to exile overseas in recent years.
Of the three great Daoist sacred grounds of the Central Plains in the past, only the Righteous Sect remained.
The Zhengyi Sect had been in contact with Chang 'an for a long time, and then gradually leaned toward Chang' an.
Chang 'an unified the Central Plains, and the Righteous Faction also contributed.
With the city of Chang 'an as the center, the main force who deployed the formation in all directions was also the Righteous Sect's disciples.
Right now, the headmaster, Reverend Cheng Yang, is personally leading the group to the south, to the Southern Wasteland.
Naturally, they were not exiled by Zhang Dongyun. Instead, they were ordered by Zhang Dongyun to take root in the Southern Wasteland and change the local environment and landscape.
To a certain extent, it could be considered as spreading Daoism into the Southern Wasteland.
On the side of the righteous faction, they didn't care much about this. They were not as enthusiastic as the Pure Yang Palace and the Tai Qing Palace.
However, since Zhang Dongyun had given the order, and the Southern Wasteland's commoners were indeed having a hard time, Reverend Cheng Yang and his group might as well head south.
On the other hand, although the Zhengyi Sect didn't have the idea of going against Chang 'an, it would be best if they could better maintain their own independence.
In the eyes of the world, Chang 'an was located in the Eastern Border, and the Eastern Border was naturally the most firmly controlled place in Chang' an.
The Central Plains was the central area of the Eastern Divine Continent. Chang 'an's performance in these years was to expand westward, and the Central Plains was the first stop.
It could be imagined that the Central Plains was one of the most influential places in Chang 'an.
Relatively speaking, the Southern Wasteland and the Northern Mang were a bit more peripheral.
However, in these two places, the attention of Chang 'an would be relatively less.
The Zhengyi Sect didn't worry about being left out.
It was more in line with their thoughts to be able to enjoy themselves quietly.
Relatively speaking, the environment of the Northern Mang was simpler than that of the Southern Wasteland, and it was easier for outsiders to gain a foothold.
However, now that Zhang Dongyun had given the order, the Zhengyi Sect gathered together and headed to the Southern Wasteland.
Of course, the Central Plains had their ancestral land, and they wouldn't give it up easily.
However, in the future, they would only guard their own land, and their main energy would be concentrated in the Southern Wasteland.
"Bring the things."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand from his seat, and a ball of light appeared in front of Cheng Yang Zhenren.
Cheng Yang Zhenren accepted it, and the light dissipated, revealing the atlas.
The old Daoist only took a few glances, and his expression changed slightly. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently, "After going to the Southern Wasteland, slowly figure it out. When you want to make a move, if you lack materials, you can come to Chang 'an to coordinate. Once the transcendent artifact is refined, it belongs to the Zhengyi Sect. You don't have to bring it back to me."
Cheng Yang Zhenren bowed again. "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
The atlas that Zhang Dongyun gave him contained various principles, and could be used to refine an extremely brilliant transcendent artifact.
Even with Cheng Yang Zhenren's thirteenth level cultivation, he was fascinated when he saw it.
He even faintly felt that he could benefit greatly by refining the transcendent artifact. On the day the transcendent artifact was refined, he would have a deeper understanding of its principles, and his own cultivation would improve.
With His Majesty's eloquence, he naturally wouldn't be sarcastic.
Once the transcendent artifact was refined, it would belong to the Zhengyi Sect.
Although the "eight" character had not yet appeared, just by looking at the atlas, Cheng Yang Zhenren felt that on the day the transcendent artifact was completed, this transcendent artifact would definitely surpass the Zhengyi Sect's previous treasures.
If such a transcendent artifact belonged to the Zhengyi Sect, there was no doubt that the Zhengyi Sect would be able to gain a foothold in the Southern Wasteland.
Refining the transcendent artifact required a lot of resources, but His Majesty clearly stated that the transcendent artifact could be raised through Chang 'an. In this way, the Zhengyi Sect would not need to pay too much.
Of course, Cheng Yang Zhenren also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
Zhang Dongyun's reward today was, on one hand, to commend the Zhengyi Sect for pledging their allegiance to Chang 'an, for doing their best, and for setting an example.
On the other hand, after the Zhengyi Sect refined the transcendent artifact, they would further contribute to Chang 'an in the future.
Cheng Yang Zhenren did not reject this.
The Southern Wasteland's environment was harsh, and human life was not easy.
The Zhengyi Sect, a Taoist holy land, would protect a large number of people from being harmed by demons and devils regardless of whether they preached or not.
This was a meritorious deed, which did not go against the wishes of Cheng Yang Zhenren and the others. It was also in line with Chang 'an's way of doing things in recent years.
Chang 'an did not reveal its so-called cruel and heartless nature just because it unified the Central Plains and Dongsheng Divine Continent, as some people had speculated.
Under His Majesty's rule, he still sympathized with the common people.
Cheng Yang Zhenren was naturally happy to lend a helping hand.
Zhang Dongyun watched the old Taoist leave and nodded slightly.
Peng Ziling could refine the Thunder Ancestor Sword, so Chang 'an could naturally do the same.
Master Zhang himself was not good at refining transcendent artifacts. Even if he refined them, others could not bring them out of the city, but he could instruct others in refining them.
As one of the Three Great Taoist Sects of the Central Plains in the past, the Zhengyi Sect's legacy and accumulation of resources were naturally not lacking.
The blueprint Zhang Dongyun gave was very simple, but for Cheng Yang Zhenren, it was enough with just a little guidance.
With the Illusory Mist of Yuantian that was previously rewarded to the Zhengyi Sect, as well as the Taoist techniques that Jin Xiaoxiao and the others gained when they set up the Chang 'an formation, and the enlightenment that Cheng Yang Zhenren received from the refining process, the old Taoist was very likely to take a step further and reach the peak of the Nascent Divinity realm.
In addition to the Thunder Ancestor Sword, Peng Ziling's [Genesis Six Directions Formation] also reminded Zhang Dongyun.
Although he could do whatever he wanted in the Invincible City, outside the city, his enemies were not to be trifled with.
Su Po's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, but it was not something that he could do alone.
Next, in addition to Peng Ziling and the others, and even the Buddhist Pure Land of Aparagodaniya, he might have to face more opponents.
Even if Su Po was invincible, he might not be able to take care of all of them.
Ao Kong and Shen Herong had improved rapidly, but it did not stop them from doing more.
Jie Feng was an example.
It was better to have more elites than less under the rule of Chang 'an.
However, there was a very objective problem. After all, fourteenth-realm elites were not that common.
Otherwise, the Western Region Buddhist Sect would have been able to recover after the Four Great Holy Monks were lost.
If it was so easy to recover, Jie Feng would not have been able to rise in the Western Region.
With Zhang Dongyun's guidance in the Invincible City, some things were naturally easier.
However, it still depended on the person.
Some people had hope of improving in a short time.
Some people had hope, but distant water could not quench their immediate thirst.
Master Zhang roughly counted the chips in his hands.
If he were to calculate, the situation was actually better than expected.
Cheng Yang Zhenren was one of them.
As for Lou Ning, he was not without hope.
To be able to achieve so much in such a short time, his talent was naturally outstanding.
Then there was the Shu Mountain Sect Leader, Gu Pu.
There were quite a lot of twists and turns.
First, Shu Mountain Sect was split into the Northern and Southern Sects because of Su Po. Gu Pu was also heavily injured by Su Po and had not recovered until now.
After that, the Twelve Kings of Hell made a move and facilitated the merger of the Northern and Southern Sects of Shu Mountain, and Shu Mountain Sect reappeared.
Gu Pu's title changed from Shu Mountain Sect Leader to Shu Mountain Northern Sect Leader, and then back to Shu Mountain Sect Leader.
In these years, his sword path had improved greatly.
He was also very talented and was recognized as the second swordsman of the Central Plains after Su Po.
Gu Pu had a chance to reach the fourteenth-realm like Su Po and climb to the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, dominating the world.
However, his illness had not been cured for many years and had been dragging him down.
Zhang Dongyun could naturally cure him quickly.
However, Shu Mountain had not made any contributions before. Adhering to the principle of fair rewards and punishments, he chased Gu Pu and the others to the Western Region first.
If they did well on this mission, Zhang Dongyun would naturally not mistreat them when they returned.
When that time came, Gu Pu would be full of energy and could quickly challenge a higher realm.
Chang 'an City would also gain another fourteenth-realm expert.
Other than Cheng Yang Zhenren, Lou Ning, and Gu Pu, the other person who had hope of breaking through to the fourteenth-realm was a demon.
He was the leader of the Youhuai Clan, who had taken root in the Western Region, Cang Hui.
Although this old locust tree had kept a low profile in the Southern Wasteland, he was actually the third strongest expert after the Roc Xuan Guang and the Black Dragon King Yang Zheng. He was only half a step away from the fourteenth-realm.
With Zhang Dongyun's guidance and care, Cang Hui would be able to cross this half a step very quickly.
In this way, the number of top experts in Chang 'an City would no longer be small, and it would be able to match the prestige of the current master of the Divine Prefecture.
