With the destruction of the Hundun Clan, the situation in the Nanzhan Department Continent was settled.
Ao Kong also received the surrender of the Thunderbolt Dragon Clan.
Everyone in the clan was present, except for the clan leader, Zhen Yu, who had the highest cultivation base.
"It's not a big deal," Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
Ao Kong, who was communicating with him through the talisman on his forehead, snorted. "Boss, these worms are not sincere. Who knows what that Zhen Yu is planning? Maybe he is faking his surrender. Although I hate those bald donkeys, they have always been stubborn. They are people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. It is a little strange that they surrendered so easily."
"So what?" Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "They can't do anything."
Although he didn't know what the Aparagodānīya Buddhist Kingdom and the Thunderbolt Dragon Clan were thinking, Zhang Dongyun wouldn't let them go so easily.
He also didn't plan to rearrange them or move them away from the ancestral land in the northwest corner of the Nanzhan Department Continent.
These Thunderbolt Dragons stayed where they were.
Zhang Dongyun only summoned some of the core members of the clan to meet him in Chang 'an.
After entering the city and stamping with his seal, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
Later on, if the Buddhist Kingdom and the Pure Land made any moves, he would know immediately and deal with them.
One by one, the Thunderbolt Dragons came to Chang 'an's Daming Palace to meet Zhang Dongyun.
The moment they entered the city, Zhang Dongyun knew clearly what they were thinking.
These Thunderbolt Dragons had all converted to Buddhism. They were still reluctant to submit to Chang 'an.
They were all persuaded by their clan leader, Zhen Yu, to stay in the Nanzhan Department Continent and bow to Chang 'an.
But Zhen Yu didn't mention anything about the Aparagodānīya Continent.
In the eyes of the dragons, the Aparagodānīya Continent didn't make any moves. Perhaps it was the main reason why their clan leader was forced to persuade them to give up.
Zhen Yu didn't give them any special missions or missions. Instead, he instructed them to listen to the rules of Chang 'an. They should stay away from trouble and focus on chanting Buddhism.
From the looks of it, there didn't seem to be a problem.
It seemed that out of self-respect, Zhenyu was unwilling to come back. But he was worried that his clansmen would be massacred in the city of Chang 'an. Under the circumstances where he was powerless to protect them, he had no choice but to order everyone to surrender to Chang' an.
Zhang Dongyun did not bother about this matter anymore. He released the dragons and instructed Ao Kong to be on guard against the Aparagodaniya Continent at all times.
With Ao Kong watching, it would be extremely difficult for the other party to sneak into the Southern Viewing Department Continent.
If he wanted to succeed, he would have to rely on an insider.
At that time, he would know what they were up to.
Master Zhang used the same method to deal with the Taotie Clan.
This Great Demon Clan, one of the Four Ferocious Beasts of the Southern Viewing Section State, had been watching from the sidelines.
After the news of Ao Kong joining the war and attacking Chaotic Sky Valley spread, the patriarch of the Taotie Race, Shi Kun, finally made the final decision.
This was the most prosperous Great Demon Clan in the Nanzhan Department State. Just like the Long Biao Tiger, they surrendered to Chang 'an City.
The outcome was almost certain. Making the final decision under such circumstances was undoubtedly a lot lighter.
In order to show their repentance, almost all the higher-ups of the Taotie Clan came to Chang 'an City to seek an audience with Zhang Dongyun.
From the two Demon Emperors at the peak of the fourteenth level to the young talents with the greatest potential who had yet to cultivate beyond the ninth level, none of them were left out. They were all present.
"The Heaven Swallowing Sea is remote and closed. News is slow, so my clan did not know in time that Chang 'an's Heavenly Army had arrived in the Nanzhan Department State. I, Shi Kun, am terrified. I beg for forgiveness, Your Majesty."
The patriarch of the Taotie Clan, Shi Kun, turned into human form and bowed to Zhang Dongyun.
Behind him, the Taotie Clan's elites who could transform also knelt on the ground.
The young juniors who could not transform into human form were all guarding outside the palace. They also knelt on all fours.
"I hope that the Heaven Swallowing Sea will be more well-informed in the future and walk ahead of the other Demon Clans," Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
Shi Kun hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely strive to be the first to atone for my sins."
Behind him, not to mention those with lower cultivation, even the fourteenth level elder, Tun Yun, was sweating profusely.
The Taoties who had transformed into human form knelt down again. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Dongyun did not make things difficult for these Taoties.
Traitors had to be purged.
Those who sat on the fence and watched or even speculated could be allowed to exist and be accepted.
Of course, there was only one such opportunity.
Next, there were still some small noises left in the Nanzhan Department State. They could be cleared by the Taoties. Chang Bianhu would assist and supervise the battle.
As for Jie Feng, Lou Ning, and the others, they could be gradually moved out of the Nanzhan Department State.
The Protector-General of the Central Plains, Lou Ning, was one thing. As the overseas Protector-General, Jie Feng could start preparing for the North Continent and Aparagodaniya Continent.
He did not have to start immediately, but he could make arrangements for various preparatory work.
As for Lou Ning, he could start preparing for the migration of people.
There were almost no humans in the Nanzhan Department State.
More than half of the demons that originally occupied this place had been killed by Chang 'an City.
With such a vacancy, they could naturally fill it with migrants.
This would be extremely beneficial to changing the foundation of the Southern Viewing Continent and controlling the Southern Viewing Continent.
Just like the Dong Sheng Divine Continent's Southern Wilderness.
Of course, the people in this world and society also had the mindset that it was hard to leave their homeland.
To mass migrate, the difficulty of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent might be higher than the Nanzhan Department State.
The Nanzhan Department State's main problem was safety. This could be used to create miracles.
The problem in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent was the mindset of the people. Zhang Dongyun had no intention of using pressure to rule.
Hence, the next test was Lou Ning, the newly appointed Protector-General of the Central Plains.
As for the Western Region, which was the westernmost part of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, it was not suitable for migration.
Many of the demons in the Southern Wilderness had migrated to the Western Region. The locals and demons would need time to settle down.
The new Protector-General of the Western Region was the Tree Demon Cang Hui, the leader of the Youhuai race.
The impact of the demons becoming the ruler of the Western Region on the locals also needed time to settle down.
For the Western Region, it was more important to manage their own internal affairs. Regarding the migration to the Nanzhan Department State, they would first consider the Central Plains.
As for the Southern Wilderness, it was also a mix of humans and demons. However, it was previously occupied by the Demon Sect. Now that they trusted the Southern Wilderness Protector-General and the Daoist Zhenren Cheng Yang, the situation in the Southern Wilderness was more stable than the Western Region.
Even for the remaining demons in the Southern Wilderness, if they had to choose a human as their superior, Zhenren Cheng Yang would be the best choice.
However, the new Southern Wilderness Protector-General was still overseas setting up formations and could not return to the Southern Wilderness.
Zhang Dongyun delegated all the tasks to his subordinates. Then, he relaxed and became a boss.
He started to focus on his own cultivation.
Just like that, time flew by quickly. Time passed in a flash.
Around half a year later, under the rule of Chang 'an, the situation in the Nanzhan Department State became more and more stable.
And in the depths of the Daming Palace in Chang 'an, someone suddenly let out a long howl.
Under the effect of Invincible City, this howl could only be heard by the owner himself.
In the empty central hall, there was only one person standing alone.
It was Zhang Dongyun.
The Qi and blood in his body surged as he let out a long howl.
Above his head, there were eight real cauldrons and one illusory cauldron.
These cauldrons were all condensed from Zhang Dongyun's own Qi and blood.
Among them, one of the cauldrons, which seemed to be illusory at first, finally became solid after Zhang Dongyun let out a long howl.
Thus, the nine cauldrons were erected.
Zhang Dongyun's howl stopped.
He looked forward and suddenly felt that his vision was much wider than before.
It was as if he could see everything within a hundred miles.
This was not a blessing from Invincible City. It was his own cultivation that gradually saw through the secrets of space.
From now on, his Qi and blood could almost break through the void.
Within a certain range, space was almost non-existent to him.
He stepped out and almost teleported.
This was the twelfth level of martial arts cultivation, also known as the third level of Martial Emperor, Sweeping the Eight Wastelands.
Erecting the nine cauldrons and sweeping through everything was a crucial step for martial artists to improve their cultivation.
Before this, Zhang Dongyun had erected the cauldrons of Qi and blood. He had gone from one cauldron to many, then from the eighth cauldron to the ninth cauldron.
Now, the nine cauldrons were finally complete.
His cultivation realm had also reached a new level.
Slowly, Zhang Dongyun exhaled and stopped.
The nine cauldrons of Qi and blood dissipated like smoke. Then, all the smoke was absorbed into Zhang Dongyun's body.
He returned to the throne above and finally sat down.
He did not know how long he had been cultivating. It was as if time had passed without him noticing.
During this period of time, Zhang Dongyun was busy cultivating. The others in Chang 'an were not idle either.
At the Hall of Heavenly Works, Chen Yu and Ma Kun had successfully built a mine in the depths of the Far East Sea and started to mine the Sea Brilliance Jade on a large scale.
Lou Ning did a good job. He presided over the migration of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent to the Nanzhan Section Continent and achieved great results.
His progress was so smooth that he had to thank Cheng Yang Zhenren and Gu Pu.
A few months ago, Cheng Yang Zhenren used Daoist arrays to pave the way from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent to the Nanzhan Section Continent.
The Desolate Sea, which was originally filled with storms and dangerous to most cultivators, became peaceful.
Ordinary ships could sail on the surface of the sea.
Of course, the distance between the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and the Nanzhan Section Continent was too far. If it was an ordinary ship, it would take a long time to travel.
Under the rule of Chang 'an, they had been developing large ships with Daoist arrays.
Previously, they had put in a lot of effort for the navigation between the five realms of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
Now, they were improving on the original foundation.
Navigation between the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and the Nanzhan Section Continent was no longer a problem.
Following closely behind was the business of trade, which was once again put on the agenda.
Lou Ning and Lou Yu worked together. The Dong Sheng Divine Continent had successfully built more than one fleet to sail to the Nanzhan Section Continent.
All of this was continuously changing the original ecology of the Nanzhan Section Continent in various ways.
Although there were still conflicts between the humans who migrated there and the demons who were born and raised in the Nanzhan Section Continent, the situation was slowly improving.
Speaking of which, everyone had to thank Gu Pu.
This peak Martial Emperor, the Sect Leader of the Shushan Sect, was really hardworking and did not complain. He was not picky and stayed on the sea for more than half a year to ensure that no one disturbed the navigation between the two continents.
