Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 285 Lord of the Southwest! (five)
"Attack the branch of the Seven Sects Alliance?"

Master Black Abyss, Ancestor Jiuhua and Chen Xianhe suddenly changed their expressions when they heard this.

"Okay! We definitely believe in fellow Taoist Dugu!"

Master Black Abyss spoke first and agreed:
"We will definitely help you with this matter!"

The three of them have a sworn feud with the Seven Sects Alliance.

Many of the people who initially broke through the Liyuan Sect's mountain gate became members of the Seven Sects Alliance, not to mention the subsequent massacres of the three sects and one family by the Seven Sects Alliance.

Attacking the Dali branch of the Seven Sects Alliance would not only verify the authenticity of the news brought by Dugu Yan, but also let out a bad breath. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse.

"it is good!"

A smile appeared on Dugu Yan's face and he said:

"I have already sent a message to Ancestor Zhenyang and the others, and we have agreed to meet at Pingdu Mountain!"

"It's not too late, let's go now!"

soon:

Four powerful rays of escaping light penetrated the layers of formation spiritual light, flew up from the deepest part of the canyon, and cut through the sky.

"This……"

Many members of the Dugu family in the canyon looked at the four rays of light flying above their heads in shock, feeling the undisguised aura of the golden elixir, and they all looked at each other:

"Our Dugu family...when did we have four Jindan ancestors?"

Some people with quick minds seemed to have guessed something, and they suddenly looked surprised.

…………

Dali, Pingdu Mountain.

This majestic and famous mountain buries the best spiritual vein in Dali. It has survived countless winds and rains and changes in the current situation, and it still stands firm.

More than 2000 years ago, this was the place where the southwestern hegemon Wu Xing Sanren cultivated and built a Five Elements Palace. After the death of Wu Xing Sanren, many forces attached to the Five Elements Palace also disappeared.

For more than 1000 years, Dali often fell into chaos. Many sects and aristocratic families once occupied this place. You came and I came, and the king's flag changed on the city wall.

Until the first founder of Pingdu Clan, he established a sect here after killing powerful enemies and founded Pingdu Clan.

Pingdu Gate has been passed down for thousands of years and its reputation remains unshakable. Even the mountain was renamed Pingdu Mountain. The original name has long been forgotten and is lost in ancient books.

Decades ago:

Ancestor Qingxu subdued the three sects and became the uncrowned king of Dali. A Qingxu Palace was built here, making it the holy place that everyone in the world of Dali's immortality yearned for.

But not many years later, news came out that Patriarch Qingxu was trapped in a dangerous situation in Da Mo, and his life or death was unknown. Then the seven sect alliance emerged from the sky and quickly occupied the dominant position in the southwest.

The plaque of Qingxu Palace was removed and left almost intact, and it became the Dali Branch of the Seven Sects Alliance. It governs Dali and even the surrounding small countries and all the locations of the Seven Sects Alliance. The potential power that can be mobilized is extremely huge.

But now, no matter how much power this punishment forum can mobilize, facing the siege of the Jindan ancestors, it has become a joke.

"Quick! Go check it again!"

"All formation hubs must be used to the maximum extent..."

Li Yaosen, the branch director of the Seven Sects Alliance, dressed in rich attire, was pacing back and forth in the hall, shouting and issuing orders one after another.

It seemed that only doing this could slightly alleviate the fear and despair in his heart.

"Damn! My movements are still too slow!"

In Li Yaosen's heart, there was only endless regret at this moment:

"If I had been more decisive and courageous, I would have taken away the treasure trove accumulated here two days ago and flew away to Tianzhou!"

"When the time comes, I will be living happily in Tianzhou and have the hope of achieving the Golden Elixir. How could I end up in this situation?"

Of course, the Seven Sects Alliance also has its own news channels.

But after the headquarters was destroyed, the high-level combat power was completely lost, and even the seven mountain gates were given up, there was really no energy to worry about more branches, stations and other peripheral forces.

To be able to issue warnings and evacuation news to the more important sub-forums during the most dangerous evacuation process is already the most benevolent thing. It is impossible to conduct two-way communication or report more details.

As a result, Li Yaosen, who was in charge of the Dali branch, still couldn't believe it after receiving the news. He also suspected that someone was fabricating false news to frame him, so he did not escape immediately, but confirmed the news through other channels.

In two days, he finally confirmed the authenticity of the news, but the Jindan ancestors such as Lingyang Sect and Dugu Family also confirmed the authenticity of the news.

"I'm afraid it's really over now..."

As time went by, more and more Jindan Ancestors were seen gathering outside, their tyrannical auras undisguised, and the despair on Li Yaosen's face became more and more obvious.

The formation on Pingdu Mountain was originally arranged by Zhang Yao himself. With enough foundation-building monks stationed there, it was enough to withstand the attack of one or two golden elixir monks.

However, after the Seven Sects Alliance occupied the Qingxu Palace, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, they directly changed the formation beyond recognition, and the level of their internal formation masters was not as good as Zhang Yao's, so that after their changes, the power of the formation did not increase. Fall instead.

Furthermore, there are more than one or two Jindan ancestors besieging Pingdu Mountain now?
At this moment:

Over Pingdu Mountain.

"Friend Dugu."

Ancestor Zhenyang, Ancestor Sanshan, and "Ancestor Tianmang" who had just emerged from Dali in recent years, all looked at Dugu Yan, Master Black Abyss and the other four people in surprise.

"These should be the ones from Da Mo back then, right?"

The Patriarch of Sanshan glanced at Master Black Abyss and the other three, his expression moved slightly, and he asked.

"good."

With a faint smile on his face, Dugu Yan admitted openly.

"I have seen you fellow Taoists."

Master Heiyuan, Ancestor Jiuhua, and Chen Xianhe also greeted Ancestor Zhenyang and others one after another, and took the initiative to inform them of their names.

"You, the Dugu family, are so secretive!"

Ancestor Zhenyang sighed from the bottom of his heart:
"According to the time, when you protected these three great Taoist friends, the old guy Dugu Tianyi was still there, right?"

"If my prediction is good, maybe this is his decision?"

The age difference between him and Dugu Tianyi is only a few decades, and he is very familiar with this old friend and rival.

At critical moments, this person never lacks determination and courage. After the failure of the Five Elements Secret Realm, he was the first to support his plan, and then established the subsequent Dali pattern.

"Yes, Brother Dao's guess is correct."

The smile on Dugu Yan's face grew brighter:
"It's the work of our ancestors."

"Hey, that old guy is really lucky..."

Ancestor Zhenyang sighed, his mood a little complicated.

However, he quickly put away this emotion, discussed with many Jindan monks for a few words, and then all took action without hesitation!
"Boom!" "Boom!"...

A full seven golden elixir levels of supernatural powers and magic weapons bombarded down, landing heavily on the formation protecting Pingdu Mountain!

After the loud noise of the earth shattering, there was a brief stalemate for less than half an instant. The light curtain evolved from the formation cracked inch by inch, melting and disintegrating in an instant!

"Pfft!"

More than a dozen foundation-building monks who were stationed at key hubs suddenly suffered a backlash from the Qi machine. They vomited blood and were seriously injured. Some were even shocked to death by the aftermath!

"Do not!!"

Li Yaosen howled, but could only watch helplessly as several huge auras fell from the sky and fell straight into the former Qingxu Palace.After just a dozen breaths, the battle was over.

Facing the joint efforts of the seven Jindan Patriarchs, the guarding force of the Dali branch of the Seven Sects Alliance had no resistance at all and was simply crushed to death.

soon:

Everyone dismantled the remaining formations, opened the treasure house, and saw mountains of various spiritual objects, treasure materials, and spiritual stones, as well as sealed spiritual elixirs, spiritual weapons, and other items.

These things were originally shrouded under the monitoring formation at all times. Until a specific date, they would be loaded into dozens or hundreds of storage bags and transported to the Seven Sects Alliance headquarters in Damo by dedicated personnel.

"This group of beasts has ruined all our businesses in Dali's Immortal Realm. The things they collected within three years can actually be piled up into a small mountain!"

The ancestor of Sanshan looked ugly and was quite angry.

The laws and rules of the Seven Sects Alliance are all designed to maintain their rule and protect their interests. Naturally, their attitude towards the immortal cultivators of the southwestern countries is mainly to squeeze them.

Now that they saw the mountains of property and resources in the Dali branch, everyone cursed a few times and began to discuss how to deal with them.

Ancestor Zhenyang was the first to speak, proposing to divide all these things as compensation for everyone.

Among these properties and resources, there are also some third-level spiritual objects that are useful to everyone. In addition, the total amount is large and the value is not small.

"I'm afraid this is not good..."

The ancestor of Sanshan hesitated:

"In the Qingxu Palace back then, there were a lot of treasures that the three of us paid tribute to Patriarch Qingxu."

"Although those things were all looted by the Seven Sects Alliance, the Seven Sects Alliance occupied the Qingxu Palace, and these property resources were piled in the palace's treasure house. If the Qingxu Patriarch becomes dissatisfied with us because of this..."

"Hahaha……"

Dugu Yan gave a long laugh and said:

"Brother Sanshan, I'm afraid you haven't understood what Brother Zhenyang really means, right?"

"These financial resources were taken from us by the Seven Sects Alliance. The bad debt back then had nothing to do with us, so we can just take advantage of this to clear it up."

"As for the tribute from back then, we can definitely turn it over again. By the way, when we meet Ancestor Qingxu, we can also tell us about our difficulties..."

"exactly!"

The ancestor of Sanshan also reacted suddenly and said continuously:
"Your method is better, then it's settled!"

The three people including Ancestor Tianmang and Master Heiyuan naturally had no objections. After everyone simply counted them, they divided up these financial resources on the spot.

With the experience of sharing the spoils together, the relationship between Zhenyang Patriarch and the others and Master Black Abyss became slightly closer. After a brief discussion, everyone directly sealed the entire Qingxu Palace and headed straight for Damo.

And almost at the same time:

Golden elixir monks from Dayu and Dacang also embarked on their journey to Damo.

…………

Damo, the former site of the headquarters of the Seven Sects Alliance.

Half a month has passed since the battle that day.

In the past half month, Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan were mainly busy with two things -

The first is to take over the legacy of the Seven Sects Alliance, including the large amount of treasures and resources sealed in the headquarters, which were all divided up by Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan.

Due to the hasty evacuation of the Shanmen of Shen Tianzong, Changluo Xu Family, etc., it was naturally impossible to completely take away everything, so Zhang Yao took the trouble to make a trip himself.

Not only these relics, but also the Shanmen Formation itself is quite valuable, but considering the follow-up plan, Zhang Yao kept it for the time being.

The second is to speed up the disintegration of the remaining forces of the Seven Sects Alliance.

Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan, after each traveling around Da Mo, greatly accelerated the entire settlement process.

Now in Da Mo itself, although only half a month has passed, the remnants of the seven sect alliances in the world of immortality are already the rats that everyone wants to beat.

At the time of change, people's hearts are in a state of flux.

In just half a month, countless monks, sects, and aristocratic families have tried to cling to the two ancestors to try for a bright future.

However, Zhang Yao didn't bother to pay attention to these idlers at all, and left them all to the foundation-building monks who had previously run errands for them. Ancestor Mingyuan was personally responsible for this.

According to the two people’s plan:
Ancestor Moyuan will rebuild the Liyuan Sect, and will sit in Moyuan for a long time in the future, presiding over the maintenance and development of this treasure land.

Zhang Yao will be responsible for formulating new rules after meeting with the Jindan monks from the southwest countries, and then return to Qingxu Palace to take charge and intimidate the entire southwest.

Of course, he can't stay in Qingxu Palace all his life, but there is no need to be trapped in one place. He only needs to sit there for a few years and wait for the situation to stabilize, and then he can move freely.

"Crash..."

Zhang Yao shook his sleeves and dropped a dozen storage bags.

After the battle that day, the richest loot was actually the storage bags left after the death of these golden elixir monks.

However, he and Ancestor Mingyuan have been busy for half a month, and now they have some free time to carefully inspect and count these harvests.

In that battle that day, more than 20 golden elixir monks died. Among them, Ancestor Ming Yuan only took away six golden elixir monks' storage bags, and the rest were Zhang Yao's trophies.

This naturally includes the net worth of the "Shenxing Heavenly King" Murong Xiao, Murong Hai, the head of the Changluo Xu family, and several other late-stage Jindan powerhouses.

"Good guy, these Shen Tianzong Golden Pill monks are really rich..."

As each storage bag was opened, even Zhang Yao, who was extremely wealthy, was slightly shocked.

The golden elixir monks from the Central Plains countries are pretty good, but the net worth of the few golden elixir monks from Shen Tianzong is really outrageous.

"The nine mansions of Tianzhou are truly the holy land of immortality."

Zhang Yao sighed with emotion, and his yearning for Tianzhou once again arose in his heart.

Even though he was actually quite familiar with the various mansions in Tianzhou in Liu Cang's memory, how could the memory compare to seeing it in person?

"There's no need to rush. You'll have to go sooner or later anyway."

Zhang Yao quickly calmed down and continued to open storage bags one by one and count the harvest this time.

With his current vision and knowledge, it would be difficult for him to be moved by ordinary spiritual objects, rare treasures, magic weapons, secret treasures, or even top-level techniques.

Unless it is a fourth-level spiritual object, a Nascent Soul-level magic weapon, or an ancient spiritual treasure, it is possible for him to pay attention to it.

finally:

More than a dozen storage bags were opened, leaving only Murong Xiao's.

He deliberately left Murong Xiao's storage bag in the last one, and he was naturally looking forward to it.

"With Murong Xiao's tyrannical strength, maybe he has ancient spiritual treasures in his collection?"

"Even though there is little hope for ancient spiritual treasures, there should be fourth-level spiritual objects, or top-notch treasures of heaven and earth..."

Zhang Yao's mind was racing with thoughts, so he couldn't hold it back and quickly opened Murong Xiao's storage bag.

But what he expected was:

With a sweep of his mind, he took a clear look at the many complicated items in the storage bag. He had not found any ancient spiritual treasures or fourth-level spiritual objects, but he found something unexpected.

"Um?!"

Zhang Yao's expression changed:
"Murong Xiao...why does he have this thing?!"
