Qingzhou, the southern region.
Amidst a continuous range of mountains, palaces and pavilions are nestled among the lush green forests.
This is the headquarters of the Blood Spirit Sect, the largest sect in Qingzhou.
The sect master, Yan Shan, is a thin old man with prominent cheekbones and sharp eyes, giving off a shrewd and fierce aura.
Back in the main hall.
Yan Shan's face darkened completely as he had just returned from the Xuanqing Sect and met with Yan Changkong.
In Qingzhou, the Blood Spirit Sect and the Xuanqing Sect are known to be at odds, it is not a secret.
All the major sects are aware of it.
Due to their close proximity, the two sects inevitably engage in fierce battles to compete for various resources.
However, in these conflicts, the Blood Spirit Sect usually has the upper hand.
But this time, after the exposure of the Immortal Great Emperor's diary, the Xuanqing Sect rose to power like thunder.
Just by selling information about the Immortal Great Emperor, the Xuanqing Sect was able to cultivate a large number of young disciples.
With this continuous growth, the gap between the two sides will be narrowed at a visible speed.
After all, resources are crucial for cultivation.
On the side, the Blood Spirit Sect's elder shouted angrily, "This Yan Changkong really doesn't know his place. Does he really think that one person's path can lead to heaven?"
He continued with anger, "We, the Blood Spirit Sect, were willing to form an alliance with him, but he dared to refuse?"
Yan Shan's face became even more terrifyingly dark upon hearing this.
After pondering for a moment, his sharp gaze fell on the elder Lei Lie, and he coldly said, "I'm afraid that Yan Changkong, this old man, has other intentions!"
Lei Lie's face turned solemn as he asked, "Does he dare to make a move against our Blood Spirit Sect?"
"Who can guarantee that?" Yan Shan lowered his head in contemplation, his eyes constantly flickering with light.
"Yan Changkong smiles on the surface, but he has always refused our request for an alliance. This is enough for us to take action!"
Yan Shan's killing intent surged in his eyes, "We cannot sit idly by!"
The elder Lei Lie, with his wrinkled face, showed a serious expression and worriedly said, "But the Xuanqing Sect is currently in the limelight. If we were to make a move against them, it might..."
"When did I say we would make a move against the Xuanqing Sect?"
"What does the sect master mean?"
Yan Shan's mouth curved into a cunning smile, "It's normal for Yan Changkong to have hostility towards us! After all, our relationship hasn't been good during the thousand years he has been the sect master."
"But what if we had a different sect master?"
Yan Shan continued, "We can completely support an elder who has no hostility towards us to take over."
Lei Lie still had some concerns, "What about the Immortal Great Emperor?"
"Don't worry!"
"The Immortal Great Emperor only cares about whether the Xuanqing Sect still exists or not, who becomes the sect master? In his eyes, what does it matter?"
Yan Shan, with his deep scheming, said, "As long as he returns and the Xuanqing Sect still exists, who would care about Yan Changkong?"
After a moment of silence.
Lei Lie understood the key point and a smile appeared on his face as he praised, "The sect master is wise!"
"However, Yan Changkong has already reached the Soul Formation stage, it won't be easy to deal with him without leaving any traces."
Yan Shan nodded and sighed, "We need to carefully plan our actions, and I cannot personally make a move."
"Let's find someone from the Shadow Killers to do it!"
The two of them discussed and worked out the specific details.
They also decided that even if they wanted to get rid of Yan Changkong, it wouldn't be possible now.
Wait for ten or eight years, let the limelight pass, and then it won't attract as much attention.
An hour later.
Elder Lei Lie sighed and gritted his teeth, "Why is the Immortal Great Emperor from the Xuanqing Sect? If he were from our Blood Spirit Sect, we would have unified Qingzhou by now!"
Yan Shan glared at him and said, "As long as our Blood Spirit Sect is mentioned in the Immortal Great Emperor's diary, I will be satisfied."
"Let the entire cultivation world know the prestige of our Blood Spirit Sect!"
Lei Lie pondered for a moment and realized that it made sense.
If the Immortal Great Emperor's diary could mention their Blood Spirit Sect while at it, it would bring great benefits.
At the very least, there would definitely be more disciples coming to pay their respects to the sect.
Due to the influence of the Xuanqing Sect, the recruitment of new disciples by the major sects in Qingzhou has been greatly affected.
The Blood Spirit Sect, as the number one sect, is no exception.
---
Xuanqing Sect.
At this moment, it is a completely different scene.
A long line of people stretches in front of the mountain gate, these are cultivators who have come from various places to join the Xuanqing Sect.
There are those from Qingzhou as well as from other states.
Even disciples from ancient tribes and immortal dynasties have come to join the Xuanqing Sect.
This is no small honor for a sect.
Moreover, this has great benefits for the Xuanqing Sect as well, as it can quickly establish deep friendships with various major forces.
"Hahaha!"
Elder Chen Xiu stood in front of the mountain gate, looking at the sea of people before him, laughing until his eyes could hardly be seen.
This kind of grand occasion, I'm afraid it has only happened a few times since the establishment of the Xuanqing Sect.
He could actually witness it with his own eyes and personally preside over it!
This is a significant milestone in the history of the sect.
Such a grand occasion is usually only seen when top sects or holy lands are recruiting new disciples.
Despite the repeated emphasis on the talent requirements for new disciples, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of many young cultivators.
The Immortal Great Emperor!
This is simply a golden signboard.
To join the Xuanqing Sect, at the very least, one would become a fellow disciple of the Great Emperor.
After a while, a disciple of the sect came forward with a bitter smile and said, "Elder Chen, we have repeatedly emphasized the requirements for talent and aptitude, but the number of people who have passed the test far exceeds our budget."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu also showed a wry smile.
He didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated.
For the sect, being able to recruit so many young disciples with exceptional talent is undoubtedly a great thing.
With time, the cultivation of these highly talented disciples will improve, and the strength of the Xuanqing Sect will also rise.
After all, the younger generation is the hope of the sect.
But the problem is, all of this is happening too quickly, and the Xuanqing Sect is now overcrowded.
At this time, Yan Changkong had appeared behind them without anyone noticing and said in a deep voice, "Then, starting from the next batch, we will raise the requirements for talent even higher!"
This is a necessary choice.
Yan Changkong hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "Also, our current territory does not match our development speed!"
Elder Chen Xiu's expression changed, and he asked, "Master, are you saying that we should expand our territory?"
This is not a small matter.
All the suitable cultivation sites in Qingzhou have long been divided up by hundreds of sects, big and small.
What remains are only places with thin spiritual energy, which are not suitable for long-term cultivation.
Yan Changkong nodded and said, "We should take back the territories that were once taken from us!"
Upon hearing this, several elders around them showed excited expressions.
As the sect master, Yan Changkong has always valued peace.
The impression he gives to others is even considered weak.
As a result, the Xuanqing Sect has lost a lot of territory and has been divided up by the Blood Spirit Sect.
Now, they can finally seek revenge.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Changkong said, "However, we need to carefully consider who to target first."
"We need to make a name for ourselves!"
Elder Chen nodded, "That's right!"
Meanwhile...
Jiang Youlong and the others have already piloted a huge airship and arrived above the Yunluo Mountain Range.
Looking around, the continuous mountains resemble giant dragons lying on the ground.
The undulating mountain ridges are like the spines of these dragons.
From time to time, earth-shattering roars of monstrous beasts can be heard from the mountains, creating a terrifying momentum.
Or there are astonishing fluctuations, and large areas of forests collapse like a torrent...
Jiang Youlong withdrew his gaze and looked solemnly at the white-haired old man beside him, saying, "This is the Yunluo Mountain Range. Mu Lao, I leave everything to you."
Upon hearing this, Hua Hongyi and Zuo Qingtian also looked at him with serious expressions.
They saw that the old man, Mu Lao, was dressed in a black robe, with white hair floating around him, giving him an ethereal and dignified appearance.
He was enveloped in a mysterious aura that made it impossible to see his true face. Even standing there, he gave people a sense of presence and absence.
This person is the powerful figure worshipped by the Jiang family.
Not only has he reached the mid-stage of Void Refining realm in his cultivation, but he is also proficient in the divine art of causality.
He can deduce cause and effect and calculate the flaws in others' techniques.
In a real fight, ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Void Refining realm are simply no match for him.
