Chapter 73: Family Relocation, Eight Million Spirit Stones!
Chapter 73: Family Relocation, Eight Million Spirit Stones!
And so, Dao Lord Xi Ti was enticed. Under the manipulation of Emperor Lu, he signed a covenant with the Heavenly Dao of the Zhan Clan. Afterward, using the spatial treasure provided by Emperor Lu, Dao Lord Xi Ti created this small secret realm. This allowed him to completely conceal the spatial crack that connected the two clan continents.
For three hundred years, Dao Lord Xi Ti used Emperor Lu's methods to expand the spatial crack from its original length of two to three meters to ten thousand meters. He didn't even hesitate to sacrifice his twelve disciples. He left Chu Mo alive to act as a spy, making his covert operations more convenient.
Unexpectedly, several months ago, the Heavenly Dao Tribulation suddenly descended upon Baoshan Prefecture. If not for him suppressing the power of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation, it would have been annihilated long ago. When Tu Qi and Luo Shenji arrived, there probably wouldn't have been any living beings left in the prefecture. This was something he didn't want to see, as if it had happened, powerful humans might come to settle the score.
Under the watchful gaze of powerful existences, Dao Lord Xi Ti wasn't sure if his created secret realm could remain hidden. However, the blessings brought by the Heavenly Dao calamity caused cultivators from the surrounding lands to flock here. This gave Dao Lord Xi Ti a headache, especially concerning Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Who knew if he might be exposed in case of an accident?
That's why he sent True Lord Chu Mo out to quickly take control of Baoshan Prefecture. This way, he would have the authority to expel these cultivators. However, he hadn't expected his disciple to be so useless. How long had it been since he left? He had been killed by someone.
Of course, Dao Lord Xi Ti didn't know what Chu Mo had said before dying. Otherwise, he would have been furious to the point of spitting blood.
"Well, he was just a Nascent Soul Ant. Now, with the passage between the two continents completely stable, only one step remains. These minor issues are no longer significant. In another month and a half, I'll be ready for the grand sacrifice. By then, I will sacrifice billions of living beings to stabilize the passage on my side.
"I can also use the power of blood souls to deceive the Ancestral Formation covering the Luo Dao God. By then, the passage's strength should be sufficient to transport beings in the Unity Realm. Tens of thousands of beings in the Unity Realm will simultaneously attack the Luo God Dao. In less than six hours, all the beings in Luo God Dao will be sacrificed.
"Enhance the strength of the passage and bring in more powerful demonic beings. Using Luo God Dao as the center, the wind will engulf the entire human continent!"
A cold and majestic voice slowly emanated from the spatial crack.
Hearing this, Dao Lord Xi Ti's eyes showed a trace of hesitation. He knew that by then, he would become the sinner of all humanity. Perhaps none of them would survive, and he would be the one responsible for destroying all of humanity.
However, Dao Lord Xi Ti hesitated for only a moment.
'Once a person cared only about themselves, the devil would steal everything last!'
This was a line in the outline of his divine transformation cultivation technique.
What did it have to do with the extinction of humanity? As long as he could tread the path of higher cultivation, even if the vast starry sea was destroyed, what did it matter?
…
In the outside world, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. The turmoil in Renhuai County had completely subsided, but the number of cultivators coming to Renhuai County had not diminished. On the contrary, it increased day by day.
Now, the Lin family's reputation in Renhuai County had already spread far and wide. Forces who were Second Rank or higher came to pay their respects and offer gifts. In half a month, the Lin family had made thorough preparations for their relocation.
"Boom!"
One day, the entire Renhuai County trembled. Countless cultivators and mortals raised their heads in astonishment and looked toward the direction of the Azure Mountain.
There, a monstrous serpent, stretching over a million meters, coiled in the sky, its tail wrapped around the green hills. It had even uprooted the thousand zhang tall Azure Mountain. Faintly, many Lin family cultivators on the Azure Mountain could be seen with excited expressions.
"Moving Mountains and Filling Seas! This is the true feat of moving mountains and filling seas. The images recorded in the books did not deceive me."
Inside the county town of Renhuai, an elderly scholar beamed with excitement. Around him, numerous ordinary people nodded in agreement. While cultivators were not rare to them, they often saw them. However, the scene before their eyes was enough to etch into their memories.
Even the cultivators in the sky were left utterly dumbfounded, to say nothing of ordinary folks. Clearly, for these cultivators, the sight before them was nothing short of a miracle.
Lin Xuan sat in the sky, looking down at the territory of Renhuai County. He had come to a stop at the Spirit Pool behind Qingfeng Town. This was the first place he had visited when he came. After some contemplation, he decided not to take it with him, considering it a kind of tribute to this place.
Accompanied by the trembling of the heavens and earth, Lin Xuan's massive figure detached completely from Renhuai County. Below, countless ordinary people watched in amazement. In Azure Heaven Market, many cultivators exclaimed in awe.
"He's gone. I never thought that I would witness such a scene in my lifetime, moving mountains and filling seas!"
"Before I embarked on the path of cultivation, I thought that as long as I became an immortal, I could achieve the celestial figures described in the books. It was only after I became a cultivator that I realized that the scenes in the books can only be achieved by true immortals. Unfortunately, the Azure Heaven Mountain Lin family has such an immortal!"
In front of the Tianyuan Pavilion, Shi Ruishan sighed. Beside him, Shi Hao's face was filled with regret. His grandfather had paved the way for him, but he hadn't appreciated it. If he had left the gifts and went to make friends with several of Lin's disciples, with this relationship, his future path in the sect would be smooth, right? Unfortunately, regrets were useless.
Shi Ruishan watched his grandson and shook his head.
…
"The Lin family went from a Qi Condensation family to a Golden Core family in just half a year."
An old man in the Azure Heaven Market lamented.
"Indeed, this is truly the time for the Lin family to rise. With the support of the Ancestral Temple, the power of a Fourth Rank Nascent Soul is only the bottom line for the Lin family."
"Damn it, I can't believe I didn't participate when the Lin family was recruiting. Otherwise, with the Lin family's help, I could have soared to new heights."
A Foundation Establishment cultivator said regretfully.
"This is fate. I can only say that we didn't have that fate."
A white-haired senior casually spoke while puffing on his spiritual smoke.
'Old man, if your daughter hadn't married someone from the Lin family and left, I'd like to see if you could be so carefree.'
The people around him despised him in their hearts, but their eyes were filled with envy. Because he married her good daughter with the Lin family, and directly obtained a shop in Azure Heaven Market. Moreover, it was said that his daughter had promised that once the Lin family settled in Baoshan Prefecture, she would ask her husband to bring her family over.
This old man spoke casually but was extremely proud. This was what it meant to have a rich husband.
"Speaking of which, do you know how the ownership of Renhuai County was settled?"
A cultivator asked curiously.
"The other day, I heard from the Lin family disciple that the ownership of the entire Renhuai County was taken back to Nine Peaks Sect, and the price was eight million spirit stones. Moreover, Lin family didn't actively ask for it; Nine Peaks Sect only sent it over after knowing they were leaving."
The white-haired senior said leisurely.
The people around were all stunned. They naturally knew that the Lin family disciple mentioned by the white-haired senior was his wealthy son in law. Therefore, the credibility of this news should be reliable.
Eight million spirit stones, although this price was absolutely nothing compared to the resources of the entire Renhuai County, Lin family was moving to an outer palace. Looking at history, most of these powers would not provide any compensation. After all, if a power wanted to leave, which superior sect would care about them?
In any case, the territory of each place would have fixed assets like Azure Heaven Market. You would not be able to take them away.
Moreover, it's impossible for everyone to have an existence like Grand Ancestor of Lin family. Even their own spirit mountains and the veins above cannot be moved. If they can't take their treasures with them, they think of destroying them, which would utterly ruin the force's reputation.
No matter which prefecture or city, who would dare to accept forces like those? Rejection would have already occurred even before they've moved in. It's basically impossible for them to develop in the future. Moreover, they have to worry that once discovered, they'll face retaliation from higher-ranking sects. Annihilation of clans and sects would be a lighter punishment.
Unlike the Lin family, Nine Peaks Sect, upon learning that they intended to move away, voluntarily gifted them eight million spirit stones.
"Alas, I can only say that this is quite normal. Why don't you take a look at how many forces have visited the Lin family over the past half-month and what their levels are? Even a fool knows that now is the time to be on good terms with the Lin family. In my opinion, Nine Peaks Sect's actions are still too lenient."
A Foundation Building cultivator couldn't help but shake his head.
Hearing this, the people around fell silent.
Yes, they had witnessed this over the past half-month. Nearly all the Golden Core Third Rank forces and Foundation Building Second Rank forces from the surrounding prefectures had visited at least once. This was because the journey was too far, and time was limited.
When the Lin family moved to Baoshan Prefecture, the forces that would visit them next would be endless. It might even include Fourth Rank Nascent Soul forces.
"Darn it, I've decided to move!"
Suddenly, a Ninth Layer Qi Condensation young man stated firmly.
The surrounding cultivators all looked at him with strange gazes.
"If you want to move, then move. Why are you speaking so loudly in this situation?"
The young man knew that his actions were too impulsive and quickly explained, "I mean, I want to leave Renhuai County and go to Baoshan Prefecture. I have a feeling that the place where the Lin family is located is a land of opportunity. As long as I closely follow them, there will be many chances. I don't want to be stuck in Qi Condensation for my whole life. I want to reach higher realms."
"Young man, good idea. However, do you know how far it is from here to Baoshan Prefecture?"
A Foundation Building cultivator shook his head and said, "Even for me, it takes more than half a month on the journey, not to mention the dangers along the way.
"You're just at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation. If you stop and go along the way, it will take at least two or three months. If there are delays along the way, it could take half a year.
"If anything unexpected happens again, you're done for! Who doesn't know that there are many opportunities in big places, but there are also many dangers!"
The Foundation Building cultivator sighed. This sentence was also from his own experiences when he was young.
The Ninth Layer Qi Condensation young man didn't refute. He just turned around and walked firmly in the direction of the Lin family.
Seeing this, the Foundation Building cultivator didn't say anything more, just shook his head.
Young people were always so impetuous!
