"We can be considered old rivals. We know the root cause. Soldiers are valuable and quick. I will take the people from Shanshan Hall to set off first. Later, you summon the foundation-building Qi-training monks in the sect and march towards the border of Lei Kingdom. Maybe we will Enter the rock country and have a fierce fight with the person who shakes the mountain top."
Chu Zuoshu smiled confidently, and then began to lead Yue Zutao and Chen Mobai back to Shandian.
[Originally, I wanted to let you practice with peace of mind, and then wait until the sharp edge is refined before unsheathing the light to chill the entire Eastern Wasteland. 】
Chen Mobai, who was about to leave just now, suddenly heard the sighing voice of the head Meng Hong.
【It’s just the right time! 】
Chen Mobai smiled and replied to Meng Hong, then turned around and left the Shenmu Temple.
"It's really the sword cultivator's temperament!"
Cang Qi on the side said with emotion, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound transmission between the two.
"Pass my edict, the highest level, to recruit all the monks in the sect!"
Meng Hong watched the three people from Shanshan Hall leave and spoke word by word to Lu Yi, the propagation department.
"Your order!"
After a while, the Shenmu Temple issued an order from the head, and all the monks who were not in retreat were summoned.
In just one stick of incense, dozens of spiritual lights descended from the sky and responded to the call.
Half a day later, all the twelve departments of the three palaces began to launch a general mobilization.
After three days of preparation, Xie Yuntian, the head of the Sword Training Department, first led a thousand Qi training disciples and drove twelve large Dharma boats toward the Thunder Kingdom.
Naturally, the Shenmu Sect's actions could not be concealed from the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.
After a while, many messenger talismans were sent out in various ways in the giant wood ridge.
…
Although Shanshanding, one of the seven major sects in the Eastern Wasteland, has been inherited for thousands of years, it was just an ordinary first-class sect a long time ago.
Before Ji Zhenshi formed the elixir, the peak of Shanshanshan was when he was building four foundations in one discipline.
Within the Rock Kingdom, there are some immortal cultivating families and sects whose power is no less powerful than Shanding Shanding, and the Ji family is one of them.
The turning point came three hundred years ago.
The Ji family discovered a mine of Kongming Stone at the junction of their family and Shanshan Mountain.
At that time, the Ji family's foundation-building ancestor was also a man with far-sighted vision. Knowing that this matter could never be hidden from Shanshan Mountain, he personally went to talk to the four major foundation-building companies in Shanshan Mountain and frankly announced the matter.
After that, the entire Ji family was integrated into Shanshan Mountain.
Ji Zhenshi was the most outstanding genius in the Ji family's spiritual roots at that time. He became the head of Shanshan Mountain and sat down. He successfully built the foundation with the help of the resources of the sect and family, and began to gradually rise to prominence.
In the next hundred years, he cultivated to the point of perfecting the foundation building, and then used the unearthed veins of Kongming Stone to go to realms outside the Eastern Wasteland in exchange for pill-forming spiritual objects.
And Ji Zhenshi is also a genius, and he successfully formed the elixir in one go.
Then, step by step, he developed and expanded the Shanshan Mountain, suppressed and collected the other immortal cultivating families and small sects in the entire Rock Kingdom, and became the Eastern Wilderness sect.
Even fifty years ago, when the Five Elements Sect was divided due to civil strife, it occupied the Xiao Kingdom, which borders the Rock Kingdom and was previously within the Five Elements Sect's sphere of influence.
"Ji Zhenshi used his family to annex the entire Shanshan Mountain. He is an out-and-out tyrant. However, the current huge situation is all supported by him alone. As long as he dies, everything will fall apart."
On the Dharma Ark, Chen Mobai asked Yue Zutao about the power of Shanshan Mountain.
After the latter took the fruit of the Immortality Tree, his cultivation was locked. In addition to various miscellaneous studies, he also spent time to gain an in-depth understanding of the other major sects in the Eastern Wasteland, and talked about the history of Shanshanshan and Ji Zhenshi's fortune.
On this dharma boat, there are a total of eight foundation-building monks, all of whom are members of the Shanshan Temple.
In addition to Chu Zuoshu, the master of the Good Reward Hall, there is also Fu Huakun, the inspector.
The rest are their six supervisors.
One of them is Chen Mobai's acquaintance, Shan Hongyi. He and Yue Zutao are the only two in the middle stage of foundation building.
Before Chu Zuoshu left, he also took a lot of good things from the treasure house of Shanshan Shanshan Hall, and asked Luo Xueer, the deputy hall master, to make up for the process.
Among them is an eight-door blue light formation, which is a third-level mid-level formation. It requires eight foundation-building monks to work together. It contains three changes. If it is used with the full power of the formation flag formation, it can even be used within a short time. Confront the Golden elixir monk.
If the formation flags of this formation were matched with tree species, they would be even more powerful. Chu Zuoshu, as the master of the reward palace in charge of the sect's treasure house, would naturally not forget the tree species when he took the formation.
Not only did he get a third-level Golden Sun tree seed for himself, but he also gave it to the seven foundation-building monks traveling with him. Each of them received a second-level Qingyang tree seed.
When setting off, Chen Mobai looked at the Qingyang tree seed in his hand and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
He was still thinking about how to get one from Yue Zutao in the future, but he didn't expect to get it so easily now.
Although these are the fighting materials distributed to them by the sect in name, if the war is over in the future, they will need to be returned to the sect's treasure house.
But at least it's theirs to use now.
After getting the tree seeds, the people who followed Chu Zuoshu became even more motivated.
When practicing the Eight Gate Golden Light Formation, they were all very active.
While they were resting while practicing the formation on the Dharma Ark, they stood in two circles.
"With the power of a sect that shakes the top of the mountain, it will definitely not be able to withstand our Shenmu Sect. Is it possible that the other major sects in the East Wasteland will help Ji Zhenshi behind the scenes or even directly?"
Chen Mobai expressed his doubts, and Yue Zutao nodded and said the key.
"In the past, when the Five Elements Sect was the dominant family, they would hug each other for warmth in Huitian Valley, Shanshan Mountain, Chuixue Palace, and Mount Liujia. The Jindan ancestors of these four families could be considered to have a life-long friendship."
"In other words, our Shenmu Sect is very likely to face the four major sects of the Eastern Wasteland this time?"
"This is the worst case scenario, but Huitian Valley has always been neutral, and there is the Xingtian Chamber of Commerce behind them. They only want to earn spiritual stones and will basically not participate in this kind of thing. If it is just the three major sects, we and Jinguangya Working together is enough to resist."
In other words, Shenmu Sect is mentally prepared for a battle with the other three major sects.
When Chen Mobai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that in the Tianhe world, people are really accustomed to things like fighting.
The monks here seem to have been instilled with the concept that only by fighting can they reach a higher level.
Jianguo is separated from Lei Kingdom by the Cloud Kingdom and the Snow Kingdom, so the shortest distance is naturally across the Snow Kingdom.
However, that was the territory of Chuixue Palace. Under the circumstances that the three major sects might join forces, Chu Zuoshu naturally would not throw himself into the trap. He went around to Yun Kingdom and then to Lei Kingdom.
Fortunately, there was a magic boat along the way, and they also needed time to master the eight-door blue light formation, so it took five days and five nights before they flew to the Thunder Kingdom.
The first stop of Lei Kingdom, and also the front line of the battle with Shanshan Mountain, was the location of the spirit stone mine.
Fenglang Prefecture, Rolling Thunder Mountain.
The foundation-building ancestors of the four major immortal cultivating families in the Lei Kingdom led hundreds of Qi-training monks to respectfully welcome the Shenmu Sect's dharma boat.
Eight rays of spiritual light fell from the sky, and Chu Zuoshu and the other eight people had already landed on the open space.
"Lian Chenghai has met Palace Master Chu, but he didn't expect you to come here in person. This Rolling Thunder Mountain is really full of glory."
A tall male cultivator with a purple complexion, a wide face, big ears, and a tall figure came out.
He seemed to know Chu Zuoshu and brought the other three foundation-building monks over to say hello.
"The guard of our Shenmu Sect was killed in Lei Kingdom, and two inspectors also disappeared here. If you can't give me an answer that satisfies me, I'm afraid the immortal cultivating families in Lei Kingdom will need to be replaced."
However, Chu Zuoshu calmly said words that made all the Lei Kingdom immortal cultivators present change their expressions.
No one doubts the authenticity of his words, because Shenmu Sect can do this.
"Bring it up!"
Lian Chenghai immediately signaled to the family monks behind him to press down the dozens of people they were pressing against.
"After we learned the news, we led people to surround the Gong family and the Zheng family, trying to rescue the monks of your sect. However, Gong Laogui and Zheng Wulu had already led a group of people to leave the Lei Kingdom through the teleportation array. However, We still intercepted thirty-six immortal cultivators who were related by blood from two families, as well as the spiritual stone treasures that were not taken away, they are all here."
While speaking, Lian Chenghai also took out a huge storage bag and handed it to Chu Zuoshu. The latter nodded, and Yue Zutao on the side immediately stepped forward to take it.
"These thirty-six people will be left to mine for now. If there is a war with Shanshan Mountain, let them take the blame and perform meritorious service."
Chu Zuoshu pronounced the fate of the Gong family and the Zheng family. He did not directly kill them all, but chose a more cruel path.
"Yes, I will let the family members personally guard them."
As Lian Chenghai spoke, he began to introduce the three foundation-building monks around him.
He is the Supreme Emperor of the other three major families in the Lei Kingdom. However, in the past, the ancestor who was very majestic and commanded the whole family, faced the eight people of the Shenmu Sect, but he did not dare to show his anger and accompanied them cautiously.
Chu Zuoshu: "How did Junior Brother Fu and Junior Brother Yuan disappear?"
Lian Chenghai: "That day, the two Supreme Sect Immortals sneaked into the Gong family and discovered the missing Zhenshou Luo, but they were discovered by Gong Laogui. After the latter decisively killed Zhenshou Luo, he and Zheng Wuli and others built a Ji chased and killed the two immortal elders Fu Yuan. Later, our four major families received a message from your sect and began to lead the family monks to surround the two families. However, they were a step too late and the core monks of the two major families escaped through the teleportation array. .”
When he said this, Lian Chenghai felt very ashamed.
However, without the actions of the four major families, Fu Xingzhou and Yuan Chiye would not have been able to escape so easily. In general, they have done what they should do.
"A hundred miles away from Rolling Thunder Mountain is Iwakuni's territory."
Chu Zuoshu stood at the highest point of Rolling Thunder Mountain, looked up at the hilly area with rugged rocks not far away, and spoke.
"Yes, when the Lingshi mine was discovered here before, Shanshan Mountain also wanted to intervene, but was repelled by Zhou Xianchang of the noble sect."
"What is the scale of this spirit stone mine?"
"About a hundred pieces of low-grade spiritual stone can be excavated every day. According to the exploration of the Guizong Spiritual Vein Department, it should be possible to mine about a dozen pieces."
Chen Mobai on the side heard this and made a mental calculation in his mind. In other words, this miniature spirit stone mine is worth two to three million spirit stones.
If this is the case, it may indeed arouse the covetousness of the mountain-shaking people.
However, mining the spirit stone mine is very troublesome. After all, the number of monks is limited, and if they are allowed to mine it, their practice will be delayed.
Generally, a team of monks is sent to station, and then strong mortals are asked to work. These are what the local immortal cultivating families are good at. They are basically earth emperors, and they can recruit thousands of mortals with a single order.
It is precisely because of this that although the Lei Kingdom is the territory of the Shenmu Sect and they can monopolize this spiritual stone mine by force, they still give 60% of the proceeds to the six major local cultivating families.
After all, this spiritual stone mine only produces 36,000 low-grade spiritual stones every year. There is no need to mobilize troops just for this little profit.
But for the local cultivating families, more than 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones every year was a huge fortune.
For them, mortals can spend food and copper coins, which is considered a business without capital.
But there are also greedy people.
This is the case for the Gong family and the Zheng family, especially the ancestor of the Gong family, Gong Wanshan, who is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. He is known as the number one foundation builder in the Lei Kingdom. He has always been compared to Ji Zhenshi and has the ambition to form an elixir.
He originally discovered the spirit stone mine, but once this thing is excavated on a large scale, the leakage of spiritual energy will cause a spiritual rain phenomenon, which is difficult to hide.
Lian Chenghai was also in the middle of foundation building. After discovering this incident, the six major families of the Lei Kingdom first had a good fight among themselves, but no one was willing to suffer. Gong Wanshan even joined forces with his in-laws, the Zheng family, and asked for half of it. income.
No one was willing to obey anyone, and even Chenghai couldn't beat Gong Wanshan, so he reported the matter to Luo Shupeng in a rage.
After the Shenmu Sect entered, Gong Wanshan was still unwilling to give up, and even reported the matter to the guard on Shanshan Mountain next door.
It's a pity that King Zhou's spiritual cultivation and methods are so good that neither he nor the guards of Shanding Mountain can get any benefits. In the end, Shanshan Mountain retreats, and the Gong family can only endure it.
However, the development of things ultimately exceeded everyone's imagination.
The Gong family and the Zheng family had a grudge against the Shenmu Sect because of this incident, and completely turned to Shanshan Mountain.
For this, it seemed that Shanshan Mountain was unprepared.
Seven days after Chen Mobai and the others arrived at Rolling Thunder Mountain, five or six mountain-shaking monks in golden robes and two foundation builders in brown brocade flew over from the sky across the Rock Kingdom.
"Chu Zuoshu, come out and see me!"
The leader of the mountain-shaking monk had gray hair, but his face was full of majesty and his nose was high. He held two dark iron galls in the palm of his right hand and kept turning them. After coming over, he stood in the air and his words were like thunder, spreading throughout the entire mountain.
"Ji Dingjin, you are not dead yet."
Chu Zuoshu also flew out of Rolling Thunder Mountain with the seven foundation-building monks from Shanshan Hall, and faced the group of people who were shaking the top of the mountain.
"I will protect the Gong family and the Zheng family. If you hand over the monks from their families, let this matter go. We, Shanshan Mountain, will not compete with your Shenmu Sect for this spiritual stone mine."
Ji Dingjin seemed too lazy to argue with Chu Zuoshu. He pointed at the two foundation-building monks beside him. These should be Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wuyou.
Chu Zuoshu shook his head, stretched out his hand to touch his mustache, and said something with a smile that made the other person couldn't help but shout angrily.
"This is unfortunate, but I want you to die."
