Three years have passed, and more than half of the Zidian Empire's territory has been controlled by the White Lotus Sect. The most important thing is that most of the various minerals and medicinal gardens in the Zidian Empire have been peacefully taken over by the White Lotus Sect. Zhang Changkong feels that the resources of a Zidian Empire are It is equivalent to most of the Eastern Territory, and far beyond the Northern Territory. The Central Territory is worthy of being the center of the Flowing Light Territory.
The geographical composition of the Central Region is that the eight ancient kingdoms surround a huge ocean. This ocean is the Shuiyuan Sea. The entire Shuiyuan Sea accounts for more than 70% of the area of the Central Region. The core of the Shuiyuan Sea is the Shuiyuan Sea Holy Land led by Renzu. The Holy Land controls The core of the water source sea is also the place of the entire Flowing Light Domain - the Holy Domain.
The neighboring empires of the Zidian Empire are the Qingfeng Empire and the Bai Ling Empire, also known as the Platinum Empire. The White Lotus Sect has three attack directions in the next step, namely Shuiyuan Hai and the two major empires. The strength of Shui Yuan Hai has never been known to the outside world. I only know that it is the last and most solid barrier for the human race, and its strength should be no worse than any other ancient country. Zhang Changkong is not in a hurry to attack Shuiyuan Sea. After all, Shuiyuan Sea is too vast, and the White Lotus Sect does not have many naval forces. Zhang Changkong didn't even know where the Holy Land was, so Zhang Changkong's next step was to attack one of the two ancient countries.
However, Zhang Changkong is not in a hurry to launch an attack, because even if he kills the top combat forces in the ancient country, the White Lotus Sect cannot keep up, and those resources may not be received in time and may suffer heavy losses. In this case, it is better to let those in the Kongming Realm do it for him. Save it first. After all, his original intention of mastering the Flowing Light Domain was just for resources. Although he can't use up the current resources, he doesn't plan to stop, because the growth cycle of such precious resources as immortal plants can easily reach hundreds. Thousands or even tens of thousands of years are a non-renewable resource for a cultivator in the mage realm. How can he have too much?
There are many beautiful peaks in the Central Region, and Zhang Changkong chose a peak with a vitality node as the new Lotus Mountain.
At this time, in the training room in a palace on Lotus Mountain, Zhang Changkong was sitting cross-legged on the lotus treasure.
"Finally the damage to the soul has been repaired. I didn't expect the damage to the soul to be so difficult to recover." Zhang Changkong opened his eyes. He didn't expect that a tiny bit of damage would waste him so long. This was with the help of the Lotus Treasure.
Zhang Changkong stood up and took out a black seed.
"We finally dug up a high-grade vitality stone from the vitality stone veins in the Northern Territory. Should we plant the seed here?"
After Zhang Changkong got the Vitality Stone veins, he didn't begrudge the Vitality Stones. He now has seven specific Vitality Stone veins, and the Yuan Qi Stone reserves are tens of millions, and they will increase every day, so he places teleportation arrays everywhere. Traveling to and from the Northern Territory is not a difficult task for him. Last month, he brought back hundreds of high-grade vitality stones from a mine vein in the Northern Territory.
Although there are many types of immortal plants in the Liuguang Realm, and there are also many high-grade immortal plants, Zhang Changkong has never thought that there is any kind of immortal plant that can compare with the Yuan Jing Tree. After all, a single Yuan Jing Tree can be compared to a medium to large tree. of vitality stone veins.
After getting the high-grade vitality stone, Zhang Changkong has been hesitant to plant the essence tree seed. After all, this kind of seed is really hard to come by.
Zhang Changkong's deepest wish was to plant this seed on an empty island in the Hundred Thousand Jungles. Not only was the island hidden, but it also had good natural defenses on the outside. It was really an ideal plantation.
However, Zhang Changkong can't go back for the time being. If he delays it for a hundred years, this Yuanjing tree seed will be equivalent to losing hundreds of years of heaven and earth essence in vain.
"Forget it, let's plant it. Now there are more and more empty and underworld realms in the White Lotus Sect. The volcanic elixir furnace is refining day and night. The number of heavenly elixirs obtained in a year is only eight, which is a bit insufficient. Just in time, take the Yuanjing Tree Fill it with the essence of ten thousand trees." Zhang Changkong thought for a while and decided to plant the essence tree.
Zhang Changkong chose a relatively flat place on Lianhua Mountain, and arranged layers of arrays with medium and low-grade vitality stones. He then buried the black seeds under the soil and placed twenty high-grade vitality stones around the seeds.
"Okay, let's wait for it to sprout and grow." Zhang Changkong left after seeing that there were no mistakes or omissions.
"What's going on at the bottom of the mountain?" Zhang Changkong, who was about to go back, turned over and took out a shining jade talisman, "It's Su Muyan again, why is this person so annoying? If you have time, just practice hard and focus on those useless things." If you bother me with something meaningful, it seems like you need to warn her."
Zhang Changkong flew to a hall at the foot of Lotus Mountain.
Zhang Changkong saw that besides Su Muyan, there were also Yi Bujun and Li Jin.
Zhang Changkong sat at the top and said, "What's going on this time?"
"Master, the Bai Ling Empire sent envoys to contact us. After talking with them, we found that the Bai Ling Empire's intention is to surrender to our White Lotus Sect. In exchange, they are willing to make annual sacrifices and accept our White Lotus Sect's liberating ideas. Promise not to use human beings as sacrifices in the future. Because the trouble is serious, we dare not make decisions at will. The decision can only be made by you, the leader."
Before Zhang Changkong was born, Yi Bujun spoke first, "Leader, I come from the Bai Ling Empire, and I know the upper echelons of the Bai Ling Empire. They are only saying they surrender now so that we, the White Lotus Sect, will not regard them as the next target. When it comes to sincerity, we can say that we don’t have it. They don’t say they won’t provide troops to us, and they don’t explain clearly the resources they provide every year. The so-called mission also secretly comes to contact us. I don’t think we need to pay attention to them. We take over the Zidian Empire. After that, go directly to destroy them.”
"No, leader, although it is true that the Bai Ling Empire is not sincere, we should not guard against being insincere with them. The power of our White Lotus Sect, except for the leader, is only more than that of a small ancient country. If we accept the Bai Ling Empire's Surrender, we can disperse the power of the Central Territory and defeat them one by one. Our White Lotus Sect has discovered that in the past few years, there have been frequent exchanges in the Central Territory, and there is a vague appearance of joining forces to fight against our White Lotus Sect. Therefore, I think we should agree to Bai Ling. The empire’s request will be accepted even if other ancient countries surrender in the future. Once we have wiped out the other disobedient ancient countries, it will not be too late to go back and deal with them. This is the fastest way to capture the Central Region.”
Zhang Changkong waved his hand and stopped Yi Bujun who wanted to say something. He knew that Yi Bujun was eager for revenge.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Changkong looked at Su Muyan.
"Master, I believe that the factor in conquering the Central Territory is not the land, the number of troops, or how strong the King of the Sky and the Underworld is, but the holy weapon. Only by mastering the holy weapon can the Central Territory and even the entire Flowing Light Realm be truly conquered. We, the White Lotus Sect, have control," Su Muyan said slowly.
