Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 258 Shenluo Palace: The Son of Luck and Yuzhou belong to our sect

Yaozhou, adjacent to Yuzhou, is also a vast province with a radius of billions of miles and abundant resources.

The two states’ territories are naturally divided by the Shenluo River, a giant river that is a thousand miles wide and stretches for billions of miles.

This magnificent river, which has left behind countless legends, has its source in the Shenluo Mountains, which is the important gate to the Shenluo Palace, a female cultivation sect.

On every sunny day, the inky black river surface is filled with magnificent waves, gorgeous clouds and infinite auspicious energy rising and shining. From time to time, you can see lively fish, shrimps, crabs and other aquatic creatures appearing on the water surface, breathing in and out the essence of spiritual energy. The scene is so magnificent that it is difficult to describe it all.

The Taiqing Divine Dynasty, the Shenluo Palace, and the Beichen Family are the three major super powers that have divided up more than 80% of Yaozhou's territory.

The remaining less than 20% of the relatively barren territory is occupied by thousands of small and medium-sized forces.

They are all vassals of the three major forces, and they often fight each other for various reasons, or fight proxy wars for their backers.

Since you are a vassal follower, it is impossible for you to maintain independence and autonomy, and your words and actions must depend on the mood of your master.

This is the power structure in Yaozhou that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

"…If it was really the Taiqing Divine Dynasty who did this secretly, the Mu and Cui families will most likely not be able to escape this disaster!"

Ling Changqing frowned and said, this opponent made such a big fuss all of a sudden, he must have been secretly planning for many years and would never give up easily.

What they want is not only the foundation of the Mu and Cui families, but to subvert the entire Yuzhou cultivation world and then completely annex this vast continent rich in resources.

Now that the opponent's cards have been partially revealed, how the many forces in Yuzhou respond will be a great test of the wisdom of the decision-makers.

Qin Mengxuan looked solemn, glanced at Bai Qingyi, and said softly: "We have reached an agreement with the Yu family and the Liuying family. Let's help the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty win this war first!
As for the Yin family and the Feng family, they should have been secretly infiltrated and controlled by the Beichen family, so they will definitely join the battle in the future, it’s just a matter of time.”

The situation has evolved to the point where it is no longer just a matter for the Shengyu Xian Dynasty. In order to thwart the ambitions of outside forces, the top forces in the Yuzhou cultivation world must unite.

Although Luhua Palace, Yu Family and Liuying Family will not openly participate in the war for now, their resource support to the Holy Yu Immortal Dynasty is definitely indispensable. Who knows, some senior elders may conceal their identities and secretly help.

As for the Taiqing Divine Dynasty, once the Beichen Family suffers a setback, they will obviously not allow their years of planning to fail, and will definitely increase their efforts to get involved.

In the end, I'm afraid that these major forces will tear each other apart and fight openly.

Of course, this situation will not appear all at once, and there will definitely be a long evolution process.

"Madam, can you tell me the truth? Can the overall strength of Yuzhou's cultivation world... compare to the three forces in Yaozhou?"

Ling Changqing thought about it and asked Qin Mengxuan.

He personally felt that the Yuzhou immortal cultivation world was at a disadvantage, otherwise they would not have been infiltrated and schemed against to this extent.

The Grand Palace Master shook his head and said helplessly, "My husband, your intuition is correct. We are definitely not comparable. The degree of power integration is different. How can we compare with them?"

The size and resource endowment of Yuzhou and Yaozhou are similar, but one is a three-way competition while the other is composed of more than a dozen forces each acting independently. It is obvious which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

Now four of the nine great families have run into problems. It is unknown whether there are more powerful forces that have been infiltrated and controlled secretly.

Therefore, the situation is quite unfavorable for the immortal cultivation world in Yuzhou.

In the future, when the immortal cultivation world in Yuzhou is severely damaged and the three major forces in Yaozhou feel that the time is ripe, they will start the final decisive battle and wipe out all the forces in Yuzhou in one fell swoop.

"In fact...if the Deep Sea Dragon Clan is willing to stand with the Yuzhou Immortal Cultivation World, there is still hope for a turnaround."

Yu Ruoshuang, who was gentle, intellectual, and had bright eyes, spoke softly.

Bai Qingyi's eyes flickered, and she said with a sweet smile: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Even if I could, I wouldn't care."

The deep-sea dragons nowadays keep a low profile and rarely interfere in the grudges and right and wrong in the human cultivation world, so the outside world has no way of knowing how strong their actual strength is.

Qin Mengxuan once discussed this privately with the Grand Elder of Luhua Palace, and most of them tended to believe that the true strength of the Deep Sea Dragon Clan should not be inferior to the sum of the three clans in Yaozhou?

However, the deep-sea dragon clan has lived in peace for tens of thousands of years and has never launched a large-scale war against other countries, so there is no way to verify it now.

Qin Mengxuan rolled her eyes at her. Even though she understood her attitude, she still felt a little unhappy.

Even if the Yuzhou continent is reduced to ruins in the future, and all the forces, big and small, in the Yuzhou cultivation world are completely destroyed, it will not affect the core interests of the deep-sea dragon clan, and they certainly won't care too much.

So we can't blame Bai Qingyi for not helping. The interests of her own family are the overall situation. Even with her noble status, she has no right to act willfully.

"Those three superpowers should have enemies, right? Can't we think of a solution from that aspect?"

Ling Qiyue asked.

To be honest, this matter has little to do with the Ling family of Changqingzhou. The super powers in Yaozhou may not look down on a remote place like Feiyu Sea.

Of course, all the girls are Ling Changqing’s Taoist companions now, so some things are not so easy to deal with, and they still need to be prepared to some extent.

Qin Mengxuan nodded slightly: "Indeed, we have some allies in other states, both openly and covertly. By forming alliances, we may be able to balance Yaozhou and resolve this crisis."

At least for now, Qin Mengxuan is not particularly worried. After all, the current situation has not yet deteriorated, and the Yuzhou cultivation world still has a chance to turn things around.

Another key reason is that she has found Ling Changqing, the son of luck. This at least means that the inheritance of Luhua Palace will not be cut off, and the remaining troubles are nothing.

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "If that's the case, let's see what the situation is first. It's a pity that my current cultivation is limited and I can't help much."

"Don't say that,"

Qin Mengxuan's eyes were full of waves, and she said with a smile: "My husband, you can stay in Yuzhou forever and become our sister's Taoist partner. This is the greatest contribution!"

As far as she knew, the Taiqing Divine Dynasty had made such a big fuss this time, and the Son of Destiny was also their target.

It can even be said that the value of the entire Yuzhou continent may not be comparable to Ling Changqing.

"So, what do we need to do now?"

Ling Qiyue asked.

Qin Mengxuan said: "The Ling family can now expand outward and take over the Chixue Sea. If my husband is willing, it won't be a problem to seize a few more sea areas."

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. Now the attention of the upper echelons of Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world has been attracted by this war. How can they have the leisure to pay attention to the ownership of a few remote sea areas?
Therefore, the Ling family of Changqingzhou can take action in advance and swallow up the nearby Chixue Sea without worrying about interference from external forces.

Ling Changqing's eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "This is good news. After focusing on development for so long, the family really needs to expand outward!"

The key reason is that there are already many Yuanying Zhenjun in the family, but there is no fourth-level spiritual vein in Feiyu Sea, so it is very unfavorable for their cultivation improvement.

There are many fourth-order spiritual veins in the Chixue Sea. As long as they can be taken down, the girls will have a suitable place to practice in seclusion, and they can also use it to cultivate more Nascent Soul True Lords in the future.

After talking for a while, the women finally ended the meeting. As time was tight, Qin Mengxuan did not hold back and directly pulled Ling Changqing to the inner room of the boudoir, saying that they had to leave after a round of double cultivation.

Ling Changqing knew that she had been under a lot of pressure during this period, so he fully cooperated with her during her training, and taught her all his spiritual insights and Taoism, making sure she returned with a full load.

Deep in the brocade curtains, on the embroidered bed filled with a faint fragrance.

"Husband...I need to tell you something!"

During the fierce battle, Qin Mengxuan, with a blushing face and charming eyes, turned over, hugged Ling Changqing with her snowy and dazzling body, and said:

"The vixen who's in charge of Shenluo Palace came to me last time and said that if I could help find your whereabouts and then capture you and send you back to Shenluo Palace, she would help us deal with Taiqing Dynasty and Beichen Family."

"Is this still happening?"

Ling Changqing was surprised. It seemed that the three major forces in Yaozhou were not of one mind. They were superficially united but actually at odds with each other. Who knows when they would sell out their teammates.

There is only one son of destiny, but the three major forces all want him, and no one is willing to give in, even if it means turning against each other and fighting.

Shenluo Tiangong is also a super power of pure female practitioners. It has not accepted male disciples since its establishment, and there are no male intelligent creatures inside the sect.

The inheritance of this sect is even longer than that of Luhua Palace. Its overall strength is second to none in Yaozhou. Even the Taiqing Divine Dynasty and the Beichen Family cannot compare to them.

As both are purely female cultivation forces, Shenluo Palace and Luhua Palace have had a good relationship in the past and have had a lot of private cooperation.

Therefore, Qin Mengxuan and the other party's head master not only knew each other, but could barely be considered best friends.

"The situation in the heart of Yuzhou has begun to show signs of instability,"

Qin Mengxuan frowned and said, "They remain neutral on the surface, but in fact they have sent a lot of elite forces to conduct investigations in various places in Yuzhou, just targeting you."

"Unfortunately, they are destined to return empty-handed!"

Ling Changqing said indifferently.

"is it?"

Qin Mengxuan hugged him, her beautiful eyes as bright as stars seemed to smile: "But Sister Yue said that every time you go out, you will inevitably bring back one or two new sisters.

If you accidentally offend one of their people one day, you will be in big trouble."

Ling Changqing was slightly stunned. This possibility was entirely possible.

If I were really discovered and captured by the female cultivators of Shenluo Palace, not only would I never be able to get out of this situation, I would most likely be eaten alive by them without leaving even a bone.

"Okay, I get it, ma'am, just don't worry."

Ling Changqing nodded. Things were different now than before. He really couldn't just follow his own temper.

"Well, my husband, as long as you understand it in your heart!"

Qin Mengxuan leaned over, hugged him and kissed him, and said in a soft voice:

"After you advance to the Nascent Soul True Lord stage, I will bring you a list of the most outstanding female cultivators in the sect and let you pick any one you want. Why bother with those wild women out there?"

There were so many beauties in Luhua Palace, what kind of beauties were there? As long as they joined forces, they would not be able to protect Ling Changqing.

"Uh... let's talk about this later!"

Ling Changqing said with a smile.

It's not that he can't live without female cultivators. There are already so many beautiful women in the harem that it's enough for him to enjoy.

After a day and a night, Qin Mengxuan left with satisfaction, and before leaving, she left him a bunch of cultivation resources.

Ling Changqing did not delay and discussed with Ling Qiyue and the other girls. He immediately began to gather his clansmen and prepare to take action against the Chixue Sea.

Such a plan naturally could not avoid the Hall of Eternal Life. Since the hall master Liu Qianlan and his direct disciple Liu Xiuyan were already his Taoist partners, this matter was easy to resolve.

Ling Qiyue promised that after the Chixue Sea came under the rule of the Ling family, the Changsheng Palace could still retain a small portion of territory and interests to accommodate those elders with sufficient experience. Liu Qianlan immediately agreed.

As for the other Jindan forces, Ling Qiyue doesn't need to think about anything and can just flatten them directly.

There are eleven Jindan forces in the Chixue Sea, among which the Cangyu Islands have long been destroyed, the Changsheng Palace is their own people, and the remaining nine forces are not worth mentioning even if they are tied together.

Ten days later, the Ling family sent out a large group of cultivators and officially declared war on the Chixue Sea.

Under Liu Qianlan's instruction, Changsheng Palace did not put up any resistance and directly declared surrender. Then the Ling family's army marched straight to the Feng family's territory.

For the Ling family, which has many Yuanying Zhenjun, it is easier than imagined to conquer the Chixue Sea.

Even if Yu Yalan, Luo Qingxuan and Yu Ruoshuang are not convenient to take action, Ling Qiyue and the Zhao Wanyi sisters are enough.

Ling Changqing's current combat power is not inferior to that of an ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun. In addition, he has a number of fourth-order Taoist puppets by his side, so he is extremely ferocious and terrifying when fighting.

Taking into account the time spent hunting down the remaining enemies, counting assets and integrating territory, it only took the Ling family more than two months to plant the family flag on every island in the Chixue Sea.

At this point, the Ling family officially became a force that controlled two sea areas.

……

Above the vast sky, a bright red pavilion with a radius of ten meters, shining with spiritual light, and appearing exquisite and delicate, is quietly suspended in the air.

Inside the pavilion, more than a dozen graceful, slender figures stood in front of the window, silently overlooking the vast land below.

"...Yuzhou's cultivation world probably won't have many good years left!"

After a long time, a mellow and pleasant voice sounded.

"Of course, this vast and rich land will sooner or later become the territory of our Shenluo Palace!"

"Well, all the plans of the Taiqing Divine Dynasty and the Beichen Family are destined to be in vain. We are the final winners!"

"Oh, and the legendary son of destiny will eventually belong to the sect."

"That's right, Yuzhou and the Son of Luck will all belong to our Shenluo Palace!"
