Chapter 683: Tears of Blood

In fact, the hesitation of the cultivators from various families, led by Jiang Ziran, is unnecessary.

They thought that such farewell words would make Yue Hanzhang unhappy.

But in fact, this is not the case in Yue Hanzhang's eyes.

Because as early as the beginning of the past, when all the cultivators went north to form the Tianjiao Corps, Yue Hanzhang had already foreseen a farewell scene similar to today.

It is true that they worked together to restore the North Sea Kingdom, but their purposes in restoring the North Sea Kingdom were different.

Yue Hanzhang wanted to revive the Beihai Tiandu lineage, while the cultivators from the aristocratic families ultimately wanted to use these achievements to repay their status in their aristocratic families.

They are comrades-in-arms and friends who have gone through the test of blood and fire, but they are not from the same lineage as Beihai Tiandu.

Moreover.

If they don't say goodbye today, does Yue Hanzhang want to take them to the Yudu Cave as well?

God knows how much Yue Hanzhang paid to keep this place secret. How could he be willing to expose it to the eyes of the aristocratic families?

And to be honest, even if they take a step back, they are all willing to cut off any ties with the families behind them and become die-hard fans of the Beihai Tiandu lineage.

So what Yue Hanzhang gained was just an increase in the number of people in the Beihai Tiandu lineage.

Soldiers value elites rather than numbers.

The reason why the Beihai Tiandu lineage has the reputation it has today in the boundless sea of ​​stars is not because of its large numbers, but because of Yue Hanzhang as its spearhead and the stunning talents of every member of the clan.

The prestige and foundation of this lineage have already helped Yue Hanzhang to establish his power. Adding more people would only be icing on the cake.

But what if these people disperse one after another?

Will these geniuses and evildoers who once followed Yue Hanzhang to form a legion return to their respective families, use their previous talents to improve their status in their families, and stand out from another system that is mainly based on bloodline and clan inheritance?
This means that as the North Sea's talented lineage disperses and stands out, the influence will establish connections with one prosperous and ancient family after another.

This means that the model that Yue Hanzhang once built in the mortal world, with the North Sea Kingdom as the core, the geniuses and monsters as the link, and a group of noble families winning big, will be replicated in the boundless sea of ​​stars.

It was probably because the environment was too harsh when we first entered the boundless sea of ​​stars.

Even to this day, the Beihai Tiandu lineage headed by Yue Hanzhang, Shang Shi and Katya is actually outside the Taoist Alliance.

This is an unhealthy state.

It would be fine if only Yue Hanzhang returned, but the Beihai Tiandu lineage is a complete force.

Now he lives in seclusion from the world, relying on Yue Hanzhang's successive killings to keep the world under control with his power of punishment.

But it is very likely that if you take one more step forward, the whole world will be your enemy!

The stage of stopping killing with killing, breaking the deadlock through killing, and making oneself valued by others has passed. Next, the Beihai Tiandu lineage can no longer continue on such an extreme path.

It is very necessary to establish healthy and gentle connections with various families.

and.

This huge Taoist alliance has many ancient and prosperous families.

If Yue Hanzhang does not take the initiative to fight for it, then they will be passively devoured bit by bit by the various holy sects, the various lotus palaces, and the aristocratic families behind the scenes as time goes by.

The struggle between Yue Hanzhang and these scum is everywhere, not only in the matter of life and death, but also in one complex and comprehensive field after another!
The Taoist Alliance and the various aristocratic families are the most important battlefield among them.

Yue Hanzhang would never allow this "battlefield" to be handed over to others.

That's why.

Teacher Qin and the others were sent back to Yudu Cave Heaven one after another. It happened that Master Shang and the others were there, so they met old friends and they entertained Teacher Qin and the others.

After a brief greeting, Yue Hanzhang turned around without stopping, crossed again, and reappeared in the star field of the Taoist Alliance.

And under the inexplicable gazes of countless cultivators in the Great Dao Alliance star field, he decisively flew across the air to the Shouyang Holy Land.

All the vague thoughts before gradually became clear in Yue Hanzhang's mind as Jiang Ziran and others stepped into the starry sky.

Using this huge Dao Alliance as a "battlefield", they compete with the aristocratic families behind the scenes.

Yue Hanzhang anchored the first "chess piece" on the Shouyang Jiang family.

But how to implement everything can only be decided after Yue Hanzhang meets the ancestor of the Jiang family.

In the oldest Taoist temple in Shouyang Holy Land, Yue Hanzhang sat upright in the guest seat, and next to him was the ancestor of the Jiang family who looked still energetic.

There was no sign of the miserable state that the Jiang family ancestor was in as the rumors said, that he was seriously injured and would not live long.

Below Yue Hanzhang was Jiang Ziran, who had just entered the boundless sea of ​​stars.

In addition, there were five outer scene kings accompanying them, but Yue Hanzhang looked carefully and at a glance he found that three of them were only at the first level of the outer scene.

As for the remaining two people in the outer scene of the second heaven, one of them was only surrounded by the aura of a king, and it was obvious that he had not yet completed the complete cultivation path of the second heaven.

The other one was surrounded by the dual aura of the king, but the discordant aura was too strong, and the "symptoms" were more serious than those of the former King Qianyan. It was obvious that he was also a person who benefited too much from the "legacy" of the predecessors.

In addition to these five honorable kings, the Jiang family even has several half-step kings accompanying them.

He is not the kind of young prodigy who has risen all the way and only needs a little polishing to become a half-step king who can jump out of the cage.

Yue Hanzhang felt an extremely strong breath of wind and frost on them.

Even though the ancestor of the Jiang family was speaking nearby, there were still several respected kings outside, in charge of the Jiang family's development of the star with endless starry sea resources, and they were not sitting in the holy realm.

Yue Hanzhang clearly felt the decline and lack of success of this family, which was once the leader of Qizhou.

Obviously, they have not yet recovered from the battle in which Tian replaced Qi.

Even Yue Hanzhang was very skeptical. With the current fortune of the Shouyang Jiang family, it was not surprising that Jiang Ziran jumped to the Beihai Kingdom halfway through his career. With Yue Hanzhang's good luck taking him to success, it was feared that the Jiang family might not have such a rising star who could set foot in the starry sky.

But no harm.

Wherever Yue goes, good luck follows!
So, with the mentality of coming to "help the poor", although Yue Hanzhang was a guest, he took the initiative to speak and always controlled the rhythm of the conversation.

This action seemed a little rude, but the ancestor of the Jiang family on the side just looked at Yue Hanzhang with a smile. He was even quick-witted and could often speak directly from time to time, pointing out the key points of the topic.

So, that's it.

Yue Hanzhang first asked Jiang Ziran about the results of Beihai Kingdom's attack to the north in the mortal world.

As well as the follow-up of the reserve forces of the various battle groups after the cultivators entered the boundless sea of ​​stars, and afterwards, which of the remaining sages of the Tiandu Taoist Temple advocated war and which believed in the need to recuperate and reconcile internal affairs.

And then after understanding these mundane affairs.

Yue Hanzhang also asked Jiang Ziran about his cultivation process in recent times, and then, using the foundation of the ultimate number of one yuan created for him by the Xingliu Medical Potion, Yue Hanzhang revealed to Jiang Ziran the cultivation concept of the Three Realms of Furnace Refining.

Moreover, it is said that there is no need to follow the path of the sages. If one can achieve great success in the three realms of furnace refining, it will definitely be the result of the merits of the scriptures.

This was something Yue Hanzhang had planned for a long time. Just like he promoted Xingliu Medical Pharmacy in the past, he intended to leave more of his own writings on the ever-changing new path of Taoist practice.

The concept of the three realms of furnace refining is worth promoting vigorously. Only the One Yuan Extreme cultivators who have fully used the Xingliu Medical Potion can embark on this promising path.

As Jiang Ziran and his comrades were also his own people, Yue Hanzhang would naturally not be stingy in teaching them, and simply used Jiang Ziran as the starting point for Yue Hanzhang's promotion.

When I heard this.

All the practitioners present were excited, but most of them were calm enough to express their satisfaction with Jiang Ziran's vision of a bright future.

Until Yue Hanzhang talked about the topic of the three realms of furnace refining and the last step of furnace refining, which was the natural birth and death. He then talked about the birth and reproduction of the two yin and yang and Jiang Ziran's combination of water and wood, and then talked about the birth of yang from the negative pole in his second world of Taoism.

During the whole process, Yue Hanzhang controlled the rhythm perfectly, and no one would think that this was just a casual chat.

Even though Yue Hanzhang's achievements have been mentioned.

No one cared too much at this time.

Until the next moment.

When Yue Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, he took the initiative to mention the pursuit of King Qianyan, and mentioned the Daohai spiritual object that he "accidentally obtained", and then linked the "Taiyin Tiangang Refining Curse" with the previous star furnace.

then.

Just when all the cultivators inevitably envied Yue Hanzhang's good fortune and luck.

Yue Hanzhang was showing off further without leaving any trace, saying that after his Daojing world was completed, the secret spells and methods would be performed, and the ultimate of Tiangang body refining would have the mysterious effect of reshaping the natural world.

He seemed to have really talked about this crucial point naturally.

But when the words fell.

The dojo, which originally seemed too empty due to the sparse population, suddenly became even quieter, as if even the slightest breath could shake the air and make a loud noise.

The Jiang family ancestor, who had been silent before, now had a completely blank expression on his face.

Before this, hearing about the three realms of furnace refining and the spiritual objects of the Dao Sea did not move him.

Only at this moment, his expression became more serious than ever before.

Then, those cloudy eyes, as if unable to see the details of Yue Hanzhang's expression clearly, suddenly leaned forward and looked.

There is a kind of power that is not achieved by the accumulation of Taoist background, but by the continuation of life and the precipitation over the years.

Even Yue Hanzhang felt at this moment that there was an old beast, crawling at this moment, looking at Yue Hanzhang with the last bit of strength in its life, bursting out its last hunting power in its decaying body.

Yue Hanzhang rarely felt threatened.

It's not a threat to decide the outcome.

Rather, it is a kind of invisible threat of "If I don't want to live anymore, you can forget about it either."

Facing the Jiang family ancestor's intense and turbid gaze, Yue Hanzhang simply responded with a calm look.

For a while.

The huge temple fell into a deeper silence.

After more than ten breaths, the Jiang family ancestor suddenly smiled.

That smile was very complicated, with emotion, excitement, and even some sadness.

"I thought King Lingye was here to tease an old man like me."

Yue Hanzhang's expression remained calm.

"Brother Jiang and I are old friends. What good can I get from lying to you? But there is one thing I want to ask you in return -"

"You were injured in the past, which caused disharmony in the world of Daojing. This disharmony made it impossible to move forward, and the inability to move forward made it impossible to eradicate the injury. In a vicious cycle, this injury touched the origin of life, which is the root cause of your imminent death."

"I just want to ask, if I can cure the disharmony in your world, does the Jiang family have any medicine to cure your wounds? Do you have any resources to help you achieve greater success?"

"But on the level of Taoism, have you done any preparation during these years of dormancy?"

"If I don't prepare anything, I'll just be making myself miserable."

Hearing this, the Jiang family's ancestor smiled even more sadly.

"From the moment I fell in the past, I have been making preparations! I think about the road ahead every day and every night, but I am troubled by the Dao injury that has caused my Daojing world to be out of harmony. But the Daojing world has been completed, and there is no regret for making a move. There is no turning back."

"If it is possible... If King Ling Ye can really help me..."

"My Jiang family is willing to devote all our strength—"

Without waiting for the Jiang family ancestor to finish speaking, Yue Hanzhang waved his hand to interrupt the Jiang family ancestor.

"I have refined the root treasure of the Yunbo Fu family. You have all seen it. The Jiang family's wealth is not enough for me to covet."

"Yue said it more bluntly. The Jiang family may not be able to give me what I want."

Hearing this, the ancestor of the Jiang family hurriedly asked again.

"Then... is there anything that the Jiang family needs to do?"

It was not until this moment that the Jiang family's ancestor actually showed some anxiety.

Yue Hanzhang spoke slowly.

"This is not a deal."

"Senior Jiang, from the beginning, Yue did not intend to treat this as a transaction."

"Cooperation."

"If you knew how I acted in the mortal world, you would understand that when launching a big business, I prefer to cooperate with others in a win-win situation, or even a big win!"

Hearing this, the ancestor of the Jiang family raised his eyebrows. He glanced at Jiang Ziran beside him, and then looked at Yue Hanzhang again.

"Then...how should the Jiang family cooperate with King Lingye?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Hanzhang showed a rare look of confusion on his face.

"Before I came to see you, I thought that I could cure you by healing you, and then take advantage of the fact that the head of the Donghua Tian family, King Yuhua, was killed by me a while ago, and the Tian family itself is on the decline..."

"Why not just go all out and have another Jiang replace Qi!"

"It can be considered as resolving the chaos!"

"It's just that Yue had two confusions in his heart at that time. The first one was that he was afraid that the old senior had been self-pitying and dormant in the Saint Realm Dojo for the past few decades, just muddling through, and not preparing for a possible uplift in the future."

"Now it seems that the seniors have been waiting for this day."

“Then there was the second confusion.”

"Jiang's replacement of Qi is not something that the old senior can do alone. To restore order is a clash between one force and another."

"To be honest, the Jiang family's lack of successors is beyond Yue's imagination."

It would have been better if Yue Hanzhang didn’t say this.

As soon as these words were spoken, the ancestor of the Jiang family closed his eyes in half pain and half despair.

Then the old man let out a long breath.

"Since we have come to this point, King Lingye is considered a family member, so I will not hide anything from you."

"The Jiang family is in such a state today, partly because of bad luck. It is difficult for a genius to succeed and reach the current state."

"The other half is... the Donghua Tian family has been monitoring the Jiang family for a long time since the battle in the past!"

"This kind of surveillance started from the mortal world, from the capital of Qizhou!"

"For decades, all the truly outstanding children of the Jiang family, the most gifted and outstanding ones, were either quickly suppressed by the contemporary leaders of the Donghuatian family during their rise, and had to compete with them on the road."

"Once there are signs of uncontrollable behavior, there are often times when people die unexpectedly."

"Of course, the Donghuatian family will not do things too extreme. Often, the disciples whose talents are not so incredible can practice smoothly all the way through."

"This kind of surveillance and control seems to be very flexible. It doesn't seem to have pushed the Jiang family into a dead end, but in fact it has locked up the Jiang family's potential and foundation!"

"I have heard about the various grievances between you, King Lingye, and the Tian family in the past. In fact, looking back, they are targeting you in the same way they have been targeting the Jiang family for adding evildoers."

"It's just that you are too stunning and have ruined the Donghuatian family's plan..."

"Let's go back to the Jiang family. This earthly model has also been replicated by them in the boundless sea of ​​stars."

"Over the years, all the younger generations who have transformed the Dragon Diagram into a sutra, as long as they have such potential, I have allowed them to practice hard in the Holy Realm for a long time."

"Once you're left alone outside, hey... you're bound to die miserably!"

"But if you keep them in captivity like this, even the most talented and evildoers will have their talents worn out and become mediocre."

"Moreover, once a force falls into such a trapped state, it will only go further and further downhill."

"Fortunately, the Holy Land of Shouyang is still there. The savings left by our ancestors, the precious cultivation resources, and some hidden treasure houses are waiting for future generations to open."

“This is how we were able to barely support some of the younger generation and advance to the realm of the Outer Scenery Honored King.”

"But the Donghuatian family's supervision at this level is truly considered cruel!"

"For decades, a clear red line has been drawn. Once someone from the Jiang family tries to enter the second or even third level of the outer scene, they will definitely be brutally attacked by the Donghuatian family!"

"How many of my Jiang family's younger generations have suffered under the sword of King Yuhua!"

“And the cultivation resources left by the sages do not allow for unlimited supply to the Outer Scenery King. Moreover, without the tempering of walking in the boundless sea of ​​stars, relying only on the scriptures left by the sages, studying day and night, it is inevitable that he will lose the true meaning of his own Taoism in the end!”

"The Jiang family is not really so shallow that it is in such a state today."

"But due to numerous restrictions, I have no choice but to become what I am today!"

When the Jiang family's ancestor said this, all the cultivators present showed sad expressions on their faces.

The talents of those geniuses and monsters in the past were trapped in the holy realm little by little and then obscured by dust.

"but--"

"Some time ago, when King Lingye killed the old dog Yuhua with his sword, the person from the Donghua Tian family who was truly the most intimidating to the Jiang family no longer existed."

"In fact, at that time, we were able to take a break!"

"There are already people in the Saint Realm who have been promoted from being a half-step king to the realm of a true honored king."

"Of course, more people who are being promoted in this way are outside, in the vast sea of ​​stars, some of the younger generations who are dormant on the resource stars of the Jiang family."

"After all, at that time, what I wanted was to let the Jiang family recover little by little. We couldn't let the family assets left by our ancestors be damaged so drastically."

"When the Jiang family truly cultivates a person of the third level of the outer scene, or even the fourth level of the outer scene, who can face the noble kings and have more than enough power to advance and retreat."

"It is now time for the Jiang family to finally recover from this shock and start thinking about how to take revenge!"

"But today, King Lingye brought a different choice to the Jiang family—"

“If I can return to the top and move up to a higher level, I will have a backbone in advance. At worst, I can use all the skills left by the predecessors to help the young men who have been dormant for these years to at least move up a level!”

"If...if we can get King Ling Ye to take action and refine all the resources left by the sages into the colorful gold glazed pill...perhaps we can refine it to the second level, and there is great hope!"

"After all, if we can restore order with one move, the resources consumed today can be returned to the Jiang family a thousand times over!"

Hearing this, Yue Hanzhang did not hesitate at all and nodded.

"It's not difficult to refine the elixir. You just need to melt the food into a precious elixir. You don't even need to set up a furnace. You can just spread your magic power into a talisman array and it will be done in an instant!"

"It's just that the senior needs to think this through."

"The battle to restore order is between the Jiang family and the Tian family. According to the established rules and laws of the Dao League, no outsiders can interfere with them, and no outsiders can interfere with us either!"

"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, we must not let this become a chaotic battle without any clue."

"Using secret methods to heal the disharmony in the Daojing world, and refining the colorful gold and glazed treasure pills, these are all small things."

"But when it comes to a life-and-death fight, Yue won't be able to help."

It was obvious that the issue of "restoring order out of chaos" was initiated by Yue Hanzhang.

But at this moment, seeing that the ancestor of the Jiang family really had the intention, Yue Hanzhang became the one who advised them to think twice.

The ruthless aura that had appeared on the ancestor of the Jiang family before appeared again.

"King Lingye, over the years, the Jiang family has invested much more in this matter than you can imagine!"

"There is just one thing. The Tian family is very close to the Xiguan Wang family in Yanzhou. I am afraid that the Xiguan Wang family will have a king take action!"

When the words fell, Yue Hanzhang spoke almost without hesitation.

"I will take care of the scum of the Wang family! If they make a move, Yue will also take action!"
