Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 215 Nine Cauldrons Ambition
Time passes little by little.

However, within a few months, the war and conflict between Jing and Wu continued to escalate.

In this regard, Wu State, as the instigator and a country protected by living Jindan monks, is indeed in an advantageous position.

Even though the Chishima Water City reacted strongly, the battle line was forced to move from the border between the two countries to the interior of the Yasukuni territory little by little.

In the process, Yasukuni suffered increasingly huge losses.

Many of the powerful families that were destroyed immediately switched to the Wu State, which was ruled by the Jiuding Valley, and began to act as guides within the Jing State.

This situation is different from the situation when Huan State was invaded by Yue State and a family was willing to become traitors and stab Zixuan Sect.

Although Master Zixuan was stabbed in the back by Cai Shiwei, the undercover agent, he managed to save his life. Even though people were in turmoil, the Zixuan Sect still had enough power to suppress the many forces of the Huan State.

Without Bihu Sanren, Qiandao Water City could only rely on a third-order black dragon to hold the fort. Although its combat power was no worse than that of an ordinary golden elixir, it was still slightly inferior in some aspects.

After all, to put it bluntly, the current Jingguo is not much different from being ruled by the third-level black dragon.

The outside world has always been quite skeptical about how much autonomy Bihu Sanren's disciples can have.

In this situation, even if there are more families or sects that betray them, they can shout out resistance against the parasitic rule of the demon race and sweep away the name of the puppet rule of Qiandao Water City and take action accordingly.

Even if Qiandao Water City could destroy them, it could not extinguish the fire that had ignited the hearts of many monks.

Regardless of the truth, the prestige and dominance of Qiandao Water City are ultimately declining.

After all... Qiandao Water City now relies entirely on the third-level black dragon, and most of its resources are used to support it.

Bihu Sanren's group of disciples and followers, none of them has broken through to the Golden Core stage so far. Such a huge force has almost become a service to this black dragon!

As a result, forces within the Jingguo State took advantage of this opportunity to rebel one after another and cooperate with the people of the Wu State, intending to overthrow the Thousand Islands Water City.

Of course... the prerequisite for doing so is to preserve one's own foundation as much as possible in the face of the aggressive attack of the Wu State.

It's just a title, but how many cultivators really care about the fact that this demon race has ruled over Jing State!

If Qiandao Water City could really stabilize its rule and repel the State of Wu, they would naturally react differently.

However, with so many families rebelling one after another, even if other powerful families cooperated smoothly, the trust between them and Qiandao Water City would be greatly destroyed.

The situation is even worse than that of the Zixuan Sect back then.

To be honest, the only places in Qiandao Water City that still have some dominance are probably the many islands in Qiandao Lake.

Even this, as Wu continued to conquer cities and territories, would probably collapse into a pile of loose sand like its structure.

…………

Jiuding Valley.

There is a vast open space in the deep valley, with birds singing, flowers blooming, deep lakes and dense forests, and it is full of spiritual energy.

In the center of its spiritual vein, a series of palaces stand tall, magnificent and mysterious.

Located in the middle of it is a magnificent palace built of green wood with vines of various colors climbing on it.

Jiudingzi, the fake elixir ancestor of Jiuding Valley, was sitting on a high platform, silently listening to the reports from his disciples below.

He looked young, more like a middle-aged man, with slightly gray hair on his temples and a few long wisps of beard.

The unique true energy shield of the golden elixir flowed on his body surface, evolving into strange phenomena, which made him look quite immortal.

"Ancestor, the situation has developed as you expected..."

"Even if we can't contact them to offer them benefits, many powerful families in Jingguo have already contacted us, hoping to act as internal support, hoping to preserve their foundation after my Jiuding Valley defeats Qiandao Water City!" "Everyone is singing your praises, and they are full of admiration for your noble act of taking the initiative to eliminate these treacherous sects that mainly worship monsters and are almost treacherous to humans..."

The young man Yu Junli will report on the recent situation in Jingguo.

But there was a hint of flattery in his words.

Later on, he even seemed to want to take out the contents of those letters and read them out.

"Alright, alright! No need to say more!"

Although Jiudingzi looked pleased, he still waved his hand to interrupt the man.

"Don't forget our purpose for this trip!"

"What's the point of those small Wu factions surrendering? Even if we can truly conquer Jingguo, do you think we can control it with our current strength?"

"I'm afraid that the territory we spent so much money to capture will be snatched away by that old man from Feiyumen while we're at a loss!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Yu Junli nodded quickly and said obediently, "Old Ancestor is very far-sighted and has a long-term vision... I, your disciple, only care about the petty gains in front of me. I am truly ashamed of myself and should learn more from you!"

"Well! I'm glad you knew..."

Jiudingzi smiled and nodded, stroking his beard, looking like a teachable boy.

Cultivators are influenced by various techniques or magic weapons, and their personalities are always strange.

And this Fake Dan Ancestor has lived for so many years, and he achieved his realm by relying on the demon pill. It is impossible for him to continue to improve his cultivation. It is considered relatively good that he just likes to show off and flatter those below him.

Obviously, the disciples were also quite cooperative.

But this time, before the young man could continue with his words after receiving his approval, Jiu Dingzi suddenly shouted,
"Why don't you quickly report the whereabouts of those two old men, Feiyu and Zixuan!"

Well...it's obvious that moodiness is also this person's usual temperament.

Even though what Jiudingzi created was a fake elixir, for an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, a ray of golden elixir pressure was enough to suppress him.

Yu Junli trembled all over as if struck by lightning, and immediately prostrated himself.

"Ancestor, calm down! Report to the Ancestor!"

"In recent years, Taoist Feiyu and Master Zixuan have mostly been in seclusion at the mountain gate, apart from occasionally taking action to deal with the Demon Clan's secret realm. It has been several years since they last went into seclusion..."

"During the conflict between Wu and Jing, Feiyu Sect and Zixuan Sect have remained silent. Our spies have found no signs of them mobilizing their disciples to interfere in our war!"

"So peaceful?"

Jiudingzi frowned, then suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.

"If that's the case, then God is helping me!"

"As long as those two old guys don't interfere with our sect's plans, the Thousand Islands Water City, which relies on the Black Dragon to survive, will be nothing more than a trap for our sect..."

"Whether that damned Bihu's disciples choose to defend to the death or send that third-order black dragon to the battlefield to suppress the situation, they will sooner or later fall into the trap I have prepared for them..."

"Once we kill that black dragon and take its demon core, and then seize the frost-condensed water that that damned devil from Bihu has been storing for so long, our sect will have at least one, or even two, more golden cores..."

"By then... these four countries will be swept freely by my Nine Ding Valley!"

Yu Junli's eyes also showed enthusiasm, and he praised repeatedly: "Old Ancestor is wise! Jiuding Valley will last for thousands of years!"
