Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 560 Large-Scale Aid (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
As for the 30 billion spirit stones in aid, in the eyes of these important figures, it was nothing.

It's just three million high-grade spirit stones.

With a bit of grit, they were able to afford to establish the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Let's just consider these spirit stones as money to buy the lives of the "East Sea Alliance".

The Supreme Elders had anticipated that the Divine Firmament Dao Sect would have to bleed money this time, but they did not expect it to be so much!
This wealth is equivalent to the lifetime wealth of four or five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

"I have another request. I hope the sect can open up some of the books in the 'Scripture Pavilion' so that members of the alliance can borrow them using their military merits."

Before the elders could ask any questions, Li Yunjing bowed slightly and continued, "In this way, we can not only demonstrate our sect's sincerity, but also enhance the strength of our allies, giving them more confidence to fight alongside our sect."

The hall fell silent again for a moment. After a while, Elder Lei Ze spoke first: "Your considerations are thorough. However, opening the 'Scripture Pavilion' is a matter of great importance and requires careful planning."

"The allocation of spirit stones and pills is not a problem, but those fifty Golden Core cultivators are a troublesome matter. We need manpower for too many things."

Elder Xuanqing stroked his beard and nodded, speaking slowly.

“What the ancestor said is absolutely right. The fifty Golden Core cultivators will not all be dispatched immediately.”

Li Yunjing's expression remained unchanged. He clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "This junior plans to dispatch them in three batches: the first batch of ten people will be stationed in the alliance's central hub to be responsible for building an intelligence network and strategic framework; once the alliance has taken initial shape, another twenty people will be sent to consolidate the defense line; the remaining twenty people will serve as a mobile force to deal with any sudden battles."

"This will not only solve the alliance's immediate crisis, but also prevent the sects' fighting strength from being excessively dispersed."

He flipped his palm, and a jade slip floated out, with fine runes flowing on it: "This is the draft of the 'Golden Core Cultivator Rotation Rules.' Each dispatched cultivator can return to the sect after three years of missions, and the sect will select a replacement."

"The cultivation resources needed during this period will be provided with priority from the alliance's taxes to minimize the burden on the sects."

"You've certainly made a clever plan, but what if something goes wrong with the dispatched cultivators in the East China Sea?"

The Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds tapped his withered fingers on the armrest of the throne, making a "tap-tap" sound: "Can those people in the East Sea be trusted?"

"Please rest assured, Elder!"

Li Yunjing's eyes were piercing, and golden chains rose around his body. "I will personally go to the East China Sea to oversee the central command of the 'East China Sea Alliance' and command the overall situation. If anyone fails to save someone in distress, they will be annihilated."

"Furthermore, I have some capable friends in the East China Sea. I will gather a group of experts and arrange for a special team to regularly check the movements of cultivators to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"He does have some tricks up his sleeve."

Elder Lei Ze stroked his chin, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "However, the matter of the Scripture Pavilion should not be easily agreed upon."

"Tell me, if we open up the scriptures, how should we define the access restrictions? We can't let unorthodox cultivators freely peruse our sect's most precious treasures."

Elder Lei Ze asked again.

"This junior suggests a three-tiered system of authority!"

Li Yunjing was prepared. He raised his hand and summoned a map of light and shadow, clearly showing the distribution of forces in the East China Sea and the structure of the alliance: "Ordinary members can only borrow first- and second-tier cultivation techniques; core allies can exchange military merits for third-tier cultivation techniques and low-level supernatural abilities; as for the true inheritance recorded in the 'Scripture Pavilion,' it will definitely not be given as a reward to the people of the alliance!"

"What a well-planned and meticulous strategy!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuanqing clapped his hands and laughed: "They've given us a taste of the benefits, yet set up layers of obstacles. In my opinion, this plan is feasible!"

He turned to the other elders and asked, "What do you all think?"

A chorus of contemplation and discussion rose and fell within the hall. Finally, Ming Lingchuan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "This matter shall be handled as Yun Jing has suggested."

"Spirit stones and pills will be allocated immediately, and Golden Core cultivators will be dispatched in batches according to plan."

"The detailed rules of authority of the Scripture Pavilion will be jointly drafted by Yun Jing, the elders of the Punishment Hall and the Scripture Pavilion, and will be presented to me after your wedding."

He looked intently at Li Yunjing, "If the East China Sea Alliance succeeds, you will deserve the greatest credit; if it fails..."

"This disciple is willing to stake my life on it!"

Li Yunjing said resolutely, "If we do not win this battle, we will never return to our clan!"

Ming Lingchuan looked at Li Yunjing with satisfaction and said to the elders, "I understand what Yunjing said, and it is indeed feasible."

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

The Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds chuckled sinisterly, "If these people ruin our plans, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Please rest assured, esteemed elders, I will not let anyone who jeopardizes the overall situation go unpunished!"

Li Yunjing straightened his back and said solemnly.

"Alright! Yun Jing, you can go back now! I'll discuss the rest with the elders later!"

Ming Lingchuan said to Li Yunjing with a smile.

He was quite satisfied with Li Yunjing's plan!

The future leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" needs to be more magnanimous!
Three hundred billion spirit stones is nothing. If it can be used to exchange for several Nascent Soul cultivators of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" as well as other disciples at various levels, this deal is still very worthwhile.

"Yes! This disciple takes his leave!"

Li Yunjing bowed to Ming Lingchuan, then bowed to all the Supreme Elders before taking his leave.

After Li Yunjing's figure disappeared outside the hall, there was a brief silence inside, followed by a chorus of discussions.

"This lad is meticulous and knows when to advance and retreat. He is willing to spend a lot of money to win over allies, and he also knows how to use rules to lock down his lifeline. He has really impressed me."

Elder Xuanqing stroked his beard and broke the silence first.

"Isn't it?"

Elder Lei Ze crossed his arms, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "The dispatch of fifty Golden Core cultivators in batches, and the triple access to the Scripture Pavilion—such meticulous planning is something even we might not have been able to devise in our youth. No wonder Ming Lingchuan is so determined to groom him as his successor."

"I used to think he was too young and reckless, but now he seems like a hidden sword."

A rare smile appeared on the gaunt face of the Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds. He said in a hoarse voice, "The inspection team's arrangement to win over local experts from the East Sea has a ruthless edge that I really appreciate."

"Everyone, Yun Jing has shown exceptional talent since he entered the sect, and what is even more remarkable is his broad vision."

Ming Lingchuan gazed at the empty palace gates, a gratified smile playing on his lips: "This East Sea Alliance plan will not only restrain the 'Tianluo Dao Sect,' but is also an important step for our sect to expand into the East Sea."

"His ability to think of using spirit stones and ancient books as bait, and alliances and oaths as hooks, shows his foresight."

Ming Lingchuan was already very satisfied. If it weren't for the current tense situation, he would have preferred to retire and focus on cultivation, handing over the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" directly to Li Yunjing.

Unfortunately, Li Yunjing's cultivation level was still too low.

In peacetime, he could easily control the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but not now!

We still need to put in our own efforts to create a peaceful situation for him!
"However, this plan, while good, also harbors hidden risks."

An elderly elder with white hair nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "The opening of the 'Scripture Pavilion' and the 30 billion spirit stones will likely attract the covetousness of other forces. If the Tianluo Dao Sect finds out, they will definitely turn against us."

"That's why we need a young man with the courage and determination of Yun Jing to handle things."

Ming Lingchuan's gaze was firm. "He has already made a great name for himself in the East Sea, and with the help of the Fiery Immortal and the Five Elements Immortal, if this alliance is formed, the prestige of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect will surely reach new heights. As for the risks..."

He paused, a sharp glint in his eyes, "With us here, the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' won't be able to cause any trouble."

Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement, and for a moment, praise for Li Yunjing was heard everywhere.

"This time, I'll go!"

After a brief discussion, the Five Elements Master, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.

"Hehe! With you, fellow Daoist, there's no chance of failure!"

Seeing that someone had volunteered, Ming Lingchuan smiled.

Everyone is equal. When it comes to top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, Ming Lingchuan can only discuss things with them; he has no way to issue orders.

Now that someone has taken command, he can finally feel relieved.

"Ugh……"

The Five Elements True Man sighed and said leisurely, "'Tianluo Dao Sect' is not easy to deal with! I am more familiar with the East Sea, and I know True Man Feiyun and Fairy Shengyin. If I take the lead as the alliance leader, I think no one will dare to disobey!" So what if he doesn't like to get involved in these things?

There's an important matter for the sect that I have to attend to!

"Very well! Since you have this intention, fellow Daoist, how could I dare to fall behind?"

As soon as the Five Elements Immortal finished speaking, Elder Lei Ze slammed his hand on the armrest of the throne, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker: "Back then, I had a fierce battle with the Punishment Venerable of the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect,' and I was just looking forward to settling old scores!"

Purple lightning crackled and exploded around him, his fighting spirit spreading out as if it were a tangible force.

"Although I am not good at fighting, I have plenty of these Life-Sustaining Pills and Barrier-Breaking Pills!"

Elder Xuanqing stroked his beard and chuckled, then tossed out twelve jade bottles with flowing pill patterns: "At that time, I will sit in the Alliance Pill Hall to ensure that the cultivators in the rear have no worries."

The jade bottle floated in mid-air, exuding a fragrant aroma, and within the hall, it condensed into an illusory pavilion shrouded in rosy clouds.

"Those petty scoundrels who dare to cause trouble in the shadows, I'll take care of them."

The Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds gave a sinister smile, his withered fingers drawing strange runes in the air, and countless skulls formed from black mist immediately surged from the ground: "My 'Soul-Capturing Bell' hasn't drunk the essence of a powerful being in a long time."

Before she could finish speaking, a mournful cawing of crows suddenly came from outside the hall, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in the void.

Seeing this, Ming Lingchuan's eyes flashed with relief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a Supreme Elder in a gray robe with a weathered face slowly rise from the corner.

"Although I, Feng Shizi, have been in seclusion for many years, I cannot stand by and watch my sect fall into crisis."

This person had not uttered a single word from beginning to end, but now a cloud of yellow sand rose up around him, transforming into a spiraling sand dragon: "The East Sea has many waters, and my 'Yellow Sand Escape Technique' is incompatible with water-based techniques, so I will take charge of 'Yingtian Prefecture' and be responsible for the coastal defense line."

In an instant, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall volunteered one after another, some willing to lead the charge, some willing to guard the logistics, and some willing to infiltrate behind enemy lines.

"It is a great fortune for Shenxiao Sect that all of you fellow Daoists are willing to contribute to the sect!"

Seeing the enthusiastic crowd, Ming Lingchuan felt reassured and gestured with his hand: "Once Li Yunjing has drafted the specific plan, we can discuss it further. However..."

His gaze swept over the crowd, his expression grave. “The ‘Tianluo Dao Sect’ has come with great force this time. We must be cautious and not underestimate them.”

"Tomorrow I will set off for the East Sea to meet with Master Feiyun and Fairy Shengyin to finalize the details of the alliance."

The Five Elements Master nodded slightly, the power of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) flowing around him, condensing into five rotating halos behind him: "Once the situation is initially settled, I will ask my fellow Daoists to take charge."

After saying that, he flashed and disappeared outside the hall, transforming into five streams of light.

After everyone in the hall dispersed, Ming Lingchuan gazed at the empty hall and murmured to himself, "Yun Jing, I hope your plan goes as smoothly as expected. If we can use this opportunity to severely damage the Tianluo Dao Sect, then the Shenxiao Dao Sect's dominance of the Southern Heaven Continent will be just around the corner..."

"But there are active Nascent Soul Realm True Monarchs within the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'!"

Ming Lingchuan frowned and sighed.

Ming Lingchuan and the other elders supported Li Yunjing's plan for another reason: they were unwilling to openly break ties with the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and resort to violence.

The Supreme Elders Council once held a meeting and were full of confidence in defeating the "Tianluo Dao Sect." However, when the powerful figures behind the "Tianluo Dao Sect" were mentioned, they all chickened out.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect also has important figures of this caliber!
But that important figure didn't dare to leave the pass!
The core of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has lived for 4790 years!

He is not far from reaching the five thousand lifespan of the Nascent Soul Realm!
Even if one consumes rare and precious herbs, one can only live to 5500 years old at most, and it is difficult to reach 6000 years old.

With no hope of ascending to immortality, that ancestor was left with only one thought: to protect the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" until a new successor appeared.

Unfortunately, after so many years, the Shenxiao Dao Sect has no second person at the Nascent Soul stage.

This ancestor could only seclude himself in the secret realm, using health preservation techniques to prolong his life and ensure that he would live until the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" produced its second Nascent Soul Realm expert.

No one knows how long it will take for the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" to produce such a top-level cultivator, so the ancestor will never use him unless absolutely necessary!

Over the years, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has experienced extremely dangerous situations and lost a large number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but the ancestor has never participated in the war!
This is true depth!

Unless it's a matter of life and death, our ancestors wouldn't waste their energy on a decisive battle.

Meanwhile, the important figure from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" is still very active. He even went to other continents a few years ago and had a battle with other Nascent Soul Realm experts.

Under such circumstances, the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" naturally did not want to become mortal enemies with the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

If we can use the "East Sea Alliance" to block the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and make them back down, that would be ideal.

Li Yunjing was unaware of the deeper issues involved. After leaving Shenxiao Peak, he returned to Qiwu Manor and gave guidance to Zhu Wanyun and Xiao Huang on their cultivation.

He gave a few more instructions before leisurely leaving.

I've been so busy these past few days since I got back that I haven't had a single moment to myself.

Li Yunjing planned to go to "Chaoyang Peak" to see how their wedding venue was decorated.

In addition, Li Yunjing also plans to move into Yu Yunyi's home.

Talk to the two women. After all, they're back. Can't we just not see each other?
When Li Yunjing entered the residence, he saw Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi decorating their wedding room.

"You're back!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had returned, the two women didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, they asked him a casual question and then continued to decorate each room with great enthusiasm.

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing touched his nose and gave a wry smile.

He looked up and around. Yu Yunyi's house was already decorated perfectly, almost like a sea of ​​flowers. Various second- and third-tier treasures were displayed as furniture.

He stood in the living room, seemingly with nothing to do.

Li Yunjing was unaware of the thoughts of Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, both of whom were the pride of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Neither of the two women was content with mediocrity.

Especially after the arrival of Li Yunjing, an invincible man, their ambitions grew even greater.

This is an opportunity to announce to the "Great Ming Cultivation World"!

The two women naturally hoped their wedding would be perfect, without any flaws.

If Li Yunjing becomes the overlord of the Southern Continent in the future, these two must make sure everyone remembers that they are Li Yunjing's legal wives!
Especially considering that Li Yunjing has several female confidantes!

The two women hadn't said these words to Li Yunjing, but they were both holding back their anger!
The time to save face had come; how could the two women dare to be careless?
We can't let our glorious days end in a laughing stock!
After a while, Li Yunjing looked at the two women's busy backs and shrugged helplessly.

"Looks like it's going to be a sleepless night!"

Their focus on decorating the bridal chamber made him sigh softly, and he turned to walk towards Yu Yunyi's secluded room.

Pushing open the stone door of the seclusion room, a refreshing spiritual energy rushed towards you.

The interior is simply furnished, with the central futon engraved with spirit-gathering array patterns, and the luminous pearls embedded in the walls illuminating the entire space softly and brightly.

Li Yunjing sat cross-legged on the futon, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate his internal energy.

During his trip to the East Sea, he not only gained a wealth of cultivation resources, but also gained new insights into his own supernatural abilities through battles with powerful enemies.

Especially when facing Ao Lie, he gained a direct understanding of the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This allowed Li Yunjing to see the road ahead clearly and understand the direction of his future cultivation.

He calmed down and carefully recalled his understanding of Taoist magic over the years. Every kind of magic, supernatural power, great supernatural power, and supreme supernatural power flashed through Li Yunjing's mind like a slideshow.

As Li Yunjing became completely absorbed in his cultivation, the spiritual energy in the secluded cultivation room began to surge wildly, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy.

Li Yunjing's body was gradually enveloped in purple lightning, and the crackling thunder echoed in the small space.

Time passed quietly as he cultivated, seemingly isolated from the noise of the outside world.

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi occasionally passed by the secluded cultivation room and heard the rumbling thunder coming from inside. They exchanged a glance and then moved away from there, not wanting to disturb their man's cultivation.

After all, Li Yunjing's cultivation is more important than anything else.
