Chapter 425 Territorial division
Ding Xing had just used a tight hoop to capture Lei Kun, and the old monster Qiu Zheng also chased after him through the waterfall.
When he looked around in the cave, he could not see the figure of the Dongting Ape Ancestor. The old monster Qiu Zheng sank his face and asked, "Where is Dongting? Where did he escape?"
Ding Xing pointed to the ruins of the portal: "These ape monsters secretly built a teleportation array. They all escaped through the array gate. I don't know where they had escaped, so I didn't have time to stop them."
Zhong Jianwei smiled bitterly in his heart. What does it mean to not be too late to stop them? It was obvious that he let them go on purpose! With Ding Xing's magical power, he could completely destroy the formation gate in advance. Even if the Dongqun Ape Girl escaped, the Dongting Ape Ancestor would never be able to leave!
But Zhong Jianwei did not expose Ding Xing because Ding Xing's water release behavior was of great benefit to the Nine Sects of Tiandong. Today, letting Dongting Ape Ancestor and Dongqun Ape Girl will win the gratitude of Qingyun Ape Ting. Then, when the demon clan and human cultivators break out in the future, they will only target Jiusu Xueyuan, not Tiandong Jiusects.
"I and Junior Brother Ding have tried their best, but they still did not leave the old demon in Dongting! But we captured the murderer who killed fellow Daoist Qiu Yanke!" Zhong Jianwei not only did not expose Ding Xing, but helped to cover him.
He kicked Lei Kun who was lying under his feet: "Please look at the ancestor Qiu. Fellow Daoist Qiu died at the hands of this thunder ape. How to deal with it depends on the words of the ancestor Qiu!"
Zhong Jianwei knew that the old monster Qiu Zheng would not believe his words, but what if he didn't believe it? This is the territory of the Nine Sects of Tiandong. Whatever the monk Tiandong said is, even if the old monster Qiu Zheng was dissatisfied, he could only endure it.
But strangely, the old monster Qiu Zheng, who was already in a state of rage, soon calmed down after hearing Zhong Jianwei's words. He asked, "Junior Brother Ding? This fellow Taoist looks like a face-to-face. How dare you ask which sect of junior brother Ding is?"
He was looking at Ding Xing and asking questions.
Ding Xing replied: "Ding Xing is from Qiongtai Sect and has met Ancestor Qiu!"
The old monster Qiu Zheng's eyes lit up: "You are fellow Taoist Ding Xing. Last year, I received a message from Su Shang saying that you have successfully entered the mansion and may return to Tiandong in the near future. I have been paying attention to your whereabouts and are preparing to invite you to a party when you come back. I didn't expect to meet here. It's such a coincidence!"
Originally, Zhong Jianwei was worried that the old monster Qiu Zheng would get angry, but he didn't expect that such a happy conversation would be like this.
After learning about Ding Xing's identity, the old monster Qiu Zheng seemed extremely enthusiastic. This reminded Zhong Jianwei of what Qiu Yanke once said on the sea. Jiusu Xueyuan suddenly changed his strategy and chose to form an alliance with the Tiandong Immortal Cultivation World, which was entirely because of Ding Xing.
It seems that this is true.
The old monster Qiu Zheng measured Ding Xing for a moment and asked again: "Actually, I have learned about your participation in Haishi, and thought you would return to the Qiongtai Sect soon. I didn't expect that you had been wandering overseas for a month, and you persisted in pursuing Taoist Yun Geng. Do you have any deep hatred for him?"
Ding Xing said bluntly: "I was chasing him not because of hatred, I just didn't want him to incite the war again! As long as he is still alive, as long as the Hetao Sect is not destroyed, they will be troubled by attacking the Nine Sects of Tiandong. I don't want them to do this!"
The old monster Qiu Zheng nodded: "Oh, I understand!"
He is the supreme ruler of Jiusu Xueyuan. The order to form the alliance with the Nine Sects of Tiandong this time was delegated by him. In the short term, this order is really stupid and thankless.
But he still insisted on the implementation of the order and asked the Snowfield monks to do their best to help the Nine Sects of Tiandong destroy the Hetao Immortal Cultivation World.
Because he believes that doing so will have considerable long-term returns.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Ding, you have created a chapel sect in the territory of Jinjing Buddha. This sect has been established for less than a hundred years, and the number of disciples will definitely not be large. If I select a group of young children in the snow field to come to the door to become disciples, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ding is willing to accept them?"
This is the shrewdness of the old monster Qiu Zheng.
The ancient secrets he learned from Qiu Suchang were much more than Qiu Yankee. He knew that the Duxing Continent in the future would sooner or later return to the unified town of Xiyue Wenzong. All the sects in the six immortal cultivation worlds can inherit the legacy of Wenzong, and whoever can inherit the legacy of Wenzong will be incredible in the future.
So where is the direct tradition of Emperor Wenzong?
Only Ding Xing's family.
Except for Ding Xing's chasm, no other force is orthodox.
So the old monster Qiu Zheng wanted to place a bet earlier.
His alliance with the Tiandong Nine Sects is actually part of the bet.
At present, the Nine Sects of Tiandong will probably not invest so much money on Ding Xing, but the old monster Qiu Zheng dares.
As long as the Xueyuan people can obtain the status of the chapel sect's disciples, the future Qingyun Ape Court, the Nine Sects of Tiandong, and even the forces from the mainland alone will no longer threaten the development of the Xueyuan people.
Of course, the old monster Qiu Zheng also knew that the Xueyuan people had provoked war against Ding Xing's hometown, and Ding Xing would not have any good impression of the Xueyuan people, but the old monster Qiu Zheng did not expect Ding Xing to become a close friend of the Xueyuan people overnight.
Friendship can be managed slowly.
The old monster Qiu Zheng is very patient.
He also said: "If the magistrate selection standards of the magistrates are too high, then the Xueyuan tribes are willing to relocate some of their clan members to Duanjin Valley, build a group of immortal villages, and serve the magistrates specifically. What do you think of Fellow Daoist Ding?"
When Ding Xing heard that he put his posture so low, he agreed to his request: "As long as your subordinate is not afraid of long-distance fatigue, I will ask the archery clerk to give your subordinate the territory to build a fairy village."
Ding Xing cannot refuse such a thing, because once it refuses, it means that Ding Xing is unwilling to establish a long-term alliance with Jiusu Xueyuan, and the consequence is that he will directly push the old monster Qiu Zheng to the opposite side of the enemy.
It is not worth the cost and there is no need to do so.
Seeing that he agreed, Old Monster Qiu Zheng seemed extremely satisfied, and immediately expressed his opinion: "I will support the two fellow Taoists Guan Shen, so that they will never let Old Taoist Yun Geng and the Hetao Sect have a chance to make a comeback! In addition, after this battle, I will order the Xueyuan tribes that in the future, no monks from Jiusu Xueyuan will cross the border to Tiandong to provoke the war, and even a fight between soldiers and soldiers in the mortal world will not appear!"
As long as the magistrate sect has been recruiting people from Xueyuan as disciples, the Xueyuan tribes will always maintain peace with the nine sects of Tiandong. This is the promise of the old monster Qiu Zheng.
After saying that, the old monster Qiu Zheng left the water cave and went to siege Taoist Yun Geng.
"Old Ancestor Qiu, what are you going to do with this thunder ape?" Zhong Jianwei chased and asked for instructions.
"The Thunder Ape has great magical powers, so let it take Fellow Ding to take care of the mountain gate of the Guardian Sect!" The old monster Qiu Zheng could see that Ding Xing deliberately let the Dongting Ape Ancestor go. Since that's the case, he would go with the flow and hand Lei Kun over to Ding Xing to deal with it.
Zhong Jianwei listened for so long, but he still couldn't understand the specific meaning of the conversation between the old monster Qiu Zheng and Ding Xing. After leaving Qiu Zheng, he asked Ding Xing for inquiries: "Junior Brother Ding, Old Master Qiu said that you have created a new sect in the Golden Eye Buddha Realm. Is this true? You won't want to leave the Nine Sects of Tiandong, right?"
Over the past month, he has heard Qiu Yanke talk about the inside story of the alliance on the sea. Given that Qiu Yanke himself did not understand it in depth enough, it was difficult for him to understand the cause and effect of the whole incident. However, he knew that the ability to destroy the Hetao Immortal Cultivation World and regain all the territory of the Demon Realm this time was closely related to Ding Xing.
He definitely didn't want Ding Xing to leave the Nine Sects of Tiandong. If Ding Xing leaves, Jiusu Xueyuan will change his mind again, and then there will definitely be bloody storms.
Ding Xing smiled and said, "Even if I move to the Golden Eye Buddha Realm to practice, am I not a monk Tiandong? Brother Zhong, don't worry, I am enlightened and practicing in the Qiongtai Sect, and the identity of a disciple of the Qiongtai Sect will never be removed in my life!"
At that time, Ding Xing and Yan Wuque had an agreement that after the matters of the Qiongtai Sect were handled, they would return to Duanjin Valley to go to seclusion and practice. At that time, Ding Xing would take away a group of disciples from Yuexing Winery, but he would not be able to move all the people there.
After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Xianzhuang under the jurisdiction of the Nine Sects of Tiandong has long been mixed, and almost all the disciples of each Xianzhuang have been brought to him. Even if Ding Xing wants to move Yuexing Winery to Duanjin Valley as a whole, the villagers may not be willing to go with him.
Therefore, the relationship between Ding Xing and Tiandong’s immortal cultivation world is unbreakable.
Speaking of this, Ding Xing moved to Lei Kun and said, "You need to serve in the Palace Sect for a while. When you redeem all the sins of killing fellow Qiu Yanke, I will let you return to Qingyun Ape Court."
Lei Kun snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that your demon-suppressing ring will not do anything to me! Unless you guard me every day, you can't stop me from running away!"
Ding Xing said it didn't matter. He just suppressed Lei Kun just now just to give an explanation to the old monster Qiu Zheng, but the old monster Qiu Zheng didn't care about this matter at all. Then it would naturally be irrelevant whether he kept Lei Kun by his side.
He took Lei Kun out of the waterfall, but saw sword lights flashing in the sky, which lasted for a whole night. It was not until dawn the next day that the battle between the late-stage monks of the Purple Mansion came to an end.
Taoist Yun Geng finally did not escape the siege of Guan Daocheng and his wife and the old monster Qiu Zheng. After his death, the Hetao Immortal Cultivation World was denied from the Duxing Continent.
The melee that lasted for more than a hundred years ended here.
Tiandong is still the original Tiandong. Although four of the thirteen sects were destroyed, the territory was still firmly in the hands of the monk Tiandong.
In the following months, the ancestors of the Zifu Palace of the Nine Sects of Tiandong began to gather frequently, mainly to discuss the re-division of the territory. In addition, after a hundred years of joint combat, the monks of the Nine Sects established extremely intensive exchanges. Everyone had the idea of merging the Tiandong Territory and were preparing to merge the Demon Realm, Binghua Mountain, Wei Kingdom, Tiandong Mo, Juanchen Mountain and Yuezhi Kingdom into one, and unify the town into a kingdom.
However, this matter is very involved and a unified opinion cannot be reached.
This day.
In the Lingmen Dojo of the main vein of Qiongtai Sect, Ding Xing was standing on the top of a Lingfeng Mountain floating in the air, looking up at the horoscope of disasters and celestial phenomena entrenched in the sky.
Lingmen Taoist temple is one of the three major Taoist temples of the Qiongtai Sect. It originally belonged to the former ancestor Ji Zhenwei. Its territory is the smallest among the three major Taoist temples, but the environment is unique. A floating spirit mountain is sacrificed every few dozen miles, and all the caves of the disciples are opened on the mountain.
Since Ding Xing returned, he has chosen a mountain to settle down in the Lingmen Taoist temple. Originally, the Ding family wanted to build a brand new practice palace for Ding Xing, but Ding Xing refused.
Nowadays, the Nine Sects of Tiandong are discussing the division of territory. Ding Xing has convinced Hu Yan Xuanyi to relocate Qiongtai to Yuezhi Kingdom, so as to facilitate transactions with the mermaids and deal with Red Boys, and to obtain the Huanyang clam beads regularly and smoothly.
In principle, the Nine Sects of the Tiandong East will not oppose Ding Xing’s request for the territory, but they need to discuss repeatedly in details. Anyway, the Yuezhi Kingdom will definitely be under the jurisdiction of the Qiongtai Sect in the end.
Considering that his temple would eventually settle in Yuezhi Kingdom, Ding Xing did not let the Ding family mobilize the troops. When the new site was relocated in the future, it would not be too late to build the temple.
"Old ancestor, when do you think the teacher will be successful in entering the mansion?"
This is a young female cultivator behind Ding Xing asking questions.
When Ding Xing was on Diaobi Island, he once asked Ding Yingnan for information about the Ding family disciples.
During the 100 years since he left Tiandong, the number of Ding family monks did not increase much. There were only more than 130 monks in total, and two of them had achieved great success in the alchemy.
One is Ding Xing’s nephew Ding Wangfan, and the other is Ding Xing’s junior Ding Yunruo.
Ding Xing once set the name "Xiao Jinyun Dou Tianwen Seal" for the disciples of the Ding family. Ding Yunruo is the third generation disciple of the Ding family. Her great-grandmother is Ding Xing's cousin Ding Yuning. She is less than 100 years old and has the highest cultivation qualifications in the entire Ding family. As long as she is well trained, she will be expected to enter the mansion in the future.
Ding Yunruo is also the only apprentice received by Concubine Qiao Xi.
When Qiao Xifei and his teacher Ji Zhenwei went to Qingyun Yuanting to work in the office, he met Ding Xing by chance. When he was about to part, Ding Xing taught Ji Zhenwei the twelve volumes of the true scriptures "Chonglou Tianlu". In order to commend Ding Xing's contribution, Ji Zhenwei promised to move all Yuexing winery into the dojo to protect him, and select a clan member from the Ding family, so that Qiao Xifei would take him as a true disciple and become her direct disciple.
A few years after Concubine Qiao Xi returned to the Qiongtai Sect, she picked Ding Yunruo from the Ding family. She has been with her since she was a child and devoted her efforts to teach her. Ding Yuruo could form a golden elixir in just one hundred years, which is closely related to Concubine Qiao Xi's cultivation.
After a hundred years of hard practice, Qiao Xifei's cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds. Her qualifications were originally the best. When she was attracted by Ji Zhenwei when she was young, she predicted that she would have the chance to rush to the purple palace before she was two hundred years old. She was originally a hardworking and diligent person. In fact, before Ji Zhenwei sat in the process, her magic power had reached the completion of the Golden Elixir stage.
At that time, she was already qualified to enter the palace.
But Ji Zhenwei was approaching, and knowing that she was worried, she strictly forbidden to rush through the pass during this period. Until Ji Zhenwei passed, Qiao Xifei devoted herself to rest for several years. She originally wanted to announce her residence in the near future, but unfortunately she encountered the invasion and war caused by the Hetao Sect, so she had to postpone the arrival of the residence again.
When the battle in Hetao came to an end, Ding Xing had already returned. With Ding Xing beside him, Concubine Qiao Xi was completely at ease. She only met Ding Xing in a hurry and began to retreat and advance.
Today, Concubine Qiao Xi has reached the most critical moment of advancement.
She had already triggered the spiritual tide, transformed the golden elixir, condensed the purple mansion, and successfully took the first half of the step toward the mansion.
Ding Xing knew the celestial phenomena in it, so he said to Ding Yunruo: "Her purple palace has been cast, and he will be baptized by the heavenly tribulation. If you can see the strange scene of purple qi soaring into the sky, it means that she has resisted the heavenly tribulation."
Ding Yunruo looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with light blue colors in the blue sky, and she was looking forward to the purple air rendering the sky.
I was extremely nervous, afraid that Concubine Qiao would fail to resist the disaster.
Ding Xing looked calm.
After waiting for a while, he suddenly turned around and stared at the sword lights flying dozens of miles away. One of them stood Hu Yan Xuanyi.
Over the past few months, Hu Yan Xuanyi has been negotiating at the headquarters of the Nine Sects in Binghua Mountain to negotiate the division of various territories. Now he has suddenly rushed back to the Qiongtai faction, and the negotiations have probably come to an end.
Chapter completed!
