Chapter 254 Peace
The result of the joint exploration of the underwater cave heaven by Tianhe Sect and Shangqing Sect finally came out, and the whole cultivation world was extremely amazed.
"Five Jindan-stage ancestors failed to stop the stone egg. What kind of ancient demon beast is this? It is so powerful just in the egg?"
"No, it is said that an ancient giant demon has set up a back-up in the cave heaven. At that time, the demonic energy in the sky burst out, and the stone egg broke through the air with the thick and rich demonic energy!"
"The back-up that can make the Jindan-stage cultivators unable to stop it must be set up by a fourth-level demon beast, right?"
"That level should be called a demon cultivator."
When the demon beast reaches the fourth level, it has the ability to transform, which is equivalent to the Yuanying-stage cultivator of the human race.
When the demon beast breaks through from the late third level to the fourth level, it has to go through a thunder tribulation. Once this thunder tribulation is passed, it can transform into a human.
Therefore, the demon beasts at this stage are generally called demon cultivators.
After this incident, a number of independent cultivators went to the Black Sand River to investigate the situation.
"The Black Sand River changed its course, and the entire river basin was destroyed!"
"That cave in the water has almost turned into ruins!"
"Someone picked up a few pieces of the dried bones of a third-level demon python in it. Although the spirituality was completely lost, it still caused a fight."
"If the spirituality was completely lost, why would you still rob it? If it was really valuable, it would have been taken away by a master in the Jindan stage."
"A cultivator who is good at self-cultivation believes that even if the spirituality is gone, grinding the bones of this third-level demon python into powder may prolong life!"
"."
In short, after the Black Sand River was attacked by five Jindan stage cultivators, it was really disturbed by a group of independent cultivators.
When everything calmed down, the Black Sand River had become a complete wasteland, and it had nothing to do with the word treasure land.
In the past, there were cultivators who practiced water-attributed techniques and occasionally applied to Tianhe Sect to practice there. Now, the spiritual energy in this place is chaotic and thin. It will take hundreds of years to recover.
After the matter was settled, several months passed in a flash.
Another piece of news was passed, and it spread throughout the entire Xiuxian world at a very fast speed!
"Tianhe Sect and Shangqing Sect are going to stop fighting and make peace!"
Qinghuatan, when the news of the end of the war came, Li Qing was still a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect peace to come so quickly.
"It's been nearly seven years since the war, and it's finally going to stop!"
Although he had never experienced the turmoil of war, Li Qing couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that the Xiuxian world was finally peaceful.
"Peace is a good thing. No matter what, a peaceful world is a blessing for low-level cultivators like me."
Just when Li Qing was about to bring this news to Taoist Qingyang, he suddenly found that Chu Daoyou, who had a good relationship with him, was full of resentment at the moment, and there was no trace of joy for peace.
Bang!
The Tianhe Sect disciple stationed in Qinghuatan slammed the table and said to himself in anger: "What a shame!"
Li Qing was confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Chu Daoyou, what are you doing?"
As soon as he asked, the other party handed Li Qing a piece of information he had just received.
"In the next fifteen years, 30% of the income from the spirit stone mine of Tianhe Sect will belong to Shangqing Sect."
"In the next ten years, 40% of the spirit stone income of Tianhe Market will belong to Shangqing Sect."
"Spirit gold veins everywhere."
After reading these unequal clauses, Li Qing opened his mouth and couldn't help sighing: "So this is the price of peace, such a clause that will humiliate the sect."
Chu Tiankuo, whose eyes were slightly red, whispered at this time: "Friend Li, this information was originally confidential. I showed it to you today, but you must not spread it out. It concerns the reputation of my Tianhe Sect."
"Please rest assured, Friend Chu, I still understand the truth that trouble comes from the mouth. I am definitely not a gossipy woman with a loose mouth." Li Qing solemnly promised.
But in fact, even if he didn't say it, this peace clause would probably not be concealed for too long. There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world.
"Alas, as you said, this clause is a loss of power and humiliation!" Chu Tiankuo said bitterly.
Li Qing did not comment on this. He was an outsider and would look at things from a more objective and fair perspective.
What can be confirmed at present is that the Shangqing Sect has become a big trend. With the existence of Linglong Zhenren, it is estimated that Tianhe Sect will have to live under the shadow of the other party for hundreds of years in the future.
Such a young Jindan Zhenren, with a Linglong treasure body, I am afraid that no one in Tianhe Sect can be her opponent in a few years.
She doesn't even need to wait until she reaches the Yuanying stage, as long as she reaches the late Jindan stage, with the advantage of the Linglong treasure body, she may be able to sweep away all enemies alone.
"I think the fundamental reason is still on the Black Sand River. The two sects each sent a foundation-building elder to explore the demon clan cave heaven. More than half of the elders who entered were lost, which was too tragic."
Li Qing analyzed it carefully and explained the fundamental reason.
In the case that the two sects' Jindan ancestors did not take action, the foundation-building elders became the most critical backbone.
Tianhe Sect, which suffered heavy losses in the demon clan cave heaven, naturally had to grit its teeth and sign such terms.
After bidding farewell to Chu Tiankuo, Li Qing went to visit Taoist Qingyang’s cave.
Two months later, some clues about the clause were revealed, and they could not be concealed.
"What, Tianhe Sect even agreed to such conditions?"
"Of course, you know how powerful Linglong Zhenren of Shangqing Sect is. What else can you do if you don't agree?!"
"It seems that this battle really hurt Tianhe Sect."
"In the next ten years, these immortal cultivation families that depend on Tianhe Sect will have to grit their teeth and tighten their belts to live."
Li Qing, who used to be a spiritual miner, naturally knew very well that once these clauses were implemented, they would eventually have to be implemented on those casual cultivators.
And as time went on, even these immortal cultivation families would have to have a lot of emotions.
After analyzing all this, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh:
"What a great conspiracy. It's not enough to incite a historian to rebel. This is to force all the surrounding immortal cultivation families to become disloyal to the Tianhe Sect."
Li Qing could think of these things, and someone in the Tianhe Sect must have expected them.
In this regard, the Tianhe Sect's idea is also very simple. The iron must be hard to forge. As long as the sect is strong enough to suppress these immortal cultivation families, there is no need to worry about being betrayed by friends and relatives.
Sure enough, a few months later, the Tianhe Sect began to show its strength and show its muscles.
Liu Huaian, a Tianjiao disciple with a natural spiritual root, successfully built his foundation!
No matter what, he is a natural spiritual root. Now that his injuries have healed, he has rushed into the foundation-building period like a broken bamboo.
And according to the disciples in the sect, Liu Huaian didn't even take the foundation-building pill to build his foundation!
When this news came out, countless casual cultivators were so envious and jealous. Good qualifications are so willful.
There is no way. This is the spiritual root of heaven. It can be cultivated all the way to the Jindan stage without any bottlenecks along the way.
However, soon, not long after, the news of Shi Nantian's successful foundation building also came out.
Unlike Liu Huaian, Shi Nantian took the foundation building pill to build his foundation. After all, he was a disciple who had made contributions. The accumulated contributions to the sect could be exchanged for a foundation building pill.
But this did not prevent other casual cultivators from being shocked, and even the surrounding immortal cultivation families felt a wave of pressure.
Shi Nantian is from the Shi family. The Shi family, which already had two foundation building cultivators, now really has three foundation building cultivators in one family!
Someone once said this at the Ascension Conference, and now it has come true.
Three foundation building cultivators in one family, such a prosperous immortal cultivation family, is an existence that many cultivators will look up to.
Many old foundation building elders passed away in the war, and now young foundation building cultivators are rising.
Li Qing understands that a new era is coming.
Within a few days, almost at the same time, another young disciple of Tianhe Sect successfully built his foundation.
This person is none other than Li Qing's acquaintance, his name is Jiuxiao!
The news of the disciples' successful foundation building came out one after another, and the casual cultivators in the outside world were a little numb. At this moment, they understood more clearly what the foundation of the immortal sect was.
They had been struggling for a lifetime to build their foundation, but in Tianhe Sect, it was indeed not worth mentioning and not worth looking at at all.
Jiuxiao's successful foundation building naturally required a foundation building celebration, but he was not a boastful person, so he only invited his acquaintances to come to Tianhe Sect for a gathering.
Among them, Taoist Qingyang and Li Qing were also among them.
Yes, Jiuxiao naturally knew about Li Qing's seclusion in Qinghuatan during this period.
However, Jiuxiao was indeed upright and kept his promises. Even after so many years, he still remembered Li Qing's kindness in repairing the spirit boat for him. Naturally, he also invited him to the foundation building celebration.
Looking at the gold-plated invitation in his hand, Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Alas, everyone has successfully built their foundation, when will it be my turn?"
After saying this, Li Qing put away the gold-plated invitation and swallowed a Peiyuan Pill.
