I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 675: Secret Realm Quota, Master Tiegui (4k, please subscribe)

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Xuanren Immortal City.

In the Southern Region, the only force and person worthy of Feng Yuan and Jile Shenhou's joint efforts to plot against is the old god of Sanxi League.

This cultivator was named "Master Tiegui". Although he was the only one to achieve the state of incarnation in the Sanxi Alliance, he had always been superior to the Nine Nations Alliance because he had reached the middle stage of incarnation one step ahead of Feng Yuan and Jile Shenhou.

It is worth mentioning that Master Tiegui is not a human cultivator, but a famous demon in the southern region of Dayan.

However, it chose the path of transformation rather than the path of returning to its ancestral bloodline chosen by monsters such as the Sky-Splitting Eagle, so its habits are almost the same as those of human cultivators.

The Sanxi League under his command is also a human force, not a demon force.

But because of this, the source of cultivators in the Sanxi Alliance is far more complicated than that of the Nine-Nation Alliance, and it truly “opens to all who come.”

"I wonder if I can get a piece of Feng Yuan and Jile Shenhou's plan for the Iron Turtle..."

"We can even take this opportunity to eliminate Feng Yuan, a potential threat..."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered as he secretly took note of this matter.

Today, the fourth incarnation of the God in the Southern Territory is undoubtedly him, the visitor from the Cang Territory.

Once he enters the game, he, who is on the outside, will be a force that cannot be ignored, whether it is for Master Tiegui's side or for Feng Yuan and Lord Ji Le Shen Hou's side.

……

Although the alliance joining ceremony encountered some twists and turns due to the involvement of Lord Ji Le Shen Hou, fortunately Feng Yuan appeared in time, took charge of the situation, and continued the ceremony.

Wei Tu and Chen Tan successfully joined the Nine-Nation Alliance as planned and became the inner hall elders of the alliance.

The Nine-Nation Alliance is divided into two halls, the inner and outer halls.

The elders of the outer hall are monks from outside the alliance who are appointed to serve in a temporary position. Wei Tu held this position a few years ago.

The elders of the inner hall are the true ruling class of the Nine-Nation Alliance, and are considered their own people in the eyes of the two great gods, Feng Yuan and Lord Ji Le.

On this day, Wei Tu finally got to the bottom of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

——Know the exact number of Inner Hall elders.

After he and Chen Tan joined, there were thirteen elders in the inner hall.

Among them, there were as many as eight people who openly pledged allegiance to Feng Yuan.

Apart from the "Elder Huang" whom he met at the underground auction that day, the only cultivator loyal to Lord Ji Le was Lord Zhou, who was also a member of the royal family of Liuyang State.

The remaining Han Danshi and others expressed neutrality and did not clearly join any side, and were only loyal to the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Of course, Feng Yuan's large number of supporters is also closely related to the power of the Taizhen Sect. After all, the four great Taoist masters of the Taizhen Sect plus Chen Tan make up five quasi-gods.

However, in Wei Tu's opinion, the power of Taizhen Sect is inseparable from the help of the ancestor Feng Yuan.

Compared to the sinister and eccentric temperament of Lord Ji Le Shen Hou, Feng Yuan is obviously much better and is quite courteous to others.

For someone like him, no matter how broad-minded he is, he would not rashly accept a statement of unknown origin.

No matter how high this child's potential is.

……

After the joining ceremony.

After Wei Tu and Chen Tan officially became elders of the Inner Hall, they both began to enjoy the obvious benefits of becoming elders of the Inner Hall - the opportunity to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm.

In another thirteen years, the Luoxia Secret Realm, which opens once every fifty years, will open again.

Wei Tu and Chen Tan arrived at the right time by chance.

However, the number of vacancies also depends on the inner hall elders' background, contributions within the alliance, and status.

For example, Chen Tan, who was closer to Feng Yuan, was the fifth Taoist leader of the Taizhen Sect and was allocated three places by the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Another example is Master Han, who is the top-ranked quasi-fifth-level alchemist in the Nine-Nation Alliance and has the ability to refine infant-replenishing pills. He has worked hard and made great contributions in the Nine-Nation Alliance, and was awarded four places.

Origin, contribution within the alliance, status...

These three Wei Tus were all ranked at the bottom of the Nine-Nation Alliance, so the number of places allocated to him was the least among all the Inner Hall elders, only two places.

However, this is also the normal treatment of "marginal people" among the elders of the Inner Hall, and it cannot be said that the Nine-Nation Alliance treats Wei Tu harshly.

——If he wanted to ask for more places, he could either join Feng Yuan or Jile Shenhou like Chen Tan, or choose Master Han Dan's path and prove his worth to the Nine-Nation Alliance with his abilities.

Hard work pays off and fortunate ministers are rewarded. This is the norm for all forces in the world, not just the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Moreover, these two places are already a huge benefit given by the Nine-Nation Alliance to marginal elders like Wei Tu.

For example, Master Deng spent a huge sum of money to buy a place from Wei Tu a few years ago.

"There are two places left. According to the agreement, one will be given to Sect Leader Deng. There is one left..."

After the joining ceremony, Wei Tu went to the elder cave assigned to him by the Nine-Nation Alliance. He touched his chin, thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this "welfare".

The most suitable realm for cultivators in Luoxia Secret Realm is the late Nascent Soul stage.

There is no other reason. The quasi-god-transformation and god-transformation cultivators will be bound by the shackles of heaven and earth in the Luoxia Secret Realm, and the Dharma images they have condensed will find it difficult to exert their power.

Of course, this does not mean that in the Luoxia Secret Realm, the quasi-god-transforming cultivators are weaker than those in the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, it is really not cost-effective for a quasi-god-transforming cultivator to go to the Luoxia Secret Realm. If he is exchanged for a son by a cultivator from his alliance, he will have no place to cry.

Therefore, supporting the "agents" of the secret realm and letting other cultivators adventure and search for treasures in the secret realm on their behalf is a common practice for the quasi-god-transforming cultivators of the two alliances.

However, as he "came" from the small sect of Dingling Sect, it was difficult for him to find another late Nascent Soul cultivator to be his agent at the moment.

The candidate he preferred was Gong Shulan.

Gong Shulan, who fights as a human puppet, is undoubtedly a top-level fighter in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But unfortunately, he and Gong Shulan were not as close as Fu Zhizhou.

At present, he did not know Gong Shulan's specific whereabouts in the Southern Region, nor did he know what alias this woman might have used.

In Dingling Sect, the only cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is Lu Xiqing, who has not much time left.

"Forget it! Give this person a promotion once."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu gave up the idea of ​​looking for Gong Shulan. He shook his head and thought to himself.

The Luoxia Secret Realm opens once every fifty years.

This position is precious to Sect Leader Deng, but to him, it is just an ordinary thing that has been waiting for fifty years.

In another forty years, it would be time for him to meet with Gong Shulan, Fu Zhizhou, and Fu Linglong.

At that time, the spot for the next Luoxia Secret Realm will be sold to Gong Shulan.

This time, the quota was given to Dingling Sect as a favor, and it could be considered as a reward from him to Dingling Sect.

After all, Dinglingzong and Wen Changying treated him pretty well.

“Instead of sitting in the sect and waiting to die, it is better to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm and give it a try. Perhaps there is a chance of achieving quasi-godhood.”

Wei Tu wrote these words on the head of the letter and then sent a messenger from the alliance to Dingling Sect to deliver the letter.

Fighting for a chance of survival and a long life may be a regret-free approach to life, but... in this world, it is normal for the elderly to fear death and difficulties.

The older you get, the less courage and drive you have as a young person.

Wei Tu gave this quota to Dingling Sect out of humanity, not to Lu Xiqing. He and Lu Xiqing had little affection for each other, so he wrote this encouraging word that could not be retreated. With these words, if Lu Xiqing was afraid of fighting, then he would not have the public spirit to revitalize Dingling Sect.

Of course, Wei Tu would not be so harsh to an old man from Dingling Sect whose half body was already buried in the loess.

After luring him to the Luoxia Secret Realm, he will do his best to help Cun Lu find out everything and will not really let this person die in the Luoxia Secret Realm.

However, then again, if Lu Xiqing was old and afraid of difficulties, and refused to accept the wealth and honor offered by him, then it would not be wrong for the sentence he wrote to become a derogatory word used by the monks of Dingling Sect to belittle this old man in the future.

——Because it is indeed lacking the public spirit to revitalize the Dingling Sect.

After all, how many opportunities will it have to revitalize the Dingling Sect, which has fallen to this point?

……

A few days later.

The messenger of the Nine-Nation Alliance delivered the letter to Dingling Sect on behalf of Wei Tu.

Wen Changying wrote this letter personally.

But after reading the letter, her face was filled with not only joy, but also unstoppable sadness.

Wei Tu lived a reclusive life and had no idea that Lu Xiqing had shut himself off in a cave several years ago and refused to see any visitors because he was suspicious of their relationship.

Now, Wei Tu's words were so "cold and hard" again. She was worried that this move would anger Lu Xiqing, causing her to have a knot in her heart, and she would be unwilling to go and would go against Wei Tu.

“It’s hard to be a big family, but it’s even harder to be a small family!”

Wen Changying sighed secretly.

But since the matter involved the future of Dingling Sect, even though she was worried about the consequences of presenting this letter to Lu Xiqing, she had to go to Lu Xiqing's cave.

just.

What surprised Wen Changying was.

Lu Xiqing, who had been self-righteous for a long time, did not get angry after reading the letter. Instead, he agreed happily and expressed his willingness to go to the Luoxia Secret Realm to take the risk and risk his life.

“It’s a luxury to find an opportunity in Luoxia Secret Realm and break through to the Quasi-God Transformation Realm… but it would be good if we could find some resources here to enrich the foundation of our sect.”

Lu Xiqing stroked his beard and smiled.

Hearing this, Wen Changying was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was very reasonable.

Previously, Lu Xiqing was just dissatisfied with Wei Tu's growing power in Dingling Sect, which then created the risk of causing chaos in Dingling Sect, but now Wei Tu gave away this quota... obviously to let Dingling Sect become stronger.

There was no reason for Lu Xiqing to refuse this benefit.

"Thank you, Dad."

Wen Changying bowed deeply and said solemnly.

This time, Lu Xiqing's trip to Luoxia Secret Realm is to risk his life to revive Dingling Sect's hope. It is more dangerous than other cultivators who entered Luoxia Secret Realm.

It is possible that this separation will be one between us forever.

……

same moment.

Sanxi League, Xuanren Immortal City.

After the joining ceremony, after about half a month of fermentation, the title of Wei Tu and Chen Tan, the "Twin Dragons of the Nine-Nation Alliance" acknowledged by Feng Yuan himself, was finally known to the cultivators of the Sanxi Alliance.

"Wen Tianqi..."

In a luxurious cave, a burly man with a strong build and wearing a black robe had a ripple in his calm eyes when he heard the name.

This person is none other than the great repairer Kou Sizhou, who has become completely famous in the Sanxi League and the Jiuguo League.

Just like Wei Tu Zhi Kou Si Zhou is Fu Zhizhou's pseudonym.

When "Kou Sizhou" heard the name "Wen Tianqi", he also had some guesses in his mind.

However, it did not match the pseudonym "Wang Tianqi" that Wei Tu had given him before, so although he had a guess, he did not dare to confirm it rashly.

“We will know when the Luoxia Secret Realm is opened in thirteen years.” Fu Zhizhou shook his head, closed his eyes again, and practiced his skills.

Along with the reputation of Wei Tu and Chen Tan, the "Twin Dragons of the Nine-Nation Alliance", also spread to the Sanxi Alliance the news that the two great gods, Feng Yuan and Jile Shenhou, were not getting along.

To this news.

The cultivators of the Sanxi League did not pay much attention to it, because the Venerable Huashen was really too far away from them, and that kind of high-level struggle had little to do with them.

But there was one person in the Sanxi League who was an unexpected event.

"Does Ji Le really want to join me?"

In the cave in the center of Xuanren Immortal City, a short and fat old man with a ruddy complexion, holding a beautiful female cultivator in his arms, kept stroking the information jade slip in front of him, looking a little excited.

The Nine Nations Alliance and the Three Rivers Alliance have been confronting each other for nearly a thousand years.

At the beginning, he was able to gain the upper hand by virtue of his cultivation advantage, but as time passed, Feng Yuan and Ji Le Shen Hou's cultivation increased and their magical powers soared, and he felt more and more struggling facing these two.

Especially when he learned that Feng Yuan had made friends with a Cangyu queen named "Ding Lezheng".

If the three great gods joined forces, even though he would not be afraid with his strength in the middle stage of the gods, the influence of the Sanxi League under his command would definitely be greatly compressed.

Therefore, during these two hundred years, he kept sending letters, trying to bribe the Lord of Bliss to rebel in order to rebalance the current situation.

But unfortunately, all the letters fell into oblivion.

Until three years ago, that changed.

——The Lord of Bliss took the initiative to write him a letter.

In the letter, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou expressed his intention to rebel against Feng Yuan and establish his own regime.

The reasons for his rebellion are also extremely credible.

First, he has been suppressed by Feng Yuan, the leader of the alliance, and his power has been constantly restricted.

Second, Feng Yuan wanted to invite Ding Lezheng to join the Nine-Nation Alliance and become the third leader.

The Lord of Bliss and Feng Yuansu had always been at odds with each other, but they had always tolerated each other because they had a common enemy. But now with the addition of Ding Lezheng, the situation is of course very different.

This time, the Lord of Bliss put obstacles in the way of Wei Tu and Chen Tan to show his determination.

"However, we still cannot fully trust this Blissful Divine Marquis. Feng Yuan may seem cheerful, but he is actually very meticulous, insidious and cunning."

"Besides, although this person has the intention to betray Feng Yuan, he will never think of conspiring with me to kill Feng Yuan."

After a moment, Master Tiegui calmed down and suppressed his greed with reason again.

"But Ji Le's request can still be met." Master Tiegui took out the letter sent by Ji Le Shen Hou three years ago, his eyes flickering.

In this letter, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou made a request to him, which was also the price of his rebellion.

——Demand for the tortoise shell he shed in his early years, and then refine it into a magical treasure to use to resist Feng Yuan.

He is a shapeshifting demon, and his new tortoise shell has much stronger defensive capabilities than his old one.

Besides... he has already sacrificed this tortoise shell to make it into a spiritual material. Without its bloodline aura, it will not become a problem for him, so it will not be a big deal to give it away.

Using this item to gain the allegiance of the Lord of Bliss is a great bargain.
