Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 139 Preparation
With the arrival of the Kanshui year.

Demonic disasters began to appear in the land of Qingzhou.

Sporadic monsters emerged from underground and began to kill mortals in various counties. However, these monsters were often destroyed by the immortal cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom's Evil Suppression Bureau not long after they appeared.

The resources in the underground world are even poorer than those on the surface, and it is impossible for them to breed a large number of monsters.

Yunmeng County, Lijiang Taoist Temple.

The dean of the Taoist temple is no longer Nie Xianglan.

But a middle-aged man.

At this moment, the dean of Lijiang Taoist Temple was looking at the information on a token in his hand.

“The demon tribe below Yunmeng County finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

Relying on just them, they want to break through the layers of blockades to reach the provincial capital and enter the ascension channel. This is simply overestimating their capabilities.

The location of the crypt has been basically explored, it's time to go underground."

The Qingzhou authorities had already discovered the movements of the demon tribe long ago.

Qingzhou never made any response in order to lure out these demons lurking underground.

The demons attacked the surface, and the human race also had an excuse to go underground in Qingzhou.

Because the cooperation with Kunxu has been negotiated, the immortal cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom in the Xuankong Realm are constantly withdrawing.

The Immortal Kingdom had already planned the attack direction for each state.

Abandoning the Xuankong Realm directly affected dozens of provincial capitals such as Qingzhou that had originally set their sights on the Xuankong Realm.

The ascension channel cannot be built casually.

Teleportation between states is a huge waste of resources, and the Immortal Kingdom cannot spend a lot of resources to send Qingzhou's cultivators to other states.

Since there is no plan to occupy the Xuankong Realm, the Immortal Kingdom will naturally not allow the cultivators of Qingzhou to use the ascension channel to go outside the realm as originally planned.

Provinces like those that were interrupted from going outside the realm because of the Xuankong Realm began to change their goals, which was to attack underground.

In fact, it was not only the demons from Qingzhou who encountered the immortal cultivators from Kunxu.

In recent years, the underground forces in the dozens of states connected to the Xuankong Realm have encountered the so-called Kunxu Messengers.

Those Kunxu messengers are indeed immortal cultivators from the Kunxu spiritual world.

However, the underground forces did not know that the Immortal Kingdom and Kunxu had reached a cooperation. They really thought that they could cooperate with the forces of the Kunxu Spirit World to occupy the ascension channel, and they could use it to transfer to the Xuankong World.

When the Kanshui Year arrived, the underground forces in dozens of states failed at the very beginning in their attack on the surface and did not cause any waves at all.

These underground forces did not cause any major disturbance, but the Immortal Kingdom had an excuse to attack the underground.

Purple Mountain.

this day.

After receiving the official news, Yi Jun and the other two came to find Yi Dong together.

"Qingzhou is preparing to attack the underground world?"

Yi Dong really didn't expect this.

The last time he heard Ding Yunxian say that the Immortal Kingdom might be negotiating cooperation with the Kunxu Spirit World, he thought that perhaps a breakdown in the negotiations would lead to another dispute, or perhaps Qingzhou's ascension channel would begin to connect to other mortal worlds.

Yi Jun spoke,
“In the Tiandu Spirit Realm, many innate spiritual treasures were born, but most of these innate spiritual treasures are in the hands of those ancient descendants. The Immortal Kingdom has long wanted to wipe out those descendants.

Father, this time, in the attack on the underground, the local noble families will be the main force, the independent cultivators will only be auxiliary, and the official officials of the Immortal Country will not invest too much manpower.

If our Yi family can obtain a few innate spiritual treasures, we will make a fortune."

"Oh, you want to stay?"

"No, I will go to Beiyue Spirit Realm as planned. How far I can go in the officialdom in the future depends on how much merit I have made in Beiyue Spirit Realm. I can't stay here and waste time."

Yi Dong looked at Yi Feng and Yi Ling. Yi Qing had already left early with Ding Yunxian.

Yi Ling said:

"I have to go back to Zhongzhou too. My appointment with my friend is almost up."

"Me too, I have things to do at Shenmu Taoist Temple."

In fact, Yi Feng had nothing urgent to do, but he had no interest in attacking underground.

Yi Feng learned more information at Shenmu Taoist Temple than Yi Jun and Yi Ling.

He knew that this attack on the underground would not bring much benefit to the local families, because the Immortal Kingdom had already negotiated with the ancient creatures underground, that is, the innate gods.

"Oh, right, father, the Yi family is also going to go underground, but no matter what happens, we will have to withdraw to the surface in a hundred years at most, that is, a hundred years before the Kanshui.

I can’t say much about the specific news.”

Yi Dong looked at Yi Feng, and seeing that Yi Feng really had no intention of saying more, he nodded.

It seems that this time the Immortal Kingdom’s entry into the underground is not as simple as occupying the underground world.

Yi Jun and the other two left Zijin Mountain one after another.

Entering the year of Kanshui, Yi Jun had eight children, and he wanted to take all eight children away.

Yi Feng gave birth to three sons. Among these three sons, one had natural spiritual roots, one had triple spiritual roots, and the other had no spiritual roots.

The one with the first spiritual root and the one with three spiritual roots will go to Shenmu Taoist Temple with Yi Feng, as for the baby without spiritual roots, Yi Feng plans to leave him in Zijin Mountain and let Yi Dong help take care of him.

The reason why they didn't stay in Shenmulin was because Yi Mo left three children with poor spiritual roots and three children without spiritual roots in Shenmulin for Dongfang Hong to take care of.

In the meeting hall on the mountainside, Yi Fu and Yi De were waiting for Yi Dong.

Originally, Yi De was about to be marginalized by Yi Dong.

However, after Yi Jun and others took away the backbone members of the Yi family, Yi De was reused by Yi Dong again. Soon, Yi Dong entered the hall.

"Mountain Master!"

The two men bowed to Yi Dong.

At this time, Yi Dong had already passed the position of head of the family to Yi Jun.

Even if there was no need to go outside the realm and Yi Jun had left, Yi Dong had no plans to become the head of the family again. Instead, he planned to wait for Yi Shouxian to grow up and then let him become the head of the family.

Yi Shouxian is the child without spiritual roots left behind by Yi Feng.

As for letting a mortal become the head of the Yi family, it was Yi Dong's recent thought.

Although the patriarch's power could not exceed that of Yi Dong, when Yi Dong did not take charge of things, the patriarch would still hold great power.

If he allowed a descendant with extraordinary talent to become the head of the family, and he continued to enrich himself, wouldn't that be tantamount to robbing Yi Dong of his interests?
It is also not a good idea to constantly change the head of the family, as this may cause the family to split into many factions.

After much thought, Yi Dong felt that it was quite good for a mortal offspring to become the head of the family.

A mortal can only live for about a hundred years at most.

Moreover, they do not need to practice and have more time to deal with family affairs every day.

As for whether any tribesmen will be dissatisfied?

Yi Dong planned to let the two mountain-guarding beasts and some causal puppets serve as guards for the head of the family to see who dared to disobey.

"How many of the Purple Eyes have reached the late stage of Qi Refining and the foundation building stage?"

"Among them, there are about 5,230 in the late stage of Qi Refining, and 316 in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Why are there so few foundation building?"

Yi Dong was a little puzzled. In the past, many members of the clan would borrow money to achieve foundation building when they reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Yi Fu explained:
“Miss Yi Qing and Miss Yi Ling left behind nine methods of flawless foundation building and nine methods of Zhoutian foundation building.

As long as you have the Wulou Foundation and Zhoutian Foundation, you may be able to condense a golden elixir of more than seven revolutions. Now, all the immortal cultivators in the family want to carry out these two types of foundation building and constantly polish their own foundations. "

Hearing this, Yi Dong frowned. These two daughters were causing him trouble.

Is it possible that Yi Dong is unable to research advanced skills?

The skills that Yi Dong studies generally allow one to quickly improve one's cultivation level and make breakthroughs easy.

He just wanted the cultivators in his family to quickly become combat-ready, without caring about their future at all.

He, Yi Dong, has not yet become an immortal, and the immortal cultivators of the Yi family should not pursue such an illusory goal as becoming an immortal.

Just thinking about the leak-free foundation building and the Zhoutian foundation building will require a lot of resources.

This is inconsistent with Yidong’s philosophy of developing the Yi family.

If all the cultivators in the Yi family had lofty ambitions, how could they stay in the Yi family and fight for Yi Dong with peace of mind?

However, the cultivators in the family already knew that there was a better method of building the foundation, so Yi Dong couldn't just block it off.

After thinking for a while, Yi Dong said:

“Gather all the cultivators in the family who don’t have important matters to attend to. Soon, our Yi family will go out to fight.

You go and prepare supplies for war.

At the same time, this time we will arrange positions according to cultivation level to encourage the tribesmen to break through the realm."

Yi Dong's biological research has made great breakthroughs.

However, research to date has not found any spiritual characteristics that can compare to the purple eyes talent in terms of usability and potential.

Obviously, the mutated magic eye obtained from the immortal cultivator in Kunxu was more precious than Yi Dong had imagined.

Among the Yi family's cultivators, only those with purple eyes are relatively strong, and Yi Dong only cares about these cultivators.

As for the other cultivators, Yi Fu and the others will make reasonable arrangements.

In the Ten Directions Insect Territory, three young men were driving a flying boat towards Purple Gold Mountain.

These three people are none other than the young immortal cultivators of the Yi family—Yi Renjie, Yi Renda, and Yi Renyin.

Since the generation name was established, the Yi family already has seven generations of clan members, not counting some cultivators like Yi Dong who are not included in the generation name.

These three people are the fourth generation, which is considered to be the seniority.

"Renjie, there have been many demonic disasters in Qingzhou recently. In many places, armies of immortal cultivators have gathered and invaded underground. We are probably going back this time for this matter. What do you think?"

"We have no future if we keep doing these chores. I have long wanted to give it a try."

"That's right. Ever since I saw the magical powers of Patriarch Yi Qing, I have made up my mind that I must become a strong man like Patriarch Yi Qing in this life."

Although Yi Renyin is a woman, she has great ambitions.

"Ren Yin, Yi Qing and the other four ancestors are different from us. They are the most powerful modern cultivators. There is no way we can compare to them."

“You are wrong. I had the honor of hearing from Patriarch Yi Qing that the True Immortals of the Immortal Kingdom can be compared with the strongest modern cultivators.

According to Patriarch Yi Qing, the combat power of many Yuanying of the Great Dao, if they do not use warships and other means, is equivalent to that of the immortal cultivators who have returned to the Void.

As long as we ancient cultivators have a higher realm, we can also become the most powerful cultivators in the Immortal Country."

"Become an immortal?
We in the Yi family don’t even have a Nascent Soul right now, how can we possibly become immortals?”

"So we have to fight for a future this time. We all have purple eyes, which must give us a great advantage in the underground world. If we get a chance underground, we may be able to become immortals."

From the five major spiritual places, clansmen continued to gather towards Zijin Mountain. At this time, the major families in Xia County also received the assembly order from the Pingyuan group.
