Xuan Yin Valley.

When Zhou Chun asked about the second condition of Master Tianjing, the other party stared at him without saying a word for a long time, as if he was weighing something in his heart.

This made Zhou Chun even more uneasy.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like True Person Tianjing takes this matter so seriously; anyone with a brain knows it must be a momentous event!

Could he really allow himself and the Zhou family to be caught in such a terrifying vortex just to take control of the Qinglian Mountains?

Thinking about it this way, he felt a little intimidated and couldn't help but say, "If it's you, senior..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Master Tianjing: "Actually, there's nothing that can't be said!"

His eyes were fixed on Zhou Chun as he said, "My second condition is actually quite simple, and it's also very beneficial to your Zhou family: I want you to lead the Zhou family to become the most powerful force in the Jing Kingdom after you reach the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage!"

What!

Zhou Chun was startled and stared at Tianjing Zhenren with his mouth agape, almost thinking that the other party was joking!

High emotional intelligence: I hope the Zhou family will become the most powerful force in Jing Kingdom in the future!

Low emotional intelligence: I hope the Zhou family will destroy the Moon Wheel Cult in the future!

This is the second condition that Master Tianjing mentioned!

Zhou Chun never expected that the other party would make such a condition!

To be honest, Zhou Chun could completely understand the first condition of the Heavenly Mirror Master.

After all, Qingxiao Zhenren destroyed his physical body and captured his nascent soul, cutting off his path to advancement. This enmity is irreconcilable!

Therefore, it is not surprising that now that Qinglian Temple is in trouble, Master Tianjing wants to take advantage of its misfortune and destroy it.

But the second condition is just too absurd!

What grudge does the Moon Wheel Sect have against the Heavenly Mirror Master that would make him do this?

Zhou Chun didn't understand and was deeply shocked!

Then he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Senior, are you perhaps joking with me? What merit or ability do I, the Zhou family, have to even dream of such a wonderful thing!"

He spoke with some emotion, saying, "Let alone whether I can successfully form a Nascent Soul in the future, even if I do, so what? With the foundation and resources of my Zhou family, it's already a miracle that we've managed to produce even one Nascent Soul cultivator. How could we possibly imagine bringing such a calamity upon the family, leading to its destruction!"

"Furthermore, senior, have you forgotten the fact that several fifth-tier demon kings perished together before?"

His words were spoken without reservation, representing his true inner thoughts, without a trace of falsehood!

Although he is very strong now and still has many trump cards up his sleeve.

However, he knew very well that his trump cards might not be bad compared to those of ordinary major sects, but they were simply not good enough to compare with a powerful, long-established, and dominant force like the Moon Wheel Sect!

The Moon Wheel Sect has several such spiritual treasures, even just openly!

Even if he succeeds in transforming his core and forming his nascent soul in the future, he will only be able to barely rival the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Moon Wheel Sect in terms of magical treasures.

Even with the astonishing foundation that the Moon Wheel Sect had previously revealed, even if he were to raise all his spirit pets into fifth-tier demon kings in the future, he might not be able to take over the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate!

Zhou Chun had no idea where Tianjing Zhenren got the courage and confidence to think that he and the Zhou family could go and challenge the Moon Wheel Sect.

But he knew that the Qinglian Mountain Range was definitely not enough to make the Zhou family create such a powerful enemy for them!

Therefore, no matter how eloquently Master Tianjing speaks, it is impossible to get him to agree to the second condition.

Seeing Zhou Chun's intense reaction, Tianjing Zhenren's expression remained unchanged.

After all, he was now a puppet, and his expression couldn't change with his mood.

He raised his hand and said in a low voice, "Young friend Zhou, please calm down and let me finish what I have to say."

"You may have misunderstood me just now. The Zhou family becoming the most powerful force in Jing Kingdom does not mean that we must destroy the legacy of the previous overlord's sect. We only need to have the actual strength to subdue other forces!"

"The treasure of the Moon Wheel Sect is indeed powerful, but its use must have many limitations. It is probably difficult to leave its mountain gate, so it can only be used to guard the mountain gate."

"If you, young friend Zhou, are able to form your Core and Nascent Soul in the future, and also cultivate one or two of your spirit pets to advance to the fifth rank, then you will possess the strength to dominate an entire nation!"

"At that time, all we need to do is form alliances and squeeze the Moon Wheel Sect's power down to only one or two states, and the Zhou family will naturally replace them as the most powerful force in Jing Kingdom!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun did indeed calm down considerably.

But he quickly added, "Even if, as you say, I am indeed able to form my core and nascent soul in the future, there is absolutely no need for me to take such a great risk to compete for that empty fame!"

At this point, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "My Zhou family's foundation is ultimately shallow. If one day I could truly achieve the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage, and possess several states, it would be enough to support the family's development for a thousand years. What you're talking about, senior, is something that only a power like the Yan Yang Sect, which has inherited generations of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, could consider!"

Hearing his sigh, Master Tianjing remained silent for a long time.

In fact, he agreed with Zhou Chun's words.

After all, with the Moon Wheel Sect's strong foundation and resources, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to overthrow the sect.

Originally, the Yan Yang Sect might have wanted to compete for it.

However, after the appearance of the [World-Destroying Moon Wheel], which instantly killed four fifth-tier demon kings and injured a fifth-tier high-grade demon king, the Flame Sun Sect was probably quite frightened and could only continue to be the second-in-command in the future!

It's one thing to be able to accept it, but the resentment he harbored in his heart didn't stop him from tripping up the Moon Wheel Sect and sowing discord in their eyes.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "You're thinking too simply. With your strength and potential, if you successfully form your Core and Nascent Soul in the future, even if you don't want to be enemies with the Moon Wheel Sect, they will still see you as a threat!"

"Believe it or not, if the Moon Wheel Sect finds out that your demonic beast is about to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, they will definitely use all sorts of means to sabotage it, and might even kill your spirit pet in front of you while it is still weakened after the tribulation!"

Such conspiracy theories are indeed easy to scare people into believing.

Zhou Chun fell silent.

Given the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, no one can say for sure that such a thing won't happen.

"This junior is very curious, senior, why do you harbor such deep resentment towards the Moon Wheel Sect? It seems the Moon Wheel Sect has never had any enmity with you!"

Zhou Chun remained silent for a long time, then suddenly his eyes hardened, and he mustered up the courage to ask the question.

He was genuinely puzzled as to what was wrong with Master Tianjing that made him insist on becoming an enemy of the Moon Wheel Sect.

What benefit would that bring them?

But just as he had feared, after hearing his question, the aura of Master Tianjing immediately turned cold, and an invisible pressure enveloped him.

The pressure emanating from the Nascent Soul stage cultivator made his mind sink, as if a weight had been placed on his heart.

Fortunately, with his powerful divine sense, this pressure was not enough to embarrass him; he simply lowered his head slightly in a polite manner.

"Young friend Zhou, your question is a bit too much; this is not something you are qualified to ask right now!"

Master Tianjing spoke in a cold, deep voice, his words filled with warning.

"Yes, I had no intention of offending you, senior. Please forgive me."

Zhou Chun responded respectfully and immediately bowed to Tianjing Zhenren in apology.

But the next moment he shook his head repeatedly and said, "If senior wants to make this junior and the Zhou family enemies with the Moon Wheel Sect, please forgive this junior for not agreeing to such a condition!"

After speaking, he looked at Master Tianjing with a sincere expression and said, "Although I covet the blessed land of the Azure Lotus Mountains, I have even less intention of putting myself and my family in danger because of external things!"

"You'd better think this through. A blessed land like the Azure Lotus Mountains isn't something you can occupy every day!"

"If you miss this golden opportunity, even if you successfully complete the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage in the future, it will be extremely difficult for you to acquire a spiritual mountain and blessed land of this scale for the Zhou family. You don't know how much price you will have to pay and how much time you will have to spend!"

Master Tianjing's tone turned somber, seemingly displeased with Zhou Chun's lack of tact.

However, Zhou Chun did not compromise under his pressure and firmly said, "Senior is wise, and I know very well what choice I need to make."

These firm words plunged Master Tianjing into silence once again.

Half an hour later, he slowly spoke, "And what about the relics I will leave behind after my death? If I pass away, this fifth-tier puppet body and a top-grade magic weapon can be left to your Zhou family, as can all the knowledge and inheritance I have acquired throughout my life!"

He had thought that Zhou Chun would be somewhat tempted by such conditions.

After all, even setting aside top-grade magic weapons, his fifth-order puppet body alone is a priceless treasure, not much inferior to spiritual treasures.

However, to his surprise, even with such generous terms, Zhou Chun replied without hesitation, "Senior, please forgive me, but I cannot agree!"

"Stubborn and ignorant!"

Master Tianjing gave a cold snort, immediately raised his hand and waved it away, putting away the array he had set up, and then turned and left.

As Zhou Chun watched the departing light, he felt both relieved and disappointed, his emotions were very complicated.

Zhou Chun knew in his heart that this might be the closest he had ever come to taking control of the Qinglian Mountain Range.

But he does not regret his choice.

After sighing for a while, Zhou Chun composed himself and calmly returned to his temporary residence.

Back at his post, Zhou Chun acted as if nothing had happened and did not reveal anything to outsiders.

For the next two weeks, Zhou Chun and the others rested in the Qinglian Mountains and cleared out the high-level demonic beasts that had not yet escaped from the mountains and Lianzhou.

But just when Zhou Chun thought that after a period of rest and reorganization, the allied forces would take the opportunity to head south to Yunzhou and reclaim this last lost territory in one fell swoop, the allied forces stopped their attack.

The reason for the allied forces to stop their attack was quite simple: Yunzhou was now heavily fortified, and there were huge groups of water monsters from Longyuanze in the rivers and lakes. It would be extremely difficult to reclaim this place.

The key point is that the Jiaolong clan seems to have no intention of backing down any further. The number of "Dragon Court Warriors" that have appeared in Yunzhou alone is as high as 100,000!

In addition to the "Cloud Piercing Lobster" and "Giant Tide Dragon Crab" that Zhou Chun had seen before, there were several other special beast groups.

Under these circumstances, facing the monsters who had the advantage of terrain, the allied forces temporarily chose to rest and remain inactive.

Whether to continue the attack or stop here depends on what those Nascent Soul stage cultivators think.

What Zhou Chun didn't expect was that half a year would pass quickly.

Even after six months, there was still no definite news.

Until this day, he met the Heavenly Mirror Master who came to see him alone again.

"Young friend Zhou, have you considered my original conditions these days?"

Inside Zhou Chun's temporary cave dwelling, the Heavenly Mirror Immortal, who had suddenly appeared, brought up the old matter again after Zhou Chun had paid his respects.

In response, he immediately replied firmly, "Senior, you are wise. I do not regret my choice!"

Such a firm tone and attitude left Master Tianjing speechless, unsure how to respond for a moment.

He could only quickly change the subject, saying, "Did you know that the Yan Yang Sect has proposed bringing in a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from another country to cultivate in the Qinglian Mountains, and supports them in establishing a sect here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, then he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this junior before."

His tone was very calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

This made even Master Tianjing admire his composure and determination.

He immediately continued, "Because it was the Yan Yang Sect's suggestion, and they also submitted their recommended rogue cultivators, the Yue Lun Sect hasn't agreed to it yet. However, this also means that the issue of the ownership of the Qinglian Mountain Range can no longer be delayed!"

"Furthermore, I can tell you something else: the allied forces will be withdrawing soon, and Yunzhou may not be able to be reclaimed for a very long time!"

call!

After hearing what Master Tianjing said, Zhou Chun actually breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, after seeing that the Allied forces had rested for more than half a year without continuing their offensive, Zhou Chun knew that the situation had changed and the war might not continue.

The words of Master Tianjing now merely confirm his guess.

This also means that the large-scale war will come to a complete end, and the Zhou family and other surviving forces of Jingguo can call back their clansmen and rebuild the mountain gate.

He naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the matter of the Azure Lotus Mountains, he had given up hope after rejecting the conditions offered by True Person Tianjing, and he didn't care much about it at the moment.

He simply cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for informing me of this news, senior. I will soon summon my clansmen back to Tuyun Ridge to rebuild the mountain gate!"

These words both expressed gratitude for the information provided and conveyed the speaker's own perspective.

But this was clearly not the answer Master Tianjing wanted to hear.

He spoke again, saying, "The fact that the Moon Wheel Sect hasn't immediately agreed to the Flame Sun Sect's proposal shows that they don't want the Flame Sun Sect to gain an advantage in this matter. If your Zhou family can join forces with me now, there's a high chance you'll gain the Moon Wheel Sect's support and successfully take control of the Azure Lotus Mountain Range!"

Faced with his temptation, Zhou Chun looked at him helplessly and said, "Senior, I believe what you say, but please forgive me for not daring to agree to your conditions!"

"How about I change my terms? I'll help your Zhou family take control of the Azure Lotus Mountain Range in exchange for you doing me a favor after you reach the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage!"

Master Tianjing stared directly at Zhou Chun and suddenly said something that greatly surprised him.

After a slight pause, he looked at Master Tianjing with a wary expression and said, "Senior, could you please explain in detail what this matter is about? If you want me to help you deal with the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Moon Wheel Sect, please forgive me, but I cannot agree!"

Master Tianjing seemed to have anticipated his response, and immediately said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it's definitely not that kind of thing. If I were to ask you to do such a thing, you are free to refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was greatly surprised, wondering why he had suddenly become so agreeable.

So, unable to resist, I mustered up my courage and asked, "Senior, aren't you afraid that I might agree now but then go back on my word later?"

"If you go back on your word, I certainly have the ability to make you regret it!"

Master Tianjing gave him a deep look and replied in a chilling tone.

This made him realize that the other party was capable of both words and deeds.

After only a brief moment of thought, he nodded solemnly and said, "Very well, in that case, this junior, on behalf of the Zhou family, agrees to your conditions, senior!"

This answer greatly pleased Master Tianjing, who immediately advised, "Very good. In that case, to avoid any unforeseen complications, go and meet with the leader of the Moon Wheel Sect and bring this matter up to him. See how he reacts!"

"Yes, I understand."

Zhou Chun responded, her heart filled with excitement.

He never imagined that what he thought was impossible would now have a great chance of being accomplished.

He didn't know what caused Master Tianjing to change the conditions.

But for the Zhou family, this is an opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime.

He must seize this opportunity and do his best to accomplish this!

After discussing the relevant cooperation matters with Master Tianjing, Zhou Chun quickly embarked on his journey to the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate alone.

Fortunately, it is now basically confirmed that the war will not break out again, otherwise it would not be so easy for Zhou Chun to leave the garrison.

After traveling for half a day, he soon arrived at the gate of the Moon Wheel Sect.

The writing is a bit convoluted, I don't know why. I feel like I need to speed things up, it's almost three million words!
