Three years later, Kunwu Mountain.

"Father, is this the family's new mountain gate? It certainly looks more imposing than the Azure Lotus Mountain Range!"

Inside the Zhou family's mountain gate, Zhou Xinyuan, who had just been brought back by Zhou Chun, looked down at her family's newly built mountain gate with a face full of curiosity and excitement.

Before the war broke out, Zhou Chun arranged for his disciple Zhou Zhiying to take him to the Ziqi Sect where Nangong Wuqing was located for refuge. He has been cultivating in the Ziqi Sect for many years.

A month ago, after spending two years setting up the Three Phases Annihilation Formation, Master Tianxuan felt safe and personally went to the Purple Qi Sect to bring back his wife, children, and disciples.

Hearing his son's excited words, Zhou Chun chuckled and said, "Of course! There's no such thing as moving getting worse!"

He then took his wife and children back to his cave.

Zhou Chun's cave dwelling is naturally located in the best place on Kunwu Peak, and its specifications are much stronger than those on Qinglian Peak.

Originally, this should have been the cave dwelling of the incarnation of the Tai Geng God Venerable, but the incarnation of the Tai Geng God Venerable preferred the scenery of another secondary peak and occupied that secondary peak as his own cave dwelling.

Zhou Chun and his family naturally dared not have any objections to this, and were even quite grateful to the other party.

The remaining secondary peak was overseen by Luo Qingni.

Speaking of which, the Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar also played a significant role in setting up the [Three Phases Annihilation Formation] so quickly this time.

Many of the materials needed to set up the formation are hard to find, and Tianxuan Zhenren doesn't have much time to waste on them.

Therefore, the deity Tai Geng manifested a special note allowing Zhou Chun to freely trade with any cultivator who possessed the relevant materials, as long as the value of the spiritual items he offered in exchange was not less than the required materials.

With the backing of this Nascent Soul stage Venerable, and Zhou Chun using the pretext of building a separate courtyard for Tai Geng Divine Venerable, those cultivators with materials naturally dared not refuse to exchange with him.

After all, some of the materials used in setting up an array, no matter how precious, are not irreplaceable.

Once the Three Phases Annihilation Formation was successfully set up, True Person Tianxuan hurriedly left.

After entering his cave, Zhou Chun instructed his Daoist partner, Su Yuzhen, to take their son, Zhou Xinyuan, to familiarize themselves with the cave. He then turned to his disciple, Zhou Zhiying, and asked, "Ying'er, when do you plan to form your Core and Nascent Soul? The spiritual energy on Kunwu Peak is much denser than on Qinglian Peak. If you form your Core and Nascent Soul here, it will be much easier!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiying immediately replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I am ready to cultivate the 'Purple Flower Demon-Subduing Spiritual Light' secret technique. Once the technique is mastered, I will go into seclusion to transform into a Nascent Soul."

This answer greatly relieved Zhou Chun, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Very good. Then you can continue cultivating your secret techniques here on Kunwu Mountain. With Senior Tai Geng overseeing this place, you don't need to worry about your safety at all!"

Then he let Zhou Zhiying choose a cave dwelling that she was satisfied with.

Kunwu Mountain is rich in spiritual energy. Even if it's not on Kunwu Peak and the two secondary peaks, the concentration of spiritual energy on some other spiritual peaks is no less than that of places like Tuyun Ridge. If a Golden Core cultivator prefers tranquility, he can occupy a peak alone and create a cave dwelling there.

If you want a better cultivation environment, you can also open a cave dwelling below the halfway point of Kunwu Peak. However, in that case, you will only have one cultivation cave dwelling, and you will basically have no private territory.

Zhou Zhiying needs to practice the "Purple Flower Demon-Subduing Spiritual Light" secret technique continuously for 24 years.

Therefore, she chose a scenic Lingfeng Peak as her cave dwelling and secluded herself to cultivate.

In fact, apart from Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, none of the other Golden Core cultivators in the Zhou family opened up cave dwellings on Kunwu Peak.

Because not only Zhou Chun resides on Kunwu Peak, but also his five demon king spirit pets.

These demon kings and their spirit pets were not as easy to talk to as Zhou Chun. When they encountered these junior Golden Core cultivators alone, they would either tease them or make them hunt for them.

They were dignified Golden Core cultivators, how could they want to be constantly teased and ordered around like this!

So they either moved to Luo Qingni's secondary peak or went to cultivate on a separate peak outside.

Furthermore, with the rise of the protective array on Kunwu Mountain, the Zhou family also began to invest manpower to develop some spiritual veins in the surrounding area. There are still many places there with a slightly higher concentration of spiritual energy than Tuyun Ridge. If they are developed and used as villas, a Golden Core cultivator could be stationed there to take charge and rule over the area!

However, after setting the overall tone, Zhou Chun ignored these matters.

After resting with his wife and children for a few months, he prepared to go into seclusion for intensive spiritual practice.

On this day, Zhou Chun was in his cave with his Daoist partner Su Yuzhen, cultivating the [Falling Treasure Golden Light] divine power, when he suddenly sensed a Nascent Soul level aura appearing outside the mountain gate.

He immediately withdrew his supernatural powers and fled directly out of the mountain gate.

In the sky outside the Zhou family's mountain gate, a blond-haired youth stood suspended in mid-air, and the aura that Zhou Chun sensed was actively released by him.

"Oh, it's you!"

With a flash of golden light, Zhou Chun's figure appeared in mid-air, and when he saw the blond youth's face clearly, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

He had seen this person before, and could even say that he had fought against him!

This was because the person was none other than the successor of the Jin Yue Sect, whom he had fought in the Void Secret Realm of Wuyang Kingdom, the guy who had almost killed his avatar and Zhou Mingde!

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhou Chun glared at the blond youth and sneered, "You actually dare to appear before me? You have quite the nerve! Do you think that just because you've successfully formed your Nascent Soul, I can't do anything to you?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and summoned the magical treasure, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Sword Gourd.

Seeing this, the blond youth's expression changed drastically, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please calm down and let me explain!"

However, he did not place all his hopes on Zhou Chun. He activated his magic weapon, and the golden armor that had impressed Zhou Chun in the past instantly appeared on his body.

"Hmph, there's nothing to explain. Just take one of Zhou's moves!"

Zhou Chun let out a cold snort and immediately threw the [Nine-Nine Profound Heaven Sword Gourd] in his hand. The gourd lid opened on its own, and streaks of golden sword energy shot towards the blond youth.

Under these circumstances, the blond youth could only activate his golden armor with all his might, causing golden runes to rise up and transform into a golden rune shield to protect him.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden light, which transformed into a golden battle axe and cleaved at the incoming sword energy.

However, he was born later than Zhou Chun, and both of his treasures were only top-grade magic weapons. How could he be a match for Zhou Chun, who was activating spiritual treasures!

Twenty-four "Mysterious Heaven Sword Qi" surged out in succession, instantly blasting the golden battle axe away and knocking the golden-haired youth's figure off the clouds, crashing heavily to the ground below.

Just as Zhou Chun was preparing to press on and continue his attack, the avatar of Tai Geng Divine Venerable suddenly appeared and shouted at him, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, stop!"

This situation was completely unexpected for Zhou Chun. His expression changed slightly, and he looked somewhat awkwardly at the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord, cautiously asking, "Senior Tai Geng, do you know this guy?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a disheveled figure flew out from underground.

The blond youth stood still in mid-air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and quickly bowed to the avatar of the God Tai Geng, saying, "Junior Xie Yunjin pays respects to Senior Tai Geng."

"This Fellow Daoist Xie is one of the two I mentioned before. Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you perhaps have some deep-seated grudge against him?"

The avatar of the Tai Geng God did not look at the blond youth, but instead frowned and looked at Zhou Chun to ask about the matter.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's mind raced with thoughts before he slowly said, "Senior Tai Geng, you are wise. Back then, this person claimed to be a descendant of the Jin Yue Sect. He opened a void secret realm in Wu Yang Kingdom and plotted to harm many cultivators who entered it to seek treasures. One of my family elders almost died inside. Later, I sent an avatar in to rescue him, but he intercepted and pursued us, and we almost perished together!"

Upon hearing this, before the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable could speak, the golden-haired youth Xie Yunjin immediately protested, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are wronging me! I only know the method to open the Void Secret Realm; how could I possibly conceal its emergence!"

"As for the subsequent pursuit and killing of Fellow Daoist Zhou and the others, it was because I was unaware of the details at the time. I was only focused on protecting the wealth within the sect's secret realm for future reconstruction. I did not intend to target Fellow Daoist Zhou and the others!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun sneered, "Is that so? You didn't say that back then. I was trying to reason with you, but you ignored me completely, only thinking about killing and stealing the treasure!"

Seeing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord frowned slightly and said, "Alright, you two should stop talking and come to my cave!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his cave.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately followed without hesitation.

After hesitating for a moment while looking at the grand formation of the Zhou family's mountain gate, the blond youth Xie Yunjin had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him inside.

Compared to Zhou Chun's cave dwelling, which was equipped with all sorts of perfect conditions, the cave dwelling of Tai Geng, the incarnation of the deity, appeared rather simple. All the items inside were made from readily available mountain stones.

His avatar's cultivation level is almost impossible to improve further, and he is not the type to enjoy pleasure, so he has no need for these external things.

At this moment, Zhou Chun and Xie Yunjin followed him into the cave. He then gently waved his hand and said, "Sit down, both of you. Let's talk things out slowly and properly."

This attitude clearly suggests a willingness to mediate.

After hearing this, Zhou Chun understood the situation and immediately abandoned any thought of seeking revenge against Xie Yunjin. Instead, he focused on how to obtain sufficient compensation for himself.

After their previous exchange, Xie Yunjin gained a more direct understanding of Zhou Chun's strength.

Even without the help of the legendary five demon kings' spirit pets, Zhou Chun's strength was far beyond what he could compare to, not to mention that even the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable now resided in the Zhou family's mountain gate!

Therefore, faced with Zhou Chun's domineering nature, he did not dare to confront him head-on.

After some mediation by the Divine Lord Tai Geng, Xie Yunjin reluctantly compensated Zhou Chun with the spatial attribute magic weapon, thus settling their past grievances.

After losing a spatial attribute magic item, Xie Yunjin finally brought up the real reason he had come today.

He cautiously looked at the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable and said, "Senior Tai Geng, I have gathered enough people. Currently, there are three Golden Core stage rogue cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion stage rogue cultivators who are willing to join my Jin Yue Sect. In addition, there are three Golden Core families and seven cultivation families who are willing to migrate to Yu Kingdom to develop. However, setting up a mountain-protecting formation is currently a problem."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed, but he remained silent.

The avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord glanced at him and said, "Do you have a preferred master of array formations? If so, I can bestow upon you a token to invite them to come and help you set up the array. However, you will need to pay for the materials and the fee yourself!"

"Then thank you very much, Senior Taigeng. I have heard that Master Yunhe of Qi Kingdom is skilled in setting up a trapping formation, and I would very much like to ask him for help in setting up the formation, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to establish a relationship with him!"

Xie Yunjin bowed slightly and whispered his request.

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable did not hesitate. He immediately took a piece of mountain stone, casually crafted it into a sword talisman, and then tossed it to Xie Yunjin, saying, "Alright, this is my sword talisman. Take it and show it to that True Man Yunhe. He should give me face."

Upon seeing this, Xie Yunjin quickly reached out and took the sword talisman, bowing deeply with a joyful expression and saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Tai Geng!"

But then, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable's gaze sharpened, and he looked at Zhou Chun and Xie Yunjin with a solemn expression, saying, "From now on, the affairs of the Yu Kingdom will be led by the Zhou family, with your two sects providing assistance. I hope that you can both put aside your past grievances, cooperate fully, and do your utmost to build the Yu Kingdom well. Do you understand?"

"Yes, this junior will certainly keep in mind Senior Tai Geng's instructions!"

Zhou Chun and Xie Yunjin exchanged a glance and immediately agreed in unison.

"Then you may all step aside."

The avatar of the God Tai Geng waved his hand, and the two left.

After leaving the cave of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable, Zhou Chun immediately looked at Xie Yunjin, who was deliberately avoiding him, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xie, if you are not in a hurry to leave, why not come to my cave for a while? I would like to discuss with you the future development and construction of the Yu Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Xie Yunjin hesitated for a moment, seemingly knowing that he could only hide for a while, but not forever, and nodded with a forced smile, saying, "In that case, I, Xie, will follow your lead and continue to talk to Fellow Daoist Zhou."

He then went to Zhou Chun's cave dwelling.

Inside the cave, Zhou Chun didn't even bother to brew a pot of tea. Instead, he took out the simple map that Tai Geng, the Divine Venerable, had given him and placed it on the table. He then asked Xie Yunjin, "This is the map of the Yu Kingdom given to you by Senior Tai Geng. Fellow Daoist Xie, where do you plan to place the mountain gate of your Jin Yue Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunjin felt a chill run down his spine and immediately understood his meaning.

His gaze swept across the map for a moment before he pointed to a spot and said, "Senior Tai Geng promised that this entire mountain range could belong to our sect, and the spiritual mountains and blessed lands within a two-thousand-mile radius around us can all be arranged and disposed of by our sect!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately compared the map he had drawn with the actual location and discovered that if they followed Xie Yunjin's suggestion, the Zhou family would lose two important mineral veins and a special spiritual site.

He then slowly said, "I have no objection to the ownership of these mountains by your Jin Yue Sect. However, I'm afraid it's unacceptable for you to dispose of the spiritual mountains and blessed lands within a two-thousand-mile radius!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunjin stared at him in disbelief, emphasizing in a very serious tone, "This is Senior Tai Geng's intention!!"

Zhou Chun replied calmly, "Fellow Daoist Xie, there's no need to rush to use Senior Tai Geng to pressure me. Have you forgotten that Senior Tai Geng also said that the Yu Kingdom should be under the jurisdiction of my Zhou family? Since it is under the jurisdiction of my Zhou family, then the ownership of the various spiritual mountains and blessed lands within the territory naturally requires the approval of my Zhou family to be valid!"

He continued, speaking with conviction, "If we proceed as you suggest, Fellow Daoist Xie, it would only take less than two thousand miles to travel from Kunwu Mountain of my Zhou family to your Jin Yue Sect's territory. Does that mean my Zhou family, as the ruler of the Yu Kingdom, has a smaller territory than your Jin Yue Sect?"

"this……"

Xie Yunjin looked at the distance between the two places on the map, unsure if the situation was really as Zhou Chun had described.

But Zhou Chun quickly added, "Furthermore, how many people does your Jin Yue Sect have now? If such a large territory is really given to you, can you manage it? If you completely neglect it, wouldn't it be easy for foreign races to infiltrate? If that delays the development and construction of the Yu Kingdom, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to Senior Tai Geng!"

Hearing his elaborate explanation, Xie Yunjin frowned and asked, "So, Fellow Daoist Zhou, how do you intend to proceed?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately declared confidently, "It's very simple. You have full authority to dispose of the spiritual mountains and blessed lands within a thousand miles of your esteemed family. The Zhou family will approve them according to procedure. As for the spiritual mountains and blessed lands in other areas, the Zhou family will decide how to handle them!"

"That's impossible!"

As expected, Xie Yunjin immediately shouted that it was impossible when he heard Zhou Chun's division plan, and he was very agitated.

Then, he stood up excitedly and looked at Zhou Chun, saying, "If Fellow Daoist Zhou insists on this division, then we can only go to Senior Tai Geng to discuss this matter again and let him be the judge!"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again!"

Zhou Chun said calmly, then waved his hand gently and said, "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk. Fellow Daoist Xie, you can talk things out properly, there's no need to get so agitated."

Xie Yunjin ignored his words and continued to look at him with great emotion, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I deeply admire and respect your strength and achievements. However, I have paid a huge price and taken immense risks to be able to establish my sect in Yu Kingdom!"

"If we follow Fellow Daoist Zhou's classification, why would I, Xie, need to risk my life in the Yu Kingdom? Whether it's the Heng Kingdom or the surrounding countries, there are sects that were wiped out by the alien races in this war. I could simply go there and compete for a spiritual land to establish my own sect!"

This statement is not actually a lie.

Just think about it, even the Qinglian Temple was able to occupy four states back then, which shows how much a Nascent Soul sect needs territory.

Without a sufficiently vast territory and its resources, how can a Nascent Soul sect maintain the welfare and benefits of its disciples?

In prosperous places like the Great Zhou Kingdom, major sects might be able to earn resources to support their disciples through commercial operations such as markets and shops.

However, in remote places like the State of Yu, for the foreseeable future, they will only be able to survive on the resources produced on the land!

Therefore, Xie Yunjin would definitely not accept the condition of only having control over the area within a thousand miles around the mountain gate.

Zhou Chun was aware of this as well. He only offered unacceptable conditions to facilitate bargaining.

Seeing Xie Yunjin's strong reaction, he waved his hand again and said, "Fellow Daoist Xie, please calm down and sit down. I was just saying that, I didn't say there was no room for discussion."

As he spoke, he glanced at the rough map, pondered for a moment, then drew a line on it and said, "Then let's do it this way. This whole area of ​​land facing my Zhou family will be entirely under the control of my Zhou family. The other areas will remain as promised to you, Fellow Daoist Xie, by Senior Tai Geng!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunjin couldn't help but look in the direction the line he had drawn.

With that line drawn, at least half of the original territory that the Jin Yue Sect had facing the Zhou family's Kunwu Mountain was reduced, and in some places, it might even be less than a thousand miles away.

However, if Zhou Chun's suggestion is implemented, the other sides could gain hundreds or even thousands of miles of additional territory.

To say whether they lost money or not, the answer is definitely yes.

But it doesn't seem entirely unacceptable!

However, Xie Yunjin knew even better that Zhou Chun's drawing of the line was definitely not done casually; there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

Therefore, he dared not agree easily, and instead slowly said, "This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make a decision lightly in a short time. Fellow Daoist Zhou, could you allow me to measure the area in person before giving you an answer?"

To his surprise, Zhou Chun readily agreed, immediately nodding and saying, "Then I'll give Fellow Daoist Xie six months to measure it. After six months, my Zhou family will invest heavily in developing the various spiritual lands!"

"Six months? Alright, six months it is then. I will come to visit Fellow Daoist Zhou again in six months!"

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yunjin agreed.

After the matter was settled, Zhou Chun did not keep the guest any longer and let him leave directly.

Watching Xie Yunjin leave, Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Those mineral veins and that spiritual land won't be easy to find. If he really does find them within six months, that would be a stroke of luck for him!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, a silver compass-like magical artifact appeared before him.

This treasure is the spatial attribute magic item that Xie Yunjin compensated him with.

According to the incarnation of Tai Geng God and Xie Yunjin, this treasure is called the "Void Compass" and can be considered a high-grade magic weapon. Its main function is to sense and open some closed entrances to the void.

Xie Yunjin was able to open the entrance to the Void Realm by relying on this item and having a general idea of ​​its location.

Besides opening the entrance to the Void Realm, the attacks released by this treasure, due to their spatial attributes, can also interfere with some spatial attribute magical abilities and spells.

After learning the purpose of this treasure, Zhou Chun's first thought was the void secret realm above the Tianlingmen ruins used for the "Tianling Trial".

But now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is uncertain whether he can enter that Void Realm.

Furthermore, it's unknown whether this treasure can actually open the entrance to that void realm.

So after studying the Void Compass, he summoned Lord Yishan and bestowed it upon him: "This treasure is for you, Feihu, to study. Don't break it."

"Thank you for the treasure, Master. I will study it carefully."

After sensing the spatial power contained in the silver compass, Lord Yishan's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

More than a month later, Zhou Chun bid farewell to his wife and children and entered the cultivation room to cultivate in seclusion.

His training room is now incredibly luxurious.

The spiritual spring he obtained from Dragon Abyss has merged with the one he originally possessed, becoming a pool of spiritual springs.

The Spirit Eye Stone obtained from the Heavenly Roc Demon King's cave was placed next to the Spirit Eye Pool, while the Spirit Eye Tree stump was placed next to the Spirit Eye Stone.

Zhou Chun himself sat cross-legged on the tree stump, carrying the Jade of the Spirit Eye.

With the blessing of so many spiritual objects and the rich spiritual energy environment of Kunwu Peak, Zhou Chun's cultivation speed was at least 60-70% faster than Luo Qingni's, who did not have these things!

His cultivation conditions are already comparable to those of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators may not even be able to match him.

After all, while those top-tier powers also possess a considerable number of spiritual eye items, they have an even greater number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If everyone shares these items, the conditions are actually not as good as Zhou Chun's, who hoarded them all.
