Sun Slayer Heavenly Lord Released from Prison

While cultivating, Jiang Ding continued to keep an eye on the development of the Tushan Maid Corps for several years.

The situation was temporarily stable. With ten thousand people stationed at the center of the eastern Black Snow Grassland—the three top-grade third-tier spirit veins where the Six Paths Sect had persisted in resisting—they set up formations and established Tushan Central Court as their center of governance.

Then, each division sent teams of a thousand to various parts of the eastern Black Snow Grassland. Whenever they reached a third-tier spirit vein, they left people behind to occupy it, accept the allegiance of nearby Foundation Establishment factions, and bring them under their rule.

Each Golden Core cultivator presided over a third-tier spirit vein.

Any Golden Core-level faction that stubbornly resisted was eliminated on the spot.

Thus, over several years, the eastern Black Snow Grassland was brought under control. The Tushan Maid Corps began collecting taxes, conscripting troops, developing commerce and agriculture, just as they did within Tushan Immortal City.

Their annual remittance was thirty percent of that year's revenue: two hundred million low-grade spirit stones.

Among it, fourth-tier heavenly treasures were exceedingly scarce, while there were some third-tier heavenly treasures; the overwhelming majority were first- and second-tier heavenly treasures.

By this point,

Jiang Ding's annual income exceeded four hundred million low-grade spirit stones, enough to cover part of his cultivation needs.

Tushan Central Court's plan was that in the tenth year, once the eastern Black Snow Grassland had been stabilized and some troops replenished, they would immediately expand toward the territories of the three clans, including the Yin Clan, near the Six Paths Sect's mountain gate, growing through war.

They made all these decisions themselves. After a Central Court resolution was passed, they merely submitted a backup copy of the meeting record
