Horizon Communication Mirror
In addition to the troop deployment details, the treaty also stipulated the method for calculating the war merits and the details of the distribution of spoils after the war.
All materials from the Demon Beast captured in this battle will be confiscated and refined into Law Artifact and elixirs by Heavenly Ruins Mountain, to be used as rewards. The difference is that the rewards for this battle are more than 50% higher than those for the Azure Sun Alliance.
According to the agreement of the Azure Sun Alliance, the reward for killing a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Demon Beast is equivalent to 800 Spirit Stone in resources, but Heavenly Ruins Mountain is offering a reward equivalent to 1,200 Spirit Stone.
The reason for such a high reward is twofold: first, to encourage all the immortal clans to fight for this battle; and second, because the materials obtained, once refined into pills and magical Law Artifact, are worth more than double the value of the materials themselves.
For example, the inner core of a Tier 2 Low-grade demon Demon Beast is worth around five or six Spirit Stone, but if it is infused with the Five Elements Essence and burned with array patterns to be refined into Tier 2 Magical Tool, its value will more than double, not even counting the flesh, blood, fur and other resources.
Therefore, Heavenly Ruins Mountain still makes a profit from this price, just much less than Azure Sun Sect.
Having made a profit from this, Heavenly Ruins Mountain was solely responsible for both the rewards and the compensation for the deceased.
According to the alliance's stipulations, any cultivator who dies in battle against the Beast Turmoil will be compensated with 50 to 100 Spirit Stone depending on their cultivation level for Qi Refining realm stage cultivators, and one Foundation Establishment Foundation-Building Pill for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Although the compensation for Qi Refining Cultivator may seem small, it will be a huge expense. After the Beast Turmoil ends, the compensation for Qi Refining Cultivator alone may cost hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone.
Because in every Beast Turmoil, more than 20% of the cultivators in the Chu Kingdom would die in battle, and if a rout occurred, they might even suffer 30% or 40% casualties.
This was still organized resistance; if they hadn't organized a united resistance, the entire county and even the entire state would have fallen.
At that time, even Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Immortal Clan will be reduced to ashes, with only a few escaping with their lives, let alone the lesser Immortals and Rogue Cultivator with lower cultivation levels.
After each Beast Turmoil, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World would suffer heavy losses, with more than 20-30% of those at the Qi Refining realm and Foundation Establishment likely to perish, and it would take decades to recover to their peak.
The compensation wasn't particularly large, but the cultivators had to participate in the war, because if they didn't unite to fight the Demon Beast, the only outcome would be that their entire clan or even their entire state would become food for the Demon Beast.
All they could do was try to preserve the young seedlings so that the older cultivators could fight the Demon Beast.
The compensation for each person ranges from tens to hundreds of coins, and once the number of those who died in battle reaches a certain level, the amount can be quite staggering.
Just like the alliance we signed, if we suffer a crushing defeat and too many cultivators die, the profits we earn will not be enough to fill the hole, and Jiang Linglong will probably have to pay a heavy price.
Beast Turmoil a hundred years ago, six or seven Purple Mansion cultivators died in the Three Provinces under the Azure Sun Sect, nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators perished, and more than 30,000 Qi Refining Cultivator died under the claws of the Demon Beast.
The result of this battle was too tragic; more than 30% Three Provinces the cultivators from Azure Province, Yang Province, and Border Province were killed.
Tens of millions of mortals died, and a large area west of Jiaoyang Mountain in Yang Province fell. Tens of millions of mortals were exposed to the claws of the demons and became food for the Demon Beast.
The Azure Sun Sect suffered a great loss in that battle. The compensation for the Qi Refining Cultivator alone would cost nearly two million, and even with the high profits, they could only fill about 70-80% of the hole.
Two million Spirit Stone! That's enough to buy two Five-Elements Spirit Fruit, and if you're lucky, it could even create one or two Golden Core realm cultivators.
However, the actual amount of compensation distributed by the Azure Sun Sect was less than 60%, because many immortal clans had already been wiped out, and there was simply no one to inherit the compensation.
It is said that some immortal clans that were wiped out, such as the Wang Clan of Ink-Splash Ridge in Jiaoyang Commandery, had seven or eight Foundation Establishment and over a thousand Qi Refining Cultivator killed or wounded, and no compensation was given. This saved the Azure Sun Sect two or three hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
Given the circumstances at the time, it was quite illogical that none of the thousands of cultivators from the Wang Clan survived, and even the Lineage Lineage had long been hidden in Azure Province mysteriously perished.
The various immortal clans all roughly understood what had happened, but due to a lack of evidence and the absence of anyone to stand up for the Wang Clan, the matter was left unresolved.
In addition, the Azure Sun Sect withheld Foundation-Building Pill and other supplies under various pretexts, so the actual amount of compensation distributed by the Azure Sun Sect was only slightly over one million Spirit Stone, and they still made a profit of several hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
"Compared to that, Jiang Linglong is much fairer."
The thought flashed through Chen Nianzhi's mind. After confirming that there were no problems with the alliance, he signed his name and affixed the clan seal of the Chen Immortal Clan.
Soon everyone had finished reading the alliance agreement and signed their names on behalf of their respective Lineage. The various immortal clans also affixed their clan seals.
After the alliance was signed, everyone present smiled and felt a sense of security.
Such formal alliances are often very binding, and the consequences of violating them are enormous. Violation would not only result in the joint extermination by the major immortal clans of the Border Province, but also in the ostracization of the entire Chu Kingdom Cultivation World.
Moreover, when making the covenant, everyone must also swear Heart-Demon Oath. If they break this oath, they will suffer the calamity of inner demons in the future, and their cultivation Dao Path will become extremely difficult.
"Good."
Seeing everyone sign the alliance and Heart-Demon Oath, Jiang Linglong felt a little more at ease.
She looked at everyone, raised her hand and released three beams of light, which fell into the hands of Chen Nianzhi, Xu Daoyuan, and Yang Yuanhe.
Chen Nianzhi took the treasure and discovered that it was actually a mirror made of Mystic Iron. This treasure was only one foot in size, but it weighed more than ten thousand catties, which was truly Bu Fan.
Seeing the puzzled looks on the three people's faces, Jiang Linglong remained calm and explained.
"This is the Horizon Communication Mirror, consisting of one mother and three children. It is a set of low-grade third-tier Law Treasure, capable of transmitting information across 300,000 li."
"The mother mirror is in Heavenly Ruins Mountain, and these three are the child mirrors. Take these three child mirrors to the three prefectures and place them on Tier 2 high-quality Spirit Spring, and you will be able to exchange messages with the mother mirror."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of ecstatic joy.
Holding the precious mirror, Xu Daoyuan said with some excitement, "With this precious mirror in hand, wouldn't we be able to send messages at any time, allowing the troops in the Border Province and Heavenly Ruins Mountain to support each other, without the danger of being defeated one by one?"
Chen Nianzhi also showed a hint of joy. Although Yu Commandery also had a communication talisman, it could only travel 10,000 to 20,000 miles and could only be used nine times.
Compared to this third-tier Law Treasure that can transmit messages over 300,000 miles, it's like heaven and earth, utterly incomparable.
"This precious mirror is forged from Mystic Iron."
"No wonder she asked me for 30,000 jin of Mystic Iron; it turns out it was to forge this set of third-tier special Law Treasure."
