Disposition of the Immortal Clans

Many of the Purple Mansion Ancestors had murderous intent on their faces. These territories were won by everyone through bloodshed, and in principle, everyone should have a share of the resources within them.

But now it has been monopolized by a few immortal clans, who have secretly excavated it for decades or even centuries. How can they possibly accept this?

"What do you suggest we do about this?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes turned cold, and she spoke with increasing murderous intent intent.

Pan Boyuan stood up angrily, cupped his hands to Chen Nianzhi and said, "These Lineage have encroached on the resources we have worked so hard to acquire. This is truly outrageous and infuriating. I hope that the Ancestor will severely punish them and not let them off lightly."

"The territories we conquered have had their resources stolen by a small group of people." Meng Xingwan, the patriarch of the Meng Immortal Clan, said firmly, "If we don't punish them severely, everyone will follow suit and hide their mineral veins."

"We who fight for the Heavenly Ruins Alliance receive no reward as a result. Who would still be willing to fight for the Heavenly Ruins Alliance?"

Seeing the Purple Mansion Ancestors launching their attacks, the leaders of six or seven Purple Mansion Immortal Clan and dozens of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan were filled with terror.

Despite his noble status as Purple Mansion Ancestor, Patriarch Fang knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Ancestor, I know I was wrong. Please spare our lives for the sake of the Fang Clan's many years of bloody battles for the Heavenly Ruins Alliance."

"Snort--"

Chen Nianzhi's expression was indifferent, but a hint of sternness flashed in her eyes.

His gaze sent chills down everyone's spines. After a long pause, he spoke, "Considering your contributions to the Heavenly Ruins Alliance over the years, I'll spare your lives."

"However, the Immortal Clan involved in this offense will have their ill-gotten gains confiscated, and all their assets, including Spirit Mountain and Earth Vein, in Heavenly Ruins Province and Earth Lion Province will be seized."

Among the cultivators present, Patriarch Fang and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Although the wealth of the various immortal clans would shrink by more than half after their industries and illegally mined resources in the two states were confiscated, this was within their expectations.

The fact that they were spared was already beyond their expectations, and they nodded repeatedly with great excitement.

The Patriarch Fang hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude, saying excitedly, "Thank you so much for sparing my life, patriarch. I will remember this lesson and never do it again."

"Don't thank me yet."

Chen Nianzhi snorted coldly. He raised his hand and sent several spirit talismans into the bodies of seven Purple Mansion Clan Master. Then he released dozens of sword intents and sent them into the brows of dozens of Foundation Establishment Clan Master.

After doing all this, before anyone could utter a sound of fear, he coldly said, "These Sword Talisman were personally crafted by me; I can kill you all in the blink of an eye."

"If you want to avoid death, you must atone for your sins. If each of you kills a Demon Beast of the same level and brings back Demon Beast inner core, I will remove the Sword Talisman from you."

"This..."

As they sensed the sword intent and Sword Talisman within their bodies, they couldn't help but turn pale.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators were somewhat better off, but the seven Purple Mansion leaders present were all terrified. Sky Ruins, it was almost impossible to find any Purple Mansion level Demon Beast in the Tianxu and Dishi continents.

If they want to atone for their sins, they must venture deep into the Demon Race realm to slay powerful demons, a task fraught with immense risk.

Despite their fear, they understood that there was no room for argument here.

They could only kneel on the ground, saying in fear, "Rest assured, True Person, we will definitely return with the Demon Beast's head."

"Then you may leave."

Chen Nianzhi waved his hand, signaling the people to leave.

After the offending immortal clan leader left, he looked at the remaining immortal clan members and said, "I will reclaim the properties of these Lineage in the two states and then sell them off at a discounted price."

"If you are interested, you can discuss it with the elders of my Chen Clan."

After speaking, Chen Nianzhi stood up and left the main hall.

As for minor matters such as negotiating the sale of Spirit Mountain and confiscating the Lineage Spirit Stone, Chen Nianzhi did not need to handle them personally.

Chen Nianzhi returned to the spirit mine and continued to cultivate the Spirit Vein, while Chen Qinghao and Chen Nianchuan began to handle the minor details.

After working tirelessly for more than half a year, they obtained more than three million Spirit Stone from the various Lineage through fines and also obtained more than three million Spirit Stone by selling these Spirit Mountain and mines.

In total, they obtained nearly seven million Spirit Stone, which directly solved the major expenses of cultivating Tier 4 Spirit Vein.

With the Spirit Stone, the cultivation of Tier 4 Spirit Vein became much faster. The Chen Clan worked for nearly two years before finally completing the upgrade of the Tier 4 Spirit Vein.

After advancing to the Tier 4 the Spirit Vein, Jiang Linglong personally set up a Tier 4 Mountain-Protecting Array and said with great joy, "With the protection of the Spirit Mountain and the formation, this Spirit Stone mine should be safe and secure."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, but still said, "The Lineage has two more Void Gemstone. If we set up another Teleportation Array Disk, it will be even safer."

"Alright."

Jiang Linglong said, and then mobilized people to refine the Teleportation Array Disk. After three months of hard work, the array plate was successfully completed.

After setting up the Teleportation Array, they left Chen Nianchuan there to oversee the situation, and then returned to Spirit Isle Lake to continue their secluded cultivation.

"..."

Time flies like water, and more than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chen Nianzhi opened his eyes in the Seclusion Chamber, took a slow, deep breath, and sensed the 20% increase in his Law Power. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that not long ago, he had finally completed his cultivation and reached the threshold of the Sixth Golden Core Layer. This seclusion had indeed allowed him to successfully break through to the sixth Golden Core tier stage.

This year is the year 19522 in the Dao Calendar. If you calculate carefully, Chen Nianzhi is only a little over 320 years old. If he can cultivate to the Sixth Golden Core Layer at this age, he will probably be able to cultivate to the Golden Core Grand Completion when he is a little over 400 years old.

Suppressing her joy, Chen Nianzhi emerged from her Seclusion Chamber.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Linglong, who was guarding outside the door, exclaimed with delight, "You've broken through?"

"It went fairly smoothly."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, but her eyes were fixed on the Spirit Peach Tree beside her.

This year's Heavenly Earth Spirit Peach are different from previous years; the number has increased significantly, with a total of twenty-seven hanging on the tree.

The Heavenly Earth Spirit Peach has endless uses. It takes ten years to bloom, ten years to bear fruit, and another ten years to ripen. Once ripe, one Spirit Peach can be refined every ten years, and consuming it can increase one's cultivation by thirty years.

Over the years, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong have relied entirely on the Heavenly Earth Spirit Peach to rapidly increase their Law Power, achieving a cultivation level increase every thirty years.

He remembered that Tier 4 Low-Grade Spirit Peach Tree could produce nine Spirit Peach each time, and after they used them, there were hardly any left over.

Later, it grew to the Tier 4 Mid-Grade, producing eighteen Spirit Peach each time, thus generating more than ten Spirit Peach to nurture Ya Ya, Nianchuan, and others.

Now that we have nine more Heavenly Earth Spirit Peach, we can cultivate three more Golden Core realm cultivators.
