Chapter 201: Time is like flowing water
Maybe it was because of Tang Daoyou's death, or maybe it was because Wang Dao felt that his time was running out, so Wang Dao became sentimental and told Lin Xiao a lot of past events.
When he was a teenager, Wang Dao was heroic, he was a genius disciple in the sect, he participated in the annexation war of the sect, and made Danyang Sect the overlord of Tianyun Prefecture.
Wang Dao, who came back after traveling, did not have the ambition he had before, and knew the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world, but he still did not lack the courage to integrate the entire Tianyun Prefecture, launch an annexation war, and annexed the two territories of Ninghe Prefecture and Qingshan County, so that the territory of Tianyun Prefecture was more than doubled.
At the same time, it also makes the Danyang Sect unprecedentedly powerful, there are three monks in the Daogang period, dozens of purple mansions, more than a thousand condensation veins, occupying several high-level spiritual mountains, and genius disciples emerge in endlessly, it can be said that Wang Dao's life is magnificent and very exciting.
"I've been boasting for so long, but Master Lin didn't stop me, my Wang's exploits are really not worth mentioning in front of Master Lin."
"Wang Daoyou, don't say that, Danyang Sect, no, in the history of Tianyun Prefecture, Wang Daoyou's exploits are indispensable, if you don't have your mind, how can there be Tianyun Prefecture today, just look at Baiyan Prefecture, what is it like now?"
"Haha, Master Lin praised me like this, then I'm welcome, your Heavenly Saint Sect will soon become the overlord of Tianyun Prefecture, may I ask you, are you ready?"
"It's done, Wang Daoyou rest assured, the Nine Sects Alliance, the strategy of the same qi and branches will not be easily changed, Tianyun Prefecture needs to be united, and the tide rises and falls, when your Danyang Sect is in decline, will my Tiansheng Sect be able to prosper forever, I will do my best to preserve the interests of the Danyang Sect, and the Xuanjing Mine in Danxuan Mountain will not allow anyone to touch it."
"Does Master Lin know how big the veins of Danxuan Mountain are?"
"Wang Daoyou rest assured, I know it in my heart, but my Heavenly Saint Sect will not covet it, no matter how good the veins are, there will be no more after digging, but it is the current source of wealth of my Heavenly Saint Sect, although the development is bumpy, but it can be developed in a circular way."
Lin Xiao shook his head, half of the wealth of the Danyang Sect relied on Danxuan Mountain, and at least tens of millions of Xuanjing had been dug up over the past few decades, but Lin Xiao would not be blushing.
"Just in terms of mind and bearing, Wang is not as good as Lin Zhang, if it were me, it would definitely be red-eyed"
"Wang Daoyou said and laughed"
"Master Lin, the overlord sect is not so easy to be, there are some things that I originally said to you later, but now that I have encountered them, let's say them together..."
Wang Dao shook his head, and then began to become serious, and told Lin Xiao some things about the overlord sect, such as the order of Yunzhou today is very different from before, and the benefits of the overlord sect are actually very small, but the responsibility is not less at all.
For example, to regulate the internal contradictions in Tianyun Prefecture, now there are more than 100 large and small sects in Tianyun Prefecture, and there are many entanglements of interests and grievances between each other, so the overlord sect must regulate them, and cannot break out large-scale battles.
Only when Tianyun Prefecture is generally united, Tianyun Prefecture has the strength to fight against foreign enemies, and the overlord sect can also maintain its status, such as Pure Yang Palace, the reason why Pure Yang Palace is helpless against Tianyun Prefecture is because of the long distance, it is because Tianyun Prefecture is united, and the top few sects are not birds Pure Yang Palace, so Pure Yang Palace cannot divide and disintegrate Tianyun Prefecture.
And if the rest of the states and counties had the strength of Tianyun Prefecture, the Pure Yang Palace would have collapsed a long time ago, and the states and counties like Baiyan Prefecture could quickly divide the Pure Yang Palace.
The other is the development direction of Tianyun Prefecture, to the south to open up the Henggu Mountain Range, the Henggu Mountain Range is high, and the demon beasts on the mountain are self-contained, especially the snow demon above, which is mysterious and powerful, and is not suitable for development.
To the north, Tiannan Prefecture and Baiyan Prefecture are in the way, although their strength is very poor, it is easy for Tianyun Prefecture to annex them, but once they are annexed, they will have to face the Pure Yang Palace, once the Pure Yang Palace can directly attack Tianyun Prefecture, with the current size of Tianyun Prefecture, it is tantamount to looking for death.
If you develop to the east, after annexing a state, you will have to face the enemy country, and then the border pressure will allow Tianyun Prefecture to drag a large number of people, which is not suitable.
Therefore, the most suitable thing is to go west, occupy the territory of the original Chen Kingdom, and then turn south, go to pioneer the wilderness, and snatch the resource Spirit Mountain from the mouth of the demon beast, although the sixth-order demon king has repeatedly warned, but who will take it seriously, isn't the vast territory of the human race robbed like this?
However, this development has to solve the problem of Chen's internal strife first, the previous annexation war has been stopped for seven or eight years, and now the two sides are still accumulating strength, it is estimated that it will take a short time, and now the responsibility is still in the hands of Danyang Sect, but then it will be necessary for Tiansheng Sect to take over.
Wang Dao had already promised that he would end the matter of Chen Guo before he and Lang Dao sat down, which could be regarded as a big gift to the Heavenly Saint Sect, and as a reward for the Heavenly Saint Sect to protect the Danyang Sect at that time, Lin Xiao also agreed.
"There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, and the ancients did not deceive me"
When leaving Tianhaimen, Lin Xiao sighed, Wang Dao is a very powerful person, but unfortunately, the road is not very smooth, if there is no great opportunity, it will be difficult for him to break through the spiritual light.
And the Assassin God is a representative of the unrighteous and helpless, countless forces are fighting with them, even if they want to clear their name, no one is willing to give them a chance.
After returning to the Heavenly Sage Sect, Lin Xiao told the three disciples about this matter, letting them know the meaning of having more help for the Tao and less help for the unjust, don't think that if the sect is strong, you can sit back and relax, you can act recklessly, no matter how strong the sect is, there will be a day when the sect is weak, if you don't want to be left behind, then make more friends, less offend people, if you really want to do it, then fight to the death, don't give others a chance to take revenge.
Lin Xiao did not retreat, and paid more attention to the sect, and Lin Xiao also found that now the number of people in the sect is falling more and more every year, and the number of people who die in battle has decreased, but there are more people who can sit down.
When Lin Xiao first came, there were only three of the thirty disciples left, and the rest were either killed in battle or died, and the remaining three were not long in time, and they were dying.
Next is Li Mingyang's first batch of more than 300 disciples, that batch of a total of Li Mingyang, Xu Zhongsheng, Wang Xiaoxi and other eight people broke through the Purple Mansion monks, lived for 200 years, and now it is only halfway, it is the prime of life, but those who have not broken through are also eighty or ninety years old, except for a small number of people who died in battle, they have all entered the countdown to life.
Under the Purple Mansion are normal people's longevity, that is, about a hundred, but not every immortal cultivator can live to be a hundred years old, it depends on the situation, some people have injured their foundation in previous battles, or they are directly disabled, and their longevity will be greatly reduced, and some people have a normal life of not living to be 100 years old because of their physique, just like mortals, some people live a long life, and some people die at the age of seventy or eighty.
Lin Xiao asked Zhang Mingtang to count it, and found that over eighty years old, there were more than 500 disciples below the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion, and these more than 500 people were hopeless, and it was impossible to break through the Purple Mansion again, and they would sit down one after another within twenty years, on average, there would be more than 20 people every year, and they would grow old, and the people behind them would also grow old.
In fact, this is just a normal phenomenon, but Lin Xiao watched the old man continue to die, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, if the disciples of the sect can't keep up with him, maybe in a few hundred years, there will never be an old man by Lin Xiao's side.
After understanding this situation, Lin Xiao asked Zhang Mingtang to adjust some of the rules of the sect, and the disciples under the Purple Mansion, if they were not burdened with heavy responsibilities or special skills, could retire at the age of about eighty, remove their positions in the sect, and increase their basic treatment by one-tenth, and then send them to retire.
Those who want to stay in the sect can stay, and those who want to go to mortal villages and towns to become rich can also be fulfilled, and will be issued according to their status and contribution to the sect, the heavenly holy order is divided into three levels, and their descendants can join the heavenly holy sect with the heavenly holy order, and become disciples of the outer gate, the inner door, and the core according to the level of the heavenly holy order.
Of course, the treatment of the core disciples is no less than that of Lin Xiao's apprentices, and there are very few people who can get this token, and they must make great contributions.
With the implementation of this policy, within three months, more than three hundred elderly monks left the mountain gate and went to the mortal villages and towns to enjoy the blessings, with their strength and status, it was more than enough to be a rich man, and by the way, they could strengthen the control of the Heavenly Saint Sect over mortal villages and towns, and they could also take care of some ordinary beasts and reduce the pressure on mortals to survive.
And the positions they gave up also allowed batches of talented young people to quickly ascend to the position, which made the Heavenly Saint Sect even more energetic.
Two years later, in the third year of Bai Xixi's retreat, the Heavenly Saint Sect appeared again, and the heavenly sound was sung, and many disciples in retreat were affected by this, and their hearts were clear, and they successfully broke through.
The disciples who did not have retreat were also very happy, they knew that the Heavenly Saint Sect had another Dao Gang cultivator, and the Danyang Sect, which had also completely equaled the Heavenly Saint Sect in terms of high-end combat power, had become the first sect worthy of the name in Tianyun Prefecture.
Three months later, Bai Xixi, who had digested the fragments of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, went out of the customs and stabilized the realm, Lin Xiao also feasted guests for her, and people from all the sects in Tianyun Prefecture came to congratulate her, and the other states and counties or sects that had dealings with the Heavenly Saint Sect also sent people to congratulate them, and held a banquet in Gongming City for three days.
After Bai Xi became the ancestor of Bai, the Bai family was ready to move again and wanted to take revenge, because they knew that Wu Gang's injury had not been good, and with the current strength of the Bai family, they could already take revenge, but they were stopped by Lin Xiao, and now they went to the north of Chen Guo to make trouble, it was simply to find something to do for the Heavenly Saint Sect, which would greatly damage the interests of the sect, Lin Xiao asked them to endure it for a few more years, and the people of the Bai family also agreed.
Lin Xiao asked Bai Xixi to sit in Gongming City, and with Daogang monks in charge, the Purple Mansion monks who were sitting there could send a few people out, and the Heavenly Saint Sect had the spare strength to build a stronger battle hall team, and they could devote themselves to the situation in the south of Chen Guo at any time to fight against the forces of the Assassin God.
