Depending on the message, Hehuan Gate and Piaoxue Pavilion were annexed one after another, and the territory of Yuanyang Sect increased dramatically.

Compared with the original, it has almost tripled!

As one of the few sects that stood out in the chaos after the human-monster war.

The power of the Yuanyang Sect has increased significantly, and its reputation has spread throughout the Seven Nations Alliance and even the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.

Two major sects were destroyed one after another, and the other two major sects were completely overwhelmed. The news spread that the world of immortal cultivation was in an uproar.

In the eyes of all the monks, it is basically only a matter of time before the Yuanyang Sect unifies half of the original Yan Kingdom.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that they are both True Monarch Yuanying, True Monarch Zihong and Qingxu Taoist, and they are no match for Liu Yu.

The territory has tripled. The Waning Moon Valley and the Qingxu Sect are not threats. In the eyes of some monks, the Yuanyang Sect has a tendency to sweep the original Yan Kingdom.

After all, the other half of the Yan Kingdom has several major factions that check and balance each other.

If the Yuanyang Sect rests for a period of time and then conquers the Qingxu Sect and Cangyue Valley, it will have a great advantage when facing the major forces in the other half of the Yan Kingdom!

Despite the different opinions from the outside world, after the sudden increase in territory, the Yuanyang Sect encountered many problems.

The biggest problem is that the land is vast and the people are sparsely populated.

Although the territory is large enough and there are enough resource points, there are not enough disciples to garrison it.

Based on the current situation, the Yuanyang Sect had no choice but to compromise and passed a resolution by the Jindan elders to cooperate with the local immortal cultivating forces.

Share some benefits in exchange for the stability of rule.

In this case, the territory suddenly increased a lot, and the low-level disciples of Yuanyang Sect were not enough.

Originally there were about 20,000 people, but after experiencing losses in successive battles, there were only about 15,000 left at this time.

Even if they were all sent to guard resource points, it would still not be enough.

Because of this, Liu Yucai did not continue to attack after annexing Hehuanmen and Piaoxue Pavilion.

On the one hand, they are worried that taking too big a step will arouse the fear of other Nascent Soul forces and even the "Tian Lei Palace".

On the other hand, the monks of the sect are indeed stretched thin to guard such a large territory.

If the recruitment is not expanded, the foundation of governance will be unstable, and many strange problems will easily arise.

So under his instruction, just when many monks were speculating that the Yuanyang Sect wanted to unify half of the original Yan Kingdom, the Yuanyang Sect suddenly stopped expanding.

On the one hand, he recruited more disciples, and on the other hand, he consolidated the existing territory and stabilized the foundation of his rule.

Under Liu Yu's intimidation, realizing the huge gap in strength between the two, Zhenjun Zihong sent an envoy to visit and expressed his willingness to surrender.

The Qingxu Sect, on the other hand, directly surrendered and was willing to donate a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals every ten years just like the immortal cultivating forces under its rule.

Trying to please Yuanyang Sect in exchange for the continuation of the sect's inheritance.

But there is a rift after all, and the "Old Demon Qingyang" always has his revenge.

Therefore, after Qingxu Lao Dao escaped from that battle, his whereabouts have been very mysterious, and it is suspected that he is not in the Qingxu Sect at all.

Instead, he hid outside and commanded his monks from afar.

Even though the Yuanyang Sect accepted the offering and expressed its willingness to accept the surrender of the Qingxu Sect, this person did not show up for a long time.

Time passed by unconsciously like this.

After "Spread the Word" easily destroyed Piaoxue Pavilion, Liu Yu made appropriate arrangements to leave some elites behind, and then set off to return to the sect.

Then he invited True Lord Huangmei to transfer the fourth-level spiritual veins from Hehuan Sect and the fourth-level spiritual veins from Piaoxue Pavilion.

Integrating two large fourth-level spiritual veins, the level of Tongtian Peak's spiritual veins skyrocketed, barely crossing the boundary between fourth-level mid-grade and high-grade.

The cultivation environment for Liu Yu and the other sect disciples has certainly improved a lot.

When the spiritual pulse promotion of Tongtian Peak was completed, five years had passed since the war that affected the entire Yan Kingdom began.

And Liu Yu is also 388 years old.

The territory under its rule suddenly expanded, and the Yuanyang Sect had influence and resources.

But the primary problem they faced was that there were not enough disciples to garrison every resource point, so they had to rely on some local forces.

Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Yuanyang Sect opened its gates and announced to recruit new disciples in advance.

Under the arrangement of a group of Jindan elders, a deacon named Foundation Establishment went to all directions to find people with spiritual root qualifications.

Every time you find someone, there will be a certain reward.

As the victor, Yuanyang Sect was naturally willing to spend a lot of money to seize a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals from the war.

As long as the task can be exceeded and the rewards are generous, the foundation-building monks will definitely be tempted and can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the disciples.

In addition, with the reputation of "True Lord Qingyang", the Yuanyang Sect is at the height of its popularity in the nearby immortal world, and its influence is different from what it used to be.

No matter what, joining a powerful sect and having a strong backer has only advantages and no disadvantages for most monks.

Therefore, as soon as the news spread, no matter whether it was the old land of the Yuan Kingdom or the newly occupied territory, all the major cultivating families sent children with spiritual root qualifications one after another.

In the hope that there will be support within the Yuanyang Sect so that the family can continue to prosper.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the number of inner and outer disciples of Yuanyang Sect increased significantly.

In just one round of enrollment expansion, the number of students increased from about 15,000 to about 25,000.

This is without relaxing requirements and strict screening.

Otherwise, with today's vast territory and huge population base, even if there are only a very small number of people with spiritual roots, it would not be a problem to easily approach 30,000.

Youdao means leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. The Yuanyang Sect destroyed both sects in one battle, allowing many casual cultivators to see a bright future.

Many self-proclaimed casual cultivators traveled thousands of miles to join the Yuanyang Sect, hoping to join the Yuanyang Sect or become a guest minister.

However, the composition of casual cultivators is complex and it is almost impossible to be loyal to the sect, so there are only a few people who can join the sect.

Most of them were directly eliminated, taking advantage of the excitement and returning disillusioned.

A small number of them became guest ministers and the like. Although they were not formal disciples of the Yuanyang Sect, they still had some connections.

Only a very small number of casual cultivators with extremely outstanding spiritual qualifications, or seniors with certain skills, can successfully join the Yuanyang Sect.

For example, those with dual spiritual roots, those with higher spiritual energy affinity and relatively young age.

Another example is alchemy master, weapon refiner, formation master, etc.

It can be foreseen that new disciples are recruited every five to ten years. As long as this continues several times, the number of disciples in the Qi Refining Period will definitely increase significantly.

At this time, the sect is rich in resources for cultivating immortals. As long as there are more disciples in the Qi Refining Period, some of them with good luck, character, and qualifications will surely become Foundation Establishment Deacons or Golden Core Elders in the next few decades.

…

Yuan Dynasty.

Yuanyang Zongshan Gate.

At the foot of Tongtian Peak, there is Zhenyang Dojo.

After fusing multiple fourth-order spiritual veins, Tongtian Peak's spiritual veins have now reached the fourth-order high-grade, and the concentration of spiritual energy has increased significantly.

Even in the cave at the foot of the mountain, the aura is richer than most second-order spiritual veins, and some are even close to third-order spiritual veins.

Therefore, at this time, Tongtian Peak Cave Mansion is already very popular.

Most of the new foundation builders will choose this place when allocating caves, instead of choosing a small spiritual mountain to open a cave.

After all, we are "at the feet of the Emperor". What if one day we see the Holy Face and are promoted by our ancestors?

However, at this time, there were dense crowds of people standing in Zhenyang Dojo, all wearing standard sect costumes.

The inner door in white is at the front, the outer door in gray is at the back, and the foundation-building deacon is at the front of the queue.

As for Elder Jin Dan, he stood on the central high platform and presided over the ceremony.

Looking around, Nuo Da's dojo was silent.

All the monks looked solemn and respectful, and watched the ceremony quietly without turning their eyes.

As long as the sect's inheritance continues, there will be disciples during every year and festival, preparing all kinds of sacrifices and blood food to worship the ancestors whose souls have returned to Taixu.

Keep the incense burning and comfort the souls of our ancestors. Everything in the sect is still fine now.

In addition, when extremely important events occur, special sacrifices will be held.

For example, in the middle of the human-monster war, before Patriarch Tianfeng officially issued the order to relocate, the sect held a grand sacrificial event.

The ceremony was presided over by Li Changfeng, who had already passed away.

It is said that the descendants will not be able to make disciples and will lose the foundation laid by the ancestors through hard work. I hope to get the blessings of the ancestors and make the relocation go smoothly.

It was hard to leave my homeland, and according to records, the atmosphere at that time was extremely heavy.

The human-monster war is in full swing. The territory of the relocated mountain gate has been greatly reduced, and most of the resource points have been directly abandoned.

At that time, everyone was full of confusion, wondering whether the sect would decline.

I dare not forget about my country even though I am humble!

One or two hundred years apart, the atmosphere is still solemn.
