Chapter 392 Development Plan, Praise for the Demon Ancestor

Zheng Fa's demand for the sea area caused the hall to fall silent again.

Although the expressions of Sect Leader Yan and the other three did not change, they were probably communicating with each other in secret and exchanging opinions.

Zheng Falai had thought of bringing the sea area into the sphere of influence of the Hundred Immortals Alliance before the meeting:
The most important reason is to show confidence. If no demands are made and the opinions of the five sects are left to their own devices, this attitude will appear too weak.

However, this proposal cannot actually anger the five sects, so as to avoid a disaster - the sea area in the Xuanwei Realm, which looks large but is not very valuable, is an excellent choice.

Although the Great Free Demon King was about to be touched, the idea was still to cross the river by feeling the other party:

The sea area was originally the territory of the demon clan. After being occupied by the Great Freedom Demon King, the five sects weighed the pros and cons and actually acquiesced to this matter.

This shows that this place is not valued by the Five Sects.
The Lord of this sea area is worthy of great freedom, but I am not?

From the perspective of the interests of the five sects, the human race is the group they care about the most.

Unfortunately, the human race in the sea was severely harmed by the Netherworld Immortal, and the number of humans on many islands experienced a drastic drop.

Therefore, the value of this sea area to the five clans is actually very low.

The possibility of the five sects falling out over this is extremely low.

This was Zheng Falai’s idea before he came - to put it simply, it is the self-cultivation of an acting talent. My character needs to be tougher.

But it’s different now... He really has his eyes on the sea!

According to the information revealed by Fairy Baihua and others, Zheng Fa needs two things most now:
Before he could achieve Dao Fruit, he needed resources for advancement.

After achieving the Dao Fruit, he will need a large population.

The more of both, the better.

Although the spiritual materials and minerals in the sea are relatively difficult to collect, there are definitely a lot of them.

On the other hand, aquaculture is also a very valuable development direction. It can feed a large population and pave the way for his cultivation after he achieves Dao Fruit.

Simply put, the sea area that the five sects look down upon is actually a treasure land in Zheng Fa's eyes.

But the value of the sea is far more than that.

As the saying goes, without agriculture there is no stability, without commerce there is no prosperity. What Zheng Fa values ​​most is the possible maritime trade!

Anyone who knows a little bit about modern world history knows the huge profits from maritime trade.
The Xuanwei Realm is vast, and the East Continent and the West Continent are very far apart.

It would take more than half a year for a Nascent Soul cultivator to make one journey.

This does not even include the various monsters and dangerous obstacles in Shanghai.

The speed above the level of Spiritual Transformation is naturally faster, but communication between the two continents is extremely inconvenient.

Trade is limited to some high-end commodities, and the prices are extremely high - this is obvious. If you have to rely on cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage to carry the goods, the labor cost can be imagined.

In addition, the two continents have some special products due to their cultivation methods and geographical reasons. Things in West Continent are cheap and common, but in East Continent, they are rare and precious, and naturally very expensive.

This profit really made Zheng Fa jealous.

If you want to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, this is the fastest way!

But the Jiushan Sect happened to have a means of transportation that had a fairly fast flying speed and extremely low cost - the Yunxiao Flying Boat!
Zheng Fa looked at the ground, his eyes lingering on the map. He was mainly looking at the islands, and even drew a rough route map in his mind:
According to his idea, he only needed to install the Shenxiao simplified external elixir on some islands to form a stable and cheap trade line!

The Jiushan Sect, which controls the sea area and monopolizes this trade route, can obtain endless profits and resources from it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fa's heart beat a little faster -

The possible situation in the future has put him under tremendous pressure. He now only has "status" but lacks the strength to match it.

However, this idea would allow him and Jiushan Sect to gather a large amount of wealth and resources in a short period of time, thereby enhancing their own strength.

Even without talking about ourselves, scientific research is extremely expensive. The more in-depth the research of Jiushan Sect is, the more resources it needs.

Before, it was just an idea to enrich his character, but at this moment, it became a matter of life and death concerning the future development of Jiushan Sect.

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him and seemed to sense his slight nervousness. Although she didn't quite understand, she looked at Master Yan and others expectantly.

"This matter... is indeed..."

The Fairy of Flowers spoke first.

She seemed to be a smooth talker, and at this moment she seemed to be trying to make up for her previous test, so she was very open-mouthed.

"No!"

The old monk Zhixu from Leiyin Temple suddenly spoke.

He raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa, his tone was quite righteous:

"The sea is vast and complex, and it is very easy for ancient immortals to take advantage of it. Although Master Zheng is very powerful, the Hundred Immortals Alliance is not up to the task. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

His words startled the Fairy of Flowers and she frowned.

Zheng Fa's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly mocked in his heart. Although Zhixu's reasons made some sense, everyone also understood that he was actually targeting himself and the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

Unlike himself and the Fairy of Flowers, there have actually been several conflicts between Leiyin Temple and Zheng Fa.

The situation was even more tense before.

Zheng Fa also felt a little embarrassed about Leiyin Temple.

Although there are not many grudges between them, they still dislike each other.

What's more, when the old monk Zhixu spoke, his gaze was still faintly on the Qingjing Bamboo.

It seems that he has not given up the idea of ​​seizing this spiritual root of heaven and earth.

The accumulation of various factors made him oppose the Hundred Immortals Alliance to control the sea area. The fact that the five sects did not care about the interests of the sea area did not mean that they were stupid and did not know that the sea area was profitable. Apart from other things, the spiritual materials in the sea were not fake.

As soon as the old monk Zhixu said this, Luo Shangxian of Haori Mountain nodded and said, "It's not that we are stingy, but the Hundred Immortals Alliance is weak, and the demon tribe is now dying. I'm afraid it's beyond our ability to maintain peace in the sea."

Zheng Fa couldn't help but glance at Luo Shangxian.

Zheng Fa could feel the hostility of Leiyin Temple towards him.

But Haori Mountain...

Is it because of the hibiscus tree? Or is it because of the land?
Or... because of Leiyin Temple?

Zheng Fa always felt that Luo Shangxian's response was a little too quick.

He even felt a tacit understanding between the two...

Fairy Baihua looked even more hesitant, and Zheng Fa understood her hesitation. Although she wanted to make friends with him, two of the five sects were now opposed to Zheng Fa's control of the sea area. It might not be worth it to fight against Haori Mountain and Leiyin Temple for the sake of a Hundred Immortals Alliance.

At this moment, Taoist Li from the Supreme Dao spoke lazily:

"Since he has chosen the path of the Demon King and occupied the sea area, it should be his responsibility."

Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at the middle-aged Taoist priest, but he didn't look at him. He just continued:
"As for his lack of strength, even Da Zizai is dead, which shows that his strength is even worse. Didn't you just let him occupy the sea area?"

His reason was not sufficient, and even seemed quite casual, but Fairy Baihua said as soon as she heard it: "This is very reasonable. I, Yao Chi, agree that Master Zheng should be in charge of the sea area."

Zhixu of Leiyin Temple looked a little unhappy, but there was no surprise on his face. He just looked at Master Yan of Tianhe Sect.

Now, Zheng Fa secretly figured out what was going on:
Among the five Xuanwei sects, Leiyin Temple and Haori Mountain seem to be closer, and Taishang Dao and Yaochi also have some tacit understanding.

The Tianhe School seems to be more neutral.

If we think about the territories of several sects, the reason for the situation is very clear, that is, to make friends with those far away and attack those near:

Leiyin Temple is powerful. In order to relieve the pressure, Yaochi will naturally lean towards Taishang Dao, the largest sect in Dongzhou.

As for Haori Mountain, they were afraid that Leiyin Temple might be secretly supporting them.

Now, Taoist Li from the Supreme Taoism is on his side, of course, it may be because Zheng Fa saved Master Mingde and Master Chengkong.

But objectively speaking, the Hundred Immortals Alliance borders the Haori Mountain on land and faces the Leiyin Temple across the sea, which is indeed a thorn in the side that disgusts these two factions.

It fits the concept of "far" between making friends at a distance and attacking nearby.

If the speeches of both sides were regarded as votes, the score at this moment was two to two.

The opinion of Tianhe Sect's Master Yan is naturally extremely important.

In the hall, everyone's eyes were on him.

Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand Zheng Fa's desire for the sea, and there was expectation in her eyes.

Xie Qingxue, who was standing among the disciples of Tianhe Sect, couldn't help but move her lips slightly, as if she was about to speak.

Sect Leader Yan didn't turn around, but just raised his finger slightly, and Xie Qingxue didn't dare to speak.

He looked at Zheng Fa and smiled, with some kindness.

Sect Leader Yan looked at Zheng Fa for a long while without saying anything. He just took out a jade array plate from his sleeve. The array plate was engraved with dense golden runes, which were intricate and gorgeous. It looked extraordinary at first glance. However, there was a hollow shallow pit in the center of the array plate, which made it look incomplete.

Zheng Fa's heart skipped a beat; the shape of the shallow pit perfectly matched the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant in his mind!
"This is..." "My fellow Taoists, my sect has a cave world called the Ten Thousand Swords Realm. The treasure of the cave world was lost. You should have heard of it?"

Everyone in the hall nodded.

Xie Qingxue once told Zheng Fa that Sect Leader Yan had taken something from the Wanjian Realm, and this might be it.

But...the treasure of the cave?
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the shallow pit.

Fairy Baihua's eyes moved, and she seemed to have the same idea as Zheng Fa, and asked curiously: "Is this the treasure of the cave heaven in the Ten Thousand Swords Realm? I thought it was a fairy sword. It was said to be lost, but it's still there?"

Sect Leader Yan smiled and asked in return: "The treasure of the cave and the cave are originally one. If one is damaged, both will be damaged. How can they be separated?"

"There is a problem with the Ten Thousand Swords Realm. It is because this formation is incomplete..."

"Therefore, although the Ten Thousand Swords Realm Cave Heaven is still there, it is not habitable. It will cause endless harm to our sect."

incomplete……

Looking at the familiar pattern, it is obvious that the broken part is the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant!
Today, he finally understood the origin of the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant!
What he didn't expect was that Sect Leader Yan actually took out this thing at this moment.

Sect Leader Yan looked at Zheng Fa and spoke:

"This array has its own resonance with the incomplete part."

"Master Zheng, if you want to control the sea, you only need to try this formation..."

"If everything is fine, our Tianhe Sect will fully support this matter."

Zheng Fa's face was calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

At this moment, he couldn't say no.

Obviously, Sect Leader Yan saw his desire for the sea. If Zheng Fa did not agree, he would appear extremely guilty!
Although he was prepared in his heart, there was no hint of coercion in Sect Leader Yan's tone. Instead, he raised the matter as if it was a natural move.

There was even a friendly smile on his face.

It was the owner of this smile who forced Zheng Fa into the most dangerous situation since the alliance.

If Zheng Fa's strength is exposed, it will certainly be a disaster.

But the affairs of Venerable Tianhe are even more taboo. If you are involved in it, you will probably die.

This Sect Leader Yan is a bit sinister!
Zheng Fa frowned and said nothing.

"Master Zheng is unwilling?"

"...Master Yan, is it really that simple?"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Fa asked back.

"..."

He looked suspicious, as if he was completely unaware of the danger, and asked, "How did you pass the test of this array?"

"This array will only be sensitive to the incomplete object. If you, Sect Leader Zheng, are carrying this object, you will have some strange phenomena. If not, and everything is normal, it means that you, Sect Leader Zheng, have nothing to do with the incomplete object."

Zheng Fa nodded slowly, looked at Sect Leader Yan, and asked again: "Sect Leader Yan, how do I know that there is no hidden hand of yours in this formation?"

Sect Leader Yan's expression turned angry, as if he was looked down upon, and he immediately asked, "Sir Sect Leader Zheng, do you not trust me?"

Zheng Fa paused for a moment before muttering quietly:
"I know what happened to the most famous person who believed in you."

Although his voice was soft, most of the people in the hall were highly skilled in cultivation, so who could not hear his muttering?

Taoist Li of the Supreme Dao let out a sigh.

Even Zhixu from Leiyin Temple had a smile on his face.

Isn't this just pointing at Zhixu and calling him a bald donkey?

Sect Leader Yan's face changed, but he was speechless. Instead, Taoist Li came over with a smile, picked up the array plate, examined it for a while, and then handed it to Zheng Fa, saying, "How about I be your guarantor? If there is any problem, I will sort it out."

Zheng Fa knew that even though he had rebuked Yan Wushuang's father, there was no way to avoid this matter, so he simply reached out and supported the bottom of the formation plate.

The various symbol images on the array disk seemed to come alive, flowing like water, from the array disk to Zheng Fa's body, crawling all over Zheng Fa's hands, arms, torso, head and face.

Within a few breaths, the talisman seemed to melt, seeping into Zheng Fa's skin and into his body!
Xie Qingxue and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other, one holding the Qingping Sword and the other holding the Qingjing Bamboo.

The atmosphere in the hall was also extremely solemn.

Even Taoist Li, who had always been smiling, became serious. He stared at the formation plate and looked at Zheng Fa from time to time.

Zheng Fa's consciousness is now within his body.

Hundreds of talismans entered his body through his skin, passing through every inch of his muscles and meridians, as if looking for something.

They passed through every acupoint and found nothing, but seemed to have some sense and gathered outside Zheng Fa's Niwan Palace.

In Zheng Fa's Niwan Palace, the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant was floating in the sea of ​​consciousness, and underneath it was a Nine Netherworld talisman.

Those talismans seemed to be attracted by the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant and rushed into Zheng Fa's sea of ​​consciousness.

It seems that they are about to "find" the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant!
At this moment, the Nine Nether Talisman suddenly emitted a dark mysterious light.

Suddenly, there was a strange wave in Zheng Fa's sea of ​​consciousness. The wave rose and fell, and gradually covered the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant.

These talismans suddenly lost their target and seemed to be at a loss. They stopped outside Zheng Fa's consciousness. After a while, they gradually withdrew from Zheng Fa's body.

Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

At this moment, an unfamiliar talisman was seen, which not only did not retreat, but actually went against the flow and rushed towards Zheng Fa's sea of ​​consciousness.

It seems like... it really has its own consciousness!
Zheng Fa opened his eyes and looked at the friendly smiling face of Sect Leader Yan—he was indeed an old scoundrel!
Sect Leader Yan turned around and glanced at the Qingping Sword on Xie Qingxue's waist. It seemed that he not only doubted the relationship between Zheng Fa and Venerable Tianhe, but was also very curious... how Zheng Fa made his disciple willingly offer the Qingping Sword.

At this moment, Zheng Fa was sure that among these five sects, the one that was most wary of him was the Tianhe Sect, where he had the most friends!
……

The Nine Nether Talisman in the sea of ​​consciousness lit up again at this moment, and rushed towards the talisman that was obviously related to Sect Leader Yan.

In a remote mortal town, three people without a trace of spiritual energy were walking slowly on the busy streets.

Chen Ting and Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu suddenly saw the Nine Netherworld Demon Ancestor looking up into the distance, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Holy Ancestor?"

"Nothing." Jiuyou Saint Ancestor shook his head.

"An old friend from Tianhe Sect... Tsk, I haven't even gone to find them yet, are they impatient?"

Chen Ting was stunned, and then he thought of the Nine Nether Talisman on Zheng Fa's body.

The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor obviously would not explain to them and only said:
"Then I'll charge some interest."

……

In Zheng Fa's Niwan Palace, the Jiuyou Talisman shook slightly, wrapped the strange talisman, and rushed out of his Niwan Palace.

Zheng Fa watched as Sect Leader Yan’s face twisted and the magic sword at his waist wailed.

The next moment, Sect Leader Yan blinked, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down his cheeks. There was no white in his eyes anymore, only two dark spots.

At this moment, even Taoist Li was stunned and looked at Zheng Fa.

Everyone was even more shocked.

If the Daoguo monk had not been seriously injured, how could he be in such a tragic state?

With the ability of a Dao Fruit cultivator, who could inflict severe damage on him silently?
At this moment, the spiritual aura of Sect Leader Yan suddenly burst out from the formation.

Therefore, Fairy Baihua and the others understood that Sect Leader Yan had somehow hidden his soul in the formation plate, wanting to investigate Zheng Fa's background and not be taken advantage of.

Taoist Li was furious. He came here to act as a guarantor, but now he was deceived by this man named Yan. He obviously lost face.

"Is there any unusual phenomenon in this array?"

He asked Sect Leader Yan coldly.

Sect Leader Yan had a strange expression on his face, his face was distorted, and it was unclear whether he was in pain or anger. He no longer had the kindness he had just had, and he just shook his head.

"Then according to the previous agreement, the Hundred Immortals Alliance will take charge of the sea area. Will the Tianhe Sect support it?"

Sect Leader Yan remained silent and just nodded.

Taoist Li nodded to Zheng Fa apologetically, but Zheng Fa did not look at him. He just looked at the old monk Zhixu and Luo Shangxian of Haori Mountain and asked, "Haori Mountain and Leiyin Temple, do you still think that I am not strong enough?"

The two were stunned and looked up, only to see Zheng Fa staring at them coldly, with a threatening look on his face.

Both of them were immortals, and they didn't know how long it had been since they had been looked at like this. Anger appeared on their faces at the same time.

But the next moment, they both looked at Tianhe Sect's Sect Master Yan at the same time, and those two lines of blood and tears seemed to flow into their hearts.

The old monk Zhixu was silent for a long time before he put his hands together and whispered with difficulty: "Master Zheng is very powerful. The sea area should belong to the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

Zheng Fa secretly praised in his heart - Demon Ancestor, whoever uses him will say it is good!
