Chapter 222: Refining the Saint Formation, Sect Enters Mortal Realm!
That night.
Zuoqiu Daoren from Qingyun Palace came with a heavy gift to seek an audience.
Liu Zimo directly met him in the spiritual energy secret realm outside the city.
At this point, the spiritual energy secret realm outside Luozhou City was no longer a secret.
Especially for these ancient cultivators, unless Liu Zimo personally concealed it, it would be easy for them to discover it.
Therefore, Liu Zimo no longer bothered to conceal it.
Moreover, with his current cultivation level, there was no need for him to be as cautious as before, fearing that the spiritual energy secret realm would be coveted by others.
"Zuoqiu, I have seen Fellow Daoist Liu!"
After entering the spiritual energy secret realm, Zuoqiu Daoren ignored the spiritual springs and the three ancient spirit beasts in the secret realm. He respectfully bowed to Liu Zimo.
Although this was not the first time he had seen Liu Zimo, Zuoqiu Daoren was more excited and excited than ever before.
The person in front of him was the one who personally killed the Fairy Turtle Demon Saint. His true strength was probably already beyond the Saint Realm!
Whether in ancient times or in modern times, all warriors and cultivators believe in a simple truth.
That is, the strong are respected!
Regardless of background, origin, or even age, as long as the other party's strength is strong enough, they will naturally be respected by everyone around them.
This principle also applies to these ancient cultivators.
Just like now, standing in front of Liu Zimo, Zuoqiu Daoren, who was a respected figure and had reached the peak of the quasi-Saint realm, still unconsciously bent his body and dared not stand straight to talk to Liu Zimo.
"Zuoqiu Fellow Daoist, please!"
Liu Zimo returned the gesture and then asked directly, "I wonder why Zuoqiu Fellow Daoist is here?"
Liu Zimo had a good impression of Zuoqiu Daoren, who was the first to respond and unconditionally support him in both the "chat group" and the battle against the Fairy Turtle Island.
In fact, Zuoqiu Daoren played a crucial role in the successful acceptance of the forty-two ancient sects' surrender and submission.
Zuoqiu Daoren smiled and said in a slightly flattering tone, "Didn't I represent Qingyun Palace before and decide to join the federal government and enter the mortal cities? I came here to seek your guidance, Fellow Daoist Liu. Do you have any special instructions?"
Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow and secretly sighed that this Zuoqiu Daoist not only understood practical matters but also knew how to speak.
"Zuoqiu Daoist, just speak your mind. There's no need to beat around the bush in front of me!"
Zuoqiu Daoren didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard this. Instead, there was a hint of joy in his eyes as he said softly, "Fellow Daoist Liu has a discerning eye, so I won't beat around the bush anymore. I want to bring Qingyun Palace to settle in Longhai City. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Liu?"
When these words were spoken, Zuoqiu Daoren's face couldn't help but show a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
That's right.
This was his true purpose for coming to visit Liu Zimo.
"Longhai City?"
With a single thought, Liu Zimo instantly understood the true reason why Daoist Zuoqiu chose Longhai City.
Longhai City is the largest human city in the entire Da Xia country, second only to the capital city, with the highest number of surviving population.
The reason why Daoist Zuoqiu is interested in Longhai City is most likely because of its population and national fortune.
National fortune is synonymous with clan fortune.
The strength of clan fortune is naturally closely related to the size of the population.
With a population of over ten million in Longhai City, it is a rare force for the entire Da Xia and the Federation, and naturally an important part of the Federation's national fortune.
Now all the ancient sects are scheming to recruit disciples and accumulate sect fortune in order to guide their respective ancestors back.
At this time, Daoist Zuoqiu's proposal to settle in Longhai City is obviously based on this idea.
However, it can be considered a unique approach to use national fortune to enhance sect fortune.
But whether it can succeed or not is still uncertain.
"No problem!"
Liu Zimo nodded happily.
"Tomorrow, you will go to the military office in the capital city to report, and I will make arrangements for you in advance!"
"However, after arriving in Longhai City, I hope that the disciples of Qingyun Palace can closely cooperate with the local military office to jointly protect Longhai City!"
"If I hear that the disciples of Qingyun Palace are causing trouble and disrespecting the law and discipline in Longhai City..."
Before Liu Zimo finished speaking, Daoist Zuoqiu directly interrupted and assured him:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, rest assured, this kind of situation will definitely not happen!"
"After arriving in Longhai, if any brat dares to disobey, even if Fellow Daoist Liu doesn't say anything, I will be the first to break his leg and cripple his cultivation!"
Indeed, he is an upright person.
Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction and had a favorable impression of Daoist Zuoqiu.
He just hoped that he could really live up to his words, otherwise if there were any problems, Liu Zimo wouldn't mind dealing with him first.
"That's great, from now on, Longhai City will be temporarily protected by Qingyun Palace!"
Liu Zimo spoke softly, making a final decision.
Daoist Zuoqiu expressed his gratitude and after placing the gifts he brought, he directly bid farewell.
"Son, these ancient sects are not on the same side as us. Handing over such an important city like Longhai to them, could it be inviting trouble?"
Liu Yi, the father, had a worried expression on his face as he softly reminded his eldest son.
The actions of these ancient sects before were seen by all the human race in the Federation.
They were a group of people who took advantage of the weak and were afraid of the strong, and liked to take advantage of the situation. They were not trustworthy.
Now seeing his son getting close to these ancient sects, and even letting them settle in a large city like Longhai, Liu Yi couldn't help but have doubts, fearing that his son would do something well-intentioned but wrong, and invite a group of wolves into the house.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but smile faintly and said in a calm voice:
"Don't worry, Dad. Since I dare to invite them in, I naturally have absolute confidence in making them obedient."
"After the fourth calamity, there are high-level demon beasts at the Golden Body and Grandmaster realms all over the mountains outside the city. If there are no strong experts above the Grandmaster realm guarding the major cities, it is easy to have the tragedy of the city being destroyed and people dying!"
"Although these ancient cultivators are a bit selfish, their cultivation strength is extremely powerful, and their protective formations can cover the entire city."
"With their protection, the safety index of the major cities in Da Xia will undoubtedly increase exponentially. Even if they encounter a beast tide attacking the city, they can easily resist it!"
Seeing his son's confidence, Liu Yi couldn't help but nod slightly and remained silent.
If the eldest son can truly win the complete loyalty of those ancient sects and bring them into the federation, it would indeed be a great help.
He has already personally experienced the power of those ancient sects' mountain gates.
During the previous fourth demonic calamity, it was Xiao Feihong and Xiaoxiao who controlled the protective formation of the Huoyun Palace, enveloping the entire Luozhou City.
Once the formation was activated, whether it was in the sky or in the wilderness, everything was blocked by the formation.
As a result, during the entire demonic calamity, not a single soldier or civilian in Luozhou City was harmed!
If other cities could also have such a protective formation, it would indeed be a great security guarantee for the residents of those cities.
Seeing that his father was no longer speaking, Liu Zimo casually picked up the gift that Zuoqiu Daoist had just put down.
It was a simple ring imbued with spatial laws.
The space inside was not large, only about thirty square meters.
However, it contained various formation materials, especially a material called "Boundary Stone," which weighed over ten thousand jin.
Liu Zimo's eyes lit up when he saw it.
It's true that when you're sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow.
Previously, Liu Zimo had been thinking about personally refining a super saint-level protective formation in the spiritual energy secret realm, one that could withstand even the strongest Saint Realm experts, in order to protect his family's safety.
But he had been unable to do so because he couldn't find the corresponding formation materials, so he could only temporarily make do with the Huoyun Palace's mountain gate.
And now...
Even the indispensable "Boundary Stone" for refining the protective formation had been delivered right in front of him, which was definitely a great help.
This Zuoqiu Daoist really understood people's hearts and was the most clever.
Seeing Liu Zimo easily entering and leaving the residences of various major sects, he guessed that Liu Zimo must have a deep understanding of formations.
That's why he catered to his preferences and sent all the formation materials that Qingyun Palace had accumulated for maintaining the mountain gate formation to Liu Zimo.
"In return for his thoughtfulness, I'll let Yao Lingling absorb some of his spiritual essence in the future!"
Liu Zimo muttered softly, transmitting his voice to Yao Lingling in his sea of consciousness.
That's right.
Just now, Liu Zimo had quietly invaded Zuoqiu Daoist's sea of consciousness, using his spiritual clone to control Zuoqiu Daoist's spiritual sea.
This was the real reason why he chose to trust Zuoqiu Daoist.
A puppet completely under his control naturally didn't require him to be on guard against it.
In fact, not only Zuoqiu Daoist, but also the leaders of the other forty-one ancient sects were treated the same way.
Just as his father, Liu Yi, said, these ancient cultivators were not trustworthy.
If it weren't for Yao Lingling's control, Liu Zimo would never dare to let them easily settle in mortal cities.
The next day.
The forty-two ancient sects gathered in the capital city as planned, and the Military Affairs Department designated the cities they needed to guard.
Qingyun Palace successfully obtained the quota to guard Longhai City.
With the transfer order from the Military Affairs Department, Zuoqiu Daoist, along with all the disciples of Qingyun Palace, instantly moved to the sky above Longhai City.
After a brief handover with the Longhai Military Affairs Department, with a thought from Zuoqiu Daoist, the mountain gate of Qingyun Palace was summoned.
According to the layout of Longhai City, it continuously expanded and transformed.
In just a moment, the mountain gate of Qingyun Palace completely enveloped the entire Longhai City.
Boom!
The mountain gate takes root and blends completely with the Longhai city area.
In order to display their holiness in front of people and attract the attention of the residents in the city.
Zuoqiu Daoist specially suspended the stone tablet of the mountain gate of Qingyun Palace directly above the city, accompanied by colorful clouds and radiant light.
Anyone who looks up can easily see it!
"From today onwards, Qingyun Palace officially settles in Longhai City and guards the safety of the people of Longhai City together with the Longhai Military Department!"
"At the same time, Qingyun Palace will open its mountain gate, and all residents living in Longhai City can come to Qingyun Palace to participate in the entrance test!"
"Anyone who comes to participate in the entrance test, even if they do not pass, will receive a consolation reward of three military merits!"
"Those who pass the entrance test and become outer disciples can obtain one thousand military merits!"
"Those who become inner disciples can obtain ten thousand military merits!"
"Those who become true disciples can obtain one hundred thousand military merits!"
Zuoqiu Daoist began to promote extensively, and his voice spread throughout Longhai City.
Moreover, in order to attract more people to participate in the entrance test.
He changed the previous routine of rewarding martial arts or spiritual treasures, and directly settled the final rewards with military merits.
After obtaining military merits, these disciples can exchange for what they need on their own.
Sure enough.
When they heard that they could receive three military merits just by participating in the entrance test, regardless of whether they passed or not, all the ordinary people in the city were excited.
Especially the elderly and children who had lost their ability to work, they had a feeling of getting discounted eggs at the supermarket.
As soon as they heard that they could get three military merits for free, they all pricked up their ears and silently remembered the registration method and test location for the entrance test of Qingyun Palace.
And then, before Qingyun Palace officially opened its mountain gate and started the test.
The registration office located in the heart of the city was already crowded with tens of thousands of people who came to register for the test.
Although most of them were elderly people and children, and even some disabled people, there were few real warriors and soldiers participating.
But Zuoqiu Daoist and the disciples of Qingyun Palace were not discouraged, but rather delighted.
Because when these elderly people and children kept gathering at their mountain gate, their sect's luck also greatly increased!
This proves that Zuoqiu Daoist's previous speculation was correct!
As long as they can attract the attention and recognition of the human race, and gather a large amount of popularity and national luck.
Their sect's luck will also rise with it, all the way up!
The publicity effect and the speed of luck increase are much faster than when they only recruited outstanding disciples before.
And what they lost was just a part of the military merits exchanged from the military department.
They are all ancient cultivators, and their cultivation base is at least in the Divine Communication Realm.
It is so easy for them to earn military merits from the military department!
Just go out and kill hundreds of Domain Beasts at the Master Realm, and you can easily get over a hundred thousand military merits.
Moreover.
Among the elderly and children who came to participate in the test, not all of them are useless.
As long as they can find a true genius among them, it will be a huge gain!
