Lingxu said that after a period of time, more specifically, sixty years later.
He said that sixty years later, the nine major sects would gather at the Cloud Platform, unite for a grand occasion, and crusade against the Demon Sect.
Itâs a bit inexplicable, isnât it...
Alright, this is mainly because the Three Great Sects have been fighting up to today, and the Demon Palace has finally surrendered, so naturally, itâs time to deal with the Demon Sect.
Yes, indeed, they have truly surrendered. This time, the Three Constellations Court sent Gen, Kan, Qian, and Dui, the Divine List of the Four Countriesâ Immortal Records, recognizing the legitimacy of the Mystic Sect.
From now on, the Northern Four Countriesâ Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and Earth Vein Mineral Deposits all became assets of the Mystic Sect.
As long as the Cloud Platform Chief uses the seal and the nine major sects nod their agreement, the territories of the Four Countries can be divided among the sects of the Mystic Sect.
Those Mountain Gods and River Gods, Gate Valve noble families, and local landlords, enfeoffed by the Immortal Palace, must now come to the Mountain Men for tribute and worship.
Of course, in fact, these Northern Four Vassal States in the hands of the Immortal Palace were merely nominal.
Qian and Dui countries had long been divided by the Mystic Sect Divine Sect, and Kan and Gen had also fallen into the hands of demons and rebel armies, leaving little territory actually controlled by the Immortal Palace.
It was just that the people in the palaces of the Three Constellations were still stubbornly urging various heterodox paths and local landlords to secretly disgust the Mystic Sect.
Now it is justified and they have officially surrendered.
After all, the Immortal Palace truly no longer has the energy to continue tussling with the Mystic Sect.
The Three Constellations Court has reached a critical point of life and death.
Without the turning point at Suiyang, the Immortal Palace couldnât get its main army from the south back in time. The Heavenly King Stone Dragon was about to enter the Central Plains, change dynasties, and almost entered a countdown. Now these remnants of the old regime in the Immortal Palace must consolidate the remaining forces, pull troops from the Southern Four Vassals, and launch a desperate counterattack.
So, whether you call it diverting trouble eastward or driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, the Three Constellations Ministers finally came up with a âbrilliant plan,â which was to send a huge pile of Heavenly Materials Treasures and immediately send the Divine List of the Four Vassals into the Cloud Platform to gain the Mystic Sectâs support and protection.
By doing this, the Immortal Gate in the Central Plains could secretly log their assets into the Immortal Records and Divine List that couldnât be relocated in time, then transfer them to the Mystic Sectâs name, in exchange for the protection of the Mountain Men.
Although this would lead the Immortal Valve Families, who previously did not pay taxes to the court, to pay tribute and taxes to the Mountain Men, at least their assets could be preserved!
Yes, even as strong as the Heavenly King, as wild as the Stone Dragon, it was unlikely they would dare provoke the Mountain Men and seize the Mystic Sectâs assets while the Immortal Palace wasnât settled and the world hasnât been decided!
When the Immortal Palace recovers in the future and battles the rebel military in the Central Plains, or even counterattacks the two vassal states Gen and Kan, although they might not get the full support of the nine major sects, those who gained practical resource benefits from the sects would have to put in some effort.
Regarding this small calculation by the Gate Valve, the Mystic Sect people actually donât care.
After all, the Mountain Menâs attitude toward the Immortal Valve is such that your things are mine. Whatever they want, they just take it. Now itâs just that you send it over voluntarily.
However, thereâs one thing everyoneâs focusing on.
The Divine List of the Four Vassals also symbolizes the allocation share of Spirit Silk.
In other words, the Immortal Palace officially agreed to hand over a third of the Spirit Silk to the Mystic Sect every year.
Of course, this was based on the previously agreed ceasefire terms by Lingxu and the Immortal Palace: half of the Immortal Silk would be handed over, and theyâd jointly face the rebels.
In other words, the Immortal Palace would give five-sixths of their silk as tribute every year in exchange for the nine major sects agreeing to ensure the Immortal Palaceâs safety for sixty years.
Yes, only sixty years, after all, they were taking quite a lot. If the nine major sects monopolized it, the other nine could jump up and rebel.
So, within the Mystic Sect, they also agreed that after sixty years, a new nine major sects would be chosen and theyâd sign a new treaty based on the situation then.
As for how to choose, of course, itâs by fighting the God-beating Sect. What if the Immortal Palace doesnât pay tribute if the rebels are beaten?
Yes, the future has changed.
After all, this isnât just a butterfly flapping its wings anymore, but an iron-headed fly crashing everywhere, finally causing ripples that have led to a massive turning point in the worldâs major trends.
"So the Cloud Platform... wonât take off?"
Tie Dan asked cautiously. He hadnât forgotten the root causes of heaven collapsing, ground shattering, and meteorites falling sixty years later.
Lingxu naturally had thought about it, neither hasty nor slow,
"Of course, it will fly, but thereâs no rush. Recently, the Divine Sect has been too active, making trouble in Suiyang and nearly ruining my calculation.
Itâs just right to find an excuse to deal with the Divine Sect first, drive them out of the Dui countryâs heartland, and it wonât take more than two years.
Taking this opportunity to re-elect the nine major sects, having them be convinced in heart and word, can avoid any disturbance, power struggle, or unrest during the actual ascent."
Then he looked at Tie Dan and pointed at the "Blood Talisman Sword Scripture Annotation,"
"So Iâll give you some special training, this time you must accomplish great merits for the Sword Sect to firmly hold the seat at the Cloud Platform, otherwise, there will always be countless people secretly plotting against you."
"Save it, thank you for the guidance, Chief."
Tie Dan, anyway, didnât like the Divine Sect, so he nodded in agreement to fight the Divine Sect and then stood up to say goodbye.
Lingxu reminded him,
"Isnât there something youâve forgotten to tell me?"
Tie Dan paused, a little reluctant,
"What, you also want a share? Itâs true, Qingcheng Mountain hasnât had any successors, so take a box with you."
Lingxu rubbed his forehead,
"No... donât bother yourself, my Mountain has no shortage of immortal inheritances from the seniors. The Daoist inheritance doesnât worry me."
