Chapter 1067: Allocating Six Trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones to the Immortal Sect Babies to Nourish Their Bodies

The formations Jiang Ding arranged, especially the entire Da Ri Ding Gao Jie array, are all under surveillance, suppressing the Gui Shan Tie family.

There, Jiang Ding had once visited over three hundred years ago.

At that time, he vaguely saw a massive, mountain-like, rotting, and deformed corpse deep within the Gui Shan Tie family, felt unease in his heart, and thus abandoned the plan to attack.

Jiang Ding instead set up a sealing isolation array, cutting off the fuel from the bottom, striking at the fundamental spiritual energy of immortal beings, isolating the spiritual energy, and drawing out the spiritual energy that originally existed there, aiming to sever the foundation of the Gui Shan Tie family right from the start.

To this day, more than three hundred years have passed.

No matter what kind of immortal being or strange entity is inside, after losing spiritual energy, it must be significantly weakened.

As seen now, the Gui Shan Tie family, that square metal cubic mountain peak section, has already shown extensive rust marks, with pitch-black blood flowing out, mixed with terrible curses; life within ten thousand li has perished, turning into tiny, insignificant strands of spiritual energy and blood qi being absorbed by the Gui Shan.

Yes, insignificant.

The Gui Shan Tie family, spanning ten thousand li, consists entirely of mortal beasts and plants under the no-spiritual-energy environment; the spiritual energy obtained through these means may not even exceed the spiritual energy consumed.

The beings within the Gui Shan Tie family, as time passes, continuously weaken under the no-spiritual-energy environment.

"You, how long can you hold out before you actively break the seal and emerge?"

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

He was not in a hurry and had no intention of launching an active attack.

The spiritual veins and earth veins of the entire world are all under his control; furthermore, he established the Da Ri Ding Gao Jie array to organize the world's immortal ecological cycle, possessing a huge home-field advantage, growing stronger every moment, so why be in a hurry?

"Here at Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting,"

"Three hundred years, and yet more filth has accumulated."

Jiang Ding looked at the various administrative matters and shook his head slightly.

Among these, there was embezzlement, favoritism, and corruption, involving Master Tushan maids, involving old Nascent Soul elders, involving rising-star Nascent Soul elders, involving the Da Ri Chang Chun Jian Capital, the Hun Yuan Fa Tian Capital, the Nong Sect, the Qi Sect...

Every section had lawbreakers, various tests and provocations against the rules.

There were distinctions among them: the old Nascent Soul elders were more cautious, committing crimes that were either minor or touched the law only slightly, then extracting maximum profit, or playing a big gamble at the moment of death, regardless of the floods and fires of future generations.

In comparison, the later-generation Nascent Soul elders were even more bold and reckless, often colluding from top to bottom, blatantly trampling upon the Master Tushan Laws.

The mindset that the strong are revered and the law is disregarded began to revive rapidly again within just three hundred years, spreading throughout Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting.

In the hearts of many later-generation Nascent Soul elders, there was not enough reverence for the Master Tushan Laws.

They had not experienced many things; even if there were records, they were merely records in books, difficult to truly

feel, so they always harbored a sense of luck.

Once anxious, twice uneasy, three times it became habitual, and even grew larger and larger.

The Supervision Hall of Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting found it increasingly difficult to function effectively.

The cultivators of the Supervision Hall were also human; over three hundred years, many had died, new cultivators joined the Supervision Hall, coming and going, and could always be corrupted.

The only slight comfort was that Gong Gong Caiyu still held firm, cracking down on such violations of the Master Tushan Laws everywhere, greatly slowing the pace of Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting's decline.

However, she could not stop the slow corruption of a formed system.

Generations of cultivators died, generations of cultivators grew up; even the strictest laws were useless.

"Let's talk about it after some time."

Jiang Ding sighed slightly.

At this moment, when he was about to meet an old acquaintance, he did not want to rashly unleash slaughter and cleansing, ruining the emotions.

However, forgiveness was certainly not an option.

The Master Tushan Laws should be what they are; this does not shift according to his personal feelings.

If one has objections to the laws, one can raise them; as long as concrete reasons are given, after he inspects the site personally, if it is indeed improper, the law can be amended.

All of these can be negotiated; while conforming to the spirit of immortal sect legislation, certain compromises can be made regarding local cultivator customs and habits.

The Master Tushan Laws are not some eternal sage iron laws, unchanging forever, capable of adapting to all situations.

The Master Tushan Laws can be changed and should adapt to local conditions, changing with the external environment, and should not be stubbornly corrupt.

But once the Master Tushan Laws are formulated, they must be obeyed!

Even Master Tushan Canghai Tianjun himself must obey them!

In other words, even if it is an old acquaintance, a friend of many years, if they violate the Master Tushan Laws, they should be imprisoned if they deserve imprisonment, and executed if they deserve death; there is nothing more to say.

"I won't think about these things."

"It's a bit heavy; under the Master Tushan Laws, these are all their own choices; what is there to regret about the price of taking shortcuts?"

Jiang Ding smiled and looked at his treasury.

This treasury, built on the Yin-Yang Yuan Ci No-Spiritual-Energy Mountain of the Liu Dao Sect, was constructed magnificently, far surpassing the Black Demon Palace where he resided; the space within was expanded repeatedly, with importance placed even higher than the formations themselves.

Clearly, he had long foreseen the current situation, had once sensed that he might not come to the Northern Plains for a very long time, and had made preparations.

At this moment, after more than three hundred years of accumulation, all kinds of heavenly treasures and earthly gems were piled up like mountains, with treasure light overflowing; even fifth-tier heavenly treasures and earthly gems were piled into a small hill, while first, second, third, and fourth-tier ones numbered in the hundreds of millions, their quantity terrifying beyond measure.

"Let me calculate."

"Using a conservative valuation method, all these things combined are worth a total of... sixteen trillion low-grade spirit stones,

sixteen trillion high-grade spirit stones?"

Jiang Ding felt somewhat disappointed.

Is this a lot or not?

Definitely a lot; it exceeds the assets of dozens of Soul Transformation cultivators.

It has only been three hundred short years.

This is the wealth of a ruler of a world; doing nothing, wealth accumulates every day, far surpassing ordinary Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun.

However, compared to the wealth he collected from the Jiao Mo Emperor Clan's royal families in Jiao Jiao Mingyu, these gains seem to lack some meaning; three hundred years of accumulation is not even as much as wiping out one Jiao Mo Emperor Clan royal family in a single stroke.

Now, counting the wealth in the Northern Plains treasury, Jiang Ding possesses a total of seven hundred and sixty thousand high-grade spirit stones!

Converted into nice numbers, that is seven hundred and sixty trillion low-grade spirit stones!

These spirit stones represent wealth that even a Qi Condensation cultivator, working without rest for billions of years, could not accumulate; truly, it is astonishing.

The higher a cultivator ascends, the less human they become; the gap is so vast they seem not even to be the same species.

"Excellent, it is enough."

"The loan for the Super Warship Great Sun Sky Mother Ship can now be repaid; otherwise, the annual interest will become unmanageable."

Jiang Ding showed an excited expression: "Additionally, donate six trillion low-grade spirit stones to the Banyan Tree Scholarship Fund to nourish the bodies of the Immortal Gate children with good moral character. After all, they are citizens of the Domain Hegemon, not living in the hard times of past war preparations, so life should not be too harsh."

"However, they must also undergo tempering so they understand that spirit stones are not easily obtained."

"Do not think that because I have some money, it was not won through slaughter; I dare not relax for a moment. If I truly relax and become negligent, the enemy's blades will not become negligent with me."

"Immortal Gate citizens must not be like the Young Ladies and Young Masters of those bloodline families, full of the habits of rich young men, looking down on others, unwilling to endure hardship, and addicted to pleasure... this will not do."

"If a citizen falls into depravity, lacks talent and ability, and has no clan willing to bear the burden for them, then they should simply live a safe and happy life as a mortal; there is no need to force growth."

The life of contemporary Immortal Gate citizens is far better than it was in Jiang Ding's time.

Jiang Ding's current thoughts are also the shared thoughts of many high-level cultivators.

They fear that citizens will fall into depravity and corruption; after this generation of Immortal Gate citizens, who grew up through countless wars, passes away, the Immortal Gate will become as corrupt as those bloodline families and be conquered and destroyed by others.

This is not groundless worry; there are already some signs of this appearing in society.

If one can lie flat, why strive?

This is human nature.

However, this human nature does not conform to the cold law of the strong devouring the weak in the starry sky.

To fall behind is to be eliminated; it is to perish.

This is also the reason why the Great Sun Soul Transformation Strategy has received support from some

elites in the Immortal Gate education sector.

They hope to introduce competition and fresh blood from outside, so that Immortal Gate citizens naturally understand the situation of the Ten Thousand Races, are not confined by narrow horizons, and improve citizen quality at the genetic level to prevent citizens from willingly falling into depravity, dragging the entire Immortal Gate down with them.
