Chapter 1195: All Xianzong Citizens Instantly Strike It Rich

Great Sun Heavenly Lake, Sun Abyss.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha…"

Jiang Ding emerged from closed-door cultivation, threw his head back in great laughter, and strode out the door.

An irrepressible look of wild joy on his face, he transformed into a streak of escape light that pierced the atmosphere, changed into a formal admiral's uniform of the Starfleet, and flew toward the ground, hurrying into the Xianzong General Headquarters.

Arriving there, he found Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun, Teacher Gu Lin—who had already advanced to the Hua Shen Qi—and others present.

Everyone's face showed surprise and elation, but also a trace of coldness and solemnity—clearly a wartime state.

After Jiang Ding took his seat, he restrained his thoughts and waited patiently.

"Honored colleagues!"

After all the Canghai Tianjun still within the Xianzong had gathered, Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun stepped onto the platform and called out loudly: "Honored fellow Daoists!"

"The Xianzong Jiao Jiao Mingyu First Expeditionary Front Army reports that the Xianzong has thoroughly achieved victory in the Jiao Jiao Mingyu War, ending a conflict that lasted over a thousand years!"

Clap clap clap clap clap…

"Hahahaha…"

Jiang Ding, Teacher Gu Lin, and the others applauded, brimming with joy, utterly unable to contain themselves.

This victory was no mere hollow label—it represented an enormous expansion of the Xianzong's living space, a vast increase in the spirit veins and lands beneath the sun.

And… the possibility for every Dao-path present, for every person here, to advance to a higher realm, had risen dramatically!

"This battle!"

"The Xianzong and the Badaxian Sect have successfully defeated the Jiao Ming Emperor, occupying the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie Jiao Mo Gao Jie—now known as the Jiuling Realm!"

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun waited quite a while before finding an opening amid the thunderous applause, and could no longer restrain himself, roaring at the top of his lungs.

"Long live!"

Clap clap clap clap clap…

"Long live!"

"Long live the Xianzong!"

"Our Dao-path shall not end at what lies before our eyes, but in the endless sea of stars…"

The many Xianzong Canghai Tianjun applauded uncontrollably.

They laughed heartily, bold and unrestrained, thrilled beyond measure, each one brimming with high spirits, looking as though they would test their swords against the boundless star rivers of the cosmos.

A Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie!

What does this mean to a cultivator?

What kind of shallow, nouveau-rich race were the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan? Just like that—they possessed over fifty Void Refinement cultivators and one Dao Merging realm cultivator.

What was the reason?

It was all because of a Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie!

It was an existence entirely different from Minor Thousand Worlds and from man-made starry-sky Secret Realms above them. Cultivators here could advance more easily, cultivate faster, build more stable foundations, and even Void Refinement cultivators found it more convenient to comprehend the power of Rules, producing Rule powers that were even stronger.

And the bountiful output—within the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie, fifth-tier spirit veins, sixth-tier spirit veins, seventh-tier spirit veins, and mineral resources were beyond counting, all manner of spirit herbs dazzling the eye…

This was a Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie!

Once the Xianzong occupied a Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie, it would be no surprise if the chance for citizens to advance to Nascent Soul, to Soul Transformation, even to Void Refinement, doubled!

This was the foundation of a world.

Countless Jiuling Domain cultivators fought with utter disregard for their lives, always feeling the battlefield was brutal, that countless had died, yet never once questioning the necessity of the war—not the slightest wavering on this point.

"Honored fellow Daoists!"

"We have obtained a Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie!"

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun waved his arm forcefully and roared.

This elder, usually so gentle and refined, was somewhat beside himself at this moment—like a wild beast.

Truly, a Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie held extraordinary meaning for him.

His talent was unrivaled across the domain; he could command Void Refinement-grade military formations even at the Soul Transformation stage, brilliant beyond compare. But he was born in an era when the Xianzong was still weak, unable to forge a perfect foundation, and each realm advancement inevitably left regrets—resulting in only a sixty to seventy percent chance of advancing to Void Refinement.

But now!

A Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie environment, plus a Void Refinement opportunity!

What did this mean?

It meant Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun would certainly advance to Void Refinement!

Such a radiant future lay before his eyes, thirty thousand years of lifespan lay before his eyes—even an elder like this appeared frenzied, no longer maintaining any composure of unmoved countenance before the collapse of Taishan.

All around were old brothers, juniors, one's own people—no need to put on any front; cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh.

"According to frontline reports, in this battle, the Jiao Ming Emperor is already completely spent."

"He tried several times to incite internal strife among the Jiudaxian Sect, using the Dao Merging opportunity, numerous seventh-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, magic treasures, and ancient god Dao scriptures as bait. To be honest, including the Xianzong, many sects wavered more than once."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun took quite a while to calm his emotions, then continued: "However, destiny was not with the Jiao Ming Emperor. The Jiudaxian Sect's wavering ultimately remained only wavering and never became fact."

"In the end, the gravely wounded Jiao Ming Emperor used the Jiao Mo Imperial Clan's foundational treasure, the Ancient God Painting Boat, to flee with part of his clan, allowing us to achieve victory in the Jiao Jiao Mingyu War!"

"Now, at this very moment, the Xianzong and the Badaxian Sect have entered the Jiuling Realm. The Xianzong and Badaxian Sect armies are sweeping through the entire Jiao Jiao Mingyu, bringing the more than four hundred Minor Thousand Worlds of the entire Jiao Jiao Mingyu thoroughly under control."

"It is worth noting that among them, one hundred Minor Thousand Worlds belong to the Xianzong."

The surrounding Canghai Tianjun revealed looks of elation.

This was excellent news, meaning that everyone's wallets and incomes here would rapidly swell.

Each of them owned various

industries, companies, and groups within the Xianzong—necessary for their own cultivation and also a part of their income, part of the Xianzong's vast economic system.

Now, the Xianzong's economic system was about to soar, expanding several-fold, even ten-plus-fold.

This meant their incomes would expand in equal proportion!

Taking Jiang Ding as an example, his Sword Dao Hall Group, his various research institutes, the companies holding various immortal Dao patents, sword-forging companies, the Great Solar patent fees... all such things would see a surge, with annual income at least ten times that of the North Plains output — one could say wealth would come even while lying down.

This, then, is the war dividend.

The entire Immortal Gate's wealth would expand on an unprecedented scale; all Immortal Gate cultivators would be several times better off, and their Dao paths several times brighter.

Cultivators who in the past had no hope of advancing to Jin Dan, Nascent Soul, or Soul Transformation now had hope.

Cultivators who in the past had a chance of advancing now had their chances of advancement greatly increased.

Magical treasures that in the past they could not afford could now be obtained...

And so on — all citizens of the Immortal Gate would reap enormous benefits.

"Hahaha, I'm going to get rich..."

The Immortal Gate's Canghai Tianjun fell into wild, joyous laughter.

However, after only a short while, everyone restrained the excitement in their hearts and began to grow murderous.

A Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun has a lifespan of ten thousand years.

They had experienced too much, and knew too much.

Countless past experiences had taught them that sitting on a mountain of treasure would surely attract jackals and wolves, would surely draw tigers and leopards lurking in wait — only by beating the jackals to death and skinning the tigers and leopards down to the bone could one live in peace.

"Not bad."

"It seems everyone has already guessed what I am about to say next."

Canghai Tianjun Zhenjun Shenji's smile faded, and he too spoke with murderous intent: "Now, the Immortal Gate faces three kinds of crisis — immediate worry, mid-range worry, and distant worry."

"The immediate worry: Yuan tells me that the Badaxian Sect has once again formed a close alliance and has launched a war against the Immortal Gate. Those old things truly hid a great deal in the previous battle, never going all out, and now that the war has ended they have struck with a sneak attack — their shamelessness has truly reached the extreme."

"Quite coincidentally, the Immortal Gate had exactly the same plan."

"Of course, we are acting in righteous counterattack, taking the initiative in defense — we are different from them."
