Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 2755: Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, Distribution of Benefits

"Naturally." The Primordial True Monarch and the Purple Light True Lord were already aware of the territory swap between Liang Country and Jiang Country.

Previously, they thought that with such vast lands and contributions, they should demand a share for themselves.

But now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s displayed power, they decided not to discuss this further, unwilling to offend Lu Changsheng and the Xuanjian True Monarch.

"The three of you have contributed greatly to this battle, especially Daoist Caiyun."

"If it weren’t for Daoist risking herself, I wouldn’t have been able to resolve Thousand Blades True Monarch swiftly and rush to Beast God Mountain."

Lu Changsheng spoke, "Now that Liang Country’s territory has been allocated, I wonder what thoughts or needs you three may have. Feel free to speak."

"..." Yun Wanshang knew that Lu Changsheng was legitimately granting her military merits.

Yet hearing that she risked herself to help resolve Thousand Blades True Monarch, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of shame.

Had Thousand Blades True Monarch acted without Lu Changsheng’s intervention to save her, she would have ended severely injured, possibly with her Magic Body shattered.

Nonetheless, being a Nascent Soul True Lord, she maintained her composure, exuding dignity and grace.

"Yangming True Monarch, since True Monarch Ba Wu’s passing, Wu Country, influenced by Liang Country, hasn’t seen the birth of new Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Over the years, Wu Country has been essentially dominated by Yuan Country and Liang Country. Now that Liang Country is pacified and Yuan Country has withdrawn, what are your plans for Wu Country?"

The Purple Light True Lord stood, cupping his hands respectfully.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t very interested in invading Wu Country.

Jiang Country was already sufficient for his family’s needs.

Taking over Wu Country had little benefit.

Even though it could yield continuous resources.

However, controlling and managing such vast lands would require significant time, energy, and manpower, which he lacked.

Yet, if Yun Wanshang needed it, he could help her acquire the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein in Wu Country.

"What are your thoughts, Daoist Zi Guang?" Lu Changsheng asked calmly.

"Wu Country and Liang Country border the Endless Wilderness. Crossing Wind Sand Abyss leads directly to Yuan Country..."

Though the Purple Light True Lord desired Wu Country, his military merits were insufficient to claim Wu Country; hence, he needed to weigh the pros and cons, downplaying Wu Country’s value.

However, everyone present was intelligent; the Purple Light True Lord knew he couldn’t gain significant benefits through mere words and said, "Wu Country is currently in chaos. If True Monarch Yangming hasn’t planned anything, our Purple Light Sect is willing to pacify Wu Country and submit the resources harvested to the alliance’s Treasure Vault."

"My only request is that in the future, Wu Country be under the control of our Purple Light Sect."

The Purple Light True Lord looked at those present as he spoke.

The Primordial True Monarch glanced at the Purple Light True Lord.

He didn’t expect his long-time ally to desire moving from Yue Country to Wu Country.

Though governing Wu Country could secure richer resources.

In terms of geographic location, Yue Country was slightly better than Wu Country and safer.

Having dealt with each other for years, the Primordial True Monarch vaguely guessed the Purple Light True Lord’s intention: The desire to relocate to Wu Country was partly for better resources.

The other reason probably was a fear of Yangming True Monarch, wanting to distance himself somewhat.

"What are your opinions, everyone?" Lu Changsheng asked those present.

"I have no objection, but simply submitting resources from Wu Country may not suffice," the Primordial True Monarch said, his expression calm.

Xuanjian and Juejian maintained calm expressions, having no objections.

With the exchange of Liang Country for Jiang Country, Heavenly Sword Sect would soon move from Jiang Country to Liang Country, still needing to subdue and clear the cultivators in Liang Country.

And partitioning territory, rebuilding mountain gates, managing Spirit Veins, clearing Spiritual Mechanisms, setting up Great Formations, and numerous other tasks would keep them occupied, leaving no interest in leading armies to pacify Wu Country.

They were even happy to see the Purple Light True Lord handle it and share resources afterwards.

Before Yun Wanshang could speak, Lu Changsheng said, "Daoist Caiyun’s willingness to risk herself is to gain military merits for the exchange of Bawu Sect’s Fourth Rank Spiritual Land."

"At the time, I agreed with Daoist Caiyun that if the Purple Light True Lord wanted Wu Country, it would be natural but requires Purple Light Sect’s Spiritual Land Dojo to offset the military merits."

Lu Changsheng had no objection to the Purple Light True Lord governing Wu Country.

Originally, he thought that if Yun Wanshang needed it, he could help her acquire that spiritual land.

But deep down, Lu Changsheng didn’t want Yun Wanshang to move Qingyun Sect to Wu Country.

Too far!

Traveling between Jiang Country and Jin Country, Starry Sky Sea and Great Dream Marsh already consumed enough time.

If that woman moved to Wu Country, if he wanted to visit his son, wouldn’t he have to journey to Wu Country?

Besides, if Yun Wanshang moved Qingyun Sect, wouldn’t Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi also have to go along?

Thus, Lu Changsheng leaned towards having the Heavenly Sword Sect, Primordial Sect, and Purple Light Sect’s Array Masters, Dragon Seekers, extract Spiritual Vein Origin from Liang Country or Wu Country’s Fourth Rank Spirit Veins to nurture Qingyun Sect’s Spirit Vein, upgrading it to Fourth Rank.

Though this came at a high cost.

Not only would it significantly deplete Spiritual Vein Origin and consume time, but it would also damage the fortune of Dragon Seekers and Array Masters.

Now that the Purple Light True Lord wanted Wu Country, letting forth Purple Light Sect’s Fourth Rank Spirit Vein would be a compromise solution.

"This rascal..." Yun Wanshang felt touched.

She did desire a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein.

Yet her personality was too strong to yield before Lu Changsheng, unable to ask for help.

Planning to use her military merits to approach Xuanjian True Monarch.

Hoping that he might transfer some Fourth Rank Spirit Veins from Liang Country to nurture Qingyun Sect’s main vein.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng directly spoke up to help her negotiate.

The Purple Light True Lord’s eyes narrowed, glancing at Yun Wanshang, then after contemplating briefly, said, "Fine, but this can wait until I pacify Wu Country and relocate."

"Agreed." Lu Changsheng nodded, and then the six divided the territories of Liang and Wu Countries.

Liang Country goes to Heavenly Sword Sect.

Jiang Country goes to Great Dream Immortal City.

Wu Country goes to Purple Light Sect.

Daoist Caiyun gets first choice to exchange Purple Light Sect’s Spiritual Land Dojo.

Yet, Qingyun Sect’s military merits alone aren’t enough to claim the Spiritual Land Dojo; other means must supplement the exchange.

After redrawing territory lines, next came distributing resources from this war.

With Purple Light True Lord choosing Wu Country, the Purple Light Sect couldn’t participate in resource distribution.

Yun Wanshang, considering her need to exchange military merits for Purple Light Sect’s Spiritual Land Dojo, also stayed out of the resource distribution.

Accordingly, based on contribution, Great Dream Immortal City gained 60%, Primordial Sect gained 25%, and Heavenly Sword Sect gained 15%.

Though the top-level force in Liang Country during this war was almost all dealt with by Lu Changsheng, the Yangming True Monarch.

The war depended on several forces resisting for years, battlefield clearance, post-war processing, etc. Hence, effort was acknowledged even in the absence of direct merit.

Like the Primordial True Monarch, not just his direct disciples perished in this war.

The sect’s newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator also fell, his Magic Body broken, escalating the sacrifices.

Having acquired territory in Jiang Country through individual merit, Lu Changsheng didn’t overly assert himself in resource division, avoiding pettiness.

He even proactively showed goodwill, sharing ample resources with Primordial Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect, hoping for future harmonious cooperation and mutual advancement.

Earlier, the Primordial True Monarch had felt anxious about neighboring the Yangming True Monarch.

Now, seeing him voluntarily relent in resource allocation and showing goodwill, he relaxed.

Knowing that as long as they didn’t provoke him, the next century should allow Primordial Sect peaceful development.

The Purple Light True Lord felt sour observing Lu Changsheng’s goodwill towards Primordial Sect, regretting his early choice of Wu Country, costing significant resources.

"Current attitude doesn’t guarantee future attitudes, and Wu Country’s resources are richer, benefiting sect development more," he consoled himself.

After resource distribution, the six discussed some aftermath matters and upcoming situations, marking the end of the meeting.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. If there are other issues, Daoists can send word," Lu Changsheng addressed Xuanjian True Monarch, Primordial True Monarch, and Daoist Caiyun, then left Beast God Mountain with the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
