Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Over a hundred Nascent Souls in the lower seats all focused on the map that had been spread out before them, observing the colored regions of Taiyang County and Liangzhou with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Zheng Fa could understand this astonishment—it was not to say that his own contributions weren’t significant, but Tongming Master had simply conceded too much.

The Hundred Immortals Alliance’s seven provinces and twenty-three counties were not merely territories, but also the lifeline of spirit ore and Spirit Plants that the Alliance had relied on for many years.

By giving up four entire provinces all at once, Tongming Master had truly bled greatly:

If he had previously used these four provinces to appease the Great Freedom Demon Sect, perhaps he could have gained a ’friend’ within the Demon Sect, or even competed for a position akin to that of the Netherworld Immortal.

Now, by using two provinces to entice Jiushan Sect, which Cheng Kong Master possessed, was no simple matter. Liangzhou aside, Jiushan Sect was originally based in Taiyang—Tan Yang County, where the Secret Realm was located, was also in Taiyang.

Even originally, Jiushan Sect did not occupy the entirety of Taiyang.

Now, with just a single nod from Zheng Fa, Jiushan Sect could directly expand its territory, becoming twice as large as before!

Moreover, aside from being Jiushan Sect’s historic land, which held great significance to the sect, Taiyang was also incredibly valuable—don’t forget the spirit cave that appeared in Taiyang County, there’s even a spirit stone mine there!

Cheng Kong Master was looking at Zheng Fa with a smile, showing that he really had put a lot of thought into this.
