By the time the second magical power took shape, the true elixir in Li Zhao's body had finally become complete, round and flawless, with a restrained divine light, yet exuding a sense of vastness.
A powerful aura spread out, and this time Zhang Shen did not stop it.
This aura dissipated from the Shanshuiju barrier and dissipated on its own after spreading a hundred miles.
But all the warriors in the Ancient Alliance who were in the late innate stage or above noticed the movement here.
"This feeling is from the direction of Shanshuiju, could it be!" Zhang Yu and Li Zhong, who were diligently handling affairs at the Ancient Alliance headquarters, noticed the movement, one had an inexplicable look on his face, and the other was ecstatic.
"Let's go, let's go congratulate the birth of a new True Dan master." Zhang Yu's expression was a little complicated. When Zhang Shen was still a little boy, he was already an eighth-level acquired warrior. Now all of Zhang Shen's disciples are True Dan masters, and he has just touched the edge of True Dan. Whether he has a chance to break through is a question.
Li Zhong was a man of insight and saw this, but he didn't say anything. This was very normal, and it was not surprising that Zhang Yu, with his status, would feel the discrepancy.
"Um."
"Manager Zhang, the power of the Ancient Alliance has become even stronger." Li Zhong said happily.
Over the past few decades, the remaining three members of the Li family have already been fully integrated into the Ancient Alliance.
The only regret for Li Zhong is that neither Li Zhao nor Li Wu had any intention of getting married and having children.
As a result, the Li family now has only three people.
In less than an hour, the top leaders of the Ancient Alliance gathered at Shanshuiju again.
Li Zhao also woke up from his state of meditation and breakthrough.
It will take dozens of days to familiarize yourself with the power after the breakthrough, as well as to learn the knowledge and martial arts of the True Dan realm.
But it doesn't prevent her from coming out temporarily to meet the people from the Ancient Alliance.
After a long conversation, Li Zhao retreated into the building and began to consolidate his own cultivation.
Zhang Shenze led a group of senior leaders of the Ancient Alliance and sat down beside the lake.
He has something to say.
There were too many people coming and there were not enough chairs. Fortunately, they were all martial artists who didn't care about the dust. Their hands and faces were usually dirty from their practice, so they just sat on the ground.
"Zhao'er has achieved a breakthrough to the True Dan stage. Our Ancient Alliance has become even stronger."
"This is a good thing. In this way, the ancient alliance's current territory will be a little small."
"With three True Dan, we can already expand our territory further!"
Zhang Shen said just a few words, and the senior leaders of the Ancient Alliance were already in an uproar.
No one was afraid. The powerful combat capability of the three True Dans was enough to support their ambitions.
Especially Zhang Shen, the leader of the alliance, gave them the greatest confidence.
All along, Zhang Shen has selectively leaked part of his cultivation and battle achievements to the top leaders of the Ancient Alliance. Combined with some things they learned through their own channels, their confidence in the leader is higher than Zhang Shen himself.
Zhang Shen looked at Ye Ruohuo and said, "Elder Ye, once Zhao'er has consolidated her cultivation, I will let her preside over this expansion."
"I hope you can help me."
Ye Ruhuo was a little surprised. Let Li Zhao host it
"Alliance leader, although Li Zhao has unlimited potential, she is only a newly promoted True Dan. The three forces surrounding the Ancient Alliance are all led by veteran True Dan masters."
"If the leader doesn't do it himself, I'm afraid even if Li Zhao and I join forces, we won't be able to take them down."
Ye Ruhuo was very honest. It had only been a few years since she broke through the True Dan realm. Although her potential had been exhausted, she could only cultivate to the third level of True Dan in the future, which was still a level that required deep practice to achieve.
But considering her age, she can still live for at least another 300 years.
She didn't want to show off and lose her life.
"I know." Zhang Shen said calmly.
"Don't worry, I'll be there to watch, too."
“But I won’t do it casually.”
"They are the trial opponents I have left for you. The road of martial arts requires enough opponents in order to make rapid progress."
"Practice is necessary, but blindly practicing can easily lead to a wrong path. Only in battle can one discover one's shortcomings and make up for them."
"This is a rare opportunity. You and Zhao'er can take this opportunity to verify what you have learned."
As he said this, Zhang Shen looked again
To the public.
"Everyone, this time the expansion of the Ancient Alliance is different from the past."
"No need to rush. I need you to plan every step."
“Occupy one place and rule it, bring every piece of land under the control of the Ancient Alliance, and plant the roots of power at the lowest level.”
"I don't want to see tribes and villages that are independent of the ancient alliance system still exist in the occupied areas in the end."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
This requirement is quite demanding, and no one has ever made such a request before.
But Zhang Shen was the leader of the alliance, so they had no choice but to satisfy his request.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not impossible to do.
This is thanks to the various development strategies that the Ancient Alliance has been implementing, its emphasis on cultural education, and Zhang Shen's implicit cultivation of civilian warriors.
Nowadays, there are countless people available in the Ancient Alliance.
After all, he has a population of 200 million under his command. Excluding the elderly and children, there are countless adults who can be used as tools.
In the past, the Ancient Alliance did not have so many positions. In fact, most of the useful people were idle, leaving them to find a way to make a living on their own.
Only the most outstanding ones can enter the ancient alliance.
Of course, although they are idle, they are actually all members of the Ancient Alliance.
The kind that is filed.
In order to maintain the loyalty of these people, the Ancient Alliance would often arrange for people to hold some collective activities.
Such activities can enhance their sense of collective honor, make them feel that they are part of the big family of Gu Meng, and make it less likely for them to have disloyalty.
Now that the Ancient Alliance is planning to expand greatly, the leader of the alliance has requested that the Ancient Alliance extend its influence into the villages and tribes at the bottom of the territory to be occupied in the future.
This undoubtedly requires a large number of manpower, which is just the right time to put these idle personnel to use.
Among these people, civilian warriors accounted for the vast majority.
In the ancient alliance, some people realized that this was the leader's plan, but they didn't say anything. The leader's prestige was unmatched in the alliance, and they couldn't stop it.
But after realizing this purpose, they also had some little thoughts in their minds.
How can you seek benefits for yourself while meeting the leader's requirements
Zhang Shen has no interest in stopping these things. As long as it is not excessive and does not cross the bottom line, he will not care.
Negotiations of interests are something that cannot be eliminated at all, as long as a loser is not elected to sit in a position that he should not sit in.
What happens if you cross the line
The law enforcement team is not there just for show.
Especially now that Li Zhao has entered the Real Dan realm and become the second member of the Elders Council after Ye Ruhuo of the Ancient Alliance, the law enforcement team she is in charge of is incomparable in terms of power and deterrence.
"Go down, make preparations as quickly as possible, and gather the necessary personnel as soon as possible."
"I'll take action one year from now."
"If you are not well prepared in all aspects after one year, I will find trouble with that person for any problem."
Everyone present, except for a few who were familiar with Zhang Shen and had a close relationship with him, became nervous and solemn.
Zhang Shen's prestige in the Ancient Alliance is not only based on his strength, his ruthlessness is also a very important factor.
Everyone left with full of thoughts, and as they left, they discussed in groups of three or four how to complete the task assigned by the leader.
Shanshuiju became quiet again.
Zhang Shen sat on the wooden bridge over the lake and watched the ripples on the lake.
He took out a small piece of Dharma-grade spiritual iron from the storage bag and put it into his mouth to chew.
"One year. I hope those three forces will be smarter."
"It would be best if you just retreat. If you don't want to, you will just become an experience bag for Zhao'er and Elder Ye."
"Even if I wait until I take action, the outcome won't be very good."
When Zhang Shen was tasting the spiritual iron, a small vine stretched out from his thin sleeve and tentatively wiped his lips, as if wanting to see if there were any spiritual iron fragments left.
"What? You want to eat too?" Zhang Shen stroked Teng Man.
"Forget it, this is not the right food for you. Just digest the Huang Dongsha slowly."
The vine seemed a little dissatisfied, but finally retracted and wrapped around Zhang Shen's wrist.
There are several fruit-shaped balls hanging on it, tinkling like bells.
The clone Lin Fanyun used the branches of the Gluttonous Demon Vine to cultivate his own innate magic weapon "Gluttony".
Zhang Shen naturally would not waste the main body of the magic vine.
It is a being that is more greedy and more tyrannical than the branches.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shen’s original body cannot be compared to his flesh and blood clone.
The Gluttonous Demon Vine itself could not cause any trouble in front of Zhang Shen, so it was refined into a magic weapon.
But unlike the clone refining it into a life-long magic weapon, Zhang Shen just refined it into a magic weapon.
In order to cultivate it, Zhang Shen invested a lot of resources in it.
Huang Dongsha, who was beaten and crippled before, also became its meal.
On the other hand, the big move of the Ancient Alliance was noticed by the surrounding forces.
The three forces all sent spies to investigate.
Soon, they received news that the Ancient Alliance would expand.
This made them panic instantly.
The development of the Ancient Alliance over the years had already aroused their fear, and they had wanted to eliminate Li Zhao in Xiongshami before.
The result failed.
Now that Li Zhao has made a breakthrough, the Ancient Alliance is indeed going to expand its territory against them.
The Ancient Alliance did not hide this news.
In order to meet Zhang Shen's request, the Ancient Alliance mobilized a large force, and such a large move could not be concealed at all.
It is of no use trying to cover up something.
It’s better to be open and honest.
With the current strength of the Ancient Alliance, it is completely superior to the other three. Even if the three join forces, Zhang Shen can solve it with just a little effort.
Since we have overwhelming strength, following the kingly way is the best choice.
The reason these three forces were able to survive was only because Zhang Shen wanted to completely seize the fruits of expansion.
As time passed, the ancient alliance's preparations became more and more complete, and the personnel preparations were almost complete.
However, at this time, an unexpected person came to Shanshuiju.
The ancestor of Qingjian Sect, one of the three forces, Xu Qing, the White-bearded Sword, came over.
Although Xu Qing is nicknamed White-bearded Sword, he is a young True Dan. His lifespan is only over 300 years old, so he still has more than 200 years to live.
His cultivation has even reached the fourth level of True Dan, and he is not far from the fifth level of True Dan.
There is some hope for the Dharma.
That glimmer of hope was very slim. After all, Qingjianmen had no inheritance above the True Dan level, and at most it was enough for Xu Qing to cultivate to the ninth level of the True Dan level.
Without a higher level of inheritance, if you want to carve out a path for yourself, every step forward will be a matter of life and death.
"I'm curious why you came to see me." In the center of Shanshui Residence, Zhang Shen looked at Xu Qing and asked curiously.
Xu Qing looked calm, but his tone was somewhat sad and resentful.
"I had to come."
"The Ancient Alliance has been preparing since eight months ago, and now it is almost ready, but our three forces haven't even discussed whether to join forces. If I don't come, Qingjianmen will just become history."
"History?" Zhang Shen smiled.
"You have the option of moving away from your current location."
"Then there will be no conflict between us."
Xu Qing looked at Zhang Shen for a long time and said speechlessly.
"Master of the Ancient Alliance, this is not a good idea."
Zhang Shen remained calm, as he knew this was not a good idea.
When Hongyuan City was in its early days, facing the threat of the monster tide, why didn't they consider relocating until the last moment
The endless wilderness is not a good place!
It is not easy to start over after leaving the territory you have fought for for many years.
Nine times out of ten it will fail.
However, in the barren and endless wilderness, there are not many places suitable for a True Dan sect to survive.
As for the human territory
The competition there is much greater than in the Endless Wilderness.
If you only have one True Pill and don't ask for too much, you can live a very comfortable life.
A sect went there
Without some skill and strength, you'll be finished soon.
