Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

Venerable Xuan Feng thought about it and found that this was indeed the current situation.

In the past, this kind of thing never happened.

They actually have quite a lot of choices.

Zhijin Tower has connections with Venerable Xuanfeng, so it is the first choice.

At the same time, Yueshang Pavilion is now hostile to Zhijin Tower. With such a relationship, it is not a good choice.

Unless Yueshang Pavilion can offer huge benefits specifically for the two of them.

But this is basically impossible.

So Zhou Ming didn't consider Yueshang Pavilion at all.

As for Beichen Palace and Xianlingdan Tower, Zhou Ming considered them equal.

However, between the two, Zhou Ming is more willing to cooperate with Xianling Danta.

Because he can provide enough medium and low-quality spiritual medicines.

At the same time, you can also obtain high-level spiritual medicine seeds from the Xianling Dan Tower.

But now, with the development of the situation, the situation is completely different.

Now he can only choose between Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion.

Beichen Palace and Xianlingdan Tower had already been excluded from his backup options at this time.

the reason is simple.

In this incident, these two major forces have taken the position of supervisors and are not prepared to participate in it.

This incident is aimed at cleaning up the entire Hufenglin.

No matter what the final result is, the number of monsters in Hufeng Forest will inevitably be greatly reduced.

In this way, the dangers in the Tiger Peak Forest will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, after this incident, the camps built by these monks who fought their way into the Tiger Peak Forest naturally had the basis for settlements.

In other words, the development progress of the entire Hufenglin will be greatly improved because of this incident, and it may even be possible to directly establish a route through the Hufenglin.

The consequence of this is that Beijie City can transport manpower and material resources to the northern border area faster and better, thereby strengthening Beijie City's control over the northern border area.

In this case, the person who controls such a route is extremely important.

It connects Beijie City and the northern border, and has great inherent advantages.

Not to mention that the winner can directly take control of the largest spiritual land in the border area, which is Tianheng City.

After gaining this control, they will not waste it and will definitely send a combined monk to be stationed there.

In this way, a huge, even king-like force will appear in the border area!

For the forces in the border area, this matter is extremely critical.

If you can get on board the ship of this force in advance, it is equivalent to following the dragon, and you will gain advantages in the future.

This is extremely critical for Jiulongshan and Wudeju.

Beichen Palace and Xianlingdan Tower gave up the competition, and also gave up the opportunity to open up this route and control Tianheng City.

Then, Zhou Ming would naturally eliminate it from the option of cooperation.

The remaining targets are Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion.

As for other forces, Zhou Ming didn't consider them at all.

Because their winning rate is too low!

This so-called competition is not a battle or a treasure hunt. It is not about luck or even combat effectiveness, but the foundation of a force.

Clearing the tiger peak forest and developing roads is a long process that requires continuous investment.

As the saying goes, once the cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold.

And these ten thousand taels of gold require a continuous investment. Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you can get ten thousand taels of gold every day. If all goes well, it will only take a few decades.

If things don’t go well, it’s possible that it could last for hundreds of years!

Apart from Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion, which other forces can make such long-term and lasting investment?

I don’t have that ability!

Well...even if they were really lucky and cleared out Hufenglin and captured Tianheng City.

And after that?

Can they maintain this route for a long time?

Tianheng City, can they defend it?

Don’t even mention the guarantees from Beichen Palace and Xianlingdan Tower… It’s precisely because of their guarantees that Tianheng City may not be able to be saved!

After all, you have to rely on their strength to control the city in your hands. So if you don't share some of the benefits of this city with them, can you be trusted?

Therefore, in this competition, only Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion have the capital and strength to compete.

And the final prize can only be truly in their hands once they get it in their hands.

Other forces are just running along!

Even if you win in the end, you have to share the cake with others.

What’s even worse is that Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion are the ones who are qualified to share their cake.

Presumably, the other combined forces were extremely depressed at this time.

So after comprehensive consideration, there are more than ten contestants, but there are only two that are worthy of their support.

Among these two, Jiulongshan and Zhijinlou have had a trading relationship for thousands of years.

Based on this point alone, they have an innate advantage here in Zhijin Tower.

At the same time, it has an inherent disadvantage on the side of Yueshang Pavilion.

So, it is self-evident who to choose between the two!

The only one who suffered some losses was probably Zhou Ming.

Because Zhou Ming actually doesn’t care about the development of Wudeju, but is more concerned about the spiritual energy of the Tianhuo Secret Realm.

As for the spiritual energy of the Skyfire Secret Realm, at present, it is largely affected by the level of the spiritual plants planted in the secret realm.

Moreover, there are many spiritual plants that contain fragments of the Great Dao, and they all have some special effects.

For example, the Nine Heavens Thunder Yuan Fruit Tree.

For example, the sacred tree of the origin of life.

Or maybe it is the sacred tree that is the origin of blood.

Even the cave tree.

After reaching the Return to Void realm, where one can directly synthesize all kinds of natural treasures by controlling the vital energy of heaven and earth, the value of those spiritual plants that do not possess fragments of the Great Dao will drop drastically.

Corresponding to this are naturally these spiritual plants that possess fragments of the Great Dao.

Since it cannot be synthesized, you can only plant it honestly, and its value will increase accordingly.

What's more, for cultivators below the fusion realm, things like fragments of the Great Dao are actually not important at all whether they have them or not.

After all, they can't feel it either.

However, cultivators who have reached the stage of fusion or above can sense the existence of fragments of the Great Dao and thus comprehend the Great Dao from them.

It is said that in ancient times there were sages who established temples under the Bodhi tree and comprehended the profound law of cause and effect.

Like the Nine Heavens Thunder Yuan Fruit Tree, the Divine Tree of the Origin of Life, which breeds fragments of the Great Dao, they are also good helpers for cultivators in the fusion realm to comprehend the Great Dao.

It is normal to plant a tree in your own temple and attain enlightenment under it!

Therefore, purely from Zhou Ming's own wishes, cooperating with Xianling Danta is his first choice.

However, Xianling Danta did not participate in this competition at all, but served as a referee.

Zhou Ming was really helpless.

You can't just go to the Xianlingdan Tower yourself and ask those two combined celestial beings to let them participate in the competition, right?

If you can't make a choice, then you can only settle for the next best thing and look for Zhijin Tower.
