Chapter 405: An Attempting Split (1)
This was an opportunity, but it was also a disaster!
Even for Zhu Wuyang, who was cheating, this was not an easy hurdle to overcome.
According to Cai Chaoan, the Endless Snake Marsh was a treasure land that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Medicine God Sect had fought over for thousands of years. It was 1.5 billion square kilometers, which was equivalent to three Earths.
In this vast swamp, there were countless snake-type demon beasts and spirit beasts. There were even legendary true dragons.
To Nine Dragon Mountain, whose foundation cultivation technique was the Nine Dragon Scripture, the Endless Snake Marsh was a huge treasure trove. Therefore, when they fought with the Medicine God Sect over the Endless Snake Marsh all these years, Nine Dragon Mountain had always been at the forefront. Even the Dragon Flame Hall Master, Cai Chaoan, had personally participated.
After several generations of hard work, they had finally successfully seized the Endless Snake Marsh this year and made it the territory of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
However, in the process of seizing the Endless Snake Marsh, Scorpio Mountain had also invested a lot of manpower and resources in order to curb the development of Nine Dragon Mountain. The contributions of the two mountain ranges were almost the same.
Therefore, even though they had obtained the ownership of the Endless Snake Marsh, they couldn’t decide which mountain range they should give the Endless Snake Marsh to.
The two mountain ranges had been in a stalemate for a long time. They were supposed to continue, but they did not expect Zhu Wuwan to amaze everyone in the Hundred Poisons War at this moment, causing a stir in the entire Thousand Poisons Sect.
Therefore, in the next negotiations between the two mountain ranges, this matter was also placed on the negotiation table, and it became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
In the end, after a discussion, under the pressure of the Scorpio Mountain Range, Nine Dragon Mountain had no choice but to agree to many conditions.
One of the most important things was to let Zhu Wuyan go to the Endless Snake Marsh to guard it in advance. The Endless Snake Marsh would also be the place where Zhu Wuyan would train as the Crown Prince.
If Zhu Wanhao could raise the tax of the Endless Snake Marsh to ten billion low-grade spirit stones per year in the next ten years, then he would have completed the Crown Prince trial. If he couldn’t, he would fail the Crown Prince trial and the Endless Snake Marsh would have to be handed over to the Scorpio Mountain Range.
Of course, if it was successful, Nine Dragon Mountain would have the Endless Snake Marsh, and Zhu Wuwan would also monopolize one-fifth of the tax revenue of the Endless Snake Marsh. Even if it was only the lowest standard of ten billion, one-fifth would still be two billion low-grade spirit stones, which was comparable to Zhu Wuwan’s current income from all other aspects.
This was an astonishing number!
Perhaps some people would think that Zhu Wuyan’s one-fifth was too little, but it should be known that in order to seize the Endless Snake Marsh from the Medicine God Sect, countless cultivators of Nine Dragon Mountain had put in thousands of years of hard work. The manpower and material resources spent were incalculable.
It could be said that many cultivator families had spent dozens of generations to help the Thousand Poisons Sect seize the Endless Snake Marsh bit by bit. The entire Nine Dragon Mountain had paid a terrifying price.
Now, as long as Zhu Wanhao could put in ten years of hard work, she would be able to get one-fifth of the Endless Snake Marsh’s harvest. Was that not enough?
Of course, if Zhu Wuyang could become the sect master of the Thousand Poisons Sect or the mountain master of Nine Dragon Mountain in the future, he could also increase this share.
Moreover, if Zhu Wuyan managed it well, he would get a third of the profits that exceeded 10 billion yuan every year. If it exceeded 20 billion yuan, he would get more than half of the profits.
This might be very difficult for other legacy crown princes, but it wasn’t too difficult for Zhu Wuyang, who had transmigrated from modern society and mastered many advanced economic methods.
Therefore, for Zhu Wuan, the most difficult part of this Crown Prince trial wasn’t to raise the tax revenue of the Endless Snake Marsh, but how to protect his own life.
After all, Zhu Wuyang’s outstanding performance in the War of Hundred Poisons had already attracted the attention of many spies and traitors from the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect. Once Zhu Wuyang left the relatively safe headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, all kinds of assassinations and sneak attacks would definitely follow.
Even if they didn’t dare to do it openly, it would be even more terrifying if they did it secretly.
The Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect would never let go of such a good opportunity!
It was no wonder that Cai Chaoan and the other ancient tycoons of Nine Dragon Mountain had given him so many life-saving treasures. This was the result. After all, it was indeed a little too much to let a future successor Crown Prince take such a huge risk to participate in such a trial. This could also be considered compensation from the ancient tycoons.
Of course, Zhu Wuyan could also refuse. However, Nine Dragon Mountain would definitely lose the huge treasury of Endless Snake Marsh, and Zhu Wuyan would also lose a large amount of wealth and resources.
Many higher-ups of Nine Dragon Mountain would also have a problem with him, and they would not provide any more convenience for Wuyang Peak. At that time, the development of Wuyang Peak would also be difficult.
Therefore, after some consideration, in the face of great temptation and serious consequences, Zhu Wuyang decided to take a little risk.
However, before he ventured, he had to give them a set meal first.
There was only a year left. To be precise, it was not even a year. Zhu Wuyang had to earn a large number of breakthrough stones during this period of time.
After the recent major improvement, the total number of Breakthrough Stones that Zhu Wuyang could store in his body had already reached more than 500 million. In addition, there were so many big spenders, so Zhu Wuyang did not have to worry about the problem of not being able to get out of the Breakthrough Stones.
In other words, ever since he cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Technique, Zhu Wuwan had never worried about the problem of not being able to use up the Breakthrough Stone. Facing the crazy speed of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Technique, Zhu Wuwan was also dumbfounded.
Thinking about it carefully, if he wanted to earn a lot of breakthrough stones in the remaining year, other than using the monthly income of the Uninjured Peak, he had to give them the package.
Originally, Zhu Wuwan had planned to wait until everything was completely stabilized before spending time to investigate the residences of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Nine Dragon Mountain Range and the array formations set up around them, so as to prepare for the subsequent delivery of the set meal.
He didn’t expect that before the investigation even started, he would be given a set meal.
The strength of the invisibility Gu had not increased, so it was a little difficult to deliver the set meal and serve many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Therefore, he had to increase his array formation cultivation first!
After a moment of consideration, Zhu Wuwan decided to spend more than 100 million Freedom Breakthrough Stones to raise her array formation cultivation to the ranks of a middle-grade top-grade Spiritual Array Master.
A huge amount of Freedom Breakthrough Stones rolled into his body. Zhu Wuyan’s array formation cultivation soared at a speed visible to the naked eye. All kinds of array formation techniques and experience surged into his mind.
It was as if Zhu Wanwan had personally immersed herself in the path of array formations for hundreds of years. Bit by bit, she raised her array formation cultivation from mid-level high-grade to mid-level top-grade.
One must know that even in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, a Peak Rank Intermediate Spiritual Array Master was considered rare. In the ordinary regions of the Southern Wasteland, a Peak Rank Intermediate Spiritual Array Master was a high and mighty figure.
The number of Spiritual Array Grandmasters was far less than the number of Alchemy Grandmasters. To a certain extent, they were even rarer than Alchemy Grandmasters.
In just a few dozen minutes, Zhu Wuwan had walked the path that other Spiritual Array Masters would take hundreds or even thousands of years to walk. She had raised her array cultivation to the peak of mid-grade top-grade.
With such a cultivation base, Zhu Wuwan could even set up a mid-grade top-grade spiritual array group that could resist a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. If he was given enough time, Zhu Wuwan could even withstand the siege of a large group of Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
On Nine Dragon Mountain, most of the formations set up around the residences of Nascent Soul cultivators were only mid-level, mid-level, or high-level. With Zhu Wuwan’s current cultivation of formations, it was much easier for her to break through them.
After getting used to his soaring array formation cultivation, Zhu Wuwan brought the invisibility Gu and started a new round of free meal activities.
Although the strength of the Invisible Strange Gu had not reached the Exceptional Gold Core Realm, with the help of Zhu Wuwan, it could still easily break through the middle-level middle-level and some middle-level high-level spiritual arrays. It was enough for Zhu Wuwan to send many sets of meals.
In addition, with her current identity as the Nine Dragons Prince, Zhu Wuwan’s speed of obtaining intelligence and information had increased exponentially, which was also beneficial to the upcoming free meal event.

Soon, Zhu Wuyang sneaked into the Dragon Flame Grotto and prepared to deliver the set meal to the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
After all, Zhu Wuan had stayed in Dragon Flame Grotto for the longest time, and now he was half the owner of Dragon Flame Grotto. It was easy to obtain information about this place, so he naturally had to deliver the set meal here first.
Unfortunately, the cultivators of the Dragon Flame Grotto were still traumatized. The Nascent Soul old monsters were about to suffer inhumane torture.
Soon, Zhu Wuyang snuck into the residence of the first Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and prepared to give him a comprehensive and nutritious meal.
The number of breakthrough stones that a Nascent Soul old monster had brought to Zhu Wuyang far exceeded that of a Golden Core cultivator!
