Having gathered almost all of the Divine Kings of the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation, they were gathered here in the huge round conference hall. After deciding on many of the things that happened during the past three thousand years and starting to decide on the direction of the Ninth Gate for the next three thousand years, they began to divide the fruits.

The fruit of this division was a change in power and position.

All of the Grand Elders with titles and authority could serve a maximum of four terms at a time, which was three thousand years.

And every time the Highest Elders gathered, it meant that some of them would retire or continue to hold his position. It also meant whether or not there were new Highest Elders that held actual power.

It looked like this was the battlefield where the various factions were openly and covertly fighting, but in actuality, this wasn't the case.

There were very few titles that Celestial King of Seven Turbulences could use to become the title of Great Elder, and Celestial King of Eight Tribulations did not have many titles within the Ninth Gate. In fact, the alternation of authority between the five factions was often very difficult to cause big waves, because practically all of the titles were decided by the Eight Tribulations Great Elders themselves or in secret fights, and battles between the Eight Tribulations Great Elders were usually very difficult for the five factions to get involved in.

What the five great factions could do was to support a particular supreme elder and build a good relationship with a particular supreme elder. Then, after this supreme elder took the stage, their faction would receive many benefits or benefits.

Therefore, the true fruit of division was not the alternation of power, but the division of positions after the alternation of power.

If he divided the other positions, it would be the return of the newly appointed Great Master.

For example, the regulation of Northern Desert, the suppression of Western Corridor, and the commanders of the three towns, these were all things that were absolutely lacking.

Western Corridor was a channel that connected the various forces in the Thousand-Star Universe, it was also a important diplomatic ground, and trade was developed. The three commanders of the three towns were the leaders of the three battle legions of Ninth Gate, which were formed by fifty thousand Divine Kings, and all of them had very deep experience in Ninth Gate, Elders or Grand Elders, as well as their own territories.

In addition to these three very fat jobs, there were also hundreds of other jobs, big and small.

This was the division of fruits.

These were the positions that the five great factions were competing for.

However, at this meeting, not a single person from Chen Faction was present.

Meng Fan was also not present.

He was still in closed door cultivation on the Qingyun Peak.

After stirring up some trouble and saving Chen Qin, Meng Fan still maintained a good relationship with Faang Haoyun. However, he was no longer interested in those matters of power.

Because of Sect Master's impending change of position, the battle became quite intense, forming a huge vortex. Besides Grand Elder Red Cauldron and the Sentencing Elder continuing to wield power, the other Great Elders with actual authority all announced their retirement one after another. The following positions changed several times, and the scarier thing was, six Grand Elders were convicted and imprisoned!

In the meeting, the fighting had reached a white-hot stage. Many of the supreme elders had fallen out with each other and started to attack each other. These people all had some skill, and everyone had their hands on some of the others' weakness, and even if they didn't have any help, their secret dealings with each other would result in many people becoming victims.

It could be said that this was the most bloody meeting of the Utmost Exalted Elders in the past hundreds of thousands of years. If it wasn't for Grand Elder Red Cauldron and the Punishment Elder stepping out to mediate for them, more evidence of their crimes might have been exposed. This wasn't a good thing for Ninth Gate.

In the end, the three Nine Tribulations Supreme Elders who almost never spoke out in public also came forward to settle the conflict.

Meng Fan did not participate in these matters, but he was well aware of them. Naturally, there would be people who would inform him about the matter at the gathering.

He did not participate in this grand gathering to fight for benefits because he and Faang Haoyun had a tacit understanding. Because right now, the biggest difference in Ninth Gate was not Northern Desert, not Western Corridor, not three towns, but Azure Dragon Mountain Range.

Every year, the Azure Dragon Mountain Range would produce eighty million high-grade Pills, and most of them would remain in the high-grade second grade. This accounted for about sixty percent of the Pills refined by the Seventh Layer Gate, and it was more than twice as good as Grand Elder Red Cauldron's Myriad Manifestation Cauldron!

Although a portion of the Pills s that were refined with Azure Dragon Mountain Range would have to be handed over to the sect every year, there weren't that many. Ten million of them was already far beyond the sect's rules.

Most importantly, the Azure Dragon Mountain Range is Meng Fan's own, the Northern Desert is only a supervision, the three towns are just a commander, the Western Corridor is just a caretaker, and is only a substitute for the sect's administration.

Compared to Azure Dragon Mountain Range, these differences were a little too inferior.

Azure Dragon Mountain Range could be said to be the richest place in the entire Ninth Gate, thanks to the reputation of a genius in alchemy.

It was a very simple account. Each year, Azure Dragon Mountain Range s were refined into eighty million Pills, of which ten million would be handed over to the sect. Some thirty million of them would be used by the disciples in charge of Azure Dragon Mountain Range s and the rest would be used by themselves.

Amongst the remaining forty million, there were around twenty million. Meng Fan used them to reward those outstanding hanger-ons, giving them to some of the Great Elders of the Seventh and Eighth Gate, or used them to build up and use for the Azure Dragon Mountain Range every year.0

The remaining twenty million was given to Meng Fan himself. The majority of it was given to the disciples and elders of the Chen Faction.

A single Azure Dragon Mountain Range supported 10,000 hanger-ons, more than three hundred people with Chen Faction, and with the connections of at least ten Grand Elders and Faang Haoyun, it supported the Ninth Gate's most prosperous territory.

In this situation, why did Meng Fan have to take on other authorities? Once they took over, it would be equivalent to falling into a vortex of conflict. The matter of Chen Qin's punishment was something many people hadn't forgotten.

Therefore, in this rather "bloody" meeting, Chen Faction once again chose to keep a clear mind.

Thus, three hundred years had passed since the gathering.

The fighting between the several major factions has still not stopped.

The number of Pills refined by Azure Dragon Mountain Range had risen to ninety million every year.

Ye Chan had achieved Celestial King of the Six Tribulations, stepped into the the Sixth Palace, and became a powerful disciple.

Other than Ye Chan, within these three hundred years, there was another disciple who stepped into the the Sixth Palace. His name was Luo Quan, and he was also a genius in alchemy, who came from the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.

From start to finish, he had enjoyed all sorts of benefits from the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. In the tenth year after the Azure Dragon Mountain Range was completed, he had stepped into the fifth tribulation and even treated Meng Fan as his "benefactor".

Therefore, Luo Quan was called the "Azure Dragon Faction" by many people, and was also considered to be in the Chen Faction. Luo Ming was not too sure about the word "Chen Faction", but he straightforwardly admitted to being in the Azure Dragon Faction.

At this time, the Chen Faction already possessed a disciple Celestial King of Seven Turbulences, three Celestial King of the Six Tribulations disciples, and one Six Tribulations Grand Elder. Within three hundred years, the core members of the sect had already reached six hundred, and most of them were the disciples and elders of the Four Tribulations and Five Tribulations.

No matter how intense the sect's battles were, no matter how many ups and downs the Chen Faction had experienced, in these two thousand years, Chen Faction had indeed grown stronger and could not be ignored.
