The Nine Yang Sect was quick to dispatch their strong practitioners to visit Qingyou Valley and specially granted an exceedingly vast tract of land for it.

Within this territory, there existed many Divinity Transformation Powers, but due to the Nine Yang Sect's grant, they were required to make tributes to Qingyou Valley.

Of course.

The grant from the Nine Yang Sect was not without its constraints.

After accepting the grant from the Nine Yang Sect, Qingyou Valley also needed to offer tributes to a higher authority.

These tributes would naturally end up in the pockets of the Nine Yang Sect.

It could be said that, with just a casual remark, the Nine Yang Sect had brought Qingyou Valley under its control.

However, neither He Song's followers within Qingyou Valley nor He Song himself objected to this.

In fact, there was even some joy.

Previously, Qingyou Valley, though situated within the area of influence of the Nine Yang Sect, was not under its direct control.

At that time, Qingyou Valley had to pay tributes without having any official status, essentially being an outsider paying protection fees.

Even as an outsider paying protection fees, the Nine Yang Sect would provide some protection.

But if something serious occurred, the most the Nine Yang Sect would do was seek revenge for them.

This was only to prevent other tributes-paying outsiders from believing they would be abandoned.

As for rescuing them in times of crisis.

That was unthinkable.

However, with Qingyou Valley now under the Nine Yang Sect's jurisdiction.

The amount of resources Qingyou Valley needed to tribute would decrease, and it was granted a vast land.

Within this land, Qingyou Valley became the undisputed ruler, able to deal with the various small powers under its influence as it pleased.

Moreover, if Qingyou Valley were invaded by external enemies, it could seek aid from the Nine Yang Sect at any time.

The Nine Yang Sect would immediately dispatch strong practitioners, directly teleporting to the Qingyou Valley Sect Gate for protection.

It could be said.

Qingyou Valley has now been recognized by the Nine Yang Sect.

Its status has been acknowledged by a Mahayana Holy Land, successfully becoming part of the Nine Yang Sect's domain.

This change in status has significantly enhanced the security of Qingyou Valley.

Previously, He Song was worried that Qingyou Valley would attract attention due to its wealth.

Now, He Song no longer needs to worry about that.

As a subordinate power beneath the Mahayana Holy Land of the Nine Yang Sect.

Qingyou Valley has firmly established its footing in the Canghai Realm.

Under such circumstances.

With Qingyou Valley being integrated into the Nine Yang Sect, and having more benefits than drawbacks.

He Song and his followers naturally harbored no other thoughts about this matter.

As Qingyou Valley was truly incorporated into the Nine Yang Sect.

The strongest among Qingyou Valley also became He Song's Refining Void Puppets.

He Song quickly gained more understanding of the Canghai Realm and the various entities under the Nine Yang Sect through the perspectives of these puppets.

Above the vast region granted by the Nine Yang Sect to Qingyou Valley, there was an Integration Power present.

This power was known as the Liuyun Sect.

Inside, there were several powerful Unity Realm cultivators stationed.

Even within the Nine Yang Sect's area of influence, it was a formidable, terrifying power.

Although it didn't have any peak Mahayana Realm experts, the several Unity Realm cultivators were enough to dominate an area.

Currently, the sect that Qingyou Valley needed to tribute to was this Liuyun Sect.

Fortunately.

According to He Song's understanding.

Though the Liuyun Sect was strong, it wasn't stringent towards its subordinate powers.

As long as the subordinate powers made timely tributes, Liuyun Sect was unlikely to meddle in their internal affairs.

This was indeed good news for He Song.

Of course, even if Liuyun Sect intended to trouble Qingyou Valley, Qingyou Valley was not devoid of means to resist.

Relying on the Nine Yang Sect's grant and Qingyou Valley's origin from the Sky Blue Realm, while the Nine Yang Sect may not outright side with Qingyou Valley, it certainly wouldn't stand by as Liuyun Sect destroyed it.

This didn't align with the Nine Yang Sect's interests.

However, this might result in some troubles.

Thus, after realizing that Liuyun Sect wouldn't overly interfere with its subordinate forces, He Song felt reassured.

However.

With Qingyou Valley just being granted land.

It was naturally necessary to pay respects to Liuyun Sect and engage in some interactions with the neighboring Refining Void Sects.

Only then could it establish itself in the area in the future.

Therefore, He Song quickly dispatched one of the Refining Void Puppets, loaded with abundant resources and treasures, to carry out this task.

For this matter, He Song had only one requirement.

Which was to maintain good relations with Liuyun Sect and the neighboring Refining Void Sects as much as possible without affecting his own stance.

Not expecting them to assist without hesitation when Qingyou Valley faces a crisis.

But ensuring these sects do not stab in the back.

This task.

For Qingyou Valley, which had just been granted by the Nine Yang Sect, was relatively simple.

After all, the place of Qingyou Valley's birth warranted the Nine Yang Sect's attention.

With this done.

As Qingyou Valley made its appearance in front of Liuyun Sect and the surrounding Refining Void Sects.
