The Great Wild God - Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Establish A Sect
In the sand sea, a sand wolf fled in a panic. Its scarlet red eyes were no longer bloodthirsty and fierce, and a sword light accompanied by thunder hacked towards it.

The sword light did not hack down a third of the top of the sand wolf’s head, but the sand wolf had already died. With a “bang”, it fell into the sand, raising a cloud of sand and dust.

Chen Xun put away the Thunder Meteorite Sword and secretly fused the Kuilong Heavenly Sound Skill into the sword art. Only then could he be called a true Thunder Sound Sword. At this stage, the Thunder Sound Sword Art could be considered to have reached a small success. The next step was to officially start cultivating the Thunder Sound Sword Formation.

Chen Xun took out a Soul Essence Battle Soul and fused it with the shattered remnant soul of the sand wolf. Then, he threw the corpse of the sand wolf into the sand sea and gathered the flying vultures to peck at it.

At this moment, a beam of fireworks exploded into the sky. Seeing that it was a signal from Lei Wanhe and the others, Chen Xun rushed over to meet them.

It had been half a month since they left Crimson Maple Castle and entered the sand sea. They should be returning to Crimson Maple Castle to rest now.

At this time, nearly a year had passed since the Battle of Devil Execution in Mount Meng. The Giant Snake Heavenly Demon hadn’t emerged from the depths of Mount Tu. In the clouds, the devil creatures within Mount Gushan were almost exterminated by the disciples of the various sects.

Chen Xun and the others didn’t get anything this time. There were only two more Blood Pills in his spatial ring.

When they rushed over to meet Lei Wanhe and the others, a thread of flying sand rose up from the south. More than a dozen black-armored generals were speeding from west to east, and a black roc was circling in the sky.

Seeing this black roc, the two-tailed little firefox jumped onto Chen Xun’s shoulder in fear. A few days ago, the little firefox had almost been swallowed by this black roc in the sand sea. At this moment, when it saw it from afar, it still had lingering fear in its heart.

Lei Wanhe said sarcastically, “Pfft, the Yuanwu Marquis Manor is much more prestigious than our Divine Night Sect right now …”

The Sand Sea was still too far away from the Divine Night Sect. Even though the Divine Night Sect was the leader of the sects in the Northwest Region, there weren’t many disciples left behind in the Wuteng Sand Sea.

During the Battle of Devil Execution, the disciples of the various sects suffered heavy casualties. Especially when the defensive array around Tu Shan was broken, nearly 10,000 disciples died. At that time, there were more than 1000 people in Mansion of Marquis Martial who were also outside of Tu Shan, but they happened to not be in the defensive array and escaped the calamity.

At this time, when the various sects had joined forces to eliminate the remnants of magical creatures in the Wuteng Sand Sea, Mengshan Mountain, and the southern foothills of Gu Xi, the Marquis of Yuan Wu had actually sent more troops than the Divine Night Sect, becoming the largest group.

Along the Mengshan Mountain and the southern foothills of Gushanxi Province, they formed a blockade line. When they were redivided into more than thirty spirit veins and spirit acupoints, the Marquis Yuan’s Manor only occupied three spirit veins near the Qianxiu Peak of the southern Mengshan Mountain Range, which could not be considered to be the most profitable.

However, most of the sects and clans that had previously occupied these spirit veins and spirit acupoints had moved into Yuanwu Prefecture, and nearly 200 Reincarnation Realm cultivators had successively joined the Yuanwu Marquis Manor. On the contrary, the power of the Yuanwu Marquis Manor had increased considerably after the Battle of Devil Execution.

Chen Xun had long since discovered the Heavenly Yao’s whereabouts in the depths of Tu Mountain, but he had never been able to find any more suspicions. This doubt was hidden in his heart and he hadn’t mentioned it to anyone.

****************************

Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others hurried back to Scarlet Maple Castle, and Gu Chengzhuo happened to be also at Scarlet Maple Castle.

After half a year of separation, everyone was very happy to see each other again.

Gu Chengzhuo had specially invited Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others to attend his father’s Gu Wentian’s 400-year-old birthday feast, as well as the Mengshan Sect’s Mountain Opening Ceremony.

Whether it was Gu Wentian’s 400-year-old birthday celebration or the Mount Meng Sect’s Mountain Opening Ceremony, it was a grand event that rarely happened in a hundred years. Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe naturally agreed, and they promised that they would definitely go to Mount Meng to observe the ceremony at that time.

According to the law of the Xi Martial Emperor Dynasty, once one entered the Heaven Origin Realm, one could establish a sect.

Unlike other small sects, sects created by cultivators above the Heaven Origin Realm would not only be officially conferred the title of emperor, but their direct bloodline would also have descendants who were hereditary officials or even secular titles to govern the land.

It had been more than 4,000 years since the Jiang Clan had proclaimed themselves Emperor of Cloud Continent on behalf of the Ji Clan.

Apart from the extremely ferocious land in Yunzhou State, the majority of the spirit veins and spirit acupoints were called sects and clans with inheritances. It was extremely difficult for experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm and even at the Origin Core Realm to establish a sect.

Back then, the Su Clan had no choice but to leave the Tu Mountain West and enter the Azure Water Wilderness to slaughter their way out of a territory.

However, to the west of Mount Tu was not the territory of the Xi Martial Emperor Dynasty. So far, the Su Clan and the Azure Water School had not been officially conferred the title by the Xi Martial Emperor Dynasty.

This time, the demon calamity had cleaned up all the sects and clans in Mengshan and the southern foot of Gushan. Under the pretext that the Divine Night Sect had constructed a blockade line to guard against the monsters in Tushan, they had actually taken out thirty to forty spirit veins and spirit acupoints with Mengshan as the center and redivided them.

As an inner sect elder of the Divine Night Sect, Gu Wentian had made great contributions this time.

This time, the Divine Night Sect supported Gu Wentian in establishing a sect in Mengshan, and allocated the ten spirit veins that had the most abundant spiritual energy to the Mengshan Sect, including Crimson Maple Fort, the northern foothills of Mengxi, and the Middle Ridge.

Apart from that, Gu Wentian would also have several direct descendants and nephews bestowed the titles of nobles to govern several cities within the jurisdiction of the Mengshan Sect.

In the depths of Mount Tu, there were still thousands of Giant Snake Heavenly Yao and thousands of other magical creatures that hadn’t been wiped out. In the future, the blockade line to defend against Mount Tu’s magical creatures would be centered on the Meng Mountain Sect. Who would dare to object to this?

In Lei Wanhe’s words, Chen Xun and he had also made a lot of contributions this time. Apart from directly recording them as inner sect disciples of Gu Yang Peak, there were also quite a few medicinal pills and magical artifacts. However, when it came to the title of Marquis of the Gu Clan and the reward for establishing a sect, it was truly negligible.

Apart from Gu Wentian, Zhou Yang and the others had worked hard in the Divine Night Sect, and they didn’t have the chance to cultivate Yuan Dan. This time, they simply asked the sect to allow them to stay and guard Tu Shan for a long time. In fact, they had obtained one or two spiritual veins to move their clans out and take root here.

No matter what, the clans of the Mengshan Sect, Zhou Yang, and the others were all part of the Divine Night Sect.

Ever since the Jiang Clan became Emperor of Cloud Island on behalf of the Ji Clan, the Divine Night Sect had already used this method to nurture more than a hundred collateral forces in the Northwest Region. Chen Xun was still confused at first. Old talkers like Lei Wanhe had long since become accustomed to it, and the Divine Night Sect was obviously not a vegetarian.

Lei Wanhe’s greatest wish was not to seek dao and longevity, but to be able to obtain a spirit vein like Zhou Yang after advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm, to protect and reproduce his clan, and to become the founding ancestor of a sect.

Even if some outer sect disciples had no chance of advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm, they would most likely join Gu Wentian and Zhou Yang. The status and benefits they would obtain were definitely much better than the Divine Night Sect.

During this period of time, Chen Xun and the others had been busy clearing the remnants of the demons in the sand sea and the mountains. Gu Wentian, Zhou Yang, and the others had been busy setting up sects, emigrating clansmen, and recruiting refugees.

**************************

Half a month later, Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others packed up and rushed to Meng Mountain to participate in the Mountain Opening Ceremony. At the same time, it was also Gu Wentian’s 400-year-old birthday banquet.

The periphery of Mengshan Mountain was still in ruins, but after entering the newly opened mountain gate of Mengshan Sect, the trees were green, the spring was cold, and the clouds were shrouded in a faint spiritual aura. The deer, monkey, and bird geese were running and singing in the forest. Only a year had passed, and there were no traces of a great battle against the demons.

Now that Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe were both inner sect disciples of the Divine Night Sect, they were naturally distinguished guests when they arrived at the Meng Mountain Sect. Driving Zhao Chengen to congratulate them on behalf of the Heavenly Punishment Peak and Zhou Yang.

Gu Chengzhuo had now turned from an inner disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Peak to the young sect master of the Meng Mountain Sect. He had personally come to the mountain gate to pick up Chen Xun, Zhao Chengen, Lei Wanhe, and the others. However, he was still busy with mundane matters, so he turned around and called for them to leave.

Chen Xun sent the congratulatory gift. He and Lei Wanhe were pulled over by Zhou Yang and said,

“Not to mention that there is still a snake demon that hasn’t been killed, even the location of the Thousand Demon Realm crack is still unknown. Although Martial Uncle Gu stayed behind to guard this place, the sect will have to send some disciples to guard this place for a long time. Guancheng Temple is small. If Junior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Lei stay here, the Zhou Clan is willing to serve as guests …”

After Zhou Yang garrisoned the Hundred Lions Ridge Spirit Vein in Guan City, more than a thousand people from the Zhou Clan who were closest to Zhou Yang’s bloodline moved into Guan City in succession over the past year.

The Divine Night Sect acknowledged that Zhou Yang and the Zhou Clan would occupy the Hundred Lions Ridge Irrigation City in the future, but for the sake of good looks, Zhou Yang and the Zhou Clan would not set up a sect directly for the time being.

Gu Wentian established his sect in Meng Mountain, and dozens of Reincarnation Realm disciples immediately joined the Divine Night Sect’s outer sect.

Gu Wen’s dual cultivation companion, Gu Chengzhuo’s biological mother, Su Yao, was also a late Heaven Origin Realm cultivator, so she hoped to cultivate into an Origin Pill. Gu Wentian also had a direct disciple who had advanced to the Heaven Origin Realm, but he was already over two hundred years old. He had no hope of cultivating the Origin Pill and establishing a sect independently. This time, he chose to join Meng Mountain as well.

Apart from these two experts, the Gu Clan had also nurtured a large number of experts over the years. With the support of Daoist Guo, the head of the Divine Night Sect, it was not difficult for the Gu Clan to gain a firm foothold in Mengshan.

Zhou Yang was far from being able to compete with Gu Wentian and the Gu Clan.

Not to mention the direct disciples and elders of the Divine Night Sect, not even the outer sect disciples of the Reincarnation Realm paid attention to Zhou Yang. After all, the environment on the Hundred Lions Ridge was slightly harsh, and it was slightly prominent from the Tu Shandong Ridge.

In the name of inviting guests, Zhou Yang wanted to get a few more foreign reinforcements from the Divine Night Sect.

As a Heaven Origin Realm elder, Zhou Yang usually didn’t put on airs and came from the same bloodline as Gu Yangfeng. Logically, Chen Xun shouldn’t have rejected him.

However, the Hundred Lions Ridge was located at the southern foothills of Gushan Province. It was a spiritual vein that he had seized from the Thousand Sword Sect. Chen Xun didn’t know if the Thousand Sword Sect would want the Hundred Lions Ridge back in the future. How could he dare to agree to Zhou Yang now?

“I still have to ask Daoist Gu and Senior Brother Fang for a period of time off. I’m afraid that there’s no way for Guancheng to rush over to congratulate him. The gift will be handed over to Senior Brother Zhou here.” Chen Xun gave Zhou Yang the expensive gift in his Little Cosmos Pouch, but he changed the topic and didn’t mention the guest.

Lei Wanhe was slightly moved. He knew that Zhou Yang had been the Guyang Peak’s Weaponry Refining Director for nearly a hundred years and was very wealthy, but Chen Xun changed the topic, so he didn’t have the nerve to accept it anymore.

At this moment, Chen Xun heard a commotion outside the courtyard. It was said that Daoist Ji Lie of the Thousand Swords Sect had led his disciples to Meng Shan to observe the ceremony. Chen Xun hurriedly stood up and went out to meet Ji Lie. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the welcoming courtyard, he heard an unfamiliar and familiar voice shouting at him, “Chen Xun, why are you also at Meng Shan?”

Chen Xun turned around and saw that it was Qing Xuan, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, staring at him with a face full of surprise.
