The Great Wild God - Chapter 325
Chapter 325 Expediency
Ce Tianfu had no intention of forcefully attacking Black Yin Ridge. Chen Xun and the other cultivators who had gathered at Zhou Wushan to wait for orders under the Talisman Edict were not allowed to leave casually.
God-controller Mansion did not know whether to attack or defend, but he did not move for the next two months. The Xuandu Sect took advantage of the gathering of experts at the Heavenly Human Realm and the Dharma Aspect Realm to set up the Xuandu Heavenly Gate Formation on the main peak of Zhou Wushan.
As the Xuandu Heavenly Gate Formation, there was even only one Heaven and Earth Formation in the entire Northern Region. Its power was several times stronger than the Soul Suppressing Mountain and River Formation. Moving from Xuandu Mountain to the main peak of Zhou Wu Mountain meant that the Xuandu Sect would have two important mountain gates at the same time from now on.
Spiritual vein resources were always at the forefront of the sect.
It was a common understanding that the purer the Spiritual Qi flowing through the Spiritual Veins, the more beneficial it would be to the disciples’ cultivation.
Chang Xi lived in the Dragon Gate Sect. She borrowed the sacred land of the Lotus Peak of the Dragon Gate Sect to cultivate and cultivate for seven years.
If it was a peak valley with a slightly inferior grade of spirit veins, it would probably take twice as long.
As for Dharma Aspect Realm experts, when cultivating, they swallowed a large amount of pure spiritual energy. Probably, only three or even five meridians converged in a strange spiritual land could satisfy their needs; Heavenly Human Realm experts were even more harsh in their choice of cultivation spiritual lands.
Apart from these, most of the large amounts of medicinal pills required by the disciples of the sect to cultivate were spiritual herbs planted in their own sect and rare birds and spirit beasts raised.
Otherwise, other than some desperate and dangerous places in Yunzhou State, how could there be so many spiritual medicines and herbs to refine pills for ordinary disciples to consume?
The sect used formations to seal off the mountains, and plenty of spiritual energy flowed out from the spiritual veins and acupoints. A medicinal field had been sealed for a hundred years, and the medicinal properties of the herbs were even purer than those of herbs grown in the wild for three to five hundred years.
However, the growth cycle of high-grade spirit medicines was extremely long. Usually, a sect would need to open up hundreds of medicinal fields for a single spirit medicine to ensure a steady supply of the same kind of spirit medicines every year.
There were many types of spiritual herbs and herbs, and the selection of medicinal fields was extremely harsh. Not to mention the range of activities of rare birds and beasts, this meant that if the sect wanted to maintain the supply of spiritual herbs and rare birds and beasts, it would need to occupy a large amount of mountains with abundant spiritual energy.
The Xuandu Sect occupied a mountain gate that stretched for thousands of kilometers. In the future, the sect’s development potential would double, and this was supported by the Ce Tian Manor.
Even though the Ce Tian Manor did not wish for the Xuan Du Sect to increase its influence by multiple folds, it naturally had to give the benefits of expecting the Xuan Du Sect to exert great effort to keep an eye on the demons who had retreated to the Black Yin Ridge in the north.
The Xuandu Heavenly Gate Formation was set up at the main peak of the Central Foothills, and the Xuandu Sect mobilized a large number of secular disciples from the Northern Region to enter Zhou Wushan to open up stone path caves and build pavilions. At this time, everyone knew that God-controller Mansion’s next strategy was to rely on the Xuandu Sect to defend Zhou Wushan’s frontline, not to forcefully attack Darkness Ridge …
As a result, apart from the disciples of the various sects of the Northern Region following the orders of the Xuandu Sect, as well as the military forces directly under God-controller Mansion, they would continue to defend Zhou Wushan and set up more magic formations on both wings to seal off the passage for magical creatures to head south, the reinforcements of the other regions would withdraw one after another.
For more than two months, Chen Xun, Chang Xi, and the others stayed in the valley at the western foot of Zhou Wu.
Having nothing to do, Chen Xun continuously refined the fifteen little demons’ primordial souls into Soul Essence Battle Souls.
If Chen Xun wanted the abilities of the Yin Yang Yuan and Xuan Yuan Saint Physiques to devour the demonic dao secrets contained in the Heavenly Yao level Demon General’s True Body Form, he would need to absorb his primordial spirit into his spiritual sea to refine it, and he would first have to withstand the attacks of the Demon General’s Primordial Spirit True Body Form.
Chen Xun was a Profound Origin Saint Physique. Ordinary Soul level attacks were simply unable to tear apart the hidden veins between his hundred bones. However, the divine abilities that his True Body Form possessed were similar to the lightning snakes and lightning that Old Kui’s Primordial Spirit could display. They could directly attack his soul and his hundred bones.
Chen Xun felt that it would be safer for him to cultivate the Origin Pill first and refine the Heavenly Yao level Demon General’s Origin Spirit after his Origin Spirit cultivation had improved.
*********************
Chen Xun copied two copies of the refining method of the Profound Thunder Chariot, one for Daoist Chu Yue and one for Luo Yuze.
Chen Xun felt that he should start cultivating Origin Pills right now, and Zuo Qingmu also needed to cultivate spirit essence in seclusion. In a short period of time, no one could deduce a new spirit gathering restriction for the Dragon Gate Sect.
Chen Xun similarly copied a copy of the refining method of the Profound Thunder Chariot and gave it to the Dragon Gate Sect, which could also be considered as returning the favor that the Dragon Gate Sect had previously shown.
The night before Chen Xun, Zhao Chengen, and Gu Chengzhuo left Zhou Wushan, True Monarch Tao Jinghong sent Luo Yuze over and called them over to speak.
“The Heavenly Policy Manor will do its utmost to help True Monarch Crimson Brow recover his cultivation,” Tao Jinghong said in his temporary cave. There was no need to talk around Chen Xun, Zhao Cheng’en, and the rest of the younger generation. “Although the four sects are guarding the entrance of the Devil Ruins, there is no need to worry about how many more demons will be able to enter the Devil Realm from the Thousand Devil Realm for the time being. However, the demons who retreat to the Black Yin Ridge may pass through the wasteland west of Zhou Shanwu and enter the Tu Shan Northern Ridge at any time-the Northwest Region still lacks a Heaven Origin Realm expert to guard them.”
Chen Xun looked at Zhao Cheng’en, Gu Cheng Zhuo, the arrangement of Ce Tian Manor had its reasons.
Although there were more than a dozen Heavenly Mortal Realm experts in Yunzhou State, none of them weren’t the core figures of the sect. It was hard to say if there were any extra people who could take charge of the Northwest Region.
Besides, Celestial Realm experts were all standing high above all living beings. They were existences like gods. Who would be willing to risk their lives to take over this bitter task in the Northwest Domain?
The best choice for the Heavenly Policy Manor was to help True Monarch Crimson Brow recover his Heavenly Human Realm cultivation in the shortest time possible.
Chen Xun frowned slightly and asked Tao Jinghong, “Wasn’t the Ce Tian Manor so generous in the past?”
“True Monarch Crimson Brow will join the Heavenly Policy Palace. Once he recovers his cultivation, he will become one of the five True Monarchs of the Heavenly Policy Palace! The Heavenly Policy Palace plans to rebuild the Governor’s Mansion of the Northwest Region in Mount Gushan. At that time, True Monarch Crimson Brow will represent the Heavenly Policy Palace to guard the Northwest Region!” Tao Jinghong said, “The Divine Night Sect will cease to exist, and Gu Yangzi will open the Gu Yang Sect in Meng Mountain …”
Chen Xun looked at Zhao Cheng’en and Gu Cheng Zhuo, and he could tell that their eyes were filled with gloom.
They were all disciples from the Divine Night Sect. Who would have thought that the Divine Night Sect would cease to exist even nominally from now on?
The Ce Tian Prefecture had joined the Ce Tian Wei from the Origin Selection Core warriors of the various sects, and there were very few of them. In the past, Jiang Mingtai and the other four True Monarchs of the Celestial Realm were the leaders of the Ce Tian Prefecture, and they had very little to do with the sect, so they only served the Imperial Clan.
Chen Xun didn’t expect True Monarch Crimson Brow to actually serve Jiang Mingtai and the Jiang Imperial Clan in exchange for the opportunity for the Ce Tianfu to fully support him in restoring his cultivation.
Perhaps the Ce Tian Prefecture was trying to limit the excessive expansion of the Xuandu Sect, but this was definitely not good news for the four sects and the Azure Water Marquis Prefecture.
“Chen Xun, you can go to the Dragon Gate Sect to cultivate. With your talent, you and Chang Xi are likely to enter the Dharma Aspect Realm …”
Tao Jinghong was kind to the junior disciples, and Luo Yuze also dared to express his opinions in front of Tao Jinghong.
He thought that if the four sects had four to six Dharma Reality Realm experts in the future, they might not be afraid of Lord Crimson Brow’s suppression in the Northwest Domain. At this moment, Chen Xun could be said to be the only artifact forging grandmaster left in the Northwest Domain. If he could stay in Dragon Gate Sect for a hundred years, it would be of great benefit to Dragon Gate Sect.
“Chen Xun’s cultivation is not within the sect.” Tao Jinghong smiled faintly. Although he had mentioned inviting Chen Xun to stay in the Dragon Gate Sect to cultivate, he had taken the initiative to block Luo Yuze’s sudden invitation for Chen Xun.
Luo Yuze smiled awkwardly. Song Xuanyi, Zhao Weichu, and the others had strange expressions on their faces. They couldn’t figure out what their ancestor, True Monarch, meant. Could it be that they were complaining that Chen Xun had refused to stay in the Dragon Gate Sect?
Chen Xun bowed to Tao Jinghong and left with Zhao Chengen and the others.
Chang Xi still had to follow Tao Jinghong back to Dragon Gate Sect to cultivate, and Chen Xun would not stay long after returning to Mountain Parasol, so he decided to leave at Zhou Wushan.
**************************
The casualties that Canglan suffered this time were mainly concentrated on the four sects’ disciples and Man Wu. However, at a time when Yunzhong, Yuanwu, Gushan, and other prefectures were almost completely eroded, the tens of millions of Wildlands clansmen of Canglan did not suffer any losses. It was truly the foundation of the four sects and the Canglan Marquis’ Mansion that did not suffer any losses.
It had already been three months since Chen Xun and the others had returned to Heavenly Pillar Peak. The reinforcements of God-controller Mansion and the other sects had already withdrawn from the northern ridge of Mount Tu.
Previously, the main forces of the demon race had gathered at the entrance of the Devil Ruins to the south of the four sects’ defensive lines. At this moment, the demons were traveling tens of thousands of kilometers away, retreating to Darkness Ridge in the Northern Desolate Domain. If they counterattacked the entrance to the Demon Ruins, they would attack from the northern foothills of Mount Tu, or even from the icy plains north of the Xi Ridge.
This meant that the four sects had to rearrange their defenses on the northern line. After discussing for many days, they finally decided that Gu Wentian would lead the Meng Mountain Sect and move to Xi Ling to rebuild the mountain gate.
At this moment, the once arrogant Mount Yi Sect was involved in colluding with magical creatures. When Chen Xun and Crimson Pine re-painted the mountain, the Mount Yi Sect’s Elder, Yi Qingquan, had disappeared.
Afterwards, the Yishan Sect collapsed. Although Yiqinghu and the others had not colluded with the demons, they were afraid that Chen Xun and the others would settle the matter. They had also fled to the depths of the Western Desolate Desolate Domain and had not heard anything for nearly ten years.
At this time, the northern ridge of Tushan Mountain and the mountains and rivers ten thousand kilometers west of the northern ridge of Tushan Mountain could be said to be the spheres of influence of the four sects.
The four sects and the Marquis of Azure Water Manor invited the ruined cultivators from the Northwest Region and the cultivators from the other regions to enter Azure Water Manor to replenish the defensive power of the hinterland.
The northern ridge of Mount Tu, the Azure Water Wilderness to the south of Mount Wu, the lake wasteland to the north, the two wings of the Xi Ridge, and the two wings of the Yi Mountain were extremely rich in spiritual vein resources, but there were too few cultivators.
Only Tianzhu Peak, the middle foothills of the Xi Mountains, the eastern foothills of the Wu Mountains, and Yanxia Mountains were designated as sect boundaries by the four sects. They also chose more than a hundred spirit veins as city building grounds or as garrison strongholds for the Azure Water Army. Apart from that, Cang Lan also had four to five hundred spiritual veins and acupoints for small and medium-sized sects, clans, and rogue cultivators.
Only the small and medium-sized sects, clans, and rogue cultivators who request to move into these areas must accept the control of the Azure Water Marquis Manor, and they must send their disciples to the Azure Water Army proportionally …
During the battle in the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, the reputation of the four sects could be said to have reached its peak in the Northwest Region. Three months later, Chen Xun returned from Zhou Wushan. Almost a hundred small sects and clans had already moved into Canglan from the damaged Yuanwu, Yunzhong, Gushan, and other counties. Hundreds of thousands of refugees followed these sects and clans to settle in the sparsely populated Azure Water Valley.
