I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 2048 - 978: Three Great Battlefields (Part 2)
Chapter 2048: Chapter 978: Three Great Battlefields (Part 2)
These are the hidden demons.
Among them is surprisingly a Golden Core Realm devil cultivator, but under the suppression of the large formation, the devil cultivator, even after mastering a powerful magic treasure, still suffers a complete destruction of the soul.
The remaining demons, although they swiftly broke into small groups to break through, were still mostly exterminated by the Five Elements Sect army.
Yet, contrary to Chen Mobai’s expectations, outside the range of the two formations, there were hidden expert demons.
They led thousands of demons to respond to this group, but Chen Mobai assisted remotely, allowing Liu Wenbo and Yin Qingmei to slay another Rank-3 demon tribe member.
After this battle, the infiltrating demons completely stopped opposing directly.
They began to hide even deeper.
They even no longer sought out the spiritual vein land, only targeting the commoners.
Whether demon tribe or devil cultivator, they can enhance their power through blood food, and humans are the most delicious blood food.
Chen Mobai naturally couldn’t tolerate this.
However, East Wu is, after all, not the Eastern Wilderness, and has not yet set up the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation.
Moreover, the current two formations only cover a very small portion of East Wu’s territory, primarily for defense, and can detect a large-scale congregation of spiritual power within the formation range, but cannot identify single individuals.
In response, Chen Mobai issued an order, also instructing the cultivator army of the Five Elements Sect to split into small units, while notifying the people in the East Wu alliance to inform the commoners, letting all commoners gather together to avoid being alone outside and eaten by demons.
The East Wu alliance was very surprised by Chen Mobai’s order.
In their view, the Five Elements Sect’s intervention was mainly to protect their various families’ stay-behind personnel in East Wu, so why was the scope expanded to the commoners now.
It seems they don’t want demons to enhance their power by devouring commoners.
Some people thought this way, but others thought of the Eastern Wilderness, after unifying through the peaceful era, believing that Yi Yuan Taoist Child must be truly kind-hearted, wanting to protect the commoners from the heart.
After realizing this point, East Wu’s perception of Chen Mobai improved even further.
Treating commoners so well, if they were to join him, the treatment would surely be better.
Before this war began, the cultivators of East Wu had already realized how weak their power was, that they must rely on a major force to survive in the coming chaotic East Continent.
Over the years, the Five Elements Sect, with its strong power that can easily conquer East Wu, has always adhered to Dao and virtue, making them feel it’s a wise master worth entrusting.
Many families had decided to pledge allegiance even before the war started. Dozens of letters of allegiance had already been sent to Chen Mobai, but after reading them, he hadn’t replied.
This move made East Wu’s various families suspect they might have done something not to Chen Mobai’s satisfaction.
Therefore, facing the wild sea demons this time, many families worked very hard, aiming to leave a good impression on the Five Elements Sect.
After all, East Wu will be the domain of the Five Elements Sect in the future, and working hard now could justify Chen Mobai rewarding them more.
Perhaps the Five Elements Sect’s secret Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine might even open to them.
With this thought, although Chen Mobai’s order to protect the commoners seemed outrageous to the cultivators of East Wu, they still complied.
Soon, East Wu’s common rulers ordered all areas to gather all commoners at the spirit veins where the major cultivator families are located, building new cities.
If it was before, these cultivator families definitely wouldn’t want commoners polluting their spirit veins.
But now it’s different, they fervently wish to gather all of East Wu’s commoners at their own sect gates.
This way, when the war ends, they can claim they valued Chen Mobai’s words the most.
However, East Wu’s cultivator families, one must count one, have no experience in managing large numbers of commoners.
Instead, the more congregated the number, the more chaotic it became, even escalating into numerous incidents of vagrant disturbances.
Because cultivators only give orders for commoners to come, regarding the difficulties of coming over, water and food, crossing mountains and ridges, they basically don’t consider.
Due to this reason, even more people died.
When Chen Mobai discovered this, he immediately stripped some East Wu families of their power over the commons, sending Jiang Zongheng to take full control.
Jiang Zongheng was quite adept at this.
Under Chen Mobai’s micro-management, Jiang Zongheng examined East Wu’s entire map, dividing twelve counties based on natural mountains and rivers.
Then Jiang Zongheng selected eight hundred disciples who graduated from the Longevity Academy and entered the Five Elements Sect this time. Compared to other academies, which only teach the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, due to his insistence, the Longevity Academy also has governance courses.
Therefore, these disciples all understood basic governance principles.
Jiang Zongheng led these eight hundred disciples to various places in East Wu where commoners gathered, dispelling prejudices, promoting Five Elements Sect Dao Law, and coupled with the cultivators’ powerful abilities, it quickly achieved instant results.
With the chaos of the times, the hidden demons also began to rampage openly, forcing the commoners to choose the Five Elements side.
During this process of commoners migrating and gathering, the battle between righteous and demonic forces also began to intensify, with both sides suffering casualties.
With the wild sea demons sending more and more forces, the pressure on the frontal battlefield steadily decreased.
Chen Mobai, self-assured in his power, invincible below Divinity Transformation, simply sent two more battalions of cultivators to suppress the demons throughout East Wu.
Time quickly passed by three years.
War had erupted across the East Continent.
At the Eastern Land border, Ye Qing, who had recovered from injuries, returned to the battlefield, relying on the Rank-5 Floating Cloud Sword, that no one from the demon path could stop.
Wind-Riding Demon Sect’s Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Elder, in a head-on confrontation with Ye Qing, blocked the Floating Cloud Sword, but died under Ye Qing’s second Tai Peacekeeping Sword.
Seeing Ye Qing begin a massacre, the Corpse Disassembling Devil Sect conjured up a Seven-Colored Jade Corpse, along with a sneak attack from the three Great Elders of Mystery, Huang Bai, and Duan Liu sects, almost managing to ambush Ye Qing.
However, the righteous path side had more manpower.
As these hidden old demonic masters of the demon path emerged one by one, Nascent Soul cultivators from various factions in the Eastern Land also personally joined the battle.
Thus, the battle between righteous and demonic forces completely exploded.
With the demon path gaining strength, the demon tribe felt that the time was ripe as well.
A black jade flood dragon from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, in a stormy night, galloped with wind and rain to the skies over Golden Crow Immortal City.
If it weren’t for the Seven Great Nascent Souls joining forces, coupled with the excellent formation of Golden Crow Immortal City, the Eastern Barbarians would likely have fallen.
However, when the black jade flood dragon struck a second time, a Divinity Transformation from the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, who had been watching, finally entered the battlefield.
Both sides fought over the wild sea for three days and nights, evenly matched.
But when the black jade flood dragon came a third time, deep within the ruins adjoining the Eastern Barbarians, a golden flame surged with a giant beast charging out, raging over ten thousand miles.
Among the sixteen Gold Core major sects of the Eastern Barbarians, three stood in the path of this golden flame giant beast, thus becoming history.
Evidently, this was the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore deep within the ruins.
Where the Golden Flame Manticore passed, none could stand in its way, it quickly reached the Golden Crow Immortal City.
However, the strongest feature of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace was the teleportation array.
Faced with this situation, Da Kong True Monarch fought one against two, holding on until another Divinity Transformation from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace was teleported from the Southern State.
Two Rank-5 demonic beasts and the two Divinity Transformations from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace engaged in a stalemate at Golden Crow Immortal City for a whole year, before apparently reaching some agreement and retreating.
Nonetheless, the siege by the Mysterious Sea Monster Race on Golden Crow Immortal City did not cease.
In comparison, among the three major battlefields of the East Continent, it was at East Wu where there was no Divinity Transformation.
