Taking Over the South Sea

The old man stood there in a daze.

So did all his companions.

Taking over the whole place...

How should one put this? It was actually a possible and normal development. Qin Yi had previously judged that as long as a single Qian Yuan Level sect entered the fray, the situation would not remain so chaotic.

The products here, whether Clam Pearls or the flesh, blood, sinews, and bones of other demons, were all treasures with practical uses. Treasures were not a general equivalent; there was no such thing as becoming less valuable because things were abundant. No one ever complained about having too many.

Though these demons had only recently transformed and were not of a high level, Huiyang cultivators might not need them personally, but they could give them to disciples, stockpile them for the sect, or trade them for other purposes. They could even nourish an entire faction or organization. That was why these Huiyang and Tengyun cultivators were fighting so desperately.

Yet such gains were truly rather meager to a Qian Yuan Level sect. A sect like the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace might once have seemed unimpressive with only one Qian Yuan cultivator, but it had its own secret realm, where who knew how many demon beasts and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were being raised for harvest. How could it possibly think much of demons who had only just transformed?

After annexing Great Joy Temple, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace had become even wealthier, and its development had accelerated considerably. Other great sects were much the same; none of them were poor.

Thus, despite the South Sea having been in turmoil for so long, no great Qian Yuan Level sect had even spared it a glance. It simply was not worth their effort.
