While Jiang Ding was undergoing his tribulation, the Immortal Sect had already defeated the Ancient God Alliance's combined forces and won the Realm War!
"However..."
"Really, I truly don't want to say 'however'..."
True Venerable Wanji said helplessly, "Those bastards are such cowardly rats, sly as ghosts. They quickly discovered another weakness of the Immortal Sect Fleet: it cannot be dispersed on a large scale."
"Once they noticed that, they completely avoided the frontal battlefield."
"They began employing a combat plan of having individual powerful experts launch attacks in all directions. One Void Refinement cultivator would lead a certain number of Deity Transformation Cultivators to attack Immortal Sect territory everywhere, slaughter the Immortal Sect's grassroots institutions, or sweep away all Immortal Sect forces stationed in Minor Worlds."
"From time to time, even Dao Integration Divine Lords joined these piecemeal guerrilla battles."
"The Immortal Sect once tried attacking the Weaving Sky Spider Clan's ancestral territory, striking where they had to come to the rescue, but it was useless. They simply refused decisive battle and watched us destroy their homeland. They had transferred their clansmen away a step ahead of time, leaving the Immortal Sect Fleet to pounce on empty air."
"While the Immortal Sect was away, numerous Dao Integration Divine Lords joined forces in a surprise attack and breached several of the Immortal Sect's Middle Thousand Worlds. We only reclaimed them recently."
"This kind of guerrilla warfare everywhere truly suited individual Immortal Path powerhouses."
"If nothing changes, the Immortal Sect can only continue building formations across the various Middle Thousand Worlds, continuously expand the Citizen Fleet, and station a Field Army's fleet in every crucial Middle Thousand World. Grinding away bit by bit, over tens of thousands of years, we should have some chance of occupying the entire Ancient God Domain."
