Graduation

The North Abyss Immortal City was being built in full swing according to Chen Mobai's plan.

Meanwhile, Nan Xuanjing led his disciples to begin building Branch Sect Courtyard of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace here.

He had already asked the Great Elder before coming, so he personally carved the three characters "Nan Xuan Sect" on the large stone at the entrance.

Nan Xuanjing also had his own reasons for coming to the Eastern Wasteland.

Among the nine Core Formation Cultivator of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, he was in the Core Formation Middle Stage, already three hundred years old, ranking in the middle.

If this trend continues, he will have no hope of Nascent Formation in his lifetime.

Xuanxiao Dao Palace is Great Sect has produced several generations of Nascent Soul cultivators. Naturally, it has its own unique insights into Nascent Soul Nascent Formation. The most crucial point is to Core Formation Perfected before the age of three hundred, as this maximizes the chances of Nascent Formation.

According to this rule, Nan Xuanjing no longer has the qualification to obtain Nascent Formation Spiritual Objects within the Dao Palace.

But he was unwilling to live out his life in mediocrity until his death.

Therefore, heeding Zhao Xuankang's advice, he volunteered to come to this Eastern Wasteland land in the east to establish Branch Sect Courtyard.

If he could rely on the Xuanxiao Dao Palace to gather all the resources of the entire Eastern Wasteland, he felt that he might still have a chance to break through to the Nascent Formation in his lifetime.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as he and Zhao Xuankang expected.

Their original intention was to use the war between the Mountain Shaking Peak and the Divine Wood Sect to provoke the entire Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Sects into involvement, ideally turning it into a confrontation between Grand Array. They would then support the weaker Mountain Shaking Peak from behind, maintaining the balance of power between the two camps, thereby continuously bleeding the Eastern Wasteland.

When the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Sects are exhausted from their battles, they will personally intervene from behind the scenes. If they have the strength to take over the entire Eastern Wasteland, they will take action directly. If they cannot take it over, they will destroy the Divine Wood Sect first to prevent Zhou Shengqing from reaching the Nascent Formation.

Unfortunately, their policy of continuous bleeding of blood failed right from the start, thwarted by the Divine Wood Sect's lightning tactics.

Where exactly did the accident happen?

After returning, Zhao Xuankang Nan Xuanjing analyzed the entire war and finally found the key.

That was on the frontal battlefield between the Lei Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. Xuanxiao and Xuan Jinzhi, whom they thought could definitely overpower Divine Wood Sect, had their heads chopped off by Chen Guixian of the Divine Wood Sect with Two Swords.

Since then, the Divine Wood Sect has gained the upper hand and has even been able to send extra troops into the Yan Kingdom to stir up trouble.

With the backyard on fire and Ji Zhenshi blocked at the door by Zhou Shengqing and his two companions, Ji Dingjin, as the main general on the front line, had no choice but to fight desperately, hoping to take Chen Guixian away with his own life.

But the result was a complete failure.

Not only was Ji Dingjin killed, but the army of cultivators from the Yan Kingdom Xiao Kingdom that had gathered was also completely defeated by the Divine Wood Sect and scattered and fled.

After that, the Divine Wood Sect army pursued them for thousands of miles. Although there were still some spirited cultivators on the Mountain Shaking Peak who wanted to hold the market town protected by the Grand Array and delay the enemy's advance.

But they were all like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and in the end, they all became corpses and ruins.

One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane with each attempt, and exhaust it completely with each subsequent one.

After the three defensive attempts organized at the Mountain Shaking Peak were all defeated by the Divine Wood Sect army led by Chen Guixian, the situation completely collapsed. The spineless Cultivating Family within the Yan Kingdom began to defect and surrender the city.

Thus, the three-hundred-year rule of the two countries over the Mountain Shaking Peak collapsed.

The outcome was already decided when the Divine Wood Sect army besieged the headquarters at the top of Mountain Shaking Peak.

If the other major sects in the Eastern Wasteland don't attack the Divine Wood Sect's headquarters to relieve the siege of Wei, then the two of them alone will not be able to reverse this defeat.

It is obvious that the Core Formation Cultivator of the other major sects in the Eastern Wasteland are cowards who do not understand the principle of "Lips Gone Teeth Cold," and actually watched as the Divine Wood Sect annexed the Mountain Shaking Peak.

When Zhao Xuankang received the news, all he could do was sigh.

However, the plan to annex the Eastern Wasteland and turn it into the backyard of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace still needs to continue.

Therefore, he Nan Xuanjing quickly came over to exert pressure, using the contract that Ji Zhenshi had signed in advance, as well as the names of the Great Elder and Xuanxiao Dao Palace, to snatch the three most precious mineral veins on the Mountain Shaking Peak, thus inserting the Nan Xuan Sect into the Eastern Wasteland region.

Next, we'll see what they can do.

Let's see if we can form an alliance with the enemies of the Divine Wood Sect to stir up trouble again. If possible, we can completely take over the Eastern Wasteland without relying on the power of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace headquarters.

Nan Xuanjing and Zhao Xuankang were quite confident about this.

Because Six Armor Mountain is their natural ally, their relationship is even closer than that of Mountain Shaking Peak.

The territory of the Blowing Snow Palace is located between their Nan Xuan Sect and the Divine Wood Sect. With just a little pressure, given the reputation of their Xuanxiao Dao Palace, they could probably win it over.

As for the remaining Five Elements Sect, they also have a blood feud with the Divine Wood Sect. If it were just about destroying the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Light Cliff, Zhou Ye would probably be quite happy to do so.

Zhao Xuankang has already taken care of this matter.

What Nan Xuanjing needs to do is to establish the Nan Xuan Sect in this Yan Kingdom and use his great talent and strategy to continuously squeeze the Divine Wood Sect's living space here until it is completely driven out.

Nan Xuanjing was full of confidence in this regard.

Because he was not only leading his three hundred disciples, but also the Jiao Family and other Cultivating Family who fled from the Yan Kingdom to Eastern Yi after the destruction of the Mountain Shaking Peak.

These families were originally the second largest families in the Yan Kingdom after the Ji Family. When they joined forces, they controlled almost half of the market's mineral trade.

Although the Divine Wood Sect conquered the Mountain Shaking Peak, causing a major reshuffling of the Cultivation World world in the Yan Kingdom, Nan Xuanjing knew best the character of those Rogue Cultivator.

As long as they are given enough Spirit Stone and resources, they will return to the markets controlled by the Jiao Family and other clans, just like dogs.

After reconsidering the plan to drive away the Divine Wood Sect, Nan Xuanjing, feeling very confident, summoned the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Jiao Family He Family Qu Family, and Qu families and ordered them to act according to the circumstances to rebuild the market that had been reduced to ruins.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the three major families were all holding their breath, wanting to use the power of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace to complete their revenge against the Divine Wood Sect.

He immediately obeyed orders and led the family's elite troops, who had returned, to their hometown.

Their family originally lived in Third Grade Spirit Vein area.

Among them, the Jiao Family is in the most awkward position, because their family's Third Grade Spirit Vein land is Bao Se Mountain here, but it has already been occupied by the Nan Xuan Sect.

Nan Xuanjing did propose that the Jiao Family be incorporated into the Nan Xuan Sect, as he was worried about not having enough disciples in his lineage.

After some consideration, the Jiao Family patriarch selected twenty juniors from the family to join the Nan Xuan Sect, but he himself took the rest of the family to another Branch Courtyard of the Ling Mountain.

Although it was only Second Grade high-grade Spirit Vein, it was sufficient for Qi Cultivation Cultivator.

As for Jiao Deyun, the patriarch of the Jiao Family, he was over two hundred years old and his lifespan was running out. He no longer had the mind to improve his cultivation.

He only wanted to support his family peacefully and steadily through the remaining years, and at least not let the Jiao Family be destroyed in his hands.

Of course, if he could take revenge on the Divine Wood Sect, the culprit that had brought his family to this state, he would be willing to risk his life.

After bidding farewell to Nan Xuanjing, Jiao Deyun led the remaining hundred or so members of his family who had survived the brutal war to Red Shadow Mountain, where the Branch Courtyard was located.

When he flew over, he was surprised to see a group of more than a dozen Jiexiu cultivators attacking the Grand Array of Red Shadow Mountain.

The family cultivators who remained here were several white-haired Jiao Family Qi Cultivation Cultivator from the Jiao family. They were all nearing the end of their lifespans and chose to stay because they did not want to leave their homeland after the Divine Wood Sect's army invaded Yan Kingdom.

Unfortunately, after losing the Jiao Family's name, this Second Grade spiritual mountain became a treasure in the eyes of Rogue Cultivator and tribulation cultivators.

If Jiao Deyun had returned a few days later, Red Shadow Mountain would probably have already been breached and looted by the bandit cultivators.

"How dare you!"

After a furious shout, Jiao Deyun took out a crimson spear, displaying his powerful strength as Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and shot the leader of the Tribulation Cultivator who was besieging Red Shadow Mountain dead on the spot.

Upon witnessing this scene, the cultivators scattered in an instant.

However, the elite cultivators of the Jiao Family who followed Jiao Deyun came down from the airship and, with their numerical advantage, surrounded the group of cultivators. Their faces were cruel, and they wanted to drive them step by step into a desperate situation.

"Ancestor, I never thought I would be able to see you again in my lifetime."

At this moment, the Array Formation in Red Shadow Mountain opened, and an old man at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, who was left behind by the Jiao Family, came out. When he saw Jiao Deyun, he burst into tears and wept uncontrollably.

He had already resigned himself to death, but who knew that in a short moment, things would take a dramatic turn for the better.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright. Now that we're back, we will definitely take back everything that once belonged to us from the Divine Wood Sect."

Jiao Deyun tried to comfort his crying grandson, but his hatred for the Divine Wood Sect surged up again.

At this moment, with a final scream, all the cultivators who had besieged Red Shadow Mountain had died at the hands of the Jiao Family cultivators.

On a hilltop not far away, three people stood in the shadow of a large tree. The leader held a Talisman that could conceal their presence. They had witnessed the entire scene.

"It's confirmed without a doubt that the Jiao Family has colluded with Nan Xuanjing."

These three were Zhou Wangshen, Yu Lian, Liang Lingzhen.

"Should we find a way to get rid of it?"

Liang Lingzhen asked a question, and the three of them took Zhou Wangshen as their leader.

"The Array Formation of Red Shadow Mountain is quite powerful. If the three of us attack, it will be enough for Jiao Deyun hold out until the reinforcements from the Nan Xuan Sect arrive. Then we can go and investigate the He Family and the Qu Family."

Zhou Wangshen his head.

"He will leave Red Shadow Mountain someday, and I think we can ambush him on the way."

Just then, Yu Lian suddenly spoke up.

"In that case, the timeline is too uncertain. The construction of North Abyss Immortal City is the top priority right now. Moreover, Junior Brother Chen also said that we should try not to do anything that could cause conflict with the Nan Xuan Sect."

"Then I'll stay. Jiao Deyun clearly harbors resentment towards our Divine Wood Sect. It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Yu Lian's words, Zhou Wangshen and Liang Lingzhen glance.

He thought to himself that this junior brother was extremely bloodthirsty.

"Although Jiao Deyun is old, he is still a cultivator at the peak of the mid -Foundation Establishment. It would be safer for the three of us to act together. Then I would like to trouble you to stay and keep an eye on him. Please let us know when you find an opportunity."

Zhou Wangshen thought of Yu Lian's situation when he obtained the Foundation Establishment, and roughly understood his state of mind. He nodded slightly, and finally added a sentence to avoid putting Yu Lian at risk.

"Don't force yourself. You and I still have plenty of time to cultivate. It's not worth risking our lives for this old man."

After saying this, Zhou Wangshen and Liang Lingzhen left.

With a cold expression Yu Lian glanced at Jiao Deyun, who had already entered Red Shadow Mountain, and sat down in silence.

Seven days later, Chen Mobai, who was overseeing the relocation of the Divine Wood Sect army to North Abyss City, received a phone call from Zhou Wangshen.

Jiao Deyun, the patriarch of the Jiao Family, died in the attack by the three of them.

They are currently keeping an eye on the He Family patriarch and the Qu Family patriarch, and will make their move once they find an opportunity. However, since Jiao Deyun's death, the two of them have never left their family's Array Formation.

Didn't I say not to do anything that might cause conflict?

Chen Mobai frowned after hearing this.

"This... Jiao Deyun deep resentment towards our Divine Wood Sect. If we don't kill him, when he assists the Nan Xuan Sect in rebuilding the Bao Se Market Town, it may be detrimental to our soon-to-be-established North Abyss Immortal City."

Zhou Wangshen explained that he felt the killing of Jiao Deyun was quite normal in the Eastern Wasteland; it was just a matter of annihilation, so he didn't report it to Chen Mobai.

"As long as North Abyss City is built according to my plan and system, even if Xuanxiao Dao Palace moves their Immortal City to the Eastern Wasteland, they will not be able to compete with me... Forget it, we've already killed them, so let's leave it at that. You three should also come back. If you make any more moves, you might fall into the trap of the Nan Xuan Sect instead."

Chen Mobai was not yet fully accustomed to the customs of the Eastern Wasteland, but since Jiao Deyun was dead, he would not blame Zhou Wangshen and the other two for it.

After all, from the sect's perspective, they have made a contribution.

I just hope it won't trigger a stress response from the Nan Xuan Sect.

However, Nan Xuanjing's reaction was calmer than Chen Mobai had expected. He seemed to regard Jiao Deyun as having died of old age. Instead, after the latter's death, he directly incorporated the Jiao Family's elite cultivators into the Nan Xuan Sect.

Then they began to focus all their efforts on reopening the Bao Se Market Town.

To make a name for himself, Nan Xuanjing even spread rumors that he would hold an auction in Bao Se Market Town a year from now, and would offer Foundation Establishment as the grand prize.

However, to qualify for the auction, one needs to have lived in the Bao Se Market Town for a year.

Upon hearing this news, the Rogue Cultivator in Five Willows Mountain Market Town were indeed eager to make their move, and almost all of those at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer chose to go to Bao Se Market Town.

Chen Mobai could only sigh in admiration. It was indeed different to have the backing of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace; even Foundation Establishment could be auctioned off.

However, he did not lose his composure and continued to direct the sect disciples to construct North Abyss City in an orderly manner.

Time flies, and the end of the year is fast approaching.

Chen Mobai, engrossed in building the city, could only reluctantly put aside his work and return to the Immortal Sect.

He's graduating!
