Eastern Wasteland Reaction

"Very well, since your Six Armor Mountain is so pragmatic, then I will keep my word and spare your lives. From now on, your lineage will be closed to Seal Mountain."

Fu Zongjue saw that Xu Shengbing, the Sect Leader of Six Armor Mountain, had indeed opened the Mountain Protecting Great Formation and presented all the hundreds of volumes of Puppetry knowledge passed down for thousands of years, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

An Jinghui immediately went up to examine these Puppetry inheritances. He was the Minister the Puppet Department of the Divine Wood Sect and was the most knowledgeable about puppets among the Divine Wood Sect present, second only to Fu Zongjue.

After checking and finding no problems, he took out a storage bag, packed all the hundreds of volumes into it, and then returned to Fu Zongjue's side, respectfully handing it over.

"Walk!"

Fu Zongjue did not linger here any longer. He laughed and rode his Escape Light, leading the Divine Wood Sect group away from Six Armor Mountain.

Xu Shengbing looked up after watching them disappear, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

But without Core Formation Cultivator in charge, how could they possibly resist the evil alliance of the Eastern Wasteland centered around the Divine Wood Sect? In the battle of the Yan Kingdom, the Divine Wood Sect lost another Core Formation, while the two Core Formation of the Nan Xuan Sect, which the Six Armor Mountain relied on, were killed and escaped, and even their own ancestor died under Mo Douguang's sword.

Now, not only are people from Six Armor Mountain astonished, but Five Elements Sect are probably also extremely surprised.

In just over twenty years, the two sides, whose strengths were originally evenly matched, have been reversed in an instant.

The key is that peerless sword genius named Chen Guixian.

If I had known there was such a genius among the Rogue Cultivator in South Stream Market, I should have taken him back to Six Armor Mountain back then.

Xu Shengbing recalled that thirty years ago, in order to find a suitable Ghost Embryo for his ancestor who had become a ghost cultivator, he traveled all over the Eastern Wasteland, selected more than a dozen cauldrons, and also passed through South Stream Market in Yun Country, where he planted a mark on a small Rogue Cultivator.

If I had wandered around South Stream Market more back then, I might have met the incredibly talented Chen Guixian.

After all, the brilliance of a genius can never be concealed. In order to find the cauldron for resurrection, Xu Shengbing had specially cultivated a Spiritual Eye Art. He was confident that as long as he saw Chen Guixian, the latter's astonishing swordsmanship talent would definitely be on full display.

Unfortunately, I was too lazy at the time. After Lu Shu taught me the techniques for half a year, I hurriedly went to the Yu Country to find my old lover.

If they had stayed another year or two, the one with an Core Formation Cultivator would now be their Six Armor Mountain.

They might already be launching a counterattack against the Five Elements Sect.

"Sect Leader..."

Just as Xu Shengbing was heartbroken and unable to breathe, some elders from Six Armor Mountain also walked over with grief and indignation on their faces, their expressions full of humiliation.

"All of you should shut yourselves up and cultivate. If you ever need to leave the mountain in the future, do not say that you are from Six Armor Mountain."

When Xu Shengbing said this, some of the more radical Foundation Establishment Elder couldn't stand it anymore and began to accuse him of handing over the sect's thousand-year heritage to others.

"Even if Six Armor Mountain is destroyed and all these inheritances are burned, it will not make the Divine Wood Sect stronger."

There were obviously many elders of Six Armor Mountain who held this idea, but the reason why Xu Shengbing was the Sect Leader was because he was better at weighing the pros and cons when doing things.

"As long as Six Armor Mountain exists, the sect has hope of producing the next Core Formation Cultivator. Compared to inheritance, I think these are more important."

Xu Shengbing pointed to the mountain beneath his feet. This was one of the Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein in the Eastern Wasteland. Although it was only Fourth Grade vein, it was the foundation upon which the Core Formation Cultivator of Six Armor Mountain had been continuously cultivated for thousands of years.

As long as the Spirit Vein exists, there is a future.

If even the Spirit Vein are gone, then even if Six Armor Mountain were to flee to the Eastern Yi, it would gradually dissipate like stars in the sky and turn into dust of history.

"Hmph, I can't agree with your point of view..."

An elder in the late Foundation Establishment spoke with a cold gaze. With his raised arm and shout, nearly a quarter of the people in Six Armor Mountain joined in opposing Xu Shengbing.

"Yu Changjian, you and I entered the sect at the same time, but I suppressed you for your whole life. You've been holding this grudge for over a hundred years, haven't you? Are you trying to force me to resign now?"

Xu Shengbing looked at Yu Changjian calmly, even though most people in the sect were looking at him with suspicion.

His calm demeanor aroused Yu Changjian's suspicions, but this was the best opportunity in a century to take charge of Six Armor Mountain.

The all-powerful Nan Shidao is dead, and Xu Shengbing has just suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Fu Zongjue timing, location, and popular support, if he still cannot remove him from the Sect Master Position, then he deserves to be a failure for the rest of his life.

"We request that the Sect Leader abdicate!"

After considering all the consequences, Yu Changjian a deep breath, stepped forward, and said these words to Xu Shengbing.

It was a month later when Chen Mobai heard that the Sect Leader of Six Armor Mountain had been overthrown and a new Sect Leader had taken over.

After Fu Zongjue obtained the Puppetry inheritance, he immediately returned to Giant Wood Ridge, so Chen Mobai had to arrange and handle the three territories of the Yan Kingdom, Xiao Kingdom Hong Kingdom.

Because the Divine Wood Sect lacked manpower, it could only cooperate with local Cultivating Family and other forces to gain a dominant position in name, but in reality, the operation of the market, the development of mineral resources, and so on were all handed over to others.

Of course, the most precious Spirit Stone Mine and the like will definitely be in our own hands after we drive out the Nan Xuan Sect.

Unfortunately, the most precious Void Stone Mine has been completely mined out. However, when the mine was in the hands of the Mountain Shaking Peak, there was already little left. When the Divine Wood Sect handed it over to the Nan Xuan Sect, it was mined again in retaliation, so it is normal that it has become an empty mine now.

With Chen Mobai, Divine Wood Sect 'Core Formation takeover of the Three Kingdoms proceeded without any major disruptions.

In the Yan Kingdom, Yue Zutao remains the garrison commander. In the Xiao Kingdom, Zhou Wangshen is very familiar with the area. In the new Hong Kingdom, Chen Mobai has also sent his good friend Yuan Chiye there.

However, as the Divine Wood Sect gradually gained control of the resources Spirit Vein of the three kingdoms, undercurrents began to surge throughout the Eastern Wasteland.

The Five Elements Sect, the Returning Heaven Valley, and the Blowing Snow Palace were all deeply worried.

Originally, the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Sects achieved a very delicate triangular balance after the Five Elements Sect split up.

But now that Mountain Shaking Peak has been destroyed, Six Armor Mountain exists in name only.

The Core Formation Alliance, which was originally just one part of the Five Elements background, was instantly reduced to Returning Heaven Valley and Blowing Snow Palace.

Both of these families were intimidated by the Divine Wood Sect.

If the destruction of the Mountain Shaking Peak was still within their understanding, then the defeat and demise of the Nan Xuan Sect and Six Armor Mountain were completely beyond their expectations.

Leaving aside Six Armor Mountain, just considering those two Core Formation Cultivator from the Nan Xuan Sect, apart from Zhou Shengqing, no one in the Eastern Wasteland dares to say they can reliably defeat them.

That was an elder from the Nascent Soul Great Sect, whose reputation was renowned throughout the three realms surrounding Eastern Yi.

Their attempt to interrupt Zhou Shengqing's Nascent Formation was in line with the expectations of Returning Heaven Valley and Blowing Snow Palace.

Yan Shaoyin even felt that only by having the Nan Xuan Sect enter the Eastern Wasteland and stir up the waters could he have any hope of Nascent Formation.

While the Yan Kingdom's Divine Wood Sect Nan Xuan Sect were engaged in a fierce battle, Yan Shaoyin did some deductions and concluded that Fu Zongjue's death was the best possible outcome.

But the result was completely unexpected.

The army of cultivators from the Nan Xuan Sect not only failed to reach Giant Wood Ridge, but also failed to even leave the Yan Kingdom before being swept away by the newly emerged Divine Wood Sect Old Ancestor Chen from the Divine Wood Core Formation.

"So, this Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was prepared for him."

In Returning Heaven Valley, Yan Shaoyin thought of the pills he had painstakingly refined and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

But thinking about it more carefully, if we go back to the day Zhou Shengqing came to him, and Yan Shaoyin was given the chance to make a choice again, he would still nod in agreement.

"I hope my disciple will also be able to successfully Core Formation."

The batch of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pills yielded four pills, half of which were distributed to Returning Heaven Valley. One of the pills was given to Yan Shaoyin's eldest disciple, who is currently in seclusion preparing to take it.

With Chen Mobai's success as an example, Yan Shaoyin's expectations for him also increased greatly.

"How can Zhou Shengqing be so lucky? When the family split up, Fu Zongjue formed his Core Formation, and now that he's Nascent Formation soul, there's this Chen Guixian. Could it be that he's really going to Nascent Formation?"

As Yan Shaoyin muttered to himself, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

If Zhou Shengqing Nascent Formation, he will have no chance to rise above his circumstances in this lifetime. If he wants to go any further, he will probably have to give up his family business in Returning Heaven Valley and join the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association.

But he certainly won't give up until the very last moment.

"Zhou Shengqing definitely cannot Nascent Formation."

That's all he could hope for.

Deep within a palace built of ice in the Blowing Snow Palace, a pure white lotus blooms in a frigid pond. A slender figure sits at the center of the flower's heart, the surrounding cold air turning into ice, freezing her and the white lotus within it.

Two women in the White Palace, with charming faces, walked in.

They were Zhu Jinyu, the Sect Leader of the Blowing Snow Palace, and Lan Lingping, the head of the outer sect.

"Greetings, Master!"

After the two entered, they knelt down in front of the white lotus. The one who could command such respect from them was naturally Kong Lingling, Core Formation Cultivator from the Blowing Snow Palace.

"What is it?"

A cold voice rang out in the two women's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness. They immediately told Kong Lingling all the information they had collected about the Divine Wood Sect and Chen Mobai during this period.

"This person is exceptionally talented. At this rate of advancement, he is probably the most likely to Nascent Formation the Nascent Soul Core Formation in the Eastern Wasteland."

After listening to Chen Mobai's life story, Kong Lingling couldn't help but sigh.

Such talent is probably even inferior to that of Heaven Spirit Root.

"Master, Master Yan from Returning Heaven Valley has sent a letter."

"I understand, but I'm currently at a critical stage in my cultivation and cannot travel. Moreover, since the Divine Wood Sect has killed Nan Xuanjing, even if Old Ancestor Jin Feng doesn't have much lifespan left, he will definitely make a move in this situation. Let's wait and see how the Xuanxiao Dao Palace reacts."

After gathering all the information, Kong Lingling decided to wait and see how things unfolded.

"Master, before Old Ancestor Chen of the Divine Wood Sect Core Formation, I had a conversation with him, and we got along very well..."

Lan Lingping then reported on the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice. Kong Lingling also remembered this matter. If Zhou Shengqing were to Nascent Formation the Nascent Divine Wood Sect were to become powerful, they could use this as a starting point to befriend this Old Ancestor Chen.

However, given the unclear attitude of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, Kong Lingling advised Lan Lingping not to cultivate a close relationship with this Old Ancestor Chen in the name of the Blowing Snow Palace.

"By the way, didn't your disciple also Foundation Establishment? Let her go as a representative to congratulate this Old Ancestor Chen on his Core Formation. If the Divine Wood Sect fails to withstand the Xuanxiao Dao Palace's subsequent retaliation, then we should expel her from the palace."

"Yes, Master."

This idea was basically the same as Lan Lingping's. However, after Xue Ting reached the Foundation Establishment, she could no longer manipulate this former disciple at will, so she needed Kong Lingling, the Core Formation Ancestor, to speak up.

After leaving the Ice Palace, Lan Lingping handed Kong Lingling's handwritten letter to Xue Ting.

"Since it is the Ancestor's will, I will naturally comply."

Xue Ting said in a cold tone, but as she turned to leave, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, even after reaching the Foundation Establishment, he was still being ostracized.

She felt no warmth at all in this Blowing Snow Palace.

For some reason, she recalled the year she spent in Little South Mountain.

Although it was very brief, it was the only warm memory she had in her entire life.

What if Blowing Snow Palace also falls under the rule of the Divine Wood Sect?

Suddenly, this terrifying thought popped into Xue Ting's mind.

She immediately suppressed her distracting thoughts, selected some unique spiritual products from the Snow Country, and then took the Teleportation Array towards the founding of the Jian Country.

She found Little South Mountain Shop in White Moon Market with ease. Soon after, Liu Wenbai, who had received the news, also arrived via the Teleportation Array.

"Junior Sister Xue Ting, what a coincidence! Master just returned from the Yan Kingdom the day before yesterday, and the sect is currently discussing how to hold Core Formation Ceremony for him. I didn't expect your Blowing Snow Palace to come first."

Over the years, Liu Wenbai Little South Mountain Shop to half of the Eastern Wasteland through Spirit Rice and Talisman Paper, and now has three branches in the Snow Country. When he goes there to deliver goods, he also exchanges a lot with Xue Ting.

The two are considered good friends.

"If it weren't for Old Ancestor Chen's guidance, I wouldn't have been able to successfully Foundation Establishment. I've wanted to come and express my gratitude for a long time, but Old Ancestor Chen has been in seclusion and I've been busy with sect affairs. Only now do I have the opportunity to come and express my gratitude in person."

Over the years, Xue Ting has been assigned to handle various trivial matters in the outer sect and has also been responsible for cultivating Spirit Field and planting Fire Spirit Rice. Her communication skills have also improved a lot, and she is no longer as cold as she was when she was in Little South Mountain.

"Haha, Master will definitely be very happy to see that you have successfully Foundation Establishment."

As Liu Wenbai spoke, he took Xue Ting on Teleportation Array to Jade Pot Market to Giant Wood Ridge, and then took her visiting card to see Chen Mobai.

"Oh, she's Foundation Establishment? That's a good thing."

Chen Mobai didn't have a deep impression of Xue Ting, but Zhuo Ming seemed to have a very good relationship with her. Back when they were planting Fire Spirit Rice in the Snow Country, they encountered many technical problems, and Zhuo Ming answered one by one.

"Let Zhuo Ming receive her."

Chen Mobai nodded, and after arranging things for Xue Ting, he looked up at the Longevity Wood at the very center of Giant Wood Ridge.

"Junior Brother Chen, come here and greet me."

Zhou Shengqing's voice rang in his ears.
