"Boom!"
With a deafening crash, all the steel fortresses on Celestial Pivot Peak on Jade Whale Island collapsed. Hundreds of Entry Realm cultivators of various elemental paths cast their arts simultaneously, melting the materials through the laws of the five elements. Most returned to nature, while the valuable portions were separated out and packed by category by designated workers.
The tower on the summit that enshrined The Sage was left standing. Divine Art Runes of the Wanxuan Kingdom were engraved inside and out, and portraits of heroes from every age were hung within. Ascetics temporarily transported from the four southern provinces were already praying softly in and around the tower.
The tower shone with the Divine Arts radiance of the Wanxuan Kingdom's faith, successfully bringing this island into Wanxuan's territory. On the summit of Celestial Pivot Peak on the other side, hundreds of colleagues from the Technical Division were urgently setting up communications coverage for this land.
By now, Yang Wenqing's Allied Army had occupied the main lands and lakes in the center of Jade Whale Island, along with most of its northern and eastern regions. As for the remaining areas, even with his supreme authority to deploy troops, Yang Wenqing could not forcibly stop the soldiers of the other three provinces.
Fortunately, East Tide Province was on his side and occupied part of the south. The remaining regions were in the hands of the other theaters of war. This was not yet the final division of the cake, but it would not differ by much.
Below Celestial Pivot Mountain, Yang Wenqing had also assembled a hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers, who were using Celestial Pivot City as a base to open up the surrounding traffic and transport networks.
The city was nowhere near as prosperous as it had been before
