After successfully signing the Yellow Heaven Ridge Treaty with the Giant Race, the Purple Sky Sect turned its main focus to developing and building up its newly acquired lands.
Under these circumstances, the carefully planned offensive against the Demon Race could only be reluctantly shelved until a later opportunity arose.
Under the terms of the Yellow Heaven Ridge Treaty, the Purple Sky Sect received forty percent of the lands ceded by the Giant Race, making it the treaty's greatest beneficiary.
The Great Brightness Temple followed closely behind, taking thirty percent of the land. The Giant Sword Sect, the Sun Moon Sect, and the Liu Lineage each received ten percent.
The other major Human Race cultivation powers, having contributed less, received only some precious high-tier spirit treasures as compensation.
The newly acquired territory was so vast that even a sect like the Purple Sky Sect, which ranked among the Human Race's foremost powers, would need a long time and enormous investments of manpower and resources just to complete its initial development.
Fortunately, however, the Yellow Heaven Ridge Treaty secured three thousand years of peace between the Human Race and the Giant Race.
For this very reason, the cultivation powers and lineages subordinate to the Purple Sky Sect were extremely enthusiastic about settling and developing the New Territory. Their enthusiasm even spread among rogue cultivators, many of whom took their families and moved their entire households to the New Territory, their faces brimming with anticipation and longing.
To accelerate the development and construction of the New Territory, the Purple Sky Sect retained some high-tier spirit veins and strategically important passes and cities for its own development.
It sold large quantities of less important low-tier spirit veins and ordinary land within its New Territory to its subordinate cultivation powers and cultivation lineages.
