Changes, the Crimson Sun Jiao King
Li Yunjing nodded repeatedly as he listened.
Resources are the cornerstone of a sect's development. With these abundant resources, the Luozhen Sect was able to gain a foothold in the Great Wilderness and develop rapidly.
"What's even more surprising is that while exploring the ley lines, we unexpectedly discovered the ruins of an High Antiquity cultivator." Mo Xuan's tone became even more excited. "The ruins were the cave abode of an High Antiquity Dao Union Stage cultivator, which contains a large number of Cultivation Method, Law Treasure, and Cultivation Resources."
We obtained three complete Dao Union level Cultivation Method, dozens of Low-Grade Spirit Treasure, one mid-grade Spirit Treasure, and nearly a million High-Grade Spirit Stone.
"Three Dao Union -level Cultivation Method?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.
"Yes, Senior Brother," Mo Xuan said, "These three Cultivation Method are the ' Metal Gang Indestructible Body,' the ' Profound Water True Scripture,' and the ' Wind-Controlling Spirit Scroll,' which correspond to the three attributes of metal, water, and wind. They have already been added to the Scripture Pavilion for Core Disciple to cultivate."
Li Yunjing nodded, but didn't seem too excited.
After all, he had taken nine half- Half-Immortal level Cultivation Method from the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
He had completely lost interest in mere Dao Union- level Cultivation Method.
It's better than nothing, it just gives the disciples of the Luozhen Sect a few more options.
"Next, let's talk about the sect's strength," Mo Xuan continued. "In this year, the sect's disciples have improved their cultivation very rapidly."
Besides the newly recruited disciples, more than twenty of the original disciples have broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and two have even entered the Nascent Soul.
"Who are they?" Li Yunjing asked in surprise.
"Gu Xuan and Liu Suizhou," Mo Xuan said.
Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow slightly. Gu Xuan was Gu Lin's daughter and had joined the Luozhen Sect a long time ago, becoming True Disciple.
She was very low-key and diligently cultivated after joining the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing would sometimes even forget that Gu Xuan had joined the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing was very surprised that she was able to reach the Nascent Soul.
As for Liu Suizhou, he was the disciple who possessed the Taiwei Dao Body.
It's not surprising that he could reach the Nascent Soul in such a short time.
"Good, thriving." Li Yunjing laughed.
Mo Xuan continued, "There's one more thing. The reinforcements from the lower sects of the two Dao Realm have arrived." Mo Xuan's tone became serious. "According to your previous plan, the lower sects of both Dao Realm have dispatched a considerable number of people to Tianyuan to assist their sects in the land reclamation work."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly.
This was a plan he had devised long ago.
With both Dao Realm conquered by the Luozhen Sect, the sects within them naturally had to be utilized.
For example, the White Jade Palace and the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.
There are quite a few capable people in these sects.
Li Yunjing had previously instructed Mo Xuan to prepare and bring all these talented individuals to Tianyuan.
The Luozhen Sect needs a large number of helpers for its pioneering work, and these people are indispensable.
"Besides these, we also subjugated many vassal forces during the land reclamation process," Mo Xuan said. "There are many weak alien tribes and Demon Race tribes around Alligator Dragon Marsh. They have long been oppressed by the Demon King of Flying Dragon Ridge and their lives are miserable."
After we cleared the land, we not only provided them with protection, but also allocated land and resources to help them develop.
Currently, seven alien tribes and five Demon Race tribes have submitted to us and become vassal forces of our sect.
"Although these vassal forces are not strong, they are familiar with the local situation and have provided us with a lot of intelligence and labor."
For example, those alien tribes are skilled in farming and mining, Demon Race tribe excels in reconnaissance and tracking. Their addition has significantly improved our land reclamation efficiency.
Li Yunjing listened very attentively. Mo Xuan's report was clear and detailed, explaining all the major and minor affairs of the sect over the past year.
It's clear that Mo Xuan and the others have put in a lot of effort this year, managing the sect in an orderly manner.
"Well done, junior brother," Li Yunjing said approvingly. "You've worked hard this year."
"It's all I should do," Mo Xuan quickly replied. "If the sect prospers, I'll benefit too."
Li Yunjing smiled, picked up the spirit tea, took a sip, and then asked, "Is there any bad news?"
Mo Xuan's expression changed slightly, and his tone became serious. "Senior brother, there is indeed something that worries us."
"Oh? What is it?" Li Yunjing put down his teacup and asked.
"It's over at Flying Dragon Ridge," Mo Xuan said. "Ever since we established the Earth Vein Network, the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge have been very restless."
Senior Alligator Dragon said that the demon king of Flying Dragon Ridge, the Crimson Sun Jiao King, was his old acquaintance and enemy. The two had once fought a great battle for control of Alligator Dragon Marsh, and the Crimson Sun Jiao King was ultimately defeated and retreated to Flying Dragon Ridge.
"Now that Senior Alligator Dragon has submitted to us, he has even helped us seize the main vein of the Great Wilderness, cutting off the source of Spiritual Qi for Flying Dragon Ridge. The Crimson Sun Jiao King is extremely angry about this."
"For the past few months, the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge have been constantly provoking us on our border, ambushing our mining teams and caravans, causing considerable casualties."
"Senior Alligator Dragon sensed that the Yao Qi in Flying Dragon Ridge was getting stronger and stronger, and that the Yao Qi of many other Demon Race tribes was gathering in Flying Dragon Ridge."
He suspected that the Crimson Sun Jiao King was uniting with powerful Demon Race tribes in the surrounding area to prepare an attack on them.
Li Yunjing frowned slightly. He had heard of the Flying Dragon Ridge Demon King before.
When the Alligator Dragon submitted, it reminded him that Flying Dragon Ridge was the absolute overlord of the Great Wilderness, with three Demon Kings at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Perfection, leading eight major Demon Race tribes, making it extremely powerful.
Among them, the Crimson Sun Jiao King is the leader and the strongest of the three demon kings.
The Crimson Sun Jiao King even took a half-step towards the Return to Origin Realm.
This realm corresponds to the Dao Union Realm of the human race.
When the Alligator Dragon fought the Crimson Sun Jiao King, the Crimson Sun Jiao King wasn't this strong yet.
However, due to some unknown fortuitous opportunity, its strength quickly surpassed that of the Alligator Dragon.
After arriving at Azure Jiao Marsh, Luozhen Sect will inevitably encounter the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge sooner or later.
Li Yunjing originally thought that it would be at least a few more years before the two sides met.
However, the Luozhen Sect developed too quickly, causing this timeline to be moved forward.
Fortunately, the Luozhen Sect of today is not the Luozhen Sect as it was a few years ago.
The Luozhen Sect now has genuine Dao Integration Realm cultivators, and more than one at that.
Therefore, even if the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge were to make a move, Li Yunjing was not afraid.
"Did Senior Alligator Dragon mention which tribes the Crimson Sun Jiao King has allied with?" Li Yunjing asked.
"It's not clear yet," Mo Xuan shook his head and said, "Flying Dragon Ridge is heavily fortified; our scouts simply cannot penetrate its defenses."
Senior Alligator Dragon said, "The Crimson Sun Jiao King is cunning by nature and extremely cautious in his actions. He will not easily reveal his strength unless he is absolutely certain."
"However, Senior Alligator Dragon has strengthened surveillance in the Flying Dragon Ridge area. He will notify us immediately if there is any unusual activity."
Li Yunjing nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he fell into deep thought.
"I understand about this." Li Yunjing raised his head and said, "Pass down the order to have the disciples stationed at each node strengthen their vigilance and be more alert."
At the same time, Alchemist and weapon refiners were instructed to intensify their efforts in refining elixirs and Law Treasure to prepare for battle.
If the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge really attack, this might give the disciples of the Luozhen Sect a chance to practice their skills.
