Five Years, the Third Expansion War
He has already wiped out the Fourth Tier Demon Beast, hidden Demon Race, and martial arts practitioners in the "South Lake Mountains," and his Lineage is now thriving, with its members' strength about to increase significantly.
Kong Wenxuan had little to worry about regarding the upcoming expansion war in "Peacock County".
With the Kong Household's current strength, even without gathering the cultivators from the servant Lineage in Peacock County, they are already capable of completing the next expansion war on their own.
Of course, it is the Kong Household's right to conscript cultivators from the servant cultivation Lineage to participate in the expansion war, and they will naturally not give it up. When the expansion war begins, they will naturally conscript cultivators from the servant cultivation Lineage to participate in the war.
Furthermore, they not only recruit cultivators from servant Lineage to participate in the battle, but also recruit cultivators from other Bloodline Lineage to join the battle.
When the "Fire Crow" Ya Household successfully advanced to the "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, it immediately attracted many Bloodline Lineage to join and become servant Lineage of the Ya Household.
Now, the Kong Household has also been promoted to a "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, and even the speed and level of their promotion are stronger than that of the Ya Household, which naturally attracts many Bloodline Lineage to join them.
In the past few months, many cultivators from Bloodline Lineage have come to Peacock County Seat to apply to join the Kong Household Peacock County and become servant cultivator Lineage of the Kong Household.
These cultivators from Bloodline Lineage who have come to join us will undoubtedly become an important force in the upcoming war to expand Peacock County.
However, these matters will naturally be handled by the clan leader, elder uncles, and others. After Kong Wenxuan eliminated the main threats in the "South Lake Mountains," he no longer needed to participate in the subsequent expansion war. He only needed to seize the time to go into seclusion to cultivate, refine and upgrade the "Five Elements Divine Swords," and advance them to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level as soon as possible so that they could bear the complete inheritance and power of "One Sword Gives Rise to Ten Thousand Laws."
Therefore, after returning to his Lineage, Kong Wenxuan celebrated with his clansmen and congratulated his fifth and nineteenth uncles on their successful advancement to the Purple Mansion Stage. Then, he summoned the clan leader, his eldest uncle, and others to tell them about the results of his sweep through the "South Lake Mountains" and the records of the Fourth Tier resource points and mineral veins he had explored and marked.
He then handed over the remaining three Fourth Tier beast taming beasts— the Earth Dragon Beast Taming Beast, the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros Beast Taming Beast, and the Flame Sparrow Beast Taming Beast—to the Lineage.
Let them prepare for the upcoming expansion campaign in Peacock County.
Afterwards, he took the severely damaged "Five Elements Divine Swords" and the collected Five Elements spiritual materials back to the "Peacock Secret Realm" and continued to cultivate and refine his sword at the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak" where he often secluded himself.
He first used a batch of Third Tier five-element spiritual materials he had collected to refine and repair the severely damaged "Five Elements Divine Swords," and repaired all four "divine swords"—the broken "Azure Wood Divine Sword," the cracked "Black Water," "White Metal," "Chihuo," and "Yellow Earth"—.
Then, he took out the Fourth Tier "Red Pine" spirit wood, summoned the "Azure Wood Divine Sword," formed a magic seal with his hands, and continued to infuse the "Earth Sha Treasure Restriction" into the "Azure Wood Divine Sword Azure Wood Divine Sword," continuing to refine and enhance it.
While Kong Wenxuan was in seclusion cultivating and continuing to refine and improve the "Azure Wood Divine Sword," the Kong Household, under the coordination and arrangement of the patriarch, eldest uncle, second aunt, and others, began the expansion war after the Lineage Lineage to the "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" level.
This was the third expansion war waged by the Kong Household in decades. With the rich experience accumulated from the previous two expansion wars, and with virtually no threat to the Kong Household Kong Household in the "South Lake Mountains," this expansion war was proceeding very smoothly.
They recruited servant Lineage, gathered cultivators from all sides, organized Lineage members, and arranged the Peacock Dao Soldiers Army to form three pioneering armies, each led by two Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators. They advanced and explored the depths of the "South Lake Mountains" in three directions.
In the rear of Peacock County, the Kong Household had long been adept at providing logistical support, including various spirit grains, talismans, pills, Law Artifact, and formations, and had made the best arrangements.
Whenever the frontline pioneering army needed it, it could provide the most suitable and necessary logistical support, and also provide the most timely and necessary treatment and recovery for the wounded cultivators, greatly reducing the casualty rate.
Thus, the entire pioneering operation proceeded smoothly and rapidly under the meticulous arrangements of the Kong Household.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past five years, the expansion campaign in Peacock County has proceeded very smoothly. After the Kong Household advanced to the "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, Peacock County was able to expand its territory by another three thousand li, transforming the original medium-sized county town of three thousand li in radius into a superior county town of six thousand li in radius.
After the Kong Household advanced to the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, the war that led to the expansion of Peacock County from a radius of one thousand li to three thousand li took almost ten years.
However, the second expansion war of Peacock County now requires expanding the territory by three thousand li, which is a thousand li more than before. It is proceeding much faster and is already nearing its end in just five years.
This is partly because Kong Wenxuan had already swept through the "South Lake Mountains," and there was no force in the three thousand li of land newly developed by the Kong Household Kong Household that could threaten them.
Secondly, the Kong Household's strength and combat power have become stronger. In the past five years, thanks to the protection of the "Seventh-Grade Peacock True Spirit Star", the nourishment and enhancement of the bloodline by the "Nirvana Spirit Fire" and the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Grand Formation", as well as the support and cultivation of more resources, spiritual materials, pills, and spiritual food, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators in the Kong Household has increased significantly, just as he had expected.
The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has more than doubled in five years, reaching nearly three hundred, which can be considered an explosive growth.
As for cultivators at the Purple Mansion Stage, the Kong Household has successfully added three more in the past five years: Eighth Aunt Kong Yuling, Sixteenth Uncle Kong Yuqin, and Fourth Sister Kong Wenjun, bringing the total number of third-level Purple Mansion Stage cultivators in the Kong Household to twelve.
With the increased combat power of Foundation Establishment Stage and Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, as well as the combat power of the servant cultivator Lineage in Peacock County and the combat power of a large number of Bloodline Lineage cultivators who came to join them, the Kong Household has made great progress in its expansion war over the past five years.
On the other hand, the Kong Household always remembered Bi Qingqing's warning, knowing that the Demon Race might collude with the martial artists of the "True Martial World" to launch another attack or invasion at any time.
Therefore, the Kong Household also wanted to complete the new expansionist war as soon as possible.
Therefore, in this expansion war, the Kong Household did not meticulously occupy every resource point, mineral vein, etc., open up roads, and clarify the situation as they had done before. Instead, they simply occupied the territory, secured some important and key nodes and resource points, and opened up roads.
As for the more detailed aspects such as resources and roads, we plan to sort them out gradually when we have time later, or leave them to the servant Lineage who have come to settle in to clean up, occupy, and develop.
Therefore, it takes much less time.
