Northern Mountain Range!

Apart from Purple Firmament Peak.

The landscape of the Northern Mountain Range has also undergone tremendous changes.

Originally there were six second-tier spiritual mountains, but now the number has increased to eighteen.

Twelve of them were distributed by Shi Jian to various powerful demon tribes under his command.

The Spirit Rat Line was divided into two.

The rat demons are numerous and have an astonishing reproductive capacity; two sacred mountains are barely enough to handle them.

The Kuang Dou Black Dog Line also acquired two seats.

Although the Black Dog Clan is not the most numerous, their individual combat strength is formidable, and their demand for Spiritual Qi is enormous, so dividing them into two sites is justified.

The remaining eight peaks, belonging to the four bear clans of Boulder, Dark Gold, Primordial, and Frost and Snow, each received two spirit peaks.

Originally, the Primordial Line was squeezed together with the Boulder Line, but now it has become independent, giving both lineages more room to develop.

Although Shi Yin was no longer with the Frost and Snow Line, Shi Jian did not show favoritism towards either of them.

Previously, there were no extra spiritual mountains to allocate, but now that there are extra Spirit Vein mountain peaks, the Frost and Snow Line has naturally been supported.

As for the other six second-tier spiritual mountains, they belong to the Sun Clan and Zhao Clan.

The Sun Clan occupied three sites, focusing on alchemy and formations.

The Zhao Clan occupied three sites, focusing on weapon crafting and talisman making.

These two Human Race Lineage were staunch supporters of Shi Jian; they were Shi Jian's spies and high-ranking members planted in the White Cloud Temple.

They fought for Shi Jian's interests, provided elixirs and numerous spiritual items to the various spirit beast tribes, and also took meticulous care of all the spirit beast tribes.

Thus, by winning Shi Jian's favor, he proved his own worth.

Shi Jian became their backer, allowing them to walk in the public eye and giving them the same opportunity to look out from a high place!

Of course, the Sun and Zhao clans were merely tools to Shi Jian.

But even those who are just tools need to eat.

Even tools have feelings, so Shi Jian bestowed upon them sacred mountains and lands, enough for the cultivation needs of the two clans' descendants, while also ensuring the quality of their output.

As for the first-tier spiritual mountains and lands, there are a total of eighty in the Northern Mountain Range.

Forty of them have been designated as habitats for mythical beasts.

These sacred mountains and lands are home to tens of millions of low-level spirit beasts. Some are wild Demon Beast Shi Jian has gathered from various places, while others are offspring and cubs of his powerful demon tribes.

The descendants of the Sun and Zhao families would regularly go up the mountain to take care of these mythical beasts.

You can either feed them spiritual fruits or treat their injuries and illnesses.

Disciples who perform exceptionally well can also choose a spirit beast as their battle pet, thereby enhancing their own strength.

However, Shi Jian improved upon the method of taming beasts.

Currently, all the inherited beast-taming techniques within White Cloud Temple have been modified to varying degrees by Shi Jian, and many hidden techniques have even been left behind.

For example, humans cannot completely control the lives of Demon Beast; the two are equal.

Secondly, after Human Race cultivator falls, he will inherit a portion of his master's cultivation level after devouring the corpse of his Human Race master.

Alternatively, if a spirit beast is dissatisfied with its master, it can terminate the beast contract at any time and choose a new master.

in addition--

Shi Jian also created a combined attack method based on some beast taming techniques, which involves temporarily merging a human and a demon into one to unleash power far exceeding that of their peers.

The cost is borne by the human side, while the beast side does not bear the side effects of the secret technique.

All of these were moves made by Shi Jian, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Yun Du sensed something was amiss, he did not intervene.

After all, these things did not actually pose a threat to Human Race cultivators; they merely protected spirit beasts from being discarded as cannon fodder to a certain extent.

It's understandable that Shi Jian, being a demon, would have such thoughts about protecting his fellow demons.

Therefore, Yun Du didn't take it seriously.

As for the cultivators from the Sun and Zhao families, they were nominally "taking care" of the spirit beasts, but in reality, they were serving the spirit beasts.

Whoever takes good care of it will get more Cultivation Resources.

Both families were fully aware of these rules, yet no one dared to complain.

After all, the resources Shi Jian provided were more than ten times greater than what they would have gained on their own outside, in addition to the prestige of the Golden Core.

The name alone is enough to bring a lot of hidden value.

The other forty first-tier spiritual mountains and lands were jointly developed by the Sun and Zhao families into spiritual herb gardens, spiritual fruit forests, medicinal herb fields, and so on.

Various kinds of spiritual herbs and flowers are planted in large areas on the spiritual mountain.

First-tier Spirit Plant spirit medicine are everywhere, as are second-tier Spirit Plant and animals, and all kinds of spiritual fruits spirit medicine are readily available.

Even third-tier Spirit Plant have been cultivated in large numbers in the Northern Mountain Range.

These spiritual items will eventually be refined by the Sun Clan Alchemist into various elixirs specifically formulated for the physiques of Demon Beast, such as Beast Essence Pill, Bone-Strengthening Pill, and Marrow-Cleansing Pill...

Then it was made by the talisman maker from the Zhao Clan.

Some of the spiritual materials are refined into talismans to aid cultivation, which are then affixed to the nests of spirit beasts to accelerate their absorption of Spiritual Qi.

Both the Sun and Zhao families operate in an orderly manner, with everything revolving around the core of "cultivating spirit beasts." Any surplus is sent to the Beast Pasturing Mountain to nurture various races.

Shi Jian was very satisfied with this.

The competition between the Sun and Zhao families is a good thing; competition leads to breakthroughs and strengthens their clan.

The changes in the Northern Mountain Range extend far beyond the expansion of sacred mountains and lands.

In addition to Purple Firmament Peak and the fully mature Thunder Pool Blessed Land, two more Blessed Land lands have been added in the Northern Mountain Range.

That's a truly grand gesture!

The first place is another Blessed Land of Fire Dao in the Fenghe Sect [Crimson Slurry Pool]!

Shi Jian entrusted this Blessed Land to Kuang Dou.

Among the bear demons, the Fire Dao is not highly compatible with the bear demons, but is highly compatible with the dog demons. Moreover, the Black Hound Clan does not have any obvious special talents.

Giving it to the Black Hound Clan is a way of making the best use of it.

Frenzied Battle Peak, located in the northwest corner of the Northern Mountain Range, is also the stronghold of the Black Hound Clan. The mountain itself has a faint fire attribute Spiritual Qi, which is compatible with the attributes of the Fire Dao Blessed Land.

Shi Jian had the Lord Rat lead the team to carve out a huge lava cave beneath the Frenzied Battle Peak and place the Crimson Slurry Pool inside.

After the Crimson Slurry Pool moved in, the temperature on Frenzied Battle Peak rose sharply.

The rocks on the mountain's surface were baked red-hot, and the ordinary spiritual herbs that originally grew on the mountain withered and turned yellow. In their place, some fire-attribute Spirit Plant that could withstand high temperatures took their place.

Kuang Dou was overjoyed.

Although the Black Hound Clan's cultivation methods are diverse, they have a high affinity for the Fire Dao. With this Blessed Land, the most talented descendants in the clan will have the potential to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future.

It can even improve bloodlines, allowing the Black Hound Clan to produce more Foundation Establishment level demons!

Even he might not be without the possibility of breaking through to the Golden Core in the future, although such a possibility is extremely slim...

But that doesn't stop them from Kuang Dou, possessing the determination to climb high and see far!

Even as an ordinary dog demon, an insignificant little clan in the Beast Realm, it still harbors ambitions to Sun Devourer!

Even small clans have their own ambitions.

Kuang Dou, there is also a steadfast Kuang Dou heart!
