The Great Battle Ends, Shi Jian's Name!
For a period of time after the destruction of the Li Yuan Giant Beast Clan, various parties seemed restless; many clans even wanted to take the opportunity to divide up the spoils.
However, those groups that dared to reach out, without any backing, were quickly wiped out on the spot.
Those with powerful backgrounds were mostly crippled or lost several Nascent Spirit Transformation; the territory conquered by the Beast Realm naturally wouldn't allow outsiders to interfere too much.
Anyone who dares to make a move will be severely suppressed!
Before long, the various royal families of the Beast Realm began to divide up their territories.
More than fifty Nascent Spirit Transformation and three thousand Nascent Soul swarmed into the Li Yuan Ancestral Court like locusts; the Spirit Vein, mines, Treasured Earth, and rare spiritual objects that had been cultivated for nearly tens of thousands of years...
They were all divided up and almost completely by the six royal families and their vassal clans.
The rules for dividing the spoils were still set by the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable.
The Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan holds the top spot, accounting for 40%; the four major royal clans—Tiger, Eagle, Lightning Beast, and Kui Lang —each take half.
Of the remaining 40%, the Giant Bear and Ape King clans each contributed the most, accounting for 15%; the remaining 10% of scraps went to more than ten vassal clans.
With this division, none of the tribes objected. And with three Dao Venerable present, who would dare to utter a word under such a grand display?
The territory allocated to the Giant Bear Clan is located southeast of the Li Yuan Ancestral Court, a vast plain spanning thirty million li.
The Shan Yue itself named it: Li Bear Plains.
This land was once the cultivation ground of the direct descendants of the Li Yuan Giant Beast Clan, and the earth veins within it are extremely rich in Treasured Earth Dao energy.
Dozens of earth- Spirit Vein of the fourth rank or above crisscross the area, and seven fifth-rank Spirit Vein are buried deep underground. Their quality is far superior to that of the Giant Bear Clan's previous stronghold.
Shan Li stood atop the main peak of Li Bear Plains, his Divine Sense sweeping across the land beneath his feet.
The Treasured Earth Dao essence flowing through the Spirit Vein was like countless golden rivers surging through the rock strata; the Daoist essence was pure and profound, and even just standing here, her Ten-Thousand-Layered Edge Immortal Foundation had already faintly sensed it, and the Daoist essence operated on its own.
"A good place."
Shan Li said softly, a rare hint of satisfaction on his face.
Cang Wuji squatted to the side, toying with a fist-sized earth-elemental gem in his hand, and chuckled, "It's more than just a good place; the Spirit Vein underground are enough to feed our Giant Bear Clan for tens of thousands of years."
"Stop worrying about the Spirit Vein." Shan Yue's voice came from behind.
He landed on the summit, holding dozens of Jade Slip slips in his hands. His expression was calm, yet revealed a rare hint of joy.
"When dividing the spoils, I specifically asked for these: the treasures and insights into the Treasured Earth Dao passed down through generations of the Li Yuan Giant Beast Clan, from the Early Spirit Transformation to the Extreme Realm of perfection, all included."
Shan Li took a Jade Slip, probed it with his Divine Sense, and immediately his breath caught in his throat.
The Jade Slip contains the essential principles of enlightenment for the [Ten-Thousand-Layered Edge] Immortal Foundation below the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit, and it represents insights gained at the Middle Spirit Transformation. The writing style is simple and elegant, with every word a gem, clearly the work of a senior who has immersed himself in this path for thousands of years.
"These things..."
"These are left for you," Shan Yue said calmly. "You're cultivating the Ten-Thousand-Layered Edge Immortal Foundation; these inheritances will be of the greatest benefit to you."
"When you comprehend your second Immortal Foundation in the future, you can choose from among them."
"The complete Six Foundations inheritance is the second complete inheritance of our clan besides the Physical Body Barbarian Bone Dao. It was hard-won."
Shan Li didn't stand on ceremony any longer and put all the Jade Slip slips into his sleeve.
Cang Wuji laughed and said, "The Ancestor is biased."
"Everything is sided with your Mountain Bear Lineage. Our Pale Bear Lineage even obtained these inheritances of the Extreme Ultimate Force Dao from the Ape Emperor Clan."
"The Pale Bear Lineage has no prestige!"
"You cultivate Ultimate Force, what use are these Earth Dao inheritances to you?" Shan Yue glanced at him. "If you want to advance further, you can ask the Ape King for them yourself."
Cang Wuji then grinned and said no more.
The Shan Yue surveyed the Li Bear Plains, its Earth Dao aura emanating slightly, resonating with the Spiritual Qi of the earth's veins. It nodded slowly, appearing extremely satisfied.
"This place is rich in Spirit Vein and has pure Daoist essence, enough to support several Nascent Spirit Transformation of our clan to cultivate simultaneously; it is more than ten times stronger than the previous stronghold."
"From now on, we will use this place as our base and settle down here."
Shan Li responded, but his gaze turned to a cave abode below the main peak; inside the cave abode, an extremely faint aura of Dao of Lightning was slowly and laboriously pulsating.
Shi Jian.
He has been in a coma ever since the day he fell.
Although the bowl-sized blood hole in his chest had been forcibly sealed by Shan Li with the power of Ten-Thousand-Layered Edge Dao, the internal injuries were far more serious than they appeared on the outside.
The Barbarian Bone Dao essence left in his body by the Ancestor Egu exploded without distinguishing friend from foe; as the Barbarian Bone power pierced through his chest cavity, it also shattered half of his meridians inch by inch.
Most of the internal organs were destroyed, and the foundation of Immortal Foundation principles were in disarray.
Even more deadly, when he was crossing the void rift, he was crushed by the aftershocks of the battle between the three Dao Venerable; the power of the Dao Venerable contained in those aftershocks still lingers in his body to this day.
Like countless fine needles piercing deep into the bone marrow, hindering self-healing.
Shan Li would visit him once a day.
Although Shi Jian's aura was weak, it was slowly recovering; the purple-gold lightning arcs pulsated slightly on his body surface, instinctively repairing his damaged meridians.
However, his speed is too slow. Given his current injuries, it would be difficult for him to fully recover without hundreds of years of rest and recuperation.
"It can't be rushed."
Shan Yue saw through her thoughts. "It's a miracle he's still alive. His body, Early Spirit Transformation, withstood the aftershocks of Dao Venerable. Anyone else would have been shattered long ago."
"He did all that back then, wasn't it all for you, girl?"
"From now on, treat this young man better."
Shan Li didn't speak, turned around and flew down from the main peak, landing outside Shi Jian cave abode.
She sat down at the cave entrance, Ten-Thousand-Layered Edge layers of Daoist energy around her transformed into a barrier, completely isolating the aura inside and outside the cave abode.
She touched Shi Jian's face and sighed softly, "What a nemesis."
To the northeast of Li Bear Plains, there is a solitary peak.
At this moment, two figures stood atop the peak.
A gigantic, beast-like figure, resembling a tortoise and a tiger, carrying mountains on its back, loomed behind it, its Earth Virtue as profound as an abyss, turning the entire solitary peak a dark yellow hue.
Even more, there are crystals and jade stones that emerge from them, and lush black soil that continuously fosters growth; the rich earth energy surges and churns from the earth.
It was none other than the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable.
Beside him, the Ancestor Egu transformed into a humanoid phantom; giant bear skeletons surrounded and covered his body.
The old bear's eyes, half-closed and half-open, gazed towards the direction of the cave abode deep within the Li Bear Plains.
"That kid is badly injured," Ancestor Egu said in a hoarse voice.
"To dare to venture into the aftermath of Dao Venerable while only at the Early Spirit Transformation, one must either be incredibly bold or have something wrong with their head."
The Earth Virtue Dao Venerable spoke haltingly, but his tone contained no hint of mockery; instead, it carried a sense of scrutiny, even admiration.
"But he did it, didn't he?"
The Ancestor Egu chuckled, a hint of arrogance in his voice.
Upon seeing this, Earth Virtue Dao Venerable shook his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the vast void before finally landing inside Shi Jian's cave abode.
"I noticed him earlier."
Earth Virtue Dao Venerable slowly said, "Early Spirit Transformation, cultivating two Immortal Foundation simultaneously, both of which are Dao of Lightning Immortal Foundation below the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit, and their combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level."
"During the previous attack on the Treasured Radiance Mountain Range, it seems that he joined forces with a Nascent Spirit Transformation giant ape to kill a colossal Li Yuan Giant Beast who had cultivated Vast and Broad Earth Immortal Foundation."
"Early Spirit Transformation killing Middle Spirit Transformation, even with the help of companions, the coordination between their swords and spears already revealed their profound cultivation."
"This young man possesses great fortune; he's truly remarkable."
"Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."
