Half a year had passed since Tiger Chasing's elite main force joined the war.
During that time, the two princes of the Eastern Wilderness had redeployed their troops, leaving Eastern Wilderness cultivators still holding the advantage in overall numbers.
However, the loss of talented individuals caused by the Dynasty's fragmentation was even more severe than imagined.
The major sects and many gifted disciples of the Eastern Wilderness had originally gathered under the First Prince in the Eastern Region.
The Third Prince and Seventh Prince together commanded less than forty percent.
Thus, in the current clashes among Qi Gathering and Condensing Origin cultivators, they could gain no advantage at all against the gifted cultivators raised by Tiger Chasing.
After more than half a year of steady advance, the Tiger Chasing army had completely crossed the western border of the Eastern Wilderness and entered the inner heartlands controlled by the two princes.
The long-awaited war of exterminating clans and seizing land among Tiger Chasing's various powers had thus begun.
The frontline leaders of every faction gathered at the Central Great Camp and carved up the Southwest territories that had once belonged to the Eastern Wilderness into several hundred regions of varying sizes, as though cutting a cake.
White, green, and purple were used to distinguish the strength of the local powers.
Every region bore a label, signifying which family it had been assigned to.
Of course, this division was not absolute.
If someone had poor teeth and could not swallow the cake placed in their hands, they could hardly blame other powers for "gladly lending a hand."
A close look at the map revealed that more than half the white regions bore the name of the He Family of Myriad Layer Forest.
All of them were relatively large local Qi Gathering powers
