Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1331: Ascension

During the organization of defensive positions by the Demonic Tao, the Sea Clan advanced the front by several hundred miles.

In other words, before the Demonic Tao even took action, the Western Sea had already lost nearly a thousand miles of sea territory!

When the Demonic Tao began their counterattack, the Sea Clan decided not to confront them head-on but instead to retract their forces and consolidate the territories they had already captured.

This tactic greatly frustrated the Demonic Tao, who initially planned to retaliate. However, once they clashed, the Demonic Tao not only failed to gain any advantage but also suffered significant casualties.

This was because, at that time, the Demonic Tao were on the offensive, inherently at a disadvantage.

Helpless, the Demonic Tao had no choice but to abandon the effort, watching bitterly as the Sea Clan purified the sea regions, migrating a large number of Water Devils there to reinforce the area.

They probably didn’t expect that while they were enjoying the troubles of the Immortal Tao, their own backyards would suddenly catch fire, losing a considerable amount of territory.

Moreover, from then on, the Demonic Tao would have to increase their defensive arrangements in the sea region to guard against sudden attacks from the Sea Clan.

Thus, this war, which involved many factions, finally came to a complete end.

The biggest victor, without a doubt, was the Sea Clan!

Not only did they reclaim most of the nearshore areas in the East Sea, but they also captured nearly a thousand miles of the Western Sea and cleared out a batch of low-level Water Devils.

Yet, despite this, the Great Abilities of the Sea Clan were somewhat dissatisfied.

This was because they had not recaptured the East Sea’s nearshore areas, nor had they invaded the inland water systems to command more waters, thereby fully controlling the Water God’s authority!

They failed to consider that, in this war, the casualties of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance and the Devil Race were not less than that of the Sea Clan, yet they did not gain an inch of land.

As the biggest, and arguably the only winner, expressing dissatisfaction might provoke widespread critique!

…

At the same time, the East Continent Immortal Tao was quietly licking its wounds. Many factions had suffered severe damage in this battle, with some even disappearing, weakening the overall strength by at least thirty percent!

Therefore, when Great Zhou came to claim their rewards, the Immortal Tao did not play any tricks but instead straightforwardly handed over three thousand miles of boundary territory adjacent to the Devil Race, which included several plains suitable for human habitation.

Furthermore, they promised five million ordinary people, one hundred Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects, and twenty Heavenly Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques.

The number of ordinary people surpassed expectations, totaling nearly eight million, mostly the secular clansmen of the extinct cultivation families.

Those families and Sects whose power diminished drastically and were overthrown by other factions or outright obliterated still had many surviving ordinary people, but the new forces wouldn’t allow them to stay.

After all, this batch of ordinary people was too large; the new cultivation families required vast lands to support their own ordinary people’s proliferation, and the cultivation Sects recruiting disciples from the ordinary people could find themselves faced only with members of a single bloodline, raising the question of whether it was a Sect or a revived family.

In the past, such situations were difficult to handle, but now that such an opportunity arose, they naturally rushed to send them away.

As a result, the newly formed Da Liang Dynasty was extremely pleased. Along with the three million people brought from Great Zhou, they quickly surpassed the ten million mark, marking a very successful start!

This Da Liang Dynasty was founded by the current emperor of Great Zhou’s second son, one of only two offspring, leading a group of individuals from poor families, small families, and the Human Dao Hundred Schools half a month ago.

After the founding of Da Liang, it took less than half a year to form an army of three hundred thousand to expand towards the Southern Domain!

This aggressive strategy was mainly due to the severe casualties suffered by the Devil Race in the previous war, leaving them relatively weak at the moment.

Though somewhat risky, they succeeded, capturing several hundred miles of territory in one fell swoop.

Most importantly, they occupied a strategic advantageous position in the south!

In the future, whether in attack or defense, they would not be as passive as before, gaining more time for their development.

——

Speaking of which!

Soon after the three major factions’ siege of the East Continent Immortal Tao concluded.

The Heavenly Court, which had been sealed off and inaccessible, finally opened its doors.

“Why did the Heavenly Emperor suddenly close the Heavenly Court?”

This is a question that many Divines have yet to understand, but a sense of unease quickly arose in their hearts, as if something significant had occurred during their confinement in the Heavenly Court.

To discuss this matter, we must go back to before the war broke out!

On that day, the Heavenly Court suddenly announced the holding of the Ten Thousand Gods Assembly, and the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei declared that there was something important to announce. Everyone, except those Divines who were in closed cultivation, had to attend.

The Divines had no second thoughts, especially those ordained by the Heavenly Court, who dared not disobey orders and promptly set out for the Heavenly Court.

But there was an exception!

That exception was the many Divines of Shanhai State, who did not attend the assembly at the Heavenly Court because Ziwei deliberately withheld the notification.

After all, the positions of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were too special, naturally forming a not-insignificant faction, and they were in closed cultivation, attempting to breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Knowing of the Sea Clan’s plan, Ziwei was unwilling to offend the two.

When most of the Divines had arrived at the Heavenly Court, Ziwei slowly appeared and stated, “The purpose of this Ten Thousand Gods Assembly is to review everyone’s progress during this period, to promote and reward the Divine Positions of some Divines, and finally to announce something concerning myself.”

Upon hearing this, the Divines were very excited; who wouldn’t want to become stronger?

After handling a series of tedious matters, many of the Divines saw their Divine Positions elevated.
