Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1759: Chapter 1348: Peace (Part 2)

Watching the large numbers of Human Dao Cultivators flying through the sky, many Loose Cultivators who did not understand what was happening felt very uneasy, and the emotion of fear spread rapidly like a plague.

In a very short time, a widely spread rumor was formed, and the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became. It had transformed into a tale of revenge, where the Immortal Tao was preparing to join forces with the Human Dao to launch attacks on the Devil Race, Sea Clan, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance to seize more territory.

Meanwhile, the spies hidden by various factions in Kunlun State hurriedly passed on the information, fearing that a delay might result in serious consequences.

However, on that majestic Wenda Mountain, the Immortal Tao and Human Dao were clearly separated as they sat, yet the atmosphere was still relatively harmonious.

“I wonder what insight you might have in gathering us all here with such great effort?” Assistant Minister Bai Zhen of the Ministry of Rites from Daqian was the first to speak up.

Before coming to Kunlun State, these Human Dao forces had conducted an internal meeting, with Bai Zhen from Daqian typically representing them in regular speeches.

If it was something important, they would naturally discuss it privately again.

“You are secretly spreading Human Dao Methods. Are you intending to change the heavens and earth to become the lords of the East Continent?” The ill-tempered Heavenly Immortal Zhu Huorong coldly questioned.

“Your Excellency, don’t be angry. We don’t have such intentions. We are merely considering attempting it to lay a foundation for future expansion into other territories.”

Seeing Zhu Huorong about to speak again, the Heavenly Immortal Qin Ming interjected: “If that’s the case, then it’s our overreaction.”

“However, since we’ve managed to gather everyone here, why don’t we take this opportunity to discuss the future development of the East Continent and see if there will be any conflicts of interest between the two sides, shall we?”

“That would be most welcome.”

Bai Zhen smiled faintly, saying, “We don’t actually ask for much, we just want a larger territory to disperse the increasing number of common folk.”

A piece of land can only support and nurture so many mortals, even in a world of Immortals and Demons, it is the same!

Before the Human Dao dynasties existed, most mortals lived in difficult and harsh conditions, naturally having no such issues, but things are different now.

Each Human Dao dynasty greatly ensures the survival and reproduction of mortals for the sake of Human Dao’s luck and the dynasty’s dragon energy, thereby causing the population to increase more and more.

As a result, the Human Dao empires like Daqian are already overpopulated, with the population reaching its limit. They must find a way to solve this problem, or it will inevitably lead to very severe disasters!

For example, too many refugees would lead to a backlash of luck, and in severe cases, even cause the dynasty to collapse!

However, the demand posed by Human Dao is something the Immortal Tao cannot accept!

With the East Continent being this large, if given to Human Dao, how is the Immortal Tao to develop?

With his fiery temperament, Zhu Huorong wanted to get up and reprimand, but found himself unable to move because several Heavenly Immortals had restrained him lest he make the situation too embarrassing.

“This problem isn’t difficult to solve,” Qin Ming smiled slightly.

“Oh?” Bai Zhen raised his eyebrows, teasing, “Are you so noble, Your Excellency, willing to give us the lands of the East Continent? If so, then on behalf of all of Human Dao, I thank you!”

“Don’t be hasty. Let’s hear me out.”

Qin Ming shook his head, smiling: “The Primal Spirit Realm comprises four continents. The East Continent is occupied by my Immortal Tao; the Northern Domain is bitterly cold and barren, and now there is the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance; the West Continent is vast, but has the Demonic Tao, and the land is polluted by Demonic Qi, not an ideal territory.”

“Instead, the Southern Domain has various forces interwoven and mixed, a climate warm and pleasant, most suitable for mortal survival, it can be said to be an excellent land for Human Dao.”

“Your Excellency has quite a way with words, making the chaotic Southern Domain, rampant with devils, sound so wonderful.”

Bai Zhen’s expression did not change as he retorted, “If so, why doesn’t the Immortal Tao invest more resources in the Southern Domain to occupy more land, rather than letting the Devil Race run rampant?”

“The Spiritual Energy in the Southern Domain is volatile and chaotic, unsuitable for Immortal Tao cultivation, requiring great cost to manage, but this problem doesn’t affect you all in the slightest.”

“Moreover, with its vast and fertile lands, it can nurture more of your mortals.”

Qin Ming was not lying; this indeed was the main reason the Immortal Tao had not launched a massive attack on the Southern Domain and occupied that vast land.

Another part is because they are constrained by other factions; after all, no one wishes the already strongest Immortal Tao to have another piece of land.

As for whether the Devil Race would be affected in the process? Certainly, they would, since no one knows how many Devil Beasts live on the Southern Domain.

But would the impact be significant? Not really, as the core territory of the Devil Race is the Hundred Thousand Mountains at the junction of the Southern Domain, West Continent, and East Continent.

However, even if the impact were significant, what does it matter? What does it have to do with the Immortal Tao?

“If you are willing to migrate to the Southern Domain, we can fully assist, whether on the way and migrating or establishing yourselves, the Immortal Tao will provide the greatest help possible.”

“Of course, the premise is that you are willing to leave the East Continent altogether, not thinking of splitting to alleviate internal pressure.”

He spoke very sincerely; even if the Immortal Tao will pay a small price in the process, it’s better than sparking a great war with Human Dao.

“The East Continent cannot accommodate both factions. Please think carefully before making a decision.”

With that, each Heavenly Immortal took their leave, leaving the space to the various forces of Human Dao.

Several Legalist faction Heavenly Immortals stood up simultaneously, casting a prohibition to ensure their subsequent conversation would not be overheard by outsiders.

“Would the Immortal Tao really be so kind? Truly considering us in this way?”

“They are doing it for their own sake! After all, fighting us would mean a tragic victory at best, and the Devil Race, Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, Sea Clan, Divine Path, even the Demonic Tao would attack fiercely.”

Of course, the price they would pay is one of downfall and annihilation.

“It certainly is a mutually beneficial approach if the Southern Domain is indeed as they’ve described.”

Many were attracted by Qin Ming’s description. If the Immortal Tao genuinely acted as they said, they could migrate to the Southern Domain at a minimal cost.

“I remember that the Great Zhou, for assisting the Immortal Tao, received three thousand miles of land, establishing the Da Liang Dynasty on the border of the East Continent and Southern Domain. Why not ask for their opinion and inspect the place personally? Then the report on the matter can be more accurate, rather than relying solely on the words of the Immortal Tao.”

Since the Da Liang Dynasty had already expanded toward the Southern Domain, the Immortal Tao did not include them.

“Excellent!”

Everyone nodded in agreement; it was indeed a good idea.

Then they lifted the prohibition and bid farewell to the Heavenly Immortals, “This matter is critical, and we do not have the authority to decide. We ask you to wait a few days.”

“Feel free to go.”

A throng of Human Dao Cultivators left Kunlun State, heading straight for the Da Liang Dynasty.

“They don’t believe what we said and plan to investigate for themselves.”

“Very normal, if it were us, we wouldn’t believe mere words either.”

Most Heavenly Immortals were quite pleased, thinking that this could indeed resolve the major issue.

But Zhu Huorong and other hawks were not very happy: “You all are too soft, conceding too much!”

“You have to give up some to gain some. We spend some manpower, resources, and money, but obtain a vast territory, resolving the major hidden danger of Human Dao, which benefits us more in the long run,” Qin Ming replied calmly.

“Hmph!” Seeing most people were already on his side, Zhu Huorong snorted coldly and got up and left.

“Sigh, with that fiery temper of his, I truly wonder how he cultivated to his current realm,” a Heavenly Immortal grumbled.

Though no one voiced agreement, several Heavenly Immortals nodded secretly.

…

On the other side, after rushing for many days, the Human Dao Cultivators finally arrived at the Da Liang Dynasty.

“Hmm?”

Upon entering Da Liang, they sensed a distinctly different atmosphere.
