My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

113: Rapid expansion, approaching the Tianyu EmpireIn an unknown mountain range.

Inside an extremely ancient courtyard.

An old man with white hair was currently closing his eyes to rest, in a state of cultivation.

The old man was wearing a coarse cloth robe, and he looked like an ordinary elder, without any distinguishing features.

Especially his face, which appeared somewhat withered.

As if he was on the verge of death, his life about to reach its end.

The old man just kept his eyes closed, yet a faint white aura emerged around him.

This aura flickered in and out of existence, completely enveloping the old man, making him appear mysterious and sacred.

Around the old man, an extremely vast power was constantly rippling outwards.

Like the surging waves of a tsunami, continuously crashing against the sea, wave after wave, immensely powerful and turbulent, inspiring awe and being unrivaled.

Just then, the old man, who had been in seclusion for cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the void.

From his eyes, an extremely vast heavenly pressure emanated.

Under the scrutiny of that powerful aura, the entire mountain range trembled incessantly.

“Who is it that used the Tianyu Divine Decree? Who actually dared to use the Tianyu Divine Decree?”

The old man’s face grew colder, staring intently in a certain direction, as if he could already see the outline of the Tianyu Empire.

At this moment, in the courtyard where the old man resided, the temperature suddenly dropped.

A chill assaulted the area, as if to completely freeze the entire courtyard.

The old man was the true pillar of the Tianyu Empire, and also a legendary figure of the Tianyu Empire, an old antique who had lived for nearly ten thousand years.

He was also the thirty-sixth monarch of the Tianyu Empire, and six thousand years ago, he had already reached the eighth stage of the Body Integration Realm.

However, the old man was obsessed with martial arts his entire life, and had no interest in governing the country.

Therefore, he retreated gracefully, passed the throne to his son, and then went into seclusion for cultivation.

It wasn’t until three thousand years ago, after he broke through to the ninth stage of the Body Integration Realm.

The old man knew very well that if he continued to stay in the Tianyu Empire, it would be almost impossible to break through to a higher realm.

Therefore, the old man chose to go out and seek a way to break through.

When he went out, he was still worried about the situation of the Tianyu Empire, so he specially left a token.

But now, the power of this token had reappeared, causing the old man to frown tightly.

Could it be that the Tianyu Empire had truly reached a critical moment of life and death?

Thinking of this, an undisguised killing intent emanated from the old man’s eyes, as if it could pierce through everything, and even annihilate everything.

The Tianyu Empire was not only the old man’s hometown, where his relatives and descendants resided, but also the source of his honor and pride.

It was the old man who, by his own strength, turned the tide and even expanded the territory for the Tianyu Empire, thus establishing the vast Tianyu Empire of today.

He knew very well that if the Tianyu Empire had not encountered a problem that could not be solved at all, his descendants would never have used the token he left behind.

The reappearance of the token also meant that the Tianyu Empire was in danger of being annihilated.

How could the old man just stand by and watch the Tianyu Empire be wiped out by others?

“No matter who it is, anyone who dares to offend this old man’s territory, I will let you know that this old man is still alive.”

“Qinglong, Baihu, where are you?”

The old man said with a calm tone, his eyes fixed.

“Your disciples are here.”

Following the old man’s shout, two phantoms quickly emerged from the void and arrived before the old ancestor.

They knelt on the ground obediently, bowing respectfully to the old man.

These two seemingly young individuals were the old man’s direct disciples.

Both of them were handsome, stately, and extraordinary individuals.

Both of them were under five hundred years old, yet they were already powerhouses in the Spirit Division Stage.

Such strength, even in the Tianyu Empire, would be among the top ranks.

“Follow your master on a trip to the Tianyu Empire.”

The old man said calmly.

As soon as his voice fell, the void trembled once again.

A spirit boat, so vast it covered the sky, boundless and without end, emerged in the void.

“Your disciples obey!”

Qinglong and Baihu nodded respectfully.

Their figures transformed into streaks of light and quickly entered the spirit boat.

The old man’s figure flickered, and he too arrived on the spirit boat, activating his magic power.

The spirit boat, at an incredibly fast speed, had already traveled thousands of miles in a flash.

…

On the other hand.

“Reporting, Demon Venerable, our Tian Sha Sect disciples successfully raided Linzhou, killed the Linzhou City Lord, and seized countless resources.”

“Reporting, Demon Venerable, the Blazing Fire Sect, having learned of your esteemed name, is willing to lead all its disciples to pledge allegiance to you and serve you.”

“Reporting, Demon Venerable, the Four Directions Gate and the Ultimate Gate have sent envoys to negotiate with us. As long as you and our Tian Sha Sect disciples do not interfere with their disciples or their interests, they are willing to provide us with a large sum of resources annually.”

…

One piece of good news after another continuously reached Lu Fengming’s ears.

During this period, Lu Fengming presided over the center, constantly recruiting soldiers and attracting countless demonic cultivators to join him.

It must be known that throughout the Southern Border region, demonic cultivators were almost universally reviled.

Even though many empires and forces did not completely exterminate demonic cultivators, these demonic cultivators found it difficult to move freely in the outside world.

Now,

Lu Fengming led the disciples of the Tian Sha Sect, conquering cities and territories along the way, sweeping everything before them, causing the Tianyu Empire to shrink back and dare not oppose them.

He even took advantage of the momentum to capture an unknown number of cities, shocking the entire Tianyu Empire.

Even many external forces learned of Lu Fengming’s actions.

Those demonic cultivation sects and forces seemed to have found a glimmer of hope.

One by one, they brought their families and all their sect’s foundations, all to pledge allegiance to Lu Fengming and join the Tian Sha Sect, becoming a member of the Tian Sha Sect.

Lu Fengming naturally welcomed all these demonic cultivators who came to pledge allegiance, absorbing them all.

No matter how many evil deeds they had committed before, or what kind of schemes they had engaged in.

As long as they were willing to serve Lu Fengming, why wouldn’t he be happy to do so?

In just one or two months, Lu Fengming had already gathered tens of thousands of demonic cultivators who came to pledge allegiance to him.

Among them were many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and even several Spirit Division Stage cultivators.

Some of these people were rogue cultivators, while others belonged to sect forces.

Suppressed by those who claimed to be righteous, they could no longer survive.

Now that Lu Fengming had risen up, they naturally responded en masse, all joining his ranks.

With the addition of these demonic cultivators, Lu Fengming’s strength surged.

In just one month, he once again captured cities and broke through dozens of cities in the Tianyu Empire.

Many cities in the northern part of the Tianyu Empire had almost all fallen.

After capturing these cities, all the resources within them belonged to Lu Fengming.

Lu Fengming had no interest in these resources at all.

He distributed them all to his subordinates according to their merits.

This, in turn, earned him the goodwill of these demonic cultivators, making them more loyal to him.

Lu Fengming knew very well that the vast majority of demonic cultivators, especially those who came to pledge allegiance to him, had very little loyalty.

The reason they pledged allegiance to Lu Fengming was simply to seek his help.

And even to strengthen themselves under Lu Fengming’s command.

Lu Fengming was indifferent to all of this and did not do anything.

As long as these people were willing to serve him, Lu Fengming didn’t care how loyal they were.

Anyway, in the face of absolute strength, any schemes and tricks were just fleeting clouds and would not play any role.

With the nourishment of numerous resources, the strength of Lu Fengming’s demonic cultivators also greatly increased, with almost every one of them breaking through several realms.

Some even, under the irrigation of numerous resources, broke through four or five minor realms in less than two months.

During this period, Wan Chongling also gradually recovered from his injuries through the nourishment of a large amount of resources.

He had already broken through from his original Body Integration Fourth Stage to the Body Integration Sixth Stage.

Wan Chongling was originally a powerhouse at the Body Integration Sixth Stage, and at that time, he was only one step away from breaking through to the Body Integration Seventh Stage.

However, he was ambushed by the previous monarch of the Tianyu Empire, who used the Shuantian Chain to trap him for five thousand years. Under the suppression of the Shuantian Chain, Wan Chongling’s realm continuously fell.

Now, with the irrigation of a large amount of resources, it was naturally an easy matter to restore his former strength.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary during this period was Lu Fengming.

After capturing dozens of cities, Lu Fengming’s evil points also increased by leaps and bounds.

In less than a month, he had already gained 450 million evil points.

After spending another 5,000 evil points, Lu Fengming’s realm also broke through from his original Body Integration First Stage to the Body Integration Third Stage.

With the increase in strength, Lu Fengming’s confidence also increased.

Looking at the surrounding demonic cultivators, Lu Fengming calmly issued an order: “Pass down this Demon Venerable’s order, all demonic cultivators gather, follow this Demon Venerable to the Tianyu Empire, and fight a decisive battle with the Tianyu Empire royal family.”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Waves of shouts of killing continuously came, shaking the heavens.

All the demonic cultivators were already boiling with excitement and could not restrain themselves.

They brandished their weapons, venting their excitement and fanaticism.
