I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2039: Chapter 975: Divinity Transformation War

As soon as Chen Mobai’s new decree was issued, all the Immortal Cities in the Eastern Wilderness exploded with commotion.

The refugee loose cultivators and small clan cultivators from East Wu turned pale and livid. Some were angry, some were anxious, and others were contemplating countermeasures.

“The Five Elements Sect is too ruthless! We fled here to seek refuge, and now they want to evict us!”

A Foundation Establishment loose cultivator said indignantly. He was a notable figure in East Wu; even among the Eight Great Families, he was a respected guest.

However, the real estate prices in Northern Abyss City where he intended to settle were incredibly high, so he had been renting. Now, under the new decree, even these foreigners renting homes would be affected.

“The Five Elements Sect clearly wants to force us back to resist the Demon Path and Demon Tribe, but we loose cultivators are no match for them!” Another female cultivator spoke in a panic.

The intention behind the newly issued command was already quite clear.

However, no matter how agitated the populace became, in the face of the dominant policy of the Eastern Wilderness’s overlord, the Five Elements Sect, they couldn’t muster any ability to resist.

At night, leaders of various loose cultivator forces from East Wu in Northern Abyss City, along with clan leaders of small families, held a secret meeting.

“I’ve received news that Immortal Venerate Chen gathered members of East Wu’s Eight Great Families today. Surely, they intend to force us back as cannon fodder.”

“The Five Elements Sect definitely doesn’t want us all escaping to the Eastern Wilderness. Once East Wu falls, the Five Elements Sect won’t be unaffected either. They need us to return, even if it’s just to buy some time.”

“It’s infuriating! Is there no place in the world where we can find refuge?”

Amidst the clamor, some stood out, indicating a willingness to lead the people back to East Wu. Compared to being alone, at least by joining together, they could negotiate with those big families.

This part mainly consisted of members from medium and small families, who had businesses in East Wu. Forced by the Five Elements Sect, they were willing to leave a few core disciples in Northern Abyss City and take the rest of their family cultivators back to fight.

The leader was a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a green robe, the family head of East Wu’s Shen Family, with Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation, named Shen Feng.

“Everyone, although the Five Elements Sect’s decision is harsh, it’s not unreasonable. We’ve all fled here, and after East Wu falls, we’d still be recruited to continue fighting on the battlefield. We can’t keep escaping towards East Land, can we? The Teleportation Array over there is controlled by the Five Elements Sect, and venturing through the Ruins is a dead end. Why not form a team to return and defend our home? The Five Elements Sect will definitely help, and perhaps we could indeed block the enemy at the gate.” Shen Feng said sternly.

His words stirred some loose cultivators and small family cultivators. Yes, they fled here mainly because the Eastern Wilderness was the safest place on the Eastern Continent Frontier.

But if East Wu were to fall, this place would also become a land of war. As foreigners with no roots, if the Five Elements Sect were to fight against the demons, they would surely be forcibly recruited to the front lines.

“Shen Family Head is right; we can’t just give up. Even if we die in battle, we should die in our own homeland!”

A young cultivator stepped forward, who was Shen Feng’s arranged speaker, passionately voiced his agreement. Quite a few young cultivators were inspired.

Soon, the sentiment to return and resist began to spread among many cultivators.

However, some showed indifference and disdain.

Following the meeting’s conclusion, the details discussed reached E Yun, who specifically summoned Shen Feng to commend his actions.

Encouraged, Shen Feng began organizing many cultivators from East Wu thereafter, using the flying boats arranged by the Five Elements Sect to return to East Wu, joining the East Wu alliance.

But this group accounted for less than thirty percent.

Ten percent of the people, however, looked for ways to settle in the most remote and cheapest Immortal Cities of the Eastern Wilderness, determined to survive.

Besides them, other Eastern Barbarian cultivators realized the same idea, causing real estate prices in every Immortal City of the Eastern Wilderness to soar as war loomed.

Only a few cultivators could afford to buy, even just for a down payment, leaving the remaining five to six tenths of cultivators drifting along, waiting for the final deadline of eviction by the Five Elements Sect.

Some directly disappeared into the Eastern Wilderness’s Immortal Cities, concealing their cultivation level and changing their identities, hid in the deep mountains or among the common folks.

Against this, Chen Mobai had no effective measure, for he lacked sufficient manpower in the Five Elements Sect, and the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation only covered a small part of the Eastern Wilderness. Places with Spirit Veins could detect traces of cultivators drawing Spiritual Energy for practice, but if truly in barren, spiritless lands, or those with only ordinary Rank-1 Spirit Vein, they were untraceable.

Nonetheless, Chen Mobai still dispatched the Penalty Evil Hall’s patrol troops across the Eastern Wilderness. With the policy newly issued, he needed to show their stance and give more confidence to those big families of East Wu.

Additionally, Chen Mobai was assembling the map of Spirit Veins offered by various big families of East Wu. He planned to tailor the setup, providing East Wu with a powerful Fifth Rank Formation that could connect with the Sky Curtain Ground Network on the Eastern Wilderness side.

For hundreds of years, he had diligently developed the Five Elements Sect, now consisting of 120,000 disciples. Facing the demons, they must proceed steadily, preferably deploying a formation with each step forward.
