Chapter 2114: Chapter 997: Wandering Mountain
Within the Ruins, the Five Elements Sect had already engaged in fierce battle with the Demonic beasts scattered across the land.
Compared to the chaotic beasts, the Five Elements Sect organized their forces into a war array, forming neat formations, their momentum as powerful as a rainbow.
Array upon array of massive Taoist Soldiers, charging and killing amidst the beast hordes, like unstoppable sharp arrows, leaving blood and flesh flying in their wake.
In the sky above, Chen Mobai utilized Sword Light Differentiation to lock onto the high-level beasts within his Divine Sense range.
Among them, there were eleven Rank-3 and two Rank-4 beasts.
This kind of lineup could easily dominate the Eastern Continent Frontier.
But unfortunately for them, they encountered Chen Mobai!
The Rank-5 Primordial Yang Sword Evil flickered, turning all beasts locked by his Divine Sense into headless corpses.
This scene instantly shattered the resistance of the beasts.
Without the leadership of high-level beasts, the formerly barely organized beasts quickly scattered, fleeing to various corners of the Ruins.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai waved his hand to give the order, and the Five Elements Sect’s army transformed into individual formations under the guidance of Golden Core Cultivators, charging into the Ruins with the ferocity of tigers descending from the mountains.
The Ruins between the Eastern Wilderness and East Barbarians had long been part of the Five Elements Sect’s development plans.
However, due to the territories of the Eastern Wilderness and Yun Meng Ze, the Five Elements Sect hadn’t fully developed and utilized them yet, and even if they opened up this Ruins, they didn’t have enough Cultivators to occupy and use it, so Chen Mobai had always put these plans on hold.
The situation was different now, though.
After obtaining the allegiance of all East Wu Cultivator Families, the number of Cultivators under the Five Elements Sect’s banner soared, and even though cramming them all into the Eastern Wilderness was possible,
Chen Mobai, with his Immortal Gate experience, knew very well that this must not be done.
Because the majority of East Wu cultivators couldn’t afford housing, forcibly accommodating them would inevitably affect the Eastern Wilderness’s real estate price fluctuations.
Over the years, the Five Elements Sect lived comfortably, drawing Spirit Stone resources and other essences from the surrounding Three Domains into the Eastern Wasteland, relying on the ultra-high housing prices he had established.
If Cultivators from East Wu casually obtained residences in the Eastern Wilderness, it would definitely impact the steadily rising property prices there.
Even if the housing prices collapsed, it wouldn’t affect the Five Elements Sect’s ruling position, but it would mean they couldn’t siphon off the savings of cultivators from surrounding regions. As key economic players on the Five Elements Sect’s ship, the South Mountain Shop and Danxia Pavilion would also be affected.
Currently, whenever Chen Mobai wants materials, or Qing Nu needs Elixirs refined, a single order would mobilize forces across the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier to supply them.
They could even effortlessly obtain what they wanted from as far as East Land.
The core reason being that everyone knew the Five Elements Sect boasted vast Spirit Stone reserves, and due to the righteous versus demonic war, the property prices in Northern Abyss City could buy out the entire Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier.
These property prices were the emblem of the Five Elements Sect’s immense wealth.
Therefore, they must absolutely not collapse!
Not even a drop is permissible!
These details might be unknown to other Eastern Continent Cultivators, but Chen Mobai, who studied economics at the Repairing Heaven Institute, understood perfectly.
Therefore, according to Chen Mobai’s plan, those affluent cultivators from East Wu who could afford homes were to be absorbed into the various Immortal Cities of the Eastern Wasteland, while the poorer ones were to be settled in newly constructed Immortal Cities outside the Eastern Wasteland.
Apart from the new development on Yun Meng Ze near East Wu, modeled after Stormy Immortal City, directly building land within the great lake,
He also intended to develop this long-neglected Ruins.
This way, the lower-tier cultivators from East Wu could be split into two sections for better future management.
And with this Ruins developed, the corridor between the Eastern Wasteland and East Barbarians would be thoroughly unblocked. At that time, the territory of the Five Elements Sect would multiply several times over.
In addition to the original Eastern Wasteland and Yun Meng Ze, with East Wu and the Ruins between the Eastern Wasteland and East Barbarians, along with the ravaged East Barbarians,
On the East Barbarian side, due to the destruction of Kong Sang Valley, if Ku Zhu doesn’t return after the war, the Five Elements Sect, as a brotherly ally, would need to help manage their territory.
Chen Mobai also thought of deploying forces to seize control of the former Sun Bathing Sea territories while he was at it.
But upon further consideration, even though the righteous versus demonic war had ended, the Mysterious Flood DragonRoyal Court suffered no losses, and it’s certain that the Eastern Continent’s cultivation world will eventually have a great battle with the Mysterious Flood DragonRoyal Court, so it’s best to leave the Sun Bathing Sea as a buffer.
With so much territory already, the Five Elements Sect had enough.
After taking full control, it would allow Jiang Zongheng to unify it into an enormous dynasty. After several decades, with generations of mortal reproduction, the Fruit of Dao’s Rule should mature.
While silently contemplating the Five Elements Sect’s development strategy after the righteous versus demonic war, Chen Mobai didn’t forget to continue directing the sect disciples.
However, after he slew all the high-level beasts, the situation on the battlefield had already been settled.
Under the protection of the battle formations, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect were practically unstoppable, cutting down those beasts that failed to retreat in time, giving them no chance to resist.
Zhou Ye bravely led five Taoist Soldier formations, following pre-arranged tactics, progressing steadily and thoroughly sweeping different regions.
Within the Ruins, the roars of beasts echoed, but were soon suppressed by the roaring of the Five Elements Sect’s Taoist Soldiers.
