Chapter 2118: Chapter 998
After the war ended, under the guidance of Chen Mobai, the Five Elements Sect began to manage the post-war territories.
Among these, the Eastern Yi Region was handed over to Zhou Ye, while Zhuo Ming was responsible for post-war reconstruction in East Wu.
As for the Eastern Wilderness, it was not affected by the wars, so there was no need to expend much effort. The main focus of the Five Elements Sect now is to resettle the populace of East Wu.
Since they are now subjects of the Five Elements Sect, the first step is to arrange housing for them.
This task was entrusted by Chen Mobai to E Yun and Jiang Zongheng.
Among them, E Yun was responsible for arranging the Cultivator Families, while Jiang Zongheng was in charge of the ordinary people.
When Chen Mobai and Zhou Ye led the Five Elements Sect to open up the Ruins, E Yun and Jiang Zongheng were already arranging for the relocation of East Wu’s populace.
When Chen Mobai returned, the newly opened territory of the Ruins was already bustling with activity.
Under the command of the Five Elements Sect, some were clearing the remnants of battlefields, while others began constructing basic access roads and simple shelters.
Because this was about building their future homes, and the Five Elements Sect promised to contribute significantly—allocating a residence to each household once the Immortal City was established—the people of East Wu, just emerging from the shadows of war, were full of vitality and thriving with hope.
During this process, the most basic necessities such as food and clothing were naturally provided by the Five Elements Sect.
According to Chen Mobai’s plan, they needed to establish six new cities in the Ruins, just right to connect all the way to Eastern Yi’s Bright Mirror Immortal City, enabling the setup of a Fifth Rank Seven Star Tian Gang Formation.
Then, having toured the territory in Eastern Yi, Chen Mobai felt it was very suitable for the Tian Gang Thirty-six Star Formation of the Immortal Gate.
The core spiritual pivot of the Immortal Gate’s Sky Curtain Ground Network consists of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.
This Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves formation symbolizes the Tian Gang. The Seventy-Two Blessed Lands symbolize the Terrestrial Evil. When the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation is complete, the one hundred and eight spiritual pivots of Tian Gang and Terrestrial Evil constantly transform, with even some spare pivots ensuring the formation remains alive and dynamic.
However, to arrange the Tian Gang Thirty-six Star Formation, the entire territory of Eastern Yi must be acquired, and along with the Ruins, it would barely meet the requirement of thirty-six spiritual pivots.
Chen Mobai wasn’t in a hurry, instructing Zhou Ye and Song Huangdae to proceed step by step, first completing the Seven Star Tian Gang and then gradually expanding outward with Bright Mirror Immortal City as the core, eventually encompassing the entire Eastern Yi.
Besides the Ruins, the Yun Meng Ze area also belonged entirely to the Five Elements Sect, so Chen Mobai planned two new cities there as well.
The reason for so few is mainly because the cost and time of land reclamation and canal filling are too high.
The formation remains the former Heaven Waterfall and Wind-Rain Tri-Element Formation of Wind-Rain Dock, which, after Chen Mobai’s modification, combined with the Fifth Rank Spirit Vein of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, can reach the fifth rank level.
However, because these formations will integrate into the Sky Curtain Ground Network and become part of it, the actual displayed power will depend on the grade of the Sky Curtain Ground Network.
Chen Mobai awaits the day when his Sky Curtain Ground Network in the Eastern Wilderness completes the Tian Gang and Terrestrial Evil tally, allowing him to possess a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein akin to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
This war has provided exactly that opportunity.
In the reconstruction process, the first priority, naturally, is to ensure the food supply.
Thanks to Zhuo Ming’s comprehensive agricultural reform in the Eastern Wilderness performed long ago, the warehouses in all major counties of the Eastern Wilderness are stocked with abundant grain.
Along with the rich demonic beast resources in the Ruins and the abundant fish in Yun Meng Ze, it becomes quite easy to sustain the food and drink needs of millions.
However, the combined work efficiency of ordinary people doesn’t match that of cultivators.
Thus, in the newly planned Six Cities of the Ruins, the focus is on motivating these East Wu cultivators.
In this aspect, the Five Elements Sect is experienced.
Previously, the merit points on the East Wu Battlefield, after the war, were entirely redeemed per Chen Mobai’s instructions.
Among the exchanged items, the most sought after were the Foundation Establishment Trithings.
After all, ninety-nine percent of the Loose Cultivators in East Wu were in Qi Cultivation.
Their greatest goal and aspiration are merely Foundation Establishment.
Even the ability to exchange for one of the Foundation Establishment Trithings is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
Upon exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Trithings, the Five Elements Sect also promised protection throughout its territory, promising to take decisive actions if any cultivators attempted robbery.
Currently, the secure territories of the Five Elements Sect include the Eastern Wilderness and several Immortal Cities beyond.
For a cultivator to settle in the Eastern Wilderness, they must possess property there.
Those from East Wu who had just exchanged their life for resources were mostly dirt-poor, unable to afford a house.
In this case, the newly established six counties of the Ruins became their destination.
The Five Elements Sect recruited people for constructing the Immortal City.
Requirements for recruits were minimal; even with no skills, a basic object manipulation technique was more useful than dozens of ordinary people.
Upon learning this news, except for rogue cultivators with guilty consciences, virtually all others chose to sign contracts with the Five Elements Sect, opting to do laborious work within the sect’s territory to ensure their safety.
Moreover, the Five Elements Sect provided basic remuneration in addition to ensuring safety.
