I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 793: Chapter 454 Graduation_1 Chapter 793: Chapter 454 Graduation_1 The Beiyuan Immortal City was being built in full swing according to Chen Mobai’s plan.

On the other side, Nanxuan Jing led their disciples to start building a branch of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace here.

Having previously consulted with the Grand Elder, he personally carved the words “Nanxuan Sect” on the large stone at the entrance.

As for coming to the Eastern Wasteland, Nanxuan Jing had his own plans.

Among the nine Golden Core cultivators in the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he was in the middle stage of the Core Formation with an age of three hundred, ranking mediocre.

If things continued this way, he had no hope of achieving Nascent Soul Formation in this lifetime.

The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, a major sect that has produced several generations of Nascent Soul cultivators, naturally has its own insights into Nascent Soul Formation. The most crucial of which is to achieve Perfect Core Formation before the age of three hundred in order to have the highest hope for Nascent Soul Formation.

According to this rule, Nanxuan Jing no longer qualified to gain Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects within the Palace.

But he was not willing to live out his days in obscurity, eventually dying a natural death.

So, heeding Zhao Xuankang’s persuasion, he volunteered to establish a branch in the Eastern Wasteland.

If he could rely on the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to collect all the resources of the Eastern Wasteland, he felt that he would still have a chance to attempt Nascent Soul Formation in this life.

Regrettably, things didn’t go as planned for him and Zhao Xuankang.

They originally planned to use the war between the Shake Mountain and the Divine Wood Sect to provoke the seven major factions of the Eastern Wasteland into the fray. Ideally, they wanted it to evolve into a standoff between two large camps, while they would support the weaker Shake Mountain from behind, maintaining balance between the two camps, to bleed the Eastern Wasteland dry.

Once the seven major factions of the Eastern Wasteland had exhausted each other, they would then make their move, either seizing the entire Eastern Wasteland if they had the strength, or at least destroy the Divine Wood Sect first to prevent Zhou Shengqing’s Nascent Soul Formation.

Unfortunately, their bleed-dry policy was foiled by a blitzkrieg tactic from the Divine Wood Sect right from the start.

Where did things go wrong?

After Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing returned and analyzed the entire war, they finally found the key to the problem.

It was Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi from the front-line battlefield of the Lei Nation and Rock Country border, who they thought could surely suppress the Divine Wood Sect, were decapitated by Chen Guixian from the Divine Wood Sect with two slashes of his sword.

After that, the Divine Wood Sect took the initiative, they even had the resources to send extra troops into the territory of the Rock Country to stir up trouble.

With a fire in their backyard and Ji Zhenshi blocked at the gate by Zhou Shengqing’s trio, Ji Dingjin, the commander of the frontline battlefield, had no choice but to make a desperate attack, trying to take Chen Guixian down with his own life.

But the result was a complete failure.

Not only was Ji Dingjin beheaded, the army composed of cultivators from both the Rock Country and Sky Country was routed by the Divine Wood Sect and scattered in a rout.

Afterwards, it was a relentless pursuit by the Divine Wood Sect. Although the Shake Mountain had its fair share of brave cultivators attempting to hold the Fang Market, protected by a large formation, to stall the enemy’s advance.

But they were as helpless as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, they eventually fell and the cities became ruins.

Exhausted after three assaults, the situation crumbled completely. The cowardly cultivator families in the Rock Country territory began to turn against the Shake Mountain in the face of the enemy, surrendering their cities.

With this, the Shake Mountain’s three-hundred-year rule in the two countries disintegrated.

When the Divine Wood Sect army besieged the Shake Mountain’s headquarters, the outcome was already clear.

If the rest of the major factions in the Eastern Wasteland did not attack the Divine Wood Sect’s home base in a mission to rescue the besieged, relying solely on them, they were already unable to turn the tide.

Clearly, the Golden Core cultivators from the other major factions of the Eastern Wasteland, who didn’t understand the principle of ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold’, simply watched as the Divine Wood Sect annexed the Shake Mountain.

When Zhao Xuankang received the news, he could only sigh.

However, the plan to annex the Eastern Wasteland and turn it into the backyard of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still needed to continue.

So he and Nanxuan Jing quickly pressurized using the contract Ji Zhenshi signed previously, along with the name of the Grand Elder and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, forcefully snatching the Shake Mountain’s three most precious mines, thereby planting the Nanxuan Sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

Next, it would depend on their capabilities.

They would see if they could form alliances and join forces with the enemies of the Divine Wood Sect, stirring up the water again. If so, they could seize the Eastern Wasteland without the aid of the main forces of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang were rather confident about this.

Because Liu Jia Mountain was their natural ally, their relationship was even closer than that with the Shake Mountain.

The Snow-blowing Palace’s territorial location was between them and the Divine Wood Sect. With a little pressuring and the name of their Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace as leverage, they could probably win them over.

As for the Five Elements Sect, they harbored a deep hatred towards the Divine Wood Sect. Zhou Ye, presumably, would be more than willing to join them if their only goal was to destroy the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff.

Zhao Xuankang has already started working on this.

As for him, Nanxuan Jing, his task was to establish the Nanxuan Sect in the Rock Country and, with his great talents, gradually squeeze out the Divine Wood Sect from here until they’re completely ousted.

Nanxuan Jing was full of confidence about this.

Because he didn’t only bring his three hundred disciples, but also the Jiao family and other cultivator families who fled to the East Barbarians after the fall of Shake Mountain.
