Chapter 235: The End of the War
Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Asura World, the Fallen Blood Yaksha swallowed the blood of madness that Jiang Li had thrown at it.
Immediately, it felt something appear in its mind. Its body began to disobey its orders, and it was dizzy and unstable.
The two wings flapped and folded as if they were cramping.
However, in fact, there were two minds fighting for control of the body.
Flying with wings was a very coordinated action. With the third Parallel Mind causing trouble, it swayed and landed to the side.
Jiang Li directly let the first and second Parallel Minds bring the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame to assist.
The Fallen Blood Yaksha race was smarter than the other fish monsters. Their soul fragments were stronger and more complete.
However, it was too difficult for living beings who lived in the Chaotic Lands to have any achievements in their minds and souls.
With Jiang Li’s Parallel Minds joining forces, it was easily suppressed. The third Parallel Mind nibbled and absorbed the soul fragments left behind by the yaksha, quickly growing into the other party’s appearance.
However, at this moment, three Demon Soldiers with signs of stitches had already knocked away a group of monsters and entered the bloody Asura World through the spatial crack.
It was clearly too late to wait until the third Parallel Mind grew to the point where it could control the body.
The Nine Nether clone retreated first, and the sword cultivator clone temporarily took over the Fallen Blood Yaksha’s body.
He looked behind him. Just a few feet away was the blood pool. When he was snatching the body, this yaksha had nearly fallen into the blood pool.
Bright red and smelly blood was surging wantonly in the lake-sized blood pool.
The three Soul Formation realm puppet corpses were already getting closer and closer. If the gourd of high-grade spiritual liquid poured in, his yaksha clone would be ruined on the spot before he could successfully possess it.
Without any hesitation, the first Parallel Mind controlled the yaksha clone to turn around and run.
He did not know how to use the power of chaos or fly with his wings. All he could do was control his body and run out with his legs.
The place he was currently at was a stone building that was similar to a temple. However, the proportion of this building was extremely large. A single tile required him to run more than ten steps to cross.
Such a large temple was clearly prepared for the Asura Lord, who was so huge that if one’s vision was poor, they would not be able to see the other party’s head.
When circling around the huge asura, even Jiang Li, who was sharing his vision, felt a little fearful. This fellow should be very close to a true deity.
Fortunately, the Asura World was synonymous with chaos. No one noticed this strange yaksha that did not need to fly and had to run on two legs.
The yaksha clone ran away from the blood pool with all his might.
Then, a loud bang sounded behind the clone.
Without any time to react, the shockwave wrapped in blood waves ruthlessly struck the back of the Fallen Blood Yaksha.
As more than ten bones were broken, they were swept out of the temple.
The dense high-grade spiritual liquid mixed with the blood of madness, causing a qualitative change with earth-shattering might.
The yaksha clone fainted on the spot.
Under the furious roar of the Asura Lord, the spatial crack that connected the continent of the Nine Provinces could no longer be maintained and slowly healed.
The plan to destroy the blood pool was much easier and smoother than the cultivators imagined.
The monsters of the Asura World were mostly chaotic and without intelligence.
It was even more so when they were attracted by the aura on the other side of the spatial crack.
Even the three Demon Generals that were transformed from Soul Formation realm cultivators only thought that they were sect elders who had escaped by luck.
While they obtained greater strength, they were unknowingly blinded by chaotic emotions that reduced their intelligence.
The three Soul Formation cultivators controlled the corpses and openly passed through the many monsters without arousing any suspicion.
Jiang Li’s rough plan was surprisingly effective.
The three elders directly threw down the gourd that had a time rune set. It was not until they flew back to the spatial crack that the blood pool below would suddenly explode.
The blood pool was blown to pieces. Before the spatial crack closed, the three cultivators’ Essence Souls calmly left the corpses and returned to their bodies.
Due to the fact that the appearance they used were all Demon Soldiers transformed from the elders of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, their characteristics were obvious.
Since he could not find him after running away, the Asura Lord naturally cast his furious gaze at the Demon Generals that the three human cultivators had transformed into.
The Hundred Tempering Mountain Sect Master, Situ Fengzhu, the Hundred Tempering Mountain’s Grand Elder, Ma Zainian, and the remaining Elder of the Black Lotus Divine Sect, Old Demon Black Lotus.
The three of them had just given up their status as humans of the Nine Provinces and arrived at a new world like the Asura World to develop.
Originally, with their strength, they would not end up badly no matter where they went.
But now, looking at the angry eyes of the Asura Lord, they had just arrived at a new place and had already offended the leader. Their future would probably not be too optimistic.
…
The spatial rift slowly closed, and the lightning clouds in the sky finally dispersed. Warm sunlight shone on all the cultivators of the three major sects.
Their exhausted expressions relaxed a little as they received blessings of varying degrees based on merit.
This difficult battle had finally come to an end.
However, victory was not only joyous, but also sorrowful.
In this war, the three great sects paid a very heavy price.
Almost 40% of the elders and disciples below the Golden Core realm were lost.
11 dignified Nascent Soul cultivators had died in this battle.
After all, their opponents were the Hundred Tempering Mountain, which was once one of the four major sects, and the countless monsters of the Asura World.
To be able to destroy the Hundred Tempering Mountain at such a price was already quite a good result.
Fortunately, although the twelve top-notch cultivators continued to fight under unfavorable conditions, all of them were quite injured.
The three elders who possessed the corpses with their Essence Soul were still invaded by chaotic emotions. They needed a long time to recover.
However, it was already fortunate that none of them died.
After the war ended, the alliance army of the three sects did not leave directly.
Instead, they stationed here and rested for a full seven days in the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
After the battle ended, a large number of injured people needed to recuperate.
Some had to clean up the huge battlefield.
Some of the surviving monsters needed to be killed.
The relics of the sect cultivators had to be retrieved and returned to the sect.
The spoils of war of the Hundred Tempering Mountain had to be collected and counted before being distributed according to their contributions.
There were also a large number of precious materials on the bodies of the Asura World monsters and spirit or demon beasts that had died in battle.
In addition, the chaotic power that had seeped through the Asura World and the corpses of the dead monsters had polluted a large area.
Moreover, when the war reached its climax, the cultivators of the three large sects retreated from the battle of the top cultivators. However, the mid and low-level cultivators of the Hundred Tempering Mountain had nowhere to run. They could only hide in the lava passageway inside the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
After the battle, the cultivators of the three major sects discovered that the large number of low-level cultivators had all been contaminated by the power of chaos, and they had all transformed into disgusting and terrible monsters.
These things had to be sealed and eliminated accordingly.
All the polluted creatures, plants, and even soil and water had to be properly cleaned.
This was a huge project.
This was especially true for the cultivators of the alliance army of the three sects. All of them were either injured or exhausted of spiritual qi.
There were not many available people.
At this moment, Jiang Li, who had asked Senior Sister Qi Yu to bandage him up and originally wanted to pretend to be sick and injured to continue boosting his reputation, could only step forward bravely.
He enlightened a large number of Wood Demons and buried the corpses in the entire Hundred Tempering Mountain, while also collecting the spoils of war.
In the eyes of the thrifty Jiang Li, this kind of hard work was a huge job.
With the existence of the Yin Burial Coffin, no one knew how many things he could take away.
During this process, Jiang Li and the others also found the place where the Hundred Tempering Mountain used to train the Medicine Man army.
Inside, there were all kinds of drugs and equipment. It was simply shocking. Who knew what those disciples of the Hundred Tempering Mountain who were chosen immediately experienced to be modified into such biochemical weapons?
This place was ultimately burned down by the Shu Mountain Elders.
However, the one who carried out this order was the sword cultivator clone, Tang Yan, who had also performed well in this war.
Before they were destroyed, Jiang Li had already taken out a portion of the things and stored it in the coffin.
Most cultivators spent the seven days healing their injuries.
After simply cleaning up the battlefield, the entire Hundred Tempering Mountain was sealed by an enormous spirit formation.
It was clearly unrealistic to let these cultivators be responsible for cleaning up after the battle.
In the future, they would need to send other cultivators to spend a long time and effort to restore this polluted place to its original state.
According to the usual routine, as long as news was released, a large number of rogue cultivators and low-level sect cultivators would be happy to come to this battlefield to try their luck.
As long as the remaining work was handed to them, the three great sects did not even need to pay spirit stones. Instead, they could collect admission fees.
After that, the three sects each left a portion of their people to guard this place. The others rode the remaining half of the flying ship back to the mountain.
Due to the Wind Protection Giant walking below, the speed of the fleet was a little slow.
However, halfway through, before the three sects separated, they heard about something.
For some reason, Shu Mountain invited all the famous people and sects in the Great Mountain Region for an Immortal Cultivation Assembly.
…
The Immortal Cultivation Assembly was held at the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.
As the leader of the righteous path in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region, Shu Mountain’s appeal was undoubtedly great. A large number of cultivators came from all directions.
Many small sects were excited to see the Five Elements Immortal Mountain.
In the past, no one would take the initiative to invite them to such a grand event. They had all shamelessly come over to participate.
Now that they had been invited by the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, there was no reason to reject it even if they were thousands of miles apart.
Some large sects were far from as optimistic as them.
Due to the Misty Mountain Range’s Medicine Garden Mystic Realm, the situation in the entire Great Mountain Region had been quite terrible recently.
Even the Hundred Tempering Mountain, one of the four major sects, had been destroyed. They did not believe that such a huge move by Shu Mountain would be good news.
Sure enough, the atmosphere in the venue was much more solemn than they had imagined.
A large number of flying ships with different styles floated outside the venue. Moreover, they pointed their cannons at the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.
These were seven forces from outside the Great Mountain Region. They were powerful and it was obvious that they had ill intentions!
The entire venue was divided into two parts.
On one side sat the entire Great Mountain Region, whether big or small.
The big ones were like the three major sects, the small ones were like cultivation families, and even some unorthodox rogue cultivator alliance had a place in them.
Just as Shenshan Jianyi had said, the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm was the blessing of the entire Great Mountain. It was not something that one or two sects could decide.
On the other hand, the cultivators of the outer regions acted high and mighty, completely disregarding the thousands of cultivators in front of them.
They originally only knew that there were many new faces in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region during this period of time.
However, they did not expect that so many powerful forces would also attempt to encroach on this place.
The cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region, which had always been a remote corner, suddenly received unprecedented attention because of a mystic realm of great value. This situation was probably a disaster but not a blessing.
At this moment, these seven factions appeared in the Immortal Ascension Assembly held by Shu Mountain.
There was no need to think about the reason behind this. It was definitely the Peach Blossom Forest’s Mu family who had joined forces with the other sects in the Eastern Region to pressure the Great Mountain Region.
“Sword Head Shenshan, Sect Masters, I am Mu Chunyang from the Mu family of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest in the Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent.”
“Today, we invited Shu Mountain to convene this meeting to give the Great Mountain Region an opportunity.”
Mu Chunyang’s words sounded like he was offering them a chance. His tone made many of the higher-ups present very dissatisfied.
However, the small sects did not dare to act rashly. Due to the reputation of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, the large sects did not speak.
Seeing that no one answered him, Mu Chunyang did not feel awkward at all. He put on an expression as if they were all useless and continued.
“I believe everyone should know about the Misty Mountain Range’s Medicine Garden Mystic Realm. However, what you do not know is that this is the Medicine Garden ruin of the former Eastern Region sect, the Myriad Profound Sect.”
The many cultivators of the Great Mountain Region looked at each other. They did not know that the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm had such a background.
“Even then, so what?”
“The Myriad Profound Sect has already disappeared for a thousand years. Or could it be that you and the powers behind you are the successors of the Myriad Profound Sect?”
The Scripture Storage Valley’s Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, had personally come today. It seemed that these Eastern Region forces gave them a lot of pressure.
“Hehe, that’s not the case. My Mu family doesn’t care about others’ names.”
“However, the Myriad Slaughter Sect is the reorganized faction after the dissolution of the Myriad Profound Sect. After they heard about the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm of the Great Mountain, they were quite interested!”
Mu Chunyang sneered and threw out another name. This shocked all the cultivators present who were well-informed.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect was an extremely evil and powerful sect.
It was said that the only condition to join the Myriad Slaughter Sect was to personally slaughter ten thousand people and experience a heavenly punishment!
From this rule, one could tell what kind of existence this sect was.
“What do you mean!”
This time, it was Shenshan Jianyi who spoke. Even the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak could not help but become serious when facing such an opponent.
However, Mu Chunyang clearly did not throw this news out to scare people.
“Hand over 70% of the production of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm to my Mu family to manage. We will naturally protect the Great Mountain and ensure a thousand years of peace!”
