I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 794: Chapter 454 Graduation_2 Chapter 794: Chapter 454 Graduation_2 Originally, these families were among the most prominent clans, only second to the Ji family, in the Rock Country. Together, they controlled nearly half of the Fang Market’s trade in ores.

Although the Divine Wood Sect had seized the Mountain Shaker Peak and caused a major shake-up in the Rock Country’s Immortal Cultivation World, Nanxuan Jing knew all too well the nature of those Loose Cultivators.

If they were provided with sufficient Spirit Stones and resources, they would crawl back like dogs, into the Fang Markets controlled by the Jiao family and other such families.

Nanxuan Jing reevaluated his plan to drive out the Divine Wood Sect once more. Once he was sure there were no issues, he fervently summoned the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three major families – the Jiao, He, and Qu families – ordering them to act according to opportunities and rebuild the marketplaces that had been turned into ruins.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators of the three major families were also holding a grudge, eager to leverage the power of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to carry out their revenge against the Divine Wood Sect.

They quickly obeyed the order, leading their families’ elites back to their homelands.

The homelands they originated from were all Rank-3 Spirit Vein territories.

The Jiao family was in the most awkward position, as their Rank-3 Spirit Vein territory was right here at the Treasure Color Mountain, which was now occupied by the Nanxuan Sect.

Nanxuan Jing did suggest that the Jiao family merge into the Nanxuan Sect, as he was worried about the insufficient numbers of disciples in his own Sect.

The patriarch of the Jiao family considered it and selected twenty of the younger generation from his family to join the Nanxuan Sect. However, he took the rest of them to the spiritual mountain residence of another family.

Although that place only had upper-ranking Rank-2 Spirit Veins, it was sufficient for Qi Practitioners.

As for the patriarch of the Jiao family, Jiao Deyun, he was over two hundred years old and didn’t have much life left. He also had no intention of improving his cultivation level.

All he wanted was to quietly support his family in the remaining years of his life, making sure at least, the Jiao family would not perish under his watch.

Of course, if he could take revenge on the Divine Wood Sect, the prime culprit for his family’s downfall, he was willing to risk his old life for it.

After saying farewell to Nanxuan Jing, Jiao Deyun led the hundred or so remaining members of his family to Red Shadow Mountain, where their retreat was located, amid this brutal war.

When he flew over, he saw a group of about 10 rogue cultivators attacking the Large Formation of Red Shadow Mountain.

The family cultivators left here were a few white-haired elderly Qi Practitioners from the Jiao family. They had little life left and chose to stay behind instead of being uprooted, after the Divine Wood Sect’s army invaded the Rock Country.

Unfortunately, after the name of the Jiao’s family was gone, this Rank-2 Spirit Mountain became a treasure in the eyes of Loose Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators.

If Jiao Deyun had come a few days later, Red Shadow Mountain would probably have been breached and looted by these rogue cultivators.

“How dare you!”

With that angry shout, Jiao Deyun produced a red spear, showcasing his formidable strength as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and killed the leading rogue cultivator instantly.

Seeing this, the other rogue cultivators immediately scattered.

However, the elite Jiao family cultivators, who had followed Jiao Deyun from the floating airship, surrounded these rogue cultivators using their numerical advantage. They had cruel expressions on their faces, intending to trap them and push them into a corner gradually.

“Old Ancestor, I didn’t expect to see you again in this life.”

At this time, the formation of Red Shadow Mountain opened, and an old man on the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation from the Jiao family, who had stayed behind, walked out. Seeing Jiao Deyun, he was overwhelmed with emotions and broke into tears.

He had already accepted his fate, having no idea that there would be such a quick turn of events.

“Don’t worry, things will get better. Since we’re back, we’ll certainly take back everything that once belonged to us from the Divine Wood Sect.”

Jiao Deyun comforted his weeping grandson while nurturing a growing hatred for the Divine Wood Sect in his heart.

At this moment, with the last scream, all the rogue cultivators who had attacked Red Shadow Mountain were killed by the Jiao family cultivators.

Not far away, on the top of a mountain sat three people in the shadows of a big tree. The leader of the group held a symbol for concealment in his hand, and they had watched the whole event unfold.

“There’s no doubt about it; the Jiao family is in cahoots with Nanxuan Jing.”

These three were Zhou Wangshen, Yu Lian, and Liang Lingzhen.

“Should we try to remove them?”

Liang Lingzhen asked, as they regarded Zhou Wangshen as their leader.

“The Formation of the Red Shadow Mountain is powerful. If we three attack, it would give Jiao Deyun enough time for the reinforcements from the Nanxuan sect to come. Let’s investigate the He family and the Qu family more.”

Zhou Wangshen shook his head.

“He will leave the Red Shadow Mountain one day, and I think we can ambush him on his way.”

At that moment, Yu Lian suddenly spoke up.

“That way, the timing is too uncertain. Right now, the top priority is the construction of Northern Abyss City. Besides, disciple Chen also said that we should try not to do anything that can trigger a conflict with the Nanxuan sect.”

“As for me, I’ll stay. Jiao Deyun clearly has a strong hatred for our Divine Wood Sect. It would be better to eliminate him sooner rather than later.”

Hearing what Yu Lian said, Zhou Wangshen and Liang Lingzhen shared a surprising look.

They thought that this junior brother had a strong killing intent.

“Although Jiao Deyun is old, he is a cultivator at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It is safer for the three of us to take action. So, junior brother, you should stay and monitor him. Notify us as soon as you find a perfect opportunity.”

Zhou Wangshen, recalling the situation with Yu Lian obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, roughly understood his state of mind, gently nodded, and finally added one more sentence to prevent him from taking unnecessary risks.

“Do not force it. You and I still have ample time for cultivation. It’s not worth taking risks for this old fellow.”

After saying this, Zhou Wangshen and Liang Lingzhen left.

Yu Lian, his face stern, watched Jiao Deyun, who had already entered the Red Shadow Mountain, then silently sat down.

Seven days later, Chen Mobai, who was presiding over the relocation of the Divine Wood Sect’s army to Northern Abyss City, received a call from Zhou Wangshen.

The ancestor of the Jiao family, Jiao Deyun, died in their joint attack.

Now, they are keeping an eye on the ancestors of the He family and the Qu family. Once an opportunity presents, they will attack. But after Jiao Deyun died, the two ancestors have never left the Formation of their own clans.

“Didn’t I say we should avoid things that might cause conflict?”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned.

“This… Jiao Deyun was full of resentment towards our Divine Wood Sect. If we didn’t kill him and let him help the Nanxuan sect rebuild the Treasure Color Market, it will pose a threat to our soon-to-be-established Northern Abyss City.”

Zhou Wangshen explained. Killing Jiao Deyun seemed quite common in the Eastern Wilderness, considering it was a matter of extermination, so he did not report it to Chen Mobai.

“Even if Northern Abyss City is built according to my plans and system, it wouldn’t be able to compete with my city, even if the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to relocate their city here…Anyway, since he has already been killed, let it be. All three of you should return now. If you act any further, I fear you might fall into the trap of the Nanxuan sect.”

Chen Mobai was not entirely accustomed to the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, but since Jiao Deyun was dead, he would not blame Zhou Wangshen and the others.

After all, from the perspective of the Sect, they had performed merit.

I just hope it will not provoke a reaction from the Nanxuan Sect.

However, Nanxuan Jing’s reaction was more tranquil than Chen Mobai had anticipated. It was as if he considered that Jiao Deyun had died of old age, and right after he died, he directly drafted the elite cultivators of the Jiao family into the the Nanxuan Sect.

Then, he began to concentrate on reopening Treasure Color Market.

To make a name for himself, Nanxuan Jing even spread rumors that a year later, an auction would be held at Treasure Color Market, with a Foundation Building Pill as the grand finale.

But to get auction qualifications, one must have a year’s experience of residing in the Treasure Color Market.

After hearing this news, the Loose Cultivators in the Five Willows Market were understandably restless, and those at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation basically chose to race to the Treasure Color Market.

Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only sigh, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, having the opportunity to auction Foundation Building Pills, naturally has advantages.

However, he did not lose his measure, still commanding the Sect Disciples to establish Northern Abyss City.

Time flew by, and the end of the year arrived.

Chen Mobai, engrossed in the city’s construction, reluctantly set aside his work and returned to the sect.

Because he was going to graduate!
