I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 927: Chapter 511: Eastern Wilderness Reaction Chapter 927: Chapter 511: Eastern Wilderness Reaction “Very well, very well, since you Liu Jia Mountain are so aware of the times, then I will keep my word and spare your lives. From now on, just seal the mountain for cultivation.”

Fu Zongjue laughed heartily upon seeing Sect Leader Xu Shengbing of Liu Jia Mountain indeed open the Mountain Protection Array and send up all the hundreds of scrolls of puppet knowledge that had been passed down for a thousand years.

An Jinghui immediately went up to check the puppet inheritance. He was the head of the Puppet Division in the Divine Wood Sect and the most knowledgeable in these matters present, second only to Fu Zongjue himself.

After confirming there were no issues, he took out a Storage Bag, packed all the hundreds of books and scrolls, and then returned to Fu Zongjue’s side, respectfully handing them over.

“Let’s go!”

Fu Zongjue did not linger a step longer. He rode his Escaping Light and led the Divine Wood Sect away from Liu Jia Mountain.

Only after watching their figures disappear did Xu Shengbing raise his head, a flash of resentment crossing his eyes.

But without a Golden Core Cultivator holding the fort, how could they resist the evil alliance of forces centered around the Divine Wood Sect from the Eastern Wilderness?

In the battle at Rock Country, Divine Wood Sect gained another Core Formation Cultivator, while Nanxuan Sect, which Liu Jia Mountain considered their reliance, lost both of their two Golden Core Cultivators—one dead, one fled—and even their own old ancestor died under Mo Douguang’s sword.

Now, not to mention Liu Jia Mountain, even the Five Elements Sect must be in utter shock.

In just over twenty years, the seemingly balanced strength of both parties had been reversed in an instant.

And the key was that sword cultivation genius named Chen Guixian.

If only they had known there was such a genius among the loose cultivators in the Southstream Market, they should have seized him and brought him back to Liu Jia Mountain at that time.

Xu Shengbing thought back to thirty years ago when, in search of a suitable Ghost Fetus in the Womb for one of his ancestors who had turned to Ghost Cultivation, he traveled all over the Eastern Wilderness. He had passed by the Southstream Market in Yun Country and had marked a decent Loose Cultivator.

If he had spent more time around Southstream Market back then, perhaps he would have encountered the astounding Chen Guixian.

After all, the brilliance of a genius cannot be concealed. Xu Shengbing, in his search for Furnace materials for resurrecting the dead, had specifically cultivated the Art of Spiritual Eyes, and he was confident that had he seen Chen Guixian, he would have fully perceived the latter’s extraordinary sword cultivation talent.

It was a pity that he had been lax back then—after teaching Lu Shu cultivation techniques for half a year, he hurried off to Rain Country to find an old flame.

If he had remained for another year or so, it would have been Liu Jia Mountain that had an extra Golden Core Cultivator by now.

Perhaps they would have been on the offensive against Five Elements Sect by now.

“Sect Leader…”

As Xu Shengbing was suffocating with heartache, some Elders of Liu Jia Mountain also walked over with looks of sadness and anger on their faces, filled with the color of humiliation.

“All go into closed-door cultivation. Hereafter, if you need to leave the mountain, do not say that you are from Liu Jia Mountain.”

Upon hearing Xu Shengbing’s words, some Elders with more impetuous characters could no longer bear it and began to criticize him for surrendering the Sect’s thousand-year inheritance to others.

“Even if Liu Jia Mountain perishes, all these inheritances should be destroyed rather than allowing Divine Wood Sect to grow stronger.”

Clearly, there were not a few Elders of Liu Jia Mountain who harbored such thoughts, but Xu Shengbing was the Sect Leader because he weighed pros and cons better in his actions.

“As long as Liu Jia Mountain stands, there’s hope for the Sect to produce another Core Formation Cultivator. Compared to the inheritance, I find this to be much more important.”

Xu Shengbing pointed at the mountain beneath them. This was one of the rare Fourth Grade Spirit Veins in the Eastern Wilderness, even if just fourth-grade lower class, it was the foundation that had sustained a continuous line of Golden Core Cultivators in Liu Jia Mountain for a thousand years.

As long as the Spirit Vein exists, so does a future.

If they even lost the Spirit Vein, then Liu Jia Mountain, even if they were to flee to the East Barbarians, would gradually disintegrate and become dust in history.

“Hmph, I cannot agree with your perspective…”

An Elder in the late phase of Foundation Establishment, with a cold look in his eyes, spoke out. Under his rallying cry, nearly a quarter of the people opposed Xu Shengbing.

“Yu Changjian, you and I entered the Sect at the same time, yet you have been suppressed by me for a lifetime. You’ve been holding back this grievance for over a hundred years, haven’t you? Is it a coup you want now?”

Xu Shengbing remained calm and collected as he watched Yu Changjian, even as most in the Sect looked at him with doubt.

This composure caused Yu Changjian to waver, but this was the best opportunity in a hundred years to take control of Liu Jia Mountain.

With the oppressive Nan Shi Dao dead, and with Xu Shengbing having just capitulated and shamed the Sect under Fu Zongjue’s coercion, the timing, location, and support were all in his favor. If he couldn’t overthrow Xu Shengbing from his position of Sect Leader now, then he deserved to fail for a lifetime.

“I respectfully ask the Sect Leader to abdicate!”

After considering all the consequences, Yu Changjian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and uttered those words to Xu Shengbing.

…

It was a month later when Chen Mobai heard about the overthrow of the Sect Leader of Liu Jia Mountain and the ascension of a new leader.

Fu Zongjue, immediately after acquiring the puppet inheritance, had returned to Giant Tree Ridge, so it fell to Chen Mobai to arrange the management of territories across the lands of Rock Country, Sky Country, and Rainbow Country.

Since the Divine Wood Sect was stretched thin, they had to cooperate for the time being with local Cultivator Families and other powers, nominally taking a leading position, but in reality, the operation of Fang Markets, development of ore resources, and so on, were all entrusted to others.

Of course, the most precious resources like Spirit Stone Mines would definitely be kept in their own hands after driving out the Nanxuan Sect.
