“As for Hong He, you needn’t worry about him becoming your rival since he has no interest in becoming the Sect Leader.”

Chen Mobai gave a reason. He knew that Hong He might have some connections with demonic cultivation and might have to be expelled from the Divine Wood Sect in the future for the greater good, but this information could not be revealed to Zhou Wangshen.

“Given his temperament, that sounds about right. But relying on others is not in my nature. I still hope to be no weaker than him in terms of my realm.”

Zhou Wangshen was also a proud man. Even though he had been repeatedly defeated by Chen Mobai and Hong He over the years, he had always managed to maintain a peak status just below these two. Now, having taken over the Zhou family and given the power to rule over Sky Country, he was even more eager to reclaim the glory that belonged to him.

He couldn’t compare with the monstrous Chen Mobai, but Zhou Wangshen still wanted to test his strength against Hong He.

“Then you must work hard. I hope to one day see the miracle of the fusion between the Longevity Scripture and the Longevity Dao Body in you.”

Chen Mobai held Zhou Wangshen in high regard as well, after all, he was a bona fide disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, a descendant of the Zhou family who would never betray the sect. In the future, when Chen Mobai needed to unify the Eastern Wilderness with the power of his sect, Zhou Wangshen would be the general who could expand and guard new territories.

And since Zhou Shengqing was still around, he deliberately stayed in Sky Country for two days to give Zhou Wangshen thorough guidance.

After that, he went to Rock Country!

“Greetings to the Sect Leader!”

E Yun had long been waiting with others. As Chen Mobai stepped out of the Teleportation Array and saw the Northern Abyss City, which now roughly resembled one-tenth of his grand plan, he nodded slightly in approval.

“You’ve had a hard time dealing with the oppression from the Nanxuan Sect over these years.”

Chen Mobai addressed E Yun, who shook his head, indicating that as the Town Guard of Rock Country, it was his duty and responsibility to withstand this pressure.

“What kind of person is Fang Xuanyang?”

Chen Mobai had only heard of the name of this Golden Core Cultivator from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace who had come to replace Xuan Shu but had never met him.

“He is proud in nature but also calm and cold-blooded. He had also contended for the position of Taoist Child, but lost to Xuan Shu. His cultivation level is unfathomably deep, at least above Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.”

E Yun relayed the information he had gathered, and Chen Mobai nodded.

After Fang Xuanyang arrived in the Eastern Wilderness, aside from reestablishing the Nanxuan Sect’s mountain gate at Treasure Color Mountain, he continuously sent disciples under his command towards Sky Country, clandestinely establishing a channel to Yun Meng Ze.

Naturally, this channel did not escape the notice of the Divine Wood Sect. Unfortunately, when Zhou Wangshen of Sky Country wished to intervene and shut it down, he was met with Fang Xuanyang’s personal arrival.

If it weren’t for Fang Xuanyang not wanting to openly break with the Divine Wood Sect, it’s likely that all four Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Sky Country would have perished in that confrontation.

Because of this incident, Fu Zongjue, accompanied by the Purple Sun Puppet, personally made a trip to negotiate with Fang Xuanyang. The two reached a reluctant consensus: the Divine Wood Sect would not interfere with this channel opened by the Nanxuan Sect, and Fang Xuanyang promised that while in the Eastern Wilderness, he would not use his superior strength to act against any Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect.

However, upon analysis afterward, it was clear that Fang Xuanyang had done this deliberately.

It seemed he intended to use this minor issue to reach a non-interference agreement with the Divine Wood Sect, the dominant power in the Eastern Wilderness.

Although Fang Xuanyang was an elder of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, with Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang, two Golden Core Cultivators, having died here and Xuan Shu returning severely wounded to the East Barbarians, it was evident that the Divine Wood Sect would not be deterred by his background.

Should a conflict actually arise between them, just Fu Zongjue alone, with his Purple Sun Puppet, would be enough to fight to a standstill with him. If Chen Mobai or Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff came over, he would probably only be able to flee.

Although Fang Xuanyang, as a Golden Core Cultivator of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, looked down upon the backwater Eastern Wilderness in his heart, faced with reality, he still had to bow his head for the time being.

After the agreement to refrain from attacking each other’s Foundation Establishment Practitioners was reached, both parties began to compete in Rock Country and Sky Country through normal commercial means.

The Xuan Xiao Dao Palace owned a Commerce Association. As a power presided over by Nascent Soul Cultivators, at its peak, its influence reached the entire Eastern Region; it even had dedicated branch stores in the East Land.

However, as the Golden Wind Ancestor’s lifespan neared its end, the influence of the great Xuan Xiao Commerce Association continuously contracted, up to the point where it was only present in the East Barbarians, the Eastern Wilderness, and Dongwu.

Previously, the great Xuan Xiao Commerce Association took advantage of the two countries on Shake Mountain as its base, supporting Ji Zhenshi and had scoured many precious mines and resources from the Eastern Wilderness, including those from Cloud Dream Swamp.

Although Shake Mountain was eventually annihilated, the great Xuan Xiao Commerce Association had already prepared to take over most of the inheritance.

Unfortunately, in the most crucial battle, unable to withstand the Divine Wood Sect’s God of Slaughter, Nanxuan Jing was beheaded on the battlefield, and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace’s painstakingly built influence in Yanxiao over nearly a century was lost in a single stroke, and those precious spirit stone veins and so forth were also snatched back by the Divine Wood Sect.

Subsequently, although Xuan Xiao Dao Palace sent Xuan Shu, a Taoist Child, he encountered Zhou Shengqing, who revealed the strength of Nascent Soul Formation. As a result, the forces that battled with the Divine Wood Sect were also completely wiped out over Giant Tree Ridge.

When Fang Xuanyang was assigned, he had no desire to come to the Eastern Wilderness to clean up the mess.

But with the Golden Wind Ancestor still alive and faced with Nascent Soul Oppression, he could only grit his teeth and come over.
