"The Primordial Chaos has fallen, Penglai has risen, and the cultivation world of the Southern Heaven is once again dominated by the Ten Great Sects!"

News of the establishment of the Penglai sect spread like snowflakes to every corner of southern China.

The ten supreme sects rarely change even once every thousand years.

However, this year saw two major changes.

First, the Hunyuan Sect was defeated and became a middle sect.

Before the cultivation world could even process this shocking news, news broke that a new sect, Penglai, had been established, with an announcement made immediately!

The party will officially start in January.

Prior to this, True Monarch Han Li of the Divine Eyes was at the Qingluo Mine... now renamed Penglai Immortal Mountain, awaiting challenges from various sects.

The world was shaken, and the whole country was in an uproar.

All Nascent Soul cultivators with the capacity to suppress sects were heading there.

Nascent Soul cultivator versus Deity Transformation cultivator,

Such a scene is rarely seen even once in thousands of years.

Let alone a battle like this, even the intervention of a Nascent Soul cultivator is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Demon Realm, Golden Lion King's Palace

The Golden Lion King, "Han Li," dressed in a scholar's robe, held a folding fan in one hand and an intelligence jade slip in the other, a look of interest on his face.

"Wang Lin...Han Li?"

Below stood a general with a lion's head and a human body. Seeing Han Li's expression, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Your Highness Jin Tan, this human has opened another sect. Should we take it?"

"Should we sabotage it? Should we sow discord?"

Han Li, or rather, Jin Tan, who goes by the alias Han Li,

He asked his subordinate a question in return, then revealed a playful smile.

"I've already done so much work, and now it's time for Penglai to fulfill its promise. How can you kick me when I'm down? Wouldn't that make all my efforts go to waste?"

"This subordinate doesn't understand... It's just the sale of some low-grade materials, why does Your Highness need to put in so much effort?"

"Hehehe... It's good that you don't understand. If you all understood, how could I show off my intelligence!"

As he spoke, Kim Tan stood up and looked out at the vast primeval forest.

This forest was exceptionally dense, with each tree reaching hundreds of meters in height.

On this great tree, countless companion spiritual herbs grew densely, emitting various spiritual energies.

It was dazzling and extremely brilliant.

"These spiritual herbs, which can only be used as food, can be exchanged for spirit stones in the human world, and spirit stones can be exchanged for countless rare treasures... As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy anything you can think of!"

Demon cultivators are born with a natural talent for body refinement but cannot refine Qi. To them, these spiritual herbs are merely snacks, having extremely little effect on improving their cultivation.

But with spirit stones, you can buy all sorts of spirit ores, and even various kinds of blood food...

Even more so, humans? They could be of great help to cultivation.

"I still don't understand... If we want something, we can just kill our way through the Demon-Controlling Pass and rob it... Why bother with this damn business?"

"Hmph! You think you can do whatever you want just because you've breached the Demon-Suppressing Pass?"

Kim Tan snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to say more.

"So what if my demon race conquered the entire Tiannan region 30,000 years ago? Aside from the initial bountiful harvest..."

The blood and flesh of cultivators they later raised in captivity were not much more than what they currently obtain at the Demon-Controlling Pass…”

"It's exhausting to explain anything to you!"

Having said that, Jin Tan snapped his folding fan, and a surge of magical power erupted, instantly transforming into a human form identical to himself.

This is the incarnation of the primordial spirit.

Transformation into a Divine Realm!

More than a month has passed, and the Golden Lion King, who was still at the limit of the Nascent Soul stage in the East Sea, has actually advanced to the Divine Transformation stage!

"I'm going to the Demon-Suppressing Pass. Get the goods ready for me as soon as possible!"

"What is Your Highness going to the Demon-Controlling Pass for?"

"do what?"

Kim Tan smiled.

"Of course, we're going to deliver gifts!"

Penglai Island in the East China Sea

The matter of Li Zong also spread like wildfire.

For those at the top, it might not matter.

Whether or not a sect is established, it will not harm their interests in the slightest.

The current president, Wang Lin, has an unknown origin. He is simply outmatched in combat power, and with the invasion of the demon race, he had no other choice.

Even if Wang Lin's fellow disciples established sects on land, they would only be members of a merchant guild, not members of the Penglai Sect, and would not receive any additional benefits...

Of course, the stronger the backing of the chairman, the easier their business will be.

Strictly speaking, this can be considered good news.

But for Yang Xueling's newly recruited junior staff, this news was fantastic.

Now they are not only members of the Chamber of Commerce, but also Ye Feng's direct subordinates, and may even become disciples of the Upper Sect in the future!

Soaring to great heights is just around the corner!

Outside Penglai Island,

"I've arranged everything I need to do; the rest is up to you."

"Okay! Go and help him, I'll take care of things here!"

"Um!"

The airship set sail, heading towards land at full speed.

A mid-grade spiritual treasure flying boat can definitely arrive before the sect's founding ceremony...

only,

Will the Heavenly Sword and the Heavenly Demon wait until that time to launch their attack?

Leaving aside these two cases,

Even the Ghostly Sect was already eager to fight and had set off early.

Perhaps at sea, they dare not act rashly.

But once on land, they arrogantly wanted to establish a sect?

That depends on whether the Ghost Soul Sect agrees!

Southern Continent

Topographically, it can be roughly divided into four areas.

One is the territory of the demon race, which is located in the western region of the south.

Both are wild deserts, belonging to the northern region.

East of the Purple Snow Plain lies a region of mostly plains with few hills, abundant rivers and lakes, and plentiful fish and rice.

However, there are relatively few mountains, and the spiritual energy is evenly distributed.

It is called the Southern and Eastern Regions.

The third location is west of the Purple Snow Plain, where the Hunyuan, Chunyang, and Wuji sects are situated.

This area is characterized by rolling hills and abundant medicinal herbs, and is known as the central part of southern China.

The Qingluo Mine where Ye Feng was located, and the three areas he designated, roughly combined the characteristics of both the Middle East and the Middle East.

Above it flows the Luo River, below it flows the Heng River, and in between lies a swamp.

There are plains to the east and mountains to the west, and many ordinary people live there.

It can be said that, apart from other places of superior lineage, this is an excellent place to establish a sect.

Five days have passed since Ye Feng's battle against the three talents of Chunyang Palace.

Ye Feng had been sitting on a mountaintop facing south.

For five days, it remained motionless, like a stone sculpture.

Even when Xiao Xuan told him that the Luoshui Sect had been attacked by the Hunyuan traitor, he didn't react at all.

To outsiders, he always just sat there.

But in reality, it was just an illusion created by an earth-elemental nascent soul in conjunction with Thousand Illusions.

His real body had already been in the cultivation space for a full five hundred days!

The crowd watching outside has now grown to over a hundred.

Everyone is waiting for this once-in-a-millennium battle...

With only a little over half a month until the opening date,

According to unwritten rules, if the opposing sect does not come to challenge at this time,

That would be the formal recognition of the status of the Penglai Sect.

Unless it's a personal grudge that's irreconcilable, they won't easily take action again!

At this moment, the area facing the characters "Penglai" has been transformed into a lake spanning dozens of miles, now filled with water after the battle with the Three Talents True Lord, where dozens of mountain peaks had been leveled.

Across the lake, on the mountain peaks, small groups of people were also gathered.

Those who knew each other would gather together, drink tea, and chat.

If there are people I don't know well, I'll sit alone for a few days...

For a Nascent Soul cultivator with a lifespan of a thousand years, a few days of waiting is nothing at all!

"I don't know where this Penglai Immortal Sect came from. First, it pacified the East Sea, and now it has directly established a superior sect. Its strength is truly unfathomable!"

"Could they be from the Central Continent?"

"What kind of cultivation conditions are there in the Central Continent? How could they possibly come to this godforsaken place?"

Although none of them had ever been to the Central Continent, they had heard many legends about it from other sects and some secret realms.

The rise of the Penglai Sect was so mysterious and unpredictable that people had such a speculation.

While everyone was discussing it,

The southern sky suddenly turned gray.

A torrent of energy surged toward this place...

Once everyone could see clearly, they scattered and hid.

There, a vast expanse of ghosts!

"Gah... Gah... Penglai Sect? I, Youyue, have come to seek your guidance!"
