Chapter 313: Chapter 263: Forging the Dharma Seal, Fivefold Thunderstrike Seal! (Double-Length)
Cyan Peak Daoist School, these days, is extremely restless.
Even the newly admitted Qi Refining Disciples could sense an unusual atmosphere.
The entire Daoist School had begun to bustle with activity.
Generally speaking, cultivators value tranquility and inactivity, and sects are usually serene and quiet. However, these days, the entire Cyan Peak Daoist School was rather noisy, bustling with activity.
First, there was the campaign against the Eight Rivers Demon Race, with the mobilization of numerous disciples, creating a grand momentum.
Following that was the occupation of Demon Island, the domestication of the Demon Race, the mining of Spirit Ore, and the cultivation of Spirit Fields, which required a massive workforce, involving nearly all the disciples.
Every day, a large number of Escape Lights and Flying Dharma Artifacts traveled back and forth over the school.
The conquest of a new territory meant new resources.
The extraction of new resources required new manpower.
The Fate Hall issued numerous tasks daily, recruiting disciples, with extremely generous rewards.
"On Golden Iron Island, we need to collect the excrement of the Iron-Producing Giant Demon, requiring thirty Qi Refining Disciples, ten merit points per day, and thirty Spirit Stones!"
"On Primordial Crystal Island, we need to collect the scales shed by the Primordial Crystal Crocodile, requiring forty Qi Refining Disciples, ten merit points per day, and thirty-five Spirit Stones!"
The profits brought by war were enormous.
In the past, Qi Refining Disciples had to venture arduously to earn Spirit Stones. Now, they only needed to collect excrement or pick up scales, which was unimaginable before.
"Be careful!"
"Do not damage the Spirit Pillar, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences!"
Besides assimilating the resources of the Eight Rivers Demon Race, the school was also engaging in significant construction.
A huge Treasure Boat, over a hundred yards long and several dozen yards high, was seen slowly sailing into the mountain gate of Cyan Peak Daoist School, along the mighty river waters.
Aboard the Treasure Boat was an enormous Spirit Pillar, almost spanning the entire cabin.
The Spirit Pillar was densely inscribed with silver Array Patterns, resembling countless silver Simurgh Phoenixes entwined together, causing spatial disturbances and slight tremors, exuding an unspeakable Power of Space.
Under this power, the Treasure Boat’s levitation capability was restricted, allowing it to only proceed slowly by water.
And this was just the beginning, as more than ten Treasure Boats followed behind, radiating Spiritual Light, all heading towards the Cyan Peak Daoist School.
The Nine Rivers Marsh, vast and boundless, resembled a vast ocean, yet the arrival of more than a dozen hundred-yard-long Treasure Boats was still a breathtaking scene.
Meanwhile, in the sky, numerous Flying Dharma Boats filled with cargo flew in like a flock of geese.
The South Mountain Pavilion has arrived!
Underneath the Nine Rivers Marsh, there was a vast cluster of islands where the Spirit Meridian gently rippled, seemingly having just been moved there.
This was the Clan Guardian Spirit Island of the Eight Rivers Demon Race, the Three-Eyed Cyan Snake Clan’s long-standing base, the Void Nether Island.
The Three-Eyed Cyan Snake, naturally adept in Escape Techniques and skilled in controlling wind and electricity, excelled in Void Shifting and was born with three eyes capable of seeing through most of the illusory forces between heaven and earth, possessing formidable power.
Yet, compared to the Cyan Peak Daoist School, it was still insignificant.
After struggling desperately, the Great Demon perished, and the Spirit Island was moved to the Cyan Peak Daoist School for setting up the Void Shifting Array.
The Void Nether Island contained a Void Nether Spiritual Vein, permeated with the Power of Space, making it the most suitable location for constructing the Void Shifting Array.
"It seems like everything is within the Dean’s calculations..."
On Purple Sun Peak, Gu Yuan looked at the Void Nether Island in the distance, bustling with construction, and couldn’t help but sigh.
The destruction of the Eight Rivers, the subjugation of the South Mountain Pavilion, the opening of trade routes, and connecting with the East Mountain Realm, all proceeded smoothly with almost no resistance.
From start to finish, the Ink Flood Dragon Demon King of the Great River never made an appearance, and the so-called Daoist Embryo offering of the South Mountain Pavilion didn’t intervene at all.
Everything went according to the wishes of the Cyan Peak Daoist School.
No one would believe there were no plans behind the scenes.
"The Dean’s accomplishment of the Daoist Embryo has been nearly a millennium, having these means is unsurprising."
"However, the South Mountain Domain does not solely consist of our Daoist School as a Tier Four power. Without a True Immortal, soon a storm might come, not knowing if it’s a blessing or a curse..."
Sword Fox Immortal stood beside Gu Yuan and couldn’t help but sigh upon hearing this.
"Senior Sister, be cautious on this journey to the East Mountain Realm, and ensure your own safety!"
Speaking of calamities, Gu Yuan immediately grew serious and turned to Sword Fox Immortal.
Opening trade routes is not an easy task.
Even though Master Yunyang already had plans and had reached an agreement with another Daoist Embryo Master in the East Mountain Realm, after the Teleportation Array is established, Golden Core Cultivators must lead the way to establish a foothold.
This matter was personally decreed by Master Yuan Yang, indisputable, with Master Tiandou as the main leader, Sword Fox Immortal as the assistant, accompanied by Master Biyun and Master of Mount Jing, one Late Stage Golden Core, three Mid-Stage Golden Core, a total of four Great Cultivators, traveling together.
"It’s no problem. Although the East Mountain Realm is vast and more prosperous and expansive than our South Mountain Domain, my strength is sufficient for self-protection, especially with Senior Brother Tiandou accompanying."
"It’s just opening trade routes, the Dean has already planned, I suppose there won’t be many obstacles."
Sword Fox Immortal felt a warmth in her heart, turning to smile lightly.
"This Taiyin Spirit Forging Seal and Taiyin Godslaying Skill are profound and mysterious techniques, not inferior to the Dharma Seals of our Daoist School. Senior Sister, you should expedite the refinement, it might prove useful."
Gu Yuan did not say much more, merely taking out two Jade Scrolls and handing them to Sword Fox Immortal.
The reason the two of them were discussing on Purple Sun Peak was to jointly comprehend the two newly acquired Dharma Seals. At this moment, their insights and the method of refining the Dharma Seals were all inscribed by Gu Yuan into the Jade Scrolls.
