Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Tower ships stretched across the sky, spanning a hundred miles.

After nearly a year of preparation, all the supplies were gathered, and the disciples participating in the expedition had fully assembled, crowding the massive tower ships!

In front of the tower ships, several steel fortresses floated and controlled the skies, slowly flying.

These were War Fortresses forged by the Divine Weapon Family, commissioned by the Beast Taming Sect.

The Divine Weapon Family originally mainly used Spiritual Bronze to forge fortresses because this material was relatively cheaper.

But the Beast Taming Sect’s Artifact Refining Materials were mostly obtained from Otherworlds, with a large amount coming from the Red Flame Demon Realm. Luo Zhancheng, leading the Beastman Kingdom, brought over various materials from that continent as well.

Naturally, the Divine Weapon Family based their forging on the materials provided by the Beast Taming Sect, resulting in several steel fortresses of different colors—green, yellow, white, red, black—each War Fortress large and uniquely shaped.

Of course, the Beast Taming Sect had more than just these few War Fortresses; however, not all were deployed, as several were reserved for the next war.

These five War Fortresses, along with the numerous tower ships behind them, and the millions of Elders and disciples, constituted the massive Cultivator Army of the Beast Taming Sect for this expedition.

Further back were the smaller Sects allied with the Beast Taming Sect, among which the Fiery Fire Sect and several other medium-sized Sects held the most power. Even the dozens of small Sects each had their unique legacies, forming a formidable alliance.

These Sects had profited immensely from the last expedition. Over the years since the war, they had reaped a wealth of resources from their allotted territories. Although they could not compare to the major Sects like the Beast Taming Sect, their Sect strength had grown.

Over the years, not only had they recruited more disciples than before, but most of these Sects also had one or two Great Cultivators break through their realms to Immortal Dao. Their power and foundations had strengthened, unlike initially when many small Sects had only one Immortal keeping watch, leaving the Sect vulnerable during an expedition!

Hence, these Sects, having tasted victory, naturally followed closely in the footsteps of the Beast Taming Sect. Even the weakest of these small Sects dispatched a True Immortal to the expedition, hoping to garner more benefits.

Thus, upon hearing that the Beast Taming Sect was marshaling Cultivators to form an army for an Otherworld expedition, they immediately mobilized most of their forces to join, swearing to follow the Beast Taming Sect through thick and thin!

Even though they knew that the Beast Taming Sect was not the main leader of this expedition, there was no hesitation to travel to the East Domain.

After all, they had developed a camaraderie with the Ghost Controlling Sect during the last expedition. Besides, with the Beast Taming Sect present, how could they suffer any losses?

In the end, they were all vassal forces of the Beast Taming Sect, looking to it for direction when abroad.

During the expeditions undertaken by the Major Sects, they would be seen as part of the Beast Taming Sect’s forces. As long as the Beast Taming Sect still had use for them in the future, they would not be treated unfairly.

Because of their eagerness, the Beast Taming Sect’s departing troops swelled considerably in size.

The originally million-strong Cultivator Army suddenly reached over two million!

This single wave alone had caught up with the total number of people dispatched to the Red Flame Demon Realm in the last expedition.

And this was without the Beast Taming Sect going all out and after persuading the various Sects to retain some staff.

After all, the Beast Taming Sect had to consider fighting on two fronts, and it would be troublesome if they ran short of hands!

Now, with the Gui Ling Ancestor far in the Central Region, Elder Kongkong gone to another Otherworld to claim the Rainbow Bridge, and the Jue Tian Ancestor needed to preside over the Mountain Gate and could not leave temporarily, Elder Liuling, who was originally prepared to lead the expedition, was still in another Otherworld and thus unable to pilot the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven, leaving no opportunity for slacking. Consequently, the Beast Taming Sect had to team up with Cultivators from other Sects to head for the East Domain.

At this moment, the real importance of a Cave Heaven Treasure was revealed.

With a Cave Heaven Treasure, it was possible to transport a vast army of millions of Cultivators inside.

Without a Cave Heaven Treasure, they would have to rely on various large-scale Flying Magical Treasures to transport the Cultivator Army, not only much slower but also risking various dangers if they ventured into the Void.

After all, the Void was generally silent and empty, but that didn’t mean it was without danger. If they encountered a spatial storm and did not dodge in time, it would certainly lead to significant losses for the expeditionary army.

Even intangible Void Giant Beasts could cause damage to the group. Some of these beasts were so large that ordinary Cultivators who fell into them and lost their way could end up trapped within their bodies, eventually digested.

Even if they spent months or even years escaping from the Void Giant Beast’s body, they would likely have lost contact with the main troops since these beasts, unless ready to turn from incorporeal to corporal and evolve into worlds, wandered the Void daily, absorbing various substances to strengthen themselves.

Then, wandering alone in the Void without a Star Map, where could they go?

The troops had embarked!

The scale of the expedition this time even surpassed the previous campaign against the Red Flame Demon Realm. However, because it was not led by the Beast Taming Sect, and even Elder Liuling, who was supposed to lead the team, had not yet returned, the ceremony was much simpler and did not delay any time. The mighty army of cultivators directly flew towards the Eastern Domain.

Such a vast cultivator army, shrouding the sky and covering the earth, truly attracted people’s attention. Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

And it took them merely three days of travel before they encountered the Five Poisons Sect’s team halfway.

Both sides had already agreed to meet here and act together.

After joining forces, the troops became even more massive. The number of minor sects affiliated with the Five Poisons Sect was also exceedingly large, and sects like the Poison Dragon Sect, Heavenly Silkworm Sect, Golden Centipede Palace, Fuyou Temple, and the Twin Immortal Sects of Southern Pest and Northern Locust, all possessed considerable strength.

Of course, like the Five Poisons Sect, they were all regarded as heterodox and unorthodox by the direct transmission of orthodox Daoism, not part of the mainstream.

Strictly speaking, not only the Five Poisons Sect but even the Beast Taming Sect, the Ghost Controlling Sect, and even the Ten Directions Ghost City in the Northern Domain, were initially treated as heterodox and unorthodox by orthodox cultivators.

After all, whether it was poison refining or insect repelling, beast taming, or enslaving ghosts, they ultimately relied on trickery, greatly differing from the direct path to the Dao provided by Daoism.

However, despite being considered heterodox, one could not deny their unique abilities. Often, orthodox cultivators, when fighting them, would find themselves in an embarrassing and difficult position due to their unorthodox methods.

Even when the Ten Directions Ghost City rose to power, and Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang became one of the five most prominent figures in the entire Biluo Cultivation Realm, during the Ancient Great Tribulation, he attacked the Netherworld Hell and plundered countless treasures and resources, even taking a segment of the Netherworld itself.

With such achievements, who would dare regard it as heterodoxy?

This also lent greater prestige to the Ghost Controlling Sect.

The Beast Taming Sect was also revered because its founding ancestor had accrued extraordinary merit, displaying tremendous valor by creating a technique to use beast-taming against the Demon Clan and sacrificing his own life in the key battle for the victory of the Cultivation World.

Although these feats were not as great as those of the Ghost Ancestor, they earned the admiration of countless cultivators, and the Beast Taming Sect was no longer associated with heterodoxy.

But no matter the cultivation technique, when cultivated to the extreme, they all possess boundless power. While the heterodox methods may be inferior to the direct teachings of Daoism in many respects, when it comes to killing and combat, they are not weaker than others. In fact, their unorthodox strengths can be even more potent, completely catching opponents off guard.

Without specific countermeasures, the killing power of the Five Poisons Sect and its affiliated sects on the battlefield is no less than that of orthodox Daoism, while in assassination and poisoning, they are even more troublesome for the opponent.

The military alliance formed by the Beast Taming Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, together with their affiliated sects, greatly increased in strength. The army of millions of cultivators passed by imposingly, startling countless cultivators.

As the army passed by, from time to time, figures would levitate into the air and observe from a distance.

When it was discovered that these two major sects were leading the expedition, it stirred up the hearts of countless cultivators, and numerous loose cultivators became envious.

The hottest topic in the Cultivation World nowadays is the expeditions through the void to plunder resources from otherworlds.

There were too many cultivators who profited from these expeditions, and an unknown number of Great Cultivators trapped at the Primordial Spirit Realm succeeded in becoming Immortals.

Particularly for the Beast Taming Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, the first profiteers, the benefits were manifold. Even many of their affiliated minor sects saw their elders promoted. How could this not excite the entire Cultivation World!

Having witnessed the substantial profits gained by these sects, many loose cultivators themselves could no longer sit still. Seeing the Beast Taming Sect and the Five Poisons Sect embark on another expedition, the situation suddenly became lively.

They had no sects of their own and thus no one to take them to otherworlds.

If they waited for the sects to open up space gates after the battle, like the Beast Taming Sect, allowing a large number of cultivation resources to enter for experience, although they could visit different worlds, it was still vastly different from interworld wars.

Therefore, many loose cultivators rushed about, gathering around renowned loose experts, requesting them to form a Loose Cultivation Alliance.

Seeing the situation, various Loose Immortals, also extremely envious of the huge benefits gained from the expeditions by the sects, went along with the tide and established several major Loose Cultivation Alliances, planning to partake in the expeditions as well.

While the Southern Domain’s loose cultivators were busily forming their alliances, the colossal Cultivator Army of the Beast Taming Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, after months of travel, had already set off to the Eastern Domain, within the territory of the Ghost Controlling Sect.

The Ghost Controlling Sect occupied a grand mountain named Beimang Mountain, a place with a massive Yin Vein!

It was said that countless bones were buried here, and every night, thousands of ghosts would roam!

To those cultivators with real insight, such rumors would be dismissed with a laugh.

Regardless of whether Beimang Mountain originally had nightly haunts of thousands of ghosts, ever since the Ghost Controlling Sect occupied this place and established their mountain gate, with their ghost-controlling skills, there were far more than just thousands of ghosts here, but millions of ghostly figures.
