My Optimized Immortal Life

After the battle between good and evil, with the return of the survivors, the native cultivators of Song State all knew the root cause of the invasion of the evil sect. This made them extremely indignant, but they could do nothing about it. After all, no matter how some cultivators who were refining Qi or building foundations planned, it would be difficult to shake a Yuanying Zhenjun.

However, after the battle between good and evil, the entire Song Kingdom's cultivation world fell into a rare peace.

The original purpose of the three Yuanying True Lords was not within the territory of the Song Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. Whether it was an invasion by demons or a decisive battle between good and evil, their ultimate goal was to find the hidden cave.

Now that the cave has been captured, the invasion of demons has ceased, and the entire Song Kingdom has ushered in a brief period of peace.

The territory of the Song State, which was originally occupied by the demonic monks, became difficult to control because the number of demonic monks decreased greatly after the battle of Pingxiang Prefecture. Countless local monks of the Song State poured into these prefectures and reoccupied these territories.

When the two demonic sects saw this, they did not make any move. However, the Luo Yun Mansion and Pingxiang Mansion were blocked by the remaining demonic cultivators, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to enter.

When the native cultivators of Song State saw this, they knew that the Demonic Path's energy was currently focused on the cave in Luo Yun Mansion and the Taoist weapon in Pingxiang Mansion.

As for the areas where they were, apart from the spiritual veins that attracted the attention of the two sects, the rest of the things were not very attractive.

Although the Song State has now returned to peace, it has also paid a huge price. One of the four sects, the Lieyang Sect, was destroyed, leaving only one True Man Chiyan. The Baihua Sect and the Taixuan Sect have also been greatly reduced in strength, with only one or two Jindan cultivators left. Even the Tianyuan Sect has lost nearly 60% of its Jindan cultivators, and the losses in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages are not much different.

In short, the number of monks in the entire Song Dynasty has been reduced by at least half, and the overall strength has declined much more than before. There is no way to avoid this. After all, it was two fourth-level demon sects that invaded. Now that the Song Dynasty’s territory can be preserved, it is a blessing in disguise.

Having said that, they didn't know whether the three Yuanying Zhenjuns would cause another dispute and continue to invade the Song State after they took over the cave in Luo Yun's mansion.

After all, the losses suffered by the two sects of the Demonic Path were not small this time. If the two sects wanted to recover, the cultivators of the Song State would undoubtedly be the most suitable training resources in their eyes.

Wanren City.

After the battle between good and evil ended, the city was attacked by Chen Qing. Although the damaged formation has been repaired now, there is no Jindan cultivator in Wanren City at this time.

Many forces around Wanren City also learned the news at the first opportunity.

However, Chu Xiu and others who had originally joined Xutian Palace could no longer sit still and had gathered together.

They all knew very well that the Jindan cultivator who attacked Wanren City was none other than the deputy envoy of their Xutian Palace.

After all, the cultivators of the four sects were all dealing with the decisive battle between good and evil, the cultivators of the Three Island Alliance were living in seclusion in the Great Wilderness Swamp, and the only remaining Jindan cultivator in the entire Song Kingdom was the deputy envoy of the Xutian Palace.

Chu Xiu glanced at everyone and said with a serious expression.

"That deputy envoy attacked Wanren City and looted the Dharma Storage Building in the City Lord's Mansion. He clearly intended to steal the cultivation manuals stored there. However, even if the Dharma Storage Building contained a large number of cultivation manuals, it shouldn't have attracted the attention of a force with Jindan cultivators. I believe there must be something hidden behind this."

After these words were spoken, everyone present looked thoughtful. As the leaders of a certain force, they had a deep understanding of the so-called power.

Therefore, one can also notice the strangeness in it.

Thinking of the so-called Taoist artifacts and the incarnation cave in the recent battle between good and evil, everyone couldn't help but show a solemn look on their faces.

Fairy Xuanshui spoke.

"That deputy envoy looted the Dharma Storage Building and emptied it of all the manuals. This is illogical. He must be trying to cover up something. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be related to Luo Yun Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenxiong also spoke.

"No matter what, we can't get involved with Luo Yun Mansion. Now, we still have to think about our next retreat."

Yang Chongtian also spoke at the right time.

"The deputy envoy mentioned earlier that we should first enter the Great Wilderness Marsh and seek the Three Islands Alliance for protection. This means that the current stability of Song State is only temporary. Once the Luo Yun Mansion incident is resolved, the situation in Song State is expected to deteriorate further."

Upon hearing this, Master Mingzhen held a different opinion.

"Whether the situation will worsen is still unknown, but the Three Islands Alliance is not an easy target. They also have Linghua Zhenren in charge, a genuine Jindan Zhenren. If we go to join them, we will have no choice but to join the Three Islands Alliance and let them control us."

After everyone discussed it, they still couldn't come up with the best decision.

Everyone present was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even after joining the Xutian Palace, they had acquired many resources and had made great progress in their cultivation, but they were only approaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Being sandwiched between the two Demonic Sects and the Three Islands Alliance was really uncomfortable.

In the end, everyone decided to dispatch some family members to the safe place they had previously explored in the Great Wilderness and settle down. They would then observe the subsequent changes in the situation in Song State before deciding whether to enter the Great Wilderness together.

After the discussion was completed, everyone dispersed. On the way back to his family, Chu Xiu was quite emotional.

It has to be said that the five families are now able to join forces thanks to Xutian Palace.

Xutian Palace provided many resources to the five families, enabling them to develop rapidly. For example, his Chu family now has two more Foundation Establishment Masters, and the power of the entire family has expanded by more than double. However, he has put most of his energy in the Great Wilderness Marsh and has not cultivated the power of Wanren City. Therefore, the changes in his Chu family are not so obvious to outsiders.

It was not just his Chu family, the other four families were the same. To explore the Great Wilderness Marsh, a place where one could be at risk of death, the strength of one family alone was naturally not enough. The five families united and barely found a place to settle in the Great Wilderness Marsh. With the help of the formation exchanged from the Xutian Palace, they were able to gain a foothold in it.

However, the environment of the Great Wilderness is indeed far superior to that of the Song State, whether it is the concentration of spiritual energy or the resources for cultivation. Although the area found by the five families does not have spiritual veins, it has a large area of ​​spiritual soil that can be used to grow many spiritual medicines needed for cultivation.

With the help of the spiritual soil here, the power of the five families was able to expand to this extent in a short period of time.

However, the current scale has reached its limit.

Many thoughts flashed through Chu Xiu's mind, and in the end he couldn't help but sigh.

Among the five families, the ones with the highest cultivation level now are him and Master Mingzhen. They are only one step away from the middle stage of foundation building. After practicing for a few more months, they will surely be able to break through this threshold.

However, even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building can only protect himself in the Great Wilderness Swamp.

This is also the reason why they did not all move into the Great Wilderness Marsh. Although the environment of the Great Wilderness Marsh is good, the current situation in Song State is still relatively stable. Only when the heads of the five families have cultivated to the late stage of foundation building and joined forces can they have the ability to explore outward in the Great Wilderness Marsh and continue to develop.
