Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 769 -586: The Three Great Demon Sects_2

“`

When one Immortal Pavilion after another, one Immortal City after another, and even one Immortal State Mansion after another had been occupied by the cultivators of the Sun Faction.

A flicker of doubt couldn’t help but pass through the minds of everyone in the Sun Faction.

Where are the people of the God Locking Sect?

Those Foundation Establishment True Persons, Golden Elixir Masters, and particularly the Ancestor Yuanying of the God Locking Sect, where in the world had they gone?

Throughout the journey, it took just one month for the Sun Faction to completely occupy an Immortal State that was under the God Locking Sect’s control.

Moreover, after completely occupying this Immortal State, the Sun Faction continued to advance, rapidly spreading to other Immortal States.

During this exceedingly rapid advancement process.

Almost everywhere the cultivators of the Sun Faction went, they hardly encountered much resistance.

Those previously fierce and aggressive Demonic Cultivators also quickly quieted down after the arrival of the Sun Faction cultivators, and did not have too many confrontations with them.

In such circumstances, even though the Sun Faction was still advancing quickly, their pace of advance had subtly slowed down considerably.

At the beginning of the conflict, it took the Sun Faction one month to completely occupy an Immortal State bordering the Sun Faction and previously under the control of the God Locking Sect.

And, after pushing forward without encountering any obstacles.

The pace of advancement of the Sun Faction also became slower.

Nearly at every location, the cultivators of the Sun Faction were on high alert, ready to fight a major battle with the Demonic Cultivators who might appear out of nowhere.

As a result, the pace of advance of the Sun Faction naturally slowed down.

However, the Sun Faction soon realized that this constant vigilance could not continue.

The whereabouts of the God Locking Sect remained unknown.

Cultivators of the Sun Faction responsible for advancing forward were all on tenterhooks, fearing an ambush by the God Locking Sect.

In this manner, the speed of the Sun Faction’s advance would end up as slow as a crawl.

If the area of influence of the God Locking Sect had been relatively small, this gradual advance and incremental encroachment might indeed have been secure.

But the problem is.

The God Locking Sect was a Nascent Soul Upper Sect just like the Sun Faction.

The area of influence of a Nascent Soul Upper Sect could be described as extremely vast.

Wanting to advance little by little, encroaching step by step, would likely take a very long time to completely occupy it.

Besides, in such a case, the battle line would also become extremely long.

If any location were to be attacked, it would probably lead to a situation where a single point could be breached, breaking the entire line.

Although the God Locking Sect could not compare to the Sun Faction in terms of high-level combat power, it would still be best to avoid unnecessary losses if possible.

Under these circumstances.

Quite swiftly, the Sun Faction changed their tactics, began to gather in one place, and with a large-scale offensive, they quickly started to occupy the various state mansions of the God Locking Sect.

When one state mansion after another had been completely occupied by the Sun Faction.

When the Immortal Cities and Immortal Pavilions under each state mansion were swiftly suppressed by the cultivators of the Sun Faction who followed up.

The zone of influence of the God Locking Sect also rapidly shrank after the Sun Faction changed their strategy.

However.

As the cultivators of the Sun Faction took control of several Immortal States belonging to the God Locking Sect and continued to head towards other Immortal States occupied by the God Locking Sect.

An unexpected development occurred at this moment.

Within the territory of the God Locking Sect, the cultivators of the Sun Faction encountered other Demonic Sects.

This Demon Sect, self-proclaimed as the Blood Soul Sect, had seized one of the Immortal State Mansions of the God Locking Sect, and this Immortal State was also fully occupied by the Blood Soul Sect.

When the cultivators of the Sun Faction arrived at this place and learned of this matter, they immediately informed the elders of their sect.

Soon after, this news quickly reached the ears of Yi Yangzi of the Sun Faction.

However.

At this moment, the expression on Yi Yangzi’s face was quite complicated.

It was almost at the same time.

He received six reports.

All six reports unanimously involved the disciples of the Sun Faction encountering obstruction by other Demonic Sects, and they specifically reported it.

And within these six reports, there were messages from three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

To the north, it’s the Double Sha Sect.

To the east, it’s the Blood Soul Sect.

To the west, it’s Poison Snake Valley.

“`

These are all Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects adjacent to the God Locking Sect.

These three Nascent Soul Upper Sects now each occupy two of the Immortal States originally belonging to the God Locking Sect, and they border each other.

If the Sun Faction wants to completely take over the four Immortal States already occupied by them from the God Locking Sect,

then the Sun Faction, having taken these four Immortal States, will be firmly trapped at the junction of the three Demonic Sects.

From now on, the Sun Faction will directly border these three Demonic Sects.

If each of these three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects has certain designs on the Sun Faction,

it would be extremely difficult for the Sun Faction to hold this ground.

That is to say,

although the God Locking Sect did not resist much against the formidable Sun Faction and the Wind Snow Palace,

it has still dug a deep pit for the Sun Faction.

If the Sun Faction wishes to occupy the lands of the God Locking Sect, then they will inevitably border the three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

What these three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects will do to the Sun Faction next is beyond the concern of the God Locking Sect.

After all, previously, the Sun Faction only bordered the God Locking Sect, the Purple Cloud Sect, the Golden Snake Sect, and the Netherworld Blade Sect.

All were Righteous Sects to the south, so one could say it was completely secure.

But now the God Locking Sect is gone,

and the Sects neighboring the Sun Faction have suddenly increased by three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

With this turn of events, even if the Sun Faction truly takes over the four Immortal States of the God Locking Sect, it’s likely to be as uncomfortable as having eaten excrement.

When bordering just one Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sect, the Sun Faction already had a great war with the God Locking Sect.

If they were to border three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects, the Sun Faction might as well give up everything else and spend all their days fighting back and forth with the Demonic Sects.

Moreover, there might even be a need to face joint attacks from two or even all three Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

By then, heaven may not respond, and earth may not care.

Yi Yangzi saw this very clearly.

This was also why, having received this news, his expression was now as somber as still water.

He truly had not expected

that upon seeing his side had external support, the God Locking Sect would make such a move without a second thought, placing the Sun Faction on a blazing fire.

Now, the Sun Faction had already taken over the four Immortal States of the God Locking Sect.

Retreat

was impossible.

But to border the three Demonic Nascent Soul Upper Sects was absolutely not acceptable to him either.

Who could permit others to snore beside their bed?

Moreover, when those others were hideously disfigured Demonic Cultivators?

Still,

this situation also left Yi Yangzi bewildered.

Did the Ancestor Yuanying of the God Locking Sect, even though he couldn’t defeat the alliance of two great Yuanyings here, really just give up all his possessions and surrender them without a fight?

Remember, this is an area of influence that a Nascent Soul Upper Sect may have taken who knows how many years to accumulate.

If they were to discard such a vast area of influence, Yi Yangzi could never believe it.

However, the Ancestor Yuanying of the God Locking Sect had indeed done exactly that.

As a result, Yi Yangzi really couldn’t fathom why the other party would do so.

Carrying these doubts in his heart, n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yi Yangzi pondered for a while before his gaze fell on Elder Phantom Snow beside him.

The cooperation of Elder Phantom Snow with the Sun Faction this time did indeed bring about many benefits.

One of them being the land of the God Locking Sect.

According to what Yi Yangzi had initially proposed, as long as the God Locking Sect could be driven out, the Sun Faction would support the Wind Snow Palace in establishing a new Nascent Soul Upper Sect on the former territory of the God Locking Sect.

Of course, how many states this new Nascent Soul Upper Sect would occupy and its geographical location were not discussed.

Because at that time, the two sides had not yet truly cooperated, nor had they confirmed whether they could indeed drive the God Locking Sect out of its area of influence.

Even less was known whether the God Locking Sect might also seek external aid.

Thus, the specific details were actually not discussed by either party; they simply negotiated their respective proportion of benefit distribution and the least benefits they could offer.
