Chapter 1026: 994: Cyan Mountain Sect Branch Location Selection
“Father, the Central Ancestral Realm over there is teeming with powerful entities, various cultivation resources are abundant and dazzling.”
“As we initially seek development there, how should we choose the location for the construction of this branch? This requires careful consideration.”
Lu Yuanshan spoke up, as his understanding of the Central Ancestral Realm was mostly hearsay, learned from books, Lu Ping, and Li Zhilu.
Thus, Lu Yuanshan was naturally not very familiar with the situation over there and couldn’t provide substantive advice, only make rough predictions based on existing knowledge.
He knew that Central Yunzhou was the most developed region in the Central Ancestral Realm.
The other major regions each had their unique features and strengths.
But no matter which region, it was far superior to Lingxi State.
Even if the Dubhe Institute was situated there, it wouldn’t count as a top major sect, more like a moderate force.
“Since we’re going, we should naturally target locations that are economically prosperous and resource-rich. You don’t need to worry about this, I just need to know that you want to go.”
Lu Ping smiled slightly.
Lu Yuanshan, upon hearing this, laughed heartily and said, “As the saying goes, people aspire to rise, water flows downward. That sacred realm of cultivation in the Central Ancestral Realm is something I’ve always yearned for, where’s the reason not to want to go?”
Hearing Yuanshan’s answer, Lu Ping felt some compassion for his eldest son.
If he weren’t bearing the role of Cyan Mountain Sect Leader with certain constraints and responsibilities, he wouldn’t be able to leave casually.
Otherwise, Yuanshan would have gone to the Central Ancestral Realm for experience long ago and might have already gained some fortuitous opportunities, quickly increasing his strength.
After a few heart-to-heart words with Yuanshan, mentioning the future Sect Leader’s successor, Lu Yuanshan expressed that when he truly went to the Central Ancestral Realm, the position of Cyan Mountain Sect Leader indeed needed to be vacated for the worthy.
Fortunately, now within Cyan Mountain Sect, there is no shortage of talents, with veteran representatives like Zhang Nianchuan, Song Minghui, Xuu Yi, She Qingqing, and others.
There are also many emerging talents with outstanding qualifications, making it relatively easy to handle the transition of this Sect Leader’s position.
Regarding this, Lu Ping didn’t need to worry, as Lu Yuanshan had clarity on his mind, knowing better who was suitable to take over the role of Sect Leader.
On the same day, Lu Ping also inquired about the thoughts of Lu Changfeng, Li Zhilu, and others.
Learning about the plan to establish a sect branch in the Central Ancestral Realm, Lu Changfeng was the first to clap his hands in approval, stating it should have been done long ago and that he was already eager.
Li Zhilu was originally born and cultivated in the Central Ancestral Realm, being very familiar with it, and the future proximity to home and visiting family meant she naturally had no objections.
Lu Zhiwei, Void Celestial Sword Spirit, and even Shanshan fully supported and approved of Lu Ping’s idea.
The high-ranking members of Cyan Mountain Sect naturally had no objections, with Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan, and others wishing to fly over right now and descend upon the Central Ancestral Realm for cultivation.
Resources in Lingxi State were limited, allowing cultivation only to the Nascent Soul Stage, so sect Golden Core Stage cultivators and above could entirely pursue advanced studies in the Central Ancestral Realm.
Upon concluding the discussions, Lu Ping wasted no time and directly set off for the Central Ancestral Realm to begin selecting a suitable location for establishing the Cyan Mountain Sect branch and see where it might be placed.
A year later, on Shuanghu Mountain in the Central Ancestral Realm, Lu Ping began carefully observing it, based on the collected Central Ancestral Realm map.
The Central Ancestral Realm is rightly named as it truly serves as the core of this world, the most prosperous and thriving place for cultivation.
In terms of area, the Central Ancestral Realm is vast, with even its eastern Barbaric Realm and Eastern State equating to six times the size of Lingxi State.
By moving closer to the center, crossing Hengzhou Mountain Range, one arrives at the most bustling Central Yunzhou, which is larger in area than Eastern State.
From the map, the Central Ancestral Realm is divided into five continents.
Ordered from southeast to northwest in direction, they are Eastern State, Nanhe State, Wind and Thunder State, Land of the Extreme North, and the central region Central Yunzhou.
Although it appears to have only five regions, any one of them holds vast territory and abundant resources.
For example, the Land of the Extreme North is so immense that it surpasses the combined size of Outer Sea, Vast Tide Sea, and Qingli Sea.
The Outer Sea itself consists of Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, Demon Hunting Sea, Heaven-Reaching Sea of Mist, Red Dragon Sea, and Profound Shark Sea, showcasing how large the Land of the Extreme North is.
The remaining Wind and Thunder State and Nanhe State aren’t much smaller than the Land of the Extreme North.
A detailed Central Ancestral Realm map records numerous mountain ranges, sects, family powers, and even details high-tier spirit veins quite extensively.
Based on the suggestion from Void Celestial Extreme Saint, the best choice is to select the Cyan Mountain Sect branch location in Central Yunzhou.
Lu Ping also had this idea, so he carefully browsed the Central Yunzhou map, mainly looking towards those high tier spirit veins, preferably those of Tier Six and above.
If the sect branch is to be established, it should naturally start off well, and Tier Six spiritual veins can sustain Lu Ping’s own cultivation.
Considering the current situation, spirit veins abound in Central Yunzhou, each generally with its owner.
There are eleven spirit veins reaching Tier Six levels.
Among them, seven are artificially cultivated, serving as residences for seven top-tier sects, making Central Yunzhou the state with the most high-tier spirit veins in the Central Ancestral Realm.
Additionally, four spirit veins were naturally nurtured by heaven and earth, one of which is occupied by a Divinity Transformation Clan.
The other three have become gathering places for demon beasts and are occupied by Divinity Transformation Demon Saints.
The title of Demon Saint is clear, indicating at least the Divinity Transformation Stage level of strength.
“The three Demon Saints of Central Yunzhou are the Cyan Pupil Demon Beast, Li Fire Demon Saint, and Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint.”
“In terms of strength, the most troublesome is the Li Fire Demon Saint, who has reached the Divinity Transformation Fifth Layer level and has dominated the Li Fire Mountain Range for over three thousand years.”
“Under this demon’s banner, the number of demon beasts following reaches millions, with three Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul demon beasts accompanying it, serving as left and right arms and being hard to deal with.”
“Back then, the various forces in Central Yunzhou united in power to reduce the threat brought by Li Fire Mountain Range, forming alliances aimed at Li Fire Demon Saint.”
“Unfortunately, despite several years of warfare, they were unable to kill this demon beast, only diminishing its subordinate demon beast forces by tens of thousands.”
“We should bypass this Li Fire Demon Saint and avoid meddling.” The Void Celestial Extreme Saint said, then introduced the strength of the other two demon beasts.
“The Cyan Pupil Demon Saint’s true form is the Cyan Pupil Snake King, evolved from swallowing a Tier Five Flood Dragon, reaching a Tier Six level, currently at Divinity Transformation Third Layer strength.”
“The Cyan Pupil Demon Saint displays the Cyan Pupil Demonic Radiance, which even Divinity Transformation Third Layer cultivators can only retreat from, so we can also skip the Cyan Pupil Demon Saint.”
