Chapter 1175: Chapter 648: The Harvest from the Annihilation of Liu Jia Mountain Chapter 1175: Chapter 648: The Harvest from the Annihilation of Liu Jia Mountain When the large formation showed signs of breaking, Yu Changjian and other Foundation Establishment practitioners didn’t possess the breadth of heart to stay and defend the Sect’s honor. Instead, they all escaped through the teleportation array.

Those left behind were the Qi Cultivating disciples.

After being betrayed by Yu Changjian, the Sect Leader, most of these people directly surrendered, although some resisted unto death. But under the suppression of the enemy army, they only caused minor disturbances.

Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue reached the summit of Liu Jia Mountain and observed nearly a thousand Qi Cultivating disciples being escorted below. The latter’s expression turned cold as he pondered whether to completely annihilate them.

“This suits perfectly, the workers for the cultivators’ river construction are insufficient. Seal part of their spiritual power and take them as labor,” said Chen Mobai, already having devised a plan for these individuals.

Upon hearing his words, Fu Zongjue did not object, and Zhou Wangshen immediately began commanding the Divine Wood Sect cultivators to place restrictions on these Qi Cultivating disciples from Liu Jia Mountain.

“Sect Leader, the flames have all been extinguished, and most of the scriptures have been rescued,” reported E Yun, who had returned from fighting the fire.

In the Eastern Wilderness tradition, a Sect’s lineage would be burned before its destruction.

However, since Yu Changjian and the other Foundation Establishment practitioners were preoccupied with escaping, they delegated this task to the True Disciples.

But among them were those who knew that if they wished to survive, the lineage of Liu Jia Mountain might be the most crucial bargaining chip.

Thus, many did not follow Yu Changjian’s order to set fire to the books. Some even went so far as to stop their fellow sect members who tried to adhere to the orders.

Consequently, when E Yun and his group arrived, over ninety percent of Liu Jia Mountain’s lineage scriptures were intact and undamaged. The few that were burned were of lower ranking, and many True Disciples could even recite them from memory.

“Very good, after organizing everything, send them to the Sect immediately,” commanded Fu Zongjue, overjoyed with the news.

He had obtained the contents of Liu Jia Mountain’s Puppetry Techniques previously, but after years of contemplation, he always felt something was off. It seemed as if there was a missing summary to weave the content together.

Determined to find what was missing now that he had the complete lineage of Liu Jia Mountain, he couldn’t believe it wouldn’t be among the trove.

“Fu Shixiong, I found these three books in Yan Fusheng’s storage bag. They should be useful to you,” said Chen Mobai, handing over the books to Fu Zongjue.

Fu Zongjue was ecstatic upon inspecting them. The three books were titled “Six Primary Heaven Strategies,” consisting of upper, middle, and lower volumes, detailing the crafting methods of Liu Jia Mountain’s most powerful puppet, “The Six Primary Heavenly General.”

This was a Rank-4 puppet, passed down generationally in the hands of Liu Jia Mountain’s Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Compared to “The Art of Longevity Puppetry’s” Little Azure Dragon, refining the Six Primary Heavenly General was much simpler. If Fu Zongjue could master its creation, he would dominate the Golden Core Realm with ease.

Last time, after slaying Nan Shidao, he did not gain this art, and it was missing from within Liu Jia Mountain as well, leading Fu Zongjue to believe it might have been lost to time with Yan Fusheng’s passing away in meditation.

“Thank you, junior brother,” Fu Zongjue expressed his gratitude after inspecting the books and made no hesitation in accepting the “Six Primary Heaven Strategies.”

Having acquired what he desired, he had no interest in remaining further. With Chen Mobai overseeing the situation, he decided to return to the Sect.

“Fu Shixiong, take this to Brother Zhou as well,” Chen Mobai called out to him, passing a jade slip that recorded the methods of the Legal Body Nascent Soul. Fu Zongjue was initially surprised but, after examining it with his Divine Sense, was utterly astonished.

“This…”

“Remember, keep this confidential,” Chen Mobai reminded as they spoke, having already concealed their surroundings with the “Red Misty Cloud Silk.” The matter of the Legal Body Nascent Soul was crucial for the Divine Wood Sect to truly unify the Eastern Wilderness.

Only with Nascent Soul Cultivators in place could they engage on equal terms with the surrounding wolves and tigers.

For this very reason, the appearance of any Nascent Soul Cultivator was a major event that could alter the balance of power in the Eastern Wilderness and the two neighboring realms.

Existing Nascent Soul Cultivators certainly did not wish for the rise of a new peer.

And in an environment like the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai felt that without a Nascent Soul Cultivator in position, it would be impossible to bring about a change in the era and establish everlasting peace.

“Junior brother, this is a divine feat. We just now need the Return to the Sun Spirit Water!” said Fu Zongjue after completing his review of the jade slip, his face flushed with excitement. As a native of the Eastern Wilderness, he understood the significance of Nascent Soul Cultivators better than Chen Mobai.

“The Sect can start collecting the ingredients for refining the Return to the Sun Spirit Water. The question is who to get to refine it…” Fu Zongjue murmured to himself, even considering the possibility of him and the other two Golden Core Cultivators, along with Mo Douguang, pressuring Yan Shaoyin to do it.

“Let’s start with collecting the ingredients. I’ll think of a way to find an Alchemist,” suggested Chen Mobai, though he did not plan to do so. Apart from whether Yan Shaoyin’s skills were up to par–or even if he were willing to refine–the slightest ill-intent could easily result in a failed attempt.

Moreover, employing him to refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water would essentially announce Zhou Shengqing’s transformation into the Legal Body Nascent Soul.

If word got out, not only the Nascent Soul Major Factions in the East Barbarians but even Dongwu might covet the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood.

Thinking of the Soul Nourishing Wood, Chen Mobai recalled other gains from Yan Fusheng’s storage bag, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Fu Zongjue took it as Chen Mobai’s happiness for Zhou Shengqing in obtaining the Legal Body Nascent Soul.

After a bit more conversation, Fu Zongjue used a puppet body to publicly leave Liu Jia Mountain in front of everyone. Then his true body stealthily joined the Divine Wood Sect’s army, escorting Liu Jia Mountain’s disciples to the Eastern Desolation Plateau. He left the group midway, quietly heading toward Jian Country.
