Chapter 860: End of the War, Compet.i.tion for the New World

Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as he stepped outside, Jiang Chengxuan was greeted by Shen Ruyan approaching him.

“Have you finished your seclusion, husband?

How is that?”

Did you make any special gains?” she inquired with a look of antic.i.p.ation.

A smile quickly spread across Jiang Chengxuan’s face as he nodded at Shen Ruyan,

“The gains were substantial. I’ve essentially achieved the goals I set for myself.”

“Really?”

Surprise and delight shone on Shen Ruyan’s face.

The couple then shared with each other the outcomes of their respective seclusions.

As they were catching up, their communication talismans suddenly lit up simultaneously.

Exchanging glances, they each retrieved their talisman.

With just one look, expressions of surprise inevitably surfaced on their faces.

The message they received announced the end of the longstanding war between the righteous and demonic paths.

Mahayana Daolord from both alliances had come forward to sign a ceasefire agreement, including leaders from super sects like the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley.

The sect masters and family heads had signed their sects’ names on the agreement, acknowledging the decision on behalf of their respective forces.

From that moment on, the nearly millennium-long grand conflict between the righteous and demonic paths was officially concluded.

While skirmishes and battles between cultivators of the two paths would still occur, wars on such a large scale as just experienced would no longer happen.

This was also what the overall situation required.

Continuous warfare would have weakened the human race’s power in the Celestial Floodgate Realm, inviting unrest among other races and potentially leading to unforeseen events.

Avoiding such outcomes was a priority for the human race’s leaders.h.i.+p, transcending the righteous-demonic divide and focusing solely on the well­being of humanity.

Now, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and all other cultivators from the Haoran Sect received an urgent message instructing them to return to the sect and convene in the grand council hall as soon as possible.

The message specified that all cultivators above the Soul Formation Realm, barring unforeseen circ.u.mstances, were required to attend.

However, instead of rus.h.i.+ng to the grand council hall, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan decided to head to Shenwu Peak first.

They had just learned that Qin Shenwu had returned to the sect, and they wished to see him before anything else.

They wanted to see if there was anything special about the meeting.

Upon their arrival at Shenwu Peak, Jiang Chengxuan and his Dao companion discovered that their senior sister, Xie Xiangyao, had also arrived.

Zhao Tianfan emerged from his cave abode on the peak as well.

Their meeting naturally involved a warm exchange of greetings.

It wasn’t long before they all received a message from Qin Shenwu, summoning them to his cave abode.

Upon reaching Qin Shenwu’s cave abode and seeing his current condition, Jiang Chengxuan and the others were taken aback.

Qin Shenwu appeared pale and his aura was notably weakened, clearly indicating he had sustained serious injuries.

“s.h.i.+fu, what happened to you?” they asked with concern.

Qin Shenwu, however, responded with a nonchalant smile and a shake of his head,

“It’s nothing serious. I just clashed head-on with Daolord Devilsky a few times and lost some of my Dao’s essence.

A bit of rest should see me recover soon.”

“Daolord Devilsky?”

Hearing this name caused a jolt among them.

They were all familiar with this great Daolord from the demonic path, a renowned figure from the True Demon Sect who seldom made appearances in the Celestial Floodgate Realm.

It was surprising to hear that he had shown up for this war between the righteous and demonic paths, even clas.h.i.+ng with their s.h.i.+fu, Qin Shenwu.

What was most astonis.h.i.+ng was that their s.h.i.+fu had managed to withstand the attacks of such a formidable Daolord.

“Alright, I didn’t call you here to talk about this,” Qin Shenwu said.

“The main reason I’ve summoned you is to discuss what lies ahead for us, the righteous and demonic paths, as well as the various sects and families.”

“Huh…?”

At this, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Xie Xiangyao, and even Zhao Tianfan seemed to realize something, their spirits instantly heightened.

“Heh, have you guessed it already?”

Qin Shenwu chuckled, “Correct, it’s about that new world.”

As expected.

The eyes of Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Xie Xiangyao lit up upon hearing Qin Shenwu.

Qin Shenwu continued, “This council meeting primarily revolves around this very topic.

As my disciples, and based on your performance in this war, you’re ent.i.tled to be informed about the intricacies and granted more authority.”

Qin Shenwu then briefed them on the general situation.

The outcome of the war undoubtedly marked a victory for their righteous path, which meant that they were naturally ent.i.tled to a larger share and more authority over the new world’s distribution.

According to Qin Shenwu, the new world would be divided, with their righteous path claiming sixty percent of the territory and the demonic path getting forty percent.

Given that it was a new world, the potential resources and opportunities within were expected to be abundant.

Even the Nine-Colored Lotus that Zhao Tianfan urgently needed might be found there.

This led to some disputes within the alliance of the righteous path, as various sects and families vied for their share.

Fortunately, the Haoran Sect had performed admirably in the war, contributing significantly to the victory.

As a result, the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley were jointly awarded ten percent of the new world’s territory.

While ten percent might seem small, the area it encompa.s.sed was vast, unimaginably so.

It was significantly larger than the current territories of both the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley combined, by dozens or even hundreds of times.

However, the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, despite jointly securing this portion of the new world, would need to explore and compete for the actual location of their territory on their own.

The same applied to other sects and families within the righteous alliance.

Therefore, it was mutually agreed that no cultivator above Dao Fusion from either the righteous or demonic paths would enter this new world.

Any violation of this rule would result in a joint decision to disqualify the offending party from settling in the new world.

So.

This expedition to the new world was crucial for the fundamental interests of both the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley.

They needed to commit their full efforts to it.
