Chapter 1062: Untitled

"It is a success." Within the Sword Sect, the continuous stream of news coming from the outside world made Zhang Liang and Su Fan very satisfied.

Especially Zhang Liang; the effort he expended was not in vain, and he had finally achieved a victory at a certain stage.

"It seems the target we are supporting is a good one."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan also laughed. Regardless, the spread of the Earth Deity Path had finally yielded some results.

It was much better than it was at the beginning.

Although those sects were still hesitant, the majority of Loose Cultivators in Jianyu had already begun to practice the Earth Deity Path; at the very least, the secret method for grooming Earth Veins was the most popular.

Su Fan and the others had also inquired and found that there were successes, with some having created a low-grade Spiritual Land in the middle of desolate mountains and wild ridges.

Even the lowest-grade Spiritual Land was a good thing for those Loose Cultivators; Loose Cultivators who had become immortals might not care about a low-grade Spiritual Land.

But for many who had not yet become immortals, a Spiritual Land could serve as their own cave dwelling to settle down.

Moreover, such a Spiritual Land could grow; as long as one continued to study the Earth Deity Path in depth, grooming and optimizing the Earth Veins, and strengthening the Earth Veins, the Spiritual Land would grow accordingly.

This was a win-win situation; the deeper the research into the Earth Deity Path, the stronger the Spiritual Land created would be.

Of course, now that the Earth Deity Path had just been spread and not much time had passed, those Loose Cultivators had only just begun to get involved; ninety percent of the Loose Cultivators had either not implemented it or had failed.

Only a very small number of Loose Cultivators succeeded; some might have optimized the Spiritual Land they were in, while others had created a low-grade Spirit Vein.

The effect had already emerged.

As long as more and more people began to put effort into this in the future, it would radiate from the Loose Cultivators to the sects, and from Jianyu to other regions.

After all, once the strength of the sects across Jianyu became stronger and stronger because of the Earth Deity Path, it was impossible for sects in other regions not to come and investigate.

Once they investigated and discovered it was the Earth Deity Path, they would certainly take it back to study; by then, this Earth Deity Path would naturally and gradually spread.

There would not even be a need for Zhang Liang and the others to personally go and preach one by one.

By then, more and more people would practice the Earth Deity Path, and they could consider themselves successful.

"Haha!"

After the two looked at each other, they burst into laughter. They were clear that the most difficult part of spreading this Earth Deity Path was, in reality, the beginning.

Once someone started practicing, it would be like a rolling torrent, growing larger and larger.

"Zifang, you are supporting the Qingyuan Sect; are you planning to target the southwest region and slowly annex the four directions?"

The Sword Sect was located in the eastern part of Jianyu, and currently, among the four directions of Jianyu, the Sword Sect's territory was not very large.

The Sword Sect was indeed the most powerful in Jianyu, but after all, it had not been established for long, and its territory only occupied a small portion of the east.

However, the hundred thousand miles of land in the east were also tacitly acknowledged as the Sword Sect's territory, and the forces of all sizes within it also considered themselves subordinates of the Sword Sect.

Jianyu was three million kilometers long from north to south and spanned ten million miles from east to west; among the hundreds of large and small regions in Nanzhan Buzhou, it could only be considered medium-to-low tier.

If the Sword Sect wanted to become a top-tier sect in Nanzhan Buzhou, Jianyu was not enough; after all, Jianyu's territory was not large, and there was no need to even mention the Spiritual Lands.

But for now, for the Sword Sect, it was about slowly annexing without attracting the attention of others.

Zhang Liang hoped that the Sword Sect would unify Jianyu in a silent and soundless state, rather than in that overbearing, forceful, and snatching manner.

Doing so would also attract the gaze of sects in other regions.

Gai Nie was currently trapped in Nanjun and unable to return; if the Sword Sect lost such a powerhouse and a Golden Immortal really came, it would be very troublesome.

Zhang Liang hoped that the Sword Sect's strength would increase quietly.

The Sword Sect was built by their own hands, so they naturally hoped the Sword Sect would become stronger and stronger; however, those sects in Jianyu had existed for hundreds of thousands, or even a million years.

Although their strength was quite a bit worse compared to the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect could not possibly fight them one by one and annex them all.

Doing so would only stimulate the power of the entire Jianyu to resist the Sword Sect.

What the Sword Sect needed to do was to unify Jianyu, not annex Jianyu; as long as those forces could be made to completely submit to the Sword Sect, that would be enough.

The Qingyuan Sect was Zhang Liang and the others' plan; in the southwest region, those sects had never been very strong, and even at the Qingyuan Sect's peak, it was barely ranked among the upper-tier sects of Jianyu.

It was still a bit short of being top-tier.

Its foundation and strength were not enough to compare with those few major sects.

What's more, the Qingyuan Sect had now declined to the extreme, but fortunately, under their support, Qingsongzi had broken through to become a True Immortal, so that was different.

The gap between a Heavenly Immortal sect and a True Immortal sect was still very large.

A True Immortal sect had the opportunity to challenge the top-tier forces of Jianyu.

The southwest region of Jianyu could be considered a barren land; there were not many sects there, and once the Qingyuan Sect took it, the remaining few major sects would be even easier to handle.

Slowly annex the southwest region, then the west and the south.

As long as this was done, then only the most essential land in the north of the entire Jianyu would remain; of course, there was also a part in the center.

Take it slow; for the Sword Sect, there was no rush.

Zhang Liang had completely let go of the affairs of Jiuzhou; there was the Great Qin.

Nanjun had been breached, but Gai Nie and Wang Jian and the others had all successfully left; later, Xianyang City sent Meng Ao over, who joined forces with Wang Jian to block Xiang Yu.

Meng Ao's strength was even above Wang Jian's.

If it came to cultivation in Militarystrategy, Meng Ao was a bit inferior to Wang Jian, but his personal Martial Dao cultivation was indeed stronger than Wang Jian's; even if he was not Xiang Yu's match one-on-one.

But the three of them, Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and Gai Nie, were enough to block Xiang Yu's bravery.

Therefore, Zhang Liang very naturally gave up on Jiuzhou.

There was no need for him to worry about that side for the time being; even if the three of them could not block Xiang Yu in the future, Xianyang City could not sit idly by.

Moreover, since they had sent Meng Ao, the Great Qin would continue to send even more powerful generals and commanders.

Therefore, there was no major problem with the Great Qin in Jiuzhou.

On the contrary, the Sword Sect was now their greatest focus; after all, the Sword Sect was established by their own hands.

This career was the most important thing.

And they could also grow together with the Sword Sect.

The stronger the Sword Sect became, the stronger Zhang Liang's future, as the actual Sect Leader of the Sword Sect, was destined to become.

Therefore, after leaving Jiuzhou, Zhang Liang focused more of his attention on the Sword Sect.

The Earth Deity Path was also entirely for the sake of the Sword Sect; at the beginning, he taught many disciples within the Sword Sect.

He even personally combed through the Earth Vein of the Sword Sect's mountain gate.

As for the Earth Origin Path, he did not cultivate it; for him, combing through the Earth Vein was simpler and actually not very difficult.

Of course, he only dabbled in it and did not, like many disciples, cultivate the Earth Deity Path with all his might.
