Chapter 251: Chapter 251: The Power of Wanyu

Wang Zijia stopped his actions, with a large pile of Demon Bodies already heaped beside him. As these were all corpses of Demonic Beings with cultivation, no matter how voraciously the Five Ghosts devoured, they couldn’t keep up with Wang Zijia’s extraction speed.

Therefore, Wang Zijia didn’t continue. He closed the warehouse to let them digest slowly. He went out for a round, showing a face as if he was studying his bloodline and was tired of researching.

After a while, he returned and started cleaning up again.

"Cultivation +118653!"

Dao cultivation: A hundred years (254031/500,000).

After using most of the day, Wang Zijia cleaned up over two thousand Demonic Corpses completely, his cultivation making significant progress, his mana becoming more profound, more than halfway past the Mid Stage of the Sacrificial Wine.

Feeling the surging mana within his body, Wang Zijia calmed his emotions.

He looked at the Five Ghosts, which were still crazily spreading the ghost fog, endlessly corroding the corpse. However, they hadn’t even digested a tenth of the corpse.

Wang Zijia beckoned, and the Blood Red Jade Book appeared in his hand. As the book opened, the remaining corpses were collected by Wang Zijia to serve as food to be eaten slowly.

Time flew by, and it was another two days of wilderness flight.

This day at noon, as the primeval forest gradually turned into sparse wilderness, then turned into shrubs and grassland.

When an abandoned border city appeared in the thousand-mile mirror, everyone in the control room breathed a sigh of relief. With the appearance of this abandoned city, it marked the end of the wilderness and also indicated they had entered the territorial range of the Tianhong Dynasty.

However, as he moved forward, Wang Zijia gradually furrowed his brows. As a second-class dynasty, whether it was territory or population, both had to reach a certain level to be graded as second-class.

But what Wang Zijia saw along his journey were all sorts of ruined cities, deserted villages, and skeletal remains everywhere, with the occasional Demons digging up graves—a chaotic scene reminiscent of a dying dynasty.

Although the Tianhong Dynasty was located in remote areas and some chaos and abandonment were expected, this level of ruin made Wang Zijia furrow his brows.

"Is this the situation for all dynasties far from the Sect?" Wang Zijia asked with a furrowed brow.

"It’s been eighty years since the last Grand Cleansing, and it’s still twenty years until the next. Nowadays, Demons are rampant and Demonic Beings are rising. For a country like this, far from the sect, a certain level of decline and chaos are inevitable regardless of its rating," Nong Yufei glanced at Wang Zijia, whose expression was visibly gloomy, then added, "But it’s relatively rare to see a situation like we’re seeing now."

"After all, even if the Law Enforcement Team doesn’t come regularly, every ten years during the Ascending Immortal Conference, teams like us would perform a National Cleansing during the national selection of disciples. Probably because this place is just too remote. It should be better as we move closer towards the capital!"

Wang Zijia was silent for a while. Was this really just a matter of remoteness?

Standing nearby, An Xingsheng hesitated momentarily. In order to serve Wang Zijia well, he had done some homework in advance, "This disciple does know a little bit about it."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to him.

Under everyone’s gaze, An Xingsheng suppressed his slightly nervous emotions, contemplated his words, and then said, "Because the surrounding areas are all very remote, most of the disciples sent to recruit are not the winners of the grand competition."

"Instead, it was put into the Task Hall, some of the Senior Brothers who snatched the recruitment tasks, the team itself wasn’t big, often it’s just a team of dozens of people, and not too many people were recruited."

"About three sessions ago, there was a Devil Cultivator making trouble in the neighboring Ling Dynasty, causing the disciples recruited that year to go missing without a trace. After the incident, the Sect was furious, and sent a Perfected to perform Cutting Mountains and Destroying Temples in this area."

"Afterwards, Wanyu Sect was listed as a semi-blacklist by the sects, causing sects that had a little development in Tianhong to recall their disciples. Without the support of their sect, this region’s cultivation world naturally declined quickly."

"If this hadn’t happened, Tianhong was, after all, a second-rate dynasty. It’s difficult to imagine that it reached the point where no sect faction wanted to develop in this territory."

Upon hearing this, no one responded.

In just a few sentences, Wang Zijia had not only realized the strength and power of Wanyu, but also the status of Wanyu disciples in the surrounding areas.

After all, ordinary outer sect disciples, at most, were peak children. The disappearance of these few people had resulted in the downfall of a territorial Cultivation World. For a place like Tianhong, it was not at all exaggerated to describe Wanyu Sect as a holy land."

······

Amid the silence of the crowd, the magic-driven vehicle began to reveal itself and continued to accelerate. Spiritual light particles pulled out a long flame tail as if departing auspicious signs were coming from the northwest.

"Stop!" After almost half an hour of rapid progress, Wang Zijia suddenly opened his mouth.

The few disciples responsible for the array immediately operated the array curtain and slowed down.

A worn-out city appeared on the light screen projected by the thousand-mile mirror. At the moment, the city was in chaos, with smoke and fire rising everywhere.

There were many mad men causing havoc everywhere, ordinary people who took advantage of the chaos to commit evil deeds, and some demon-like creatures that hadn’t fully transformed, crawling forward, ghastly ghosts with green faces and fangs were killing everywhere like stern ghosts."

"Activate the secondary spirit array, kill the wicked ghosts, and the mad ones together." Wang Zijia said with a frown."

Nong Yufei did not disagree upon seeing this. After all, apart from their apprentice-recruiting mission, they also had a mission to sweep the country."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples around started to control the magic-driven vehicle, issuing various commands."

······

Tianhong Dynasty.

For the past thirty years, the Tianhong peak era had ended abruptly, with the dynasty rapidly declining. The Extinguished Demon immortals, who could occasionally be seen, even gradually became legends.

Monsters and demons frequently appeared everywhere, destroying cities and towns, and chaos ensued everywhere.

Kalin City, as a former inland city, has now become a border city as the Tianhong Dynasty continued to decline and border towns were destructed one after another over the past thirty years.

The once-prosperous city had faded, and wealthy families had long moved away, leaving mostly ordinary people struggling to survive."

Liang Jun, as a martial artist who had developed True Qi, didn’t have a good life in the city, but he could manage to make ends meet."

In recent days, he had always felt something was wrong in the city, which made his heart palpitate."

If it wasn’t for taking care of his child, he would probably have decided to leave here and go somewhere more prosperous to survive."

He was married relatively early. That’s why even though he was a martial artist who had developed True Qi, he didn’t make a name for himself in the jianghu.

After he had a family, he kept his youthful spirits in check and let go of his sentiments for the jianghu. Unfortunately, the harsh reality did not change because of this. Three years after his marriage, his wife passed away, leaving behind a breastfed child."

Suddenly becoming a single father had smoothed all his edges. He was busy making a living day in and day out. Fortunately, his child was smart and very sensible, which didn’t make him, who became a single father in his teens, too helpless."
