My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Yang Jing’s closed-door Artifact Refining session this time was exceptionally long. He only emerged from his seclusion after more than a hundred days.

When he came out, he saw several of his disciples waiting outside his Cave Mansion and knew something major must have happened.

"What happened?"

Yang Jing asked, his expression grave.

Iron Head stepped forward and relayed all the information he had gathered about the Western Continent. In just over a hundred days, the Demon Court’s offensive had been unstoppable, advancing nearly three hundred more miles.

However, under the desperate resistance of the Six Sects Alliance Army, the pace of their conquest had slowed.

Yang Jing’s expression shifted slightly. ’The Demon Court launched their attack earlier than expected, but their advance has slowed considerably. It seems my previous actions in the Western Continent did indeed bolster the Power of the Six Great Sects.’

"I understand."

He turned his gaze to Luo Du.

"And who is this?"

"He’s just an insignificant clown,"

Iron Head said dismissively, then recounted everything Luo Du and his group had done.

Yang Jing shook his head.

"Establishing another Five Elements True Spirit Sect? Truly blinded by greed."

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a streak of Sword Qi and executed Luo Du. ’If these people were allowed to gain a foothold and truly establish a new Sect in the Central Continent, it would undoubtedly shake the morale of the Western Continent. With morale wavering, everyone would be thinking of escaping to the Central Continent, and the fall of the Western Continent would not be far behind.’

’The four overseas continents are the Central Continent’s buffer. If the Western Continent falls, we can still retreat to the Central Continent. But if the Central Continent falls, where else is there to retreat?’

"Your master has a plan. Do not panic."

With that, Yang Jing transformed into a streak of Tunneling Light and flew straight toward Canghe Island.

Although the Nine Marvels Sect was one of the top Major Sects in the Central Continent, it couldn’t keep a large number of High-Tier Cultivators stationed on Canghe Island indefinitely. Currently, the number of Cultivators on Canghe Island had been reduced to one at the Divinity Transformation realm and six at the Nascent Soul realm.

This force, combined with the Grand Array set up on Canghe Island, was already capable of withstanding a siege from four Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

In fact, ever since the Earth Puppet was successfully refined, there had been a constant stream of probing and harassment. The Nine Marvels Sect, however, was unwilling to offend too many factions, so they had only killed a few of the bolder ones who lacked powerful backing.

Holding a Command Talisman, Yang Jing felt a Divine Sense sweep over him before he was allowed into the Grand Array.

He glanced at the Spirit Vein on Canghe Island. A single Tier Four Spiritual Eye Object was struggling to restore the Tier Four Spirit Vein. After a hundred days, the concentration of Spiritual Qi on the island was only at the level of Tier One Upper Grade. Only within a thirty-zhang radius of the Spiritual Eye Object could the Spiritual Qi concentration reach Tier Four Middle Grade.

And this was only after the Nine Marvels Sect had planted three more priceless Tier Three Spiritual Eye Objects on the island.

When Yang Jing saw Nine Marvels, the latter was continuously drawing Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein, bit by bit, to refine the Jianmu.

The Jianmu lying before him was already about a zhang long. As expected of a Top-Tier, Tier Five Spiritual Material, even as a piece of dead wood, it still radiated an incomparably intense and vigorous life force.

As an Artifact Refiner, Yang Jing could even see the natural Divine Prohibitions hidden within the wood grain of the Jianmu.

"Why the sudden visit? Don’t tell me you’ve finished refining a Tier Four Magical Treasure?"

Nine Marvels said, turning around with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Senior, you’ve really kept me in the dark,"

Yang Jing said bluntly.

Nine Marvels’s eyes darted around.

"What could I possibly be hiding from you?"

Yang Jing said only two words:

"Western Continent."

Nine Marvels coughed twice.

"When did I ever hide anything from you? You never asked me about the Western Continent!"

Yang Jing didn’t bother arguing with him.

"This junior has exhausted his mind and energy to refine this body for you, Senior, yet you harbor ulterior motives and scheme against me. It is truly disheartening."

Nine Marvels hastily cut him off.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Just tell me what your demands are. There’s no need for such theatrics."

"Senior Nine Marvels, with the Nine Marvels Sect’s Power, you can certainly investigate the Noble Families from the Six Sects that have minor holdings in the Central Continent. If they keep to themselves, then so be it. But for those plotting to establish separate branches, I ask that our fellow daoists of the Nine Marvels Sect draw up a list for me,"

Yang Jing said.

Nine Marvels’s expression immediately turned serious.

"Are you planning to go and plunder them one by one? That would certainly cause turmoil in the Central Continent. Even if the Nine Marvels Sect were to tacitly approve, the other Noble Sects wouldn’t just turn a blind eye."

Yang Jing shook his head.

’An army marches on its stomach. If I were to return to the Central Continent with only my disciples, even if I were made of iron, how much could I accomplish alone? The Demon Court has a Divinity Transformation expert. If I were to slaughter Nascent Soul Demon Saints on a large scale as I did in the Thousand Islands Alliance, I would definitely provoke that Divinity Transformation expert into action.’

’A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator like myself has not yet reached the point where I can turn the tide of an entire continent’s situation with my own Power. That would require, at the very least, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator wielding a Tier Six Spirit Treasure.’

"As a True Disciple of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, how can I tolerate these scoundrels splitting the Sect and sowing chaos? Therefore, I am willing to challenge them to a Magical Combat on the arena stage, following the ancient custom: best three out of five. The loser will voluntarily forfeit all their assets to the winner,"

Yang Jing said.

Even if he used Magical Combat as a pretext to force these Noble Families to fight him, if they decided to just hide in their shells like turtles, Yang Jing still wouldn’t have a good way to deal with them. This was where a behemoth like the Nine Marvels Sect needed to step in.

The Magical Combat was a legitimate reason for the Nine Marvels Sect to intervene openly.

Nine Marvels fell silent for a moment. Although he was a Tier Six Magical Treasure of the Nine Marvels Sect, he could not make decisions on behalf of the Sect.

"I don’t handle the Sect’s affairs, so I can’t make a rash decision. Let me ask the sect members. If it’s feasible, my Nine Marvels Sect will certainly do everything in its power to move this forward."

As he spoke, he sent out a Spirit Talisman with Yang Jing’s proposal recorded on it.

Yang Jing nodded. ’The discerning members of the Nine Marvels Sect would not disagree with promoting the Magical Combat.’

’The Western and Northern Continents are in turmoil. The Central Continent can’t just sit back and watch. However, the Central Continent is full of different factions, and without a stable, unified body to make decisions, no consensus has been reached.’

’My plan is to use the resources of those Western Continent Noble Families to solve the Western Continent’s crisis. The Major Sects of the Central Continent would only need to apply pressure in the name of righteousness. Such a beneficial and low-cost endeavor would surely meet no resistance.’

Sure enough, three hours later, Nine Marvels received a reply.

"The Sect believes this matter has a high probability of success. They also mentioned that you only have two Nascent Soul Cultivators on your side. Do you want the Nine Marvels Sect to send three of our own in disguise?"

Yang Jing shook his head.

"Actually, I alone am more than enough."

’Even before he had finished refining the Celestial Waterfall Sword, Yang Jing would have dared to make such a claim. Now that the Celestial Waterfall Sword was complete, even if he tried to be modest, Yang Jing believed that within the Nine Heavens World, there were almost no Nascent Soul Cultivators who could compete with him.’

Nine Marvels nodded.

’He knew Yang Jing’s Power better than anyone.’

"After I’ve taken the assets of those Noble Families, I’ll need to ask the Nine Marvels Sect to help me convert the illiquid assets, like Spirit Veins and palaces, into Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicines. I will then need to recruit Independent Cultivators to form an army, and I’ll also have to purchase several Flying Boats from the Nine Marvels Sect."
