BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114
Chapter 114
In the Northern Region, the territory held by speculated nations was relatively small. An immortal sect couldn’t claim territory arbitrarily, as there were established spheres of influence to prevent disputes and wars between sects.
“We have no aspirations in other parts of the Northern Region. Panacea Peak and the Vast Azure Mountains will belong to the Flying Immortal Sect. Is this acceptable to all?” Li Su spoke again.
After exchanging glances, several sect leaders agreed. They were concerned that Li Su might make excessive demands due to his unfamiliarity with the customary rules among Northern Region sects. However, as long as Li Su only claimed Panacea Peak and the Vast Azure Mountains, they were more than happy to oblige.
While Panacea Peak was a sizable area, it was isolated by the Vast Azure Mountains, which had limited spiritual energy. The other directions were all ocean, inhabited by many sea beasts.
Though hunting and killing demonic beasts could yield significant benefits, facing overly powerful ones could be more dangerous than advantageous. The Seven Great Immortal Sects had no interest in remote places like Panacea Peak. Even if they occasionally passed by, they had no desire to linger.
Panacea Peak might have some cultivation resources, but valuable resources like spirit stone mines were discovered only once every several decades or centuries. The spirit stone mine in Panacea Peak was small and already claimed by three other sects, so the major sects weren’t interested.
Even the late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the Northern Region were not inclined to visit Panacea Peak. After all, the Vast Azure Mountains harbored fourth-tier demonic beasts, which could be very dangerous.
As for the Vast Azure Mountains, despite ancient legends of immortal treasure fragments hidden within, many years had passed. If there were truly immortal treasure fragments, would they still be accessible to modern cultivators? Legends were ultimately just stories.
Therefore, the territorial boundaries of the Flying Immortal Sect were soon established, encompassing only Panacea Peak and the Vast Azure Mountains. The sect leader seemed to have entirely entrusted this matter to Li Su. Before coming here, she hadn’t expected Li Su to make such a significant move, allowing the Flying Immortal Sect to directly step onto the Northern Region’s grand stage.
However, when he combined all the immortal sects in the Northern Region, they were still far from matching her family’s power. However, she had already made up her mind. She had severed ties with her family and wasn’t turning back.
Not turning back didn’t mean she would stop cultivating. On the contrary, she wanted to cultivate better and faster so that one day she could demand true justice for herself.
At this point, her cultivation resources were indeed running low. The spiritual energy in Panacea Peak was sparse, and after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, her demand for spirit stones had become considerable.
Once she fully restored her foundation, her cultivation progress would be exceptionally rapid, increasing her need for various resources. Therefore, Li Su was currently providing the sect leader with significant assistance. The sect leader’s gaze naturally fell upon Li Su.
Li Su was still discussing more specific matters with the leaders or representatives of the seven major sects. In her eyes, there was a subtle, almost imperceptible touch of tenderness. Finally, all the details regarding the Flying Immortal Sect becoming the eighth major sect were confirmed within the room.
“Friend Li, may I inquire if the Flying Immortal Sect has joined the Immortal Alliance?” asked one of the sect leaders after everything was settled. This was the leader of the Silver Feather Sect.
Li Su shook his head, saying, “My Master and I have been cultivating in seclusion in Panacea Peak, and we haven’t joined any alliances. I’m also not familiar with the Immortal Alliance.”
“Senior Li, the Immortal Alliance is a coalition of many immortal sects, united to combat threats posed by rogue cultivators, demonic beasts, and various other entities. Joining an immortal sect is not complicated. There’s an Immortal Alliance branch in Panacea City. You and Senior Shangguan can register there,” explained the leader of the Silver Feather Sect.
Li Su responded with an “Oh.”
It should be similar to the Holy Alliance. The Holy Alliance was a coalition of various sects of magic, while the Immortal Alliance was a coalition of immortal sects.
This kind of organization should be loose, like the Holy Alliance. Even if a magic sect joined, magic sects might still war against each other. There were significant differences between immortal sects and magic sects.
Many cultivators were still willing to abide by the rules. When disputes arise over resources, they might engage in conflicts, but they would not be as ruthless as magic cultivators who had no moral boundaries.
In situations like this, where everyone sat down and discussed matters based on their strength, peacefully dividing resources and spheres of influence was more common.
In the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle prevailed, but it didn’t always lead to violence. There were alternative forms of competition as well. For instance, smaller immortal sects or cultivation families might lack the qualifications to enter this room. This was because it was improbable for a Nascent Soul immortal sect to amass more resources than a Golden Core immortal sect.
Furthermore, even if Li Su were to make ambitious demands and attempt to take over the territory of smaller immortal sects, if those smaller sects lacked support, they would likely relocate without a fuss.
“After joining the Immortal Alliance, there will be an initial assessment of the sect’s rank. If cultivators are in the late Nascent Soul stage, your sect would be considered a fourth-grade immortal sect. If they are in the early to middle stages, it would be classified as a fifth-grade immortal sect,” explained another sect leader.
