With the sects suffering heavy losses, Spirit Cloud Palace issued new rules and orders. Any sect that could not complete the mission would be stripped of their title as one of the 72 unorthodox groups. At the same time, they would be stripped of half of their Immortal Spirit Meridians and rewarded to the sects that defended the front line of the battlefield. As for those families and itinerant cultivators outside of the 72 unorthodox groups, because they did not participate in the battle, they did not have the right to live independently with the Immortal Spirit Meridians!
The order immediately caused countless curses! Many people jumped and cursed!
"Damn it, is Spirit Cloud Palace still an orthodox immortal sect? They're just not giving us a way out! "
"Which bastard came up with this idea? Don't these people have any shame? "
"How are they immortal cultivators? They're not even as upright as the fiend sects! I heard that the fiend sects have an agreement. If a sect can't hold on, they don't have to participate in the battle! What about us immortal disciples? We can only eat each other! It's blatant destruction, the big fish eating the small fish! We have no way to live! "
Many low-level disciples ran to the territories of the four upper sects, knelt on the ground and cried, begging for a way out. Then, they knelt for many days. Not only did no one come out to speak, but they were also beaten up with big sticks.
Many people cried as they walked, "What should we do? What should we do? "
"There's no way out. How did we end up like this?"
Someone else shouted, "Rebel, rebel! Fight them! "
More people shook their heads and sighed, saying hatefully, "What do you have to rebel? There are only a few Dao Integration cultivators left in the sect. Can they be a match for them? Spirit Cloud Palace has so many high-level cultivators. They only need to send an Earth Immortal to destroy our sect! "
"What do you think we should do? Do we surrender to the four sects? Damn it, I'd rather die than surrender! As the leader of the immortal sects, you can't bully people like this! "
"Then surrender to the sects that still have strength! I think the Four Divine Sect is not bad. Not only did they not suffer any damage over the years, their strength is also gradually increasing. There are more and more Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Step cultivators and hundreds of Dao Integration cultivators. There are also seven or eight Earth Immortals. Sect Leader Immortal Qin is even more impressive. He can stand firm in the face of the Spirit Cloud Palace's crazy suppression. I think we should surrender to them! "
"Yes, yes! Take our Immortal Spiritual Veins away and join the Four Divine Sect before anyone from the Spirit Cloud Palace arrives! "
As a result, many small sects and big families were forced to disband. Their core members took the traction array disc and asked to join the Four Divine Sect.
When Qin Di heard the news, he gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures and decided to accept anyone. He specifically waved the Mountain Driving Whip at the edge of the sect's territory where there were originally no spirit veins, creating a group of mountain peaks. Then, he set up a Tier 3 grand formation outside to protect it. He named the mountain "Utopia"!
What is Utopia? Most people didn't understand, so Qin Di didn't bother to explain. He set up a stone tablet outside the mountain gate with these three words carved on it. He was the Sect Leader of the Four Divine Sects. If he wanted to do this, no one could say anything.
Following that, he made a series of decrees, requiring the various sects that were stationed in Utopia to live in harmony and not to kill! If there were any conflicts, they could settle it outside or on the Life and Death Platform. He built a high platform in the middle of the mountain peaks of Utopia. It could be used as a sacrifice to the heavens or to perform on stage. Usually, it was used as the Life and Death Platform to settle disputes.
He also requested that all the cultivators who joined him had to abide by the laws of the Four Divine Sect and contribute to the sect. Only after reaching a certain number of points and entering Utopia for more than 200 years could they be considered official disciples of the Four Divine Sect after a careful examination. He called this long process' assimilation ', which meant loyalty and enlightenment.
It was not impossible for these cultivators to maintain the independence of their sects after entering Utopia. However, they had to sign an agreement and part on good terms. The Four Divine Sect would provide them with protection, and they had to pay a certain amount of spirit crystals or 20% of the immortal spirit veins when they left.
The moment these decrees were released, they were immediately welcomed. That was because these people were already at their wits' end. They couldn't defeat the Spirit Cloud Palace, and if they didn't fight, their spirit veins would be snatched away. Without the spirit veins, there would be no foundation for cultivation. With the spirit veins and a safe environment, the new generation of disciples would be able to grow. Most importantly, if an Earth Immortal was born in the future, there would be a chance to restore their sect. It was precisely because of this that many people liked this kind of humane setting. They all came to the Four Divine Sect and signed an agreement.
At the same time, more and more aristocratic families and itinerant cultivators joined the Four Divine Sect.
Of course, there were also people who chose other sects or even directly joined the four Upper Sects.
However, he wouldn't know if he didn't compare them, but once he did, he would be able to see the difference. If they joined the four Upper Sects, their immortal spirit veins would soon not be their own. They might not even be able to guarantee their personal safety. They might be framed and purged at any time! Moreover, there was no way to maintain independence. The close relationship between master and disciple, father and son, and so on would be torn apart. Their original sect would be completely destroyed before they would be accepted by the other party.
However, joining the Four Divine Sect was different! Utopia was equivalent to a protected union. Every faction was basically independent, and the immortal spirit veins were still their own. The relationship between master and disciple was still the same. Moreover, they could advance or retreat. If they advanced, they could accumulate points to apply to join the Four Divine Sect. If they retreated, they could pay a certain amount of spirit crystals to restore their original sect's name.
Days passed, and the war continued. More and more people joined the Four Divine Sect, and the area of Utopia became larger and larger. The overall strength of the Four Divine Sect also increased!
According to the agreement, these sects that were stationed in Utopia had the obligation to contribute to the Four Divine Sect! If they wanted to join the Four Divine Sect, they had to contribute more. If they didn't want to join, they had to complete the basic tasks. These sects had suffered great losses from the war. Many Dao Integration and Earth Immortals had died. As independent sects, they could not resist the suppression of the four Upper Sects. However, they still had a certain amount of strength if they joined forces. Especially with the Four Divine Sect leading the way, they could fight against the four Upper Sects!
Because of this, the Four Divine Sect rose day by day. They were almost about to become the fifth Upper Sect!
The sect leader of the Spirit Cloud Palace, Zhang Chang, and the Spirit Immortal, Zhang Lu, hid in the Small World and constantly received news from the outside world. They felt very unhappy every day! They felt very aggrieved and did not feel happy at all. From time to time, they would gather high-level Earth Immortals to discuss countermeasures. However, they could not think of a way to destroy the Four Divine Sect!
If they wanted to destroy the Four Divine Sect, they had to attack the Ethereal Immortal Peak! However, according to the information from their spies, there were not only several third-stage immortal formations on the Ethereal Immortal Peak, but even fourth-stage immortal formations had been set up! It was said that immortal stones had already been born on the Ethereal Immortal Peak. This meant that a fourth-stage immortal spirit vein had appeared there!
At the mention of a fourth-stage immortal spirit vein, Zhang Lu felt very upset. Envy, jealousy, and hatred surged up!
Because according to the laws and principles, a fourth-stage immortal spirit vein could not be born in the Primordial World! Fourth-stage immortal formations were very precious even in the Spiritual Realm! The Spiritual Realm was so big. There were countless sects and families. Those who truly possessed fourth-stage immortal spirit veins were all existences that dominated an area. Even the Spirit Cloud Palace's extension in the Spiritual Realm, the "Lingxiao Hall", only had a fourth-stage immortal spirit vein in five large branch palaces. In addition, the headquarters had a fifth-stage immortal spirit vein. And those branch palace masters were all cultivators at the pinnacle of the Spirit Immortal Stage!
When Zhang Lu was sent to the Primordial World, he never thought that a fourth-stage immortal spirit vein would appear in such a place that lacked Spirit Qi. He was currently a fourth-stage Spirit Immortal. Generally speaking, a third-stage immortal spirit vein could at most allow him to advance to a fifth-stage Spirit Immortal. Now, he felt that the Spirit Qi was insufficient when he cultivated every day. It was extremely difficult for him to advance further. However, a fourth-stage immortal spirit vein was different. It could push him all the way to the pinnacle of the Spirit Immortal Peak. Because of this, he hoped more than anyone to destroy the Four Divine Sect and seize the small world on the Ethereal Immortal Peak!
However, he had already made a move earlier. Not only did he not gain any advantage, he was instead captured by the other party. He was disgraced and disgraced, and he lost all his face!
To him, losing face was secondary. His own safety was more important! If it was said that the first time he killed his way to the Four Divine Sect, it could be said that he was ignorant and could be redeemed with the immortal spirit vein after he was captured. But what about the second time? Would he infuriate Qin Di and kill him in a fit of rage? This matter was really hard to say!
