The bloody battle finally ended with the Black Demon Sect's Sect Leader being controlled by Chen Zong.
However, the losses were disastrous.
The Black Demon Sect's forces were divided into three groups. The group that attacked the Royal Martial City was almost completely annihilated. Only two or three of them were left. The other two groups had more survivors, but no one dared to disobey the Black Demon Sect's Sect Leader's orders.
On the True Martial Sect's side, the troops led by Chen Zong suffered more than half of their losses. The other two groups suffered even more disastrous losses, as high as eighty percent.
It could be said that after this battle, the number of martial artists in the entire Eastern Continent had sharply decreased. There were only a few True Martial Realm experts left. The overall level of the Eastern Continent had regressed by more than fifty years.
However, in exchange, the Eastern Continent was at peace. Following this, the Eastern Continent would be in a relatively peaceful development environment. For the newly re-established Chen Family, this was undoubtedly the best time to develop.
After the battle, Chen Zong asked the Black Demon Sect's Sect Leader to transport all of the Black Demon Sect's wealth to the Flying Martial City's Chen Family. This was the accumulation of the Black Demon Sect for many years. It was incomparably huge. Chen Zong didn't let the Chen Family swallow it all. Instead, he gave a small part of it to the True Martial Sect. After all, the True Martial Sect had suffered heavy losses in this battle.
For Chen Zong, it was a small part. However, for the True Martial Sect, it was a large amount of wealth. It was enough for the True Martial Sect to recuperate and restore themselves after the battle. However, it would still take a long time, at least ten years or more.
However, this was also a good thing for the True Martial Sect's upper echelons. It would be easier to manage and control everything. After development, it would be completely under the True Martial Sect's control.
The True Martial Sect's Sect Leader, Shangguan Zhenlong, initiated an important meeting. As the Vice Sect Leader, Chen Zong naturally participated.
The content of the meeting was naturally about the future development of the True Martial Sect. Everyone expressed their own opinions. Chen Zong listened without saying anything. However, in the end, Shangguan Zhenlong took the initiative to ask Chen Zong.
"My suggestion is to pass down the True Martial Sect as a real Sect, and not as the True Martial Alliance." Chen Zong said, thinking of the various sects in the Longtu Region.
If one wanted to develop and improve the level of martial arts, there must be competition and a hundred flowers blooming.
As the first Sect of the Eastern Continent, the True Martial Sect was the most powerful and aloof sect. Below it, other sects and forces could be established and competed with each other. With pressure, there would be motivation.
In fact, many people disagreed with Chen Zong's suggestion, because doing so would undoubtedly divide the power in their hands.
However, no one dared to directly raise an objection.
Shangguan Zhenlong pondered.
In the end, Shangguan Zhenlong agreed with Chen Zong's suggestion.
Perhaps they would have less power in their hands, but in exchange, they would be able to restore and improve the martial arts standards of the Eastern Continent. Why not?
Just as Chen Zong had said, it would be better to make the True Martial Arts Sect the number one Martial Arts Sect in the Eastern Continent and become the Holy Land of Martial Arts.
With this thought in mind, those who were originally against the idea all gave up on the idea.
The second matter was about the Black Demon Sect.
Now that the Black Demon Sect no longer existed, there were still many demon martial artists who were still alive. How should he deal with them?
Kill them all?
After a series of suggestions, he finally asked for Chen Zong's opinion.
"Since we want to make the True Martial Arts Sect into the Holy Land of Martial Arts, then those demon martial artists can choose some of them with potential to become disciples of the True Martial Arts Sect. As for the rest, they can develop on their own without violating the laws of the True Martial Arts Sect." After thinking for a while, Chen Zong said, "Maybe there will be no need to ban them in the future. They can freely choose whether to become a demon martial artist or not."
In the past, it was the Black Demon Sect that forced people to become demon martial artists, and the integration of demon beast bloodlines was extremely dangerous. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to become a demon martial artist. After all, the probability of failure was very high, and failure meant death.
After a series of meetings, the development of the Eastern Continent was redefined.
After returning to the Chen Family, Chen Zong was not in a hurry to leave the Eastern Continent. He still had some things to do for the Chen Family and leave behind a foundation. Only then could he leave without any worries and better wander the world, pursue the advancement of martial arts, and the path of the sword.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chen Family recruited another group of martial artists.
The current Chen Family was famous far and wide because of Chen Zong. Other than Chen Zong, Daoist Master Huan Yun, Meng Xinping, and the Rakshasa Swordswoman were also quite famous.
Among the new martial artists that joined the Chen Family, there were four True Martial Realm martial artists. All of them became guest elders of the Chen Family. Among these four True Martial Realm martial artists, two of them were demon martial artists.
In addition, there were as many as sixty-nine Qi Refining martial artists, and as many as one hundred and thirty-five late-stage Qi Refining martial artists.
Among these Qi Refining and Qi Refining martial artists, Chen Zong went through three rounds of selection and selected five Qi Refining martial artists and eight Qi Refining martial artists to focus on nurturing.
Being able to receive Chen Zong's nurturing, these eight people were so excited that they could not sleep for several days, making the others extremely envious.
The reason Chen Zong focused on nurturing these people was naturally to leave behind enough strength for the Chen Family. Although the others were not selected, they could still receive some guidance from Chen Zong.
As long as these people were strong, they could better protect the Chen Family and give the Chen Family's direct bloodline time to grow.
After that, Chen Zong took the Black Demon Sect Leader, who was under his control, to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. He had the Black Demon Sect Leader use his methods to control two mid-tier Level 8 demon beasts and bring them back to the Chen Family as their guardian beasts.
A mid-tier Level 8 demon beast was equivalent to a Lv 8 True Martial Realm martial artist. The bloodline of these two mid-tier Level 8 demon beasts was not ordinary. Their strength was comparable to an ordinary Lv 9 True Martial Realm martial artist, further strengthening the Chen Family's strength.
The people that were nurtured were only a layer of protection. The last layer of protection was the Black Demon Sect Leader.
Chen Zong, who already knew the tyrannical power of the Three Nether Control Technique, knew that if he did not take the initiative to remove it, the Black Demon Sect Leader would be completely under his control. However, at the same time, the Black Demon Sect Leader would have an independent mind and could cultivate on his own.
However, the Black Demon Sect Leader's potential had been excavated to the extreme. It was difficult for his strength to increase, but he was already very strong. Shangguan Zhenlong was not his opponent at all. It could be said that in the current Eastern Land, except for Chen Zong, no one could be his opponent.
After demonizing, the Black Demon Sect Leader's strength would soar a lot. This was because the demon beast bloodline he had integrated was a kind of flood dragon bloodline, which was very powerful.
At the same time, the seemingly old Black Demon Sect Leader had a longer lifespan due to the integration of the demon beast bloodline. He could live for at least a hundred years.
After a hundred years, the Chen Family would either become strong or decline. However, Chen Zong did not care so much.
There was no such thing as an eternal existence. Everything should be done with all his strength and go with the flow.
In addition to doing his best to develop the Chen Family's strength, Chen Zong also took a lot of time to accompany his father and other family members. He taught Chen Lie martial arts and played with his little sister Chen Lan.
Chen Lan, this chubby little girl, was very clingy to Chen Zong.
Everything was developing in a good direction.
Although during this period of time, his cultivation time had been greatly reduced, Chen Zong did not feel anxious or complain at all. It was as if he had put down all his worries and was completely relaxed.
He did not expect that this kind of relaxation would give him an unexpected surprise.
Chen Zong, who was playing with Chen Lan, suddenly felt the True Power in his body rapidly flowing. It rushed through the six True Meridians that had been expanded to the extreme. Then, it rushed towards the seventh True Meridian, wanting to open it up.
"I'm about to break through." Chen Zong showed a hint of joy. He quickly controlled his True Power, fearing that it would hurt his little sister Chen Lan. After handing Chen Lan over to his aunt, he turned into a stream of light and quickly left. His rapid and hurried manner was confusing to others.
When he reached a place where there was no one, Chen Zong immediately let go of the restraints on his True Power. He operated the Art of Traversing, allowing his pure and tyrannical True Power to surge. Then, he attacked the seventh True Meridian.
There were nine True Meridians in the human body. Warriors of the True Martial Realm could feel it. As for the so-called tenth True Meridian, it was a hidden True Meridian.
Every True Meridian was sealed. One had to use their own True Power to open it bit by bit.
Chen Zong's True Power was extremely pure and tyrannical. Under the impact, the blockage in the seventh True Meridian was quickly opened.
The moment the seventh True Meridian was opened, the Art of Traversing surged within. Chen Zong felt as if he was about to fly.
True Power was like a surging tide, surging endlessly. A powerful force filled his body, and then quickly spread out. It drilled out from every pore on his body, forming a layer of True Power on the surface of his skin.
Chen Zong tested the strength of the True Power on his body and smiled.
The True Power on the body of an ordinary warrior in the early stage of the seventh level of the True Martial Realm was limited. At best, it could withstand the attack of an ordinary warrior in the early stage or middle stage of the True Martial Realm. If it was an all-out attack from a warrior in the peak stage of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, it could break through and hurt the body.
However, Chen Zong's True Power on his body was even more tyrannical. Even if he stood there and let a warrior in the sixth level of the True Martial Realm attack, it would not be damaged at all.
The strength of the True Power on his body was closely related to the strength of his own True Power.
Chen Zong's original True Power was much purer than that of an ordinary warrior in the True Martial Realm, at least by a large level. Coupled with the extraordinary Art of Traversing, his True Power was even purer. Chen Zong had crossed a large level to cultivate the Art of Traversing, so the purity of his True Power had increased again.
In terms of the purity and power of the Traversing True Power, Chen Zong was comparable to an ordinary warrior in the peak stage of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, and even slightly better.
The strength of the True Power on his body formed by the Traversing True Power was naturally not to be underestimated.
"Even an ordinary warrior in the peak stage of the eighth level of the True Martial Realm would not be able to break through my True Power on his body." Chen Zong thought to himself. Without a doubt, this had significantly improved his ability to protect himself.
"Since I've broken through, I should leave." Chen Zong stood up and looked into the distance. His eyes became deep and long.
Although his family was good, it was not suitable for him to take care of himself. Furthermore, he was still very young and had high aspirations and goals. He still needed to go out and explore.
Now, the development of the Chen family was on the right track and stable. They also had enough strength to protect themselves. His cultivation had also broken through to the seventh level of the True Martial Realm. He had also found a descendant of the Xu family. He had also given the cultivation method and martial arts of the Dragon-slaying Immortal Xu Zhengji to him. He had fulfilled his last wish.
It was time to leave.
After returning to the family, Chen Zong met with his father, Chen Zhengtang, Chen Chuyun, Immortal Huan Yun, and the others. After a short conversation, Chen Zong also expressed his intention to leave.
There was a moment of silence.
"Do your best, and pay attention to your own safety." Chen Zhengtang patted Chen Zong's shoulder and said. He knew this day would come, but when it came, he still felt sad.
"Remember to come back and visit when you have time." Immortal Huan Yun also smiled.
