Chapter 1734: Chapter 1731: Wan Daorong’s Advancement

The ones arriving are two enormous and luxurious spirit ships; one belongs to the Shang Qing Sect, and the other to Shifang City.

When the two spirit ships were still far away, the divine senses of the powerful cultivators swept over and discovered the people standing at the forefront of the spirit ships.

There were five people standing on the Shang Qing Sect’s spirit ship. Zhantai Chunqiu was in the center, with Wan Daorong and Qin Zhengyang by his side, while Xiao Shuhui and Guanglingzi stood on either side.

Apart from Wang Yuanxiao and Ran Weixian, who left the Shang Qing Sect during the rebellion, all peak Divinity Transformation Realm masters of the Shang Qing Sect had set out together.

There were relatively more people on Shifang City’s spirit ship; in addition to the current Family Head of the Shen Family, Shen Wanjing, there were also seven Divinity Transformation Realm masters accompanying him.

A total of thirteen Divinity Transformation Realm masters from the two factions came, among whom Shen Wanjing and Tantai Chunqiu were both at the Half Step Dao Unity stage.

Upon seeing the lineup on these two spirit ships, members of the Wangxian Sect and others became secretly vigilant and greatly moved.

Just as Xi Hua had forewarned, the Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City placed immense importance on Earth’s resources. Had they spared no effort to capture Yang Fei earlier, even if they succeeded, Wangxian Sect would never have peace again.

Xi Hua had never considered forcibly seizing Earth’s resources from the start. She desired peace and gradual development.

With her little lover, Sun Xingyu, caught in between, she was truly unwilling to ruin the friendship with Earth.

At that moment, seeing so many powerful cultivators from the Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City arrive, Xi Hua felt assured and led the Yan Family members with a smile to greet them.

Members from the Wangxian Sect, seeing this, suddenly realized that the Yan Family was still more inclined towards Shifang City and the Shang Qing Sect.

Or rather, the Yan Family preferred to see a stable Southern Domain situation, not wanting the Southern Domain to be drawn into endless slaughter and conflict.

And after the battle with the Shang Qing Sect, members of the Wangxian Sect also came to understand a fact: Even though the Shang Qing Sect had declined, and the Wangxian Sect seemed superior for the moment, they still couldn’t wipe out the Shang Qing Sect. Even if they could, it would be a pyrrhic victory, only benefitting Shifang City.

After exchanging greetings, Xi Hua briefly described the situation here to members of the Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City.

Shen Wanjing nodded and looked at Lu Qiushang, saying, "Does the Wangxian Sect believe they have the strength to monopolize these Earth resources?"

Lu Qiushang, arrogant and domineering, snorted coldly in response to Shen Wanjing’s sarcasm: "If our Wangxian Sect spares no expense, we can monopolize these Earth’s resources."

Tantai Chunqiu, looking coldly at Lu Qiushang, said: "In that case, let’s battle it out here, till the death."

Shen Wanjing also nodded and said: "Yes, if Master Lu Qiu is unwilling to share peace with us, then we’ll go down together, and no one will be left unscathed."

Upon hearing this, Xi Hua hurriedly laughed and said, "Please calm your anger, seniors. Master Shen, the Shen Family mainly focuses on business and values harmony above all. As for Wangxian Sect and Shang Qing Sect, you are the two oldest sects of the Southern Domain and the backbone of the Southern Domain Cultivation World. If the three of you reckonlessly engage in internal strife, the Southern Domain will be utterly destroyed, leaving it vulnerable for other Immortal Domains to exploit."

Shen Wanjing snorted: "Our Shen Family does have a foothold in the Outer Domain beyond the Southern Domain."

Wan Daorong coughed lightly and said: "Master Shen, don’t speak rashly."

Then he looked towards Lu Qiushang and said: "Master Lu Qiu, does your Wangxian Sect really not want peace and stable cultivation?"

Lu Qiushang snorted coldly and said: "Wan Daorong, you are not the head of the Shang Qing Sect, not qualified to engage in direct dialogue with me."

This remark showed Lu Qiushang’s arrogance and pompousness, but it also carried the intent of instigating conflict.

However, Wan Daorong and Zhantai Chunqiu paid him no mind. Zhantai Chunqiu said indifferently: "Such big talk, yet you’re only at the Half Step Dao Unity stage. One might think you’re already a Great Power in the Dao Unity Realm. A mere Half Step Dao Unity; the Shang Qing Sect also has two."

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

Even the people from Shifang City looked at the five Shang Qing Sect members in shock, continually assessing Wan Daorong, Guanglingzi, Qin Zhengyang, and Xiao Shuhui.

Wan Daorong took a step forward, exuding a grandeur that made all the Divinity Transformation Realm masters present feel uneasy.

"Half Step Dao Unity?" Che Duanping exclaimed in shock.

The rest of the people also took a deep breath in surprise.

Lu Qiushang’s face darkened, his brows heavily furrowed.

Wan Daorong had actually broken through to reach the Half Step Dao Unity stage?

During the last confrontation at the Shang Qing Sect, although someone sensed Wan Daorong’s astonishing combat power, no one thought of him advancing to the Half Step Dao Unity stage.

After all, achieving Half Step Dao Unity is extremely difficult.

Yet who would have thought that just a few months later, Wan Daorong had broken through.

Could it be that the Shang Qing Sect now has two Half Step Dao Unity Realm masters?

Even with the loss of the Tianzhu Peak and Beirong Peak branches, and without Wang Yuanxiao, Ran Weixian, and Bai Xumi, the Shang Qing Sect’s top combat power remains formidable.

Xiao Yixian stared at Wan Daorong in surprise and, after a long while, cupped his hands, saying: "Congratulations, Brother Wan, for taking a step further on the path of cultivation. It is truly delightful!"

Shi Cang also burst into laughter, congratulating: "Congratulations to Master Wan for taking a step further."

The other Divinity Transformation Realm masters affiliated with the Wangxian Sect changed their expressions for a moment and then also offered their congratulations.

Even though they had previously joined the Wangxian Sect in besieging the Shang Qing Sect, now that even members of the Wangxian Sect were congratulating the opponents, they couldn’t fall behind.

The cultivation world is similar to the secular world; there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

In situations where you cannot completely crush your enemy, it’s better to coexist peacefully.

After all, despite the friction between the Shang Qing Sect and the Wangxian Sect over the years, Wan Daorong and Xiao Yixian privately shared a reasonably good relationship and some friendship.

As peers in the Divinity Transformation Realm, being Southern Domain cultivators, they had crossed paths often in over a thousand years of cultivation, sharing some camaraderie.

Xiao Yixian’s status and connections in the Wangxian Sect are similar to Wan Daorong’s in the Shang Qing Sect. After offering his congratulations, seeing that Lu Qiushang remained silent, he knew the Sect Leader wanted to save face, so he said: "It seems this divine medicine from Earth is indeed highly beneficial for us cultivators. Aren’t we pursuing higher realms and longer lives in our cultivation? With the opportunity before us, why should we resort to violence and risk? Instead, we should work together, strive to keep the news sealed, and acquire as much genetic liquid medicine as possible in a short period to enhance the overall strength of our respective sects. Only then, when the news eventually spreads entirely, can we collectively defend our current position."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.

Initially, the Wangxian Sect and those strong cultivators affiliated with it thought they could monopolize Earth’s resources, excluding the Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City.

But now, witnessing Wan Daorong showcasing his Half Step Dao Unity cultivation, they clearly understood that the Wangxian Sect didn’t have the capability to dominate.

And Wan Daorong and Shi Cang’s breakthroughs and advancements due to consuming the genetic liquid medicine greatly spurred everyone, making them realize that only by obtaining as much genetic liquid medicine as possible to boost themselves could they keep up in the forthcoming new era of significant transformation brought about by genetic liquid medicine in the cultivation world.
