I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 483: Decisive Battle (Part 2)

After numerous cultivators flew outside the city, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the demons.

Various magical items and treasures emerged endlessly, with groups of three to five constantly fighting and killing each other. The area outside the Holy City had become a living hell. Before long, many demons fell, and many human cultivators also died. Both sides fought relentlessly, using all kinds of means without regard for their own lives.

This battle was truly brutal, lasting from day to night, and from night to day again, continuing for two days and one night!

At this point, whether it was the demons or the human cultivators, both sides had suffered heavy losses, with more than half of their forces damaged. Everyone was exhausted and unable to fight any longer. Just as the Old Sage was contemplating whether or not to use a top-tier spiritual treasure, the demons couldn't hold on any longer.

They had come to the Immortal World to plunder treasures and absorb the blood essence of cultivators, but they didn't expect to suffer such heavy losses.

After a moment of hesitation, many demons started to retreat through the spatial channels. The Old Sage did not stop them. He was now solely focused on ascending to the Upper Realm. As long as he could repel these demons, it would be enough.

As for whether the Devil World would invade again in the future, that was left to the later cultivators. He believed that the later cultivators would be more powerful and wise than their predecessors, capable of resolving these matters.

However...

When many demons returned through the spatial rifts, there were also many magical beasts that did not follow them back, but flew towards various places in the Central Province.

Some sect cultivators were shocked to see this scene. Could it be that these demons still harbored evil intentions?

The Old Sage, however, knew more about the situation. "Don't worry, these demons can no longer cause any trouble. They won't bring destruction to the Immortal World. We just need to be more vigilant in the future. Moreover, this is also beneficial for our Immortal World. These demons that don't return to the Devil World will gradually shed their devilish aura and become demonic beasts in the generations to come. They might even enhance the strength of our Immortal World. Many demonic beasts in our Immortal World came into being this way."

"I see." Hearing what the Old Sage said, many people felt relieved. However, cultivators like sect leaders and deputy sect leaders immediately sent messages to their sects to strengthen their guard.

The Old Sage looked at the spatial rifts in the sky with great anticipation.

As long as the spatial rifts closed, his master, Rainbow Ascendant, would be able to determine the closeness of the connection between the Immortal World and the Poor Thousand Great World.

The invasion of the Devil World was not a simple matter. The previous invasion ten thousand years ago almost caused the entire Immortal World to fall. The two sides fought for hundreds of years before finally stopping.

The reason why this time was so easy was because the Immortal World had become stronger, and the cultivators were full of fighting spirit. Another reason was the relationship between the two realms. After the battle ten thousand years ago, the connection between the Immortal World and the Great World became thin, and the same was true for the Devil World. Crossing between realms became difficult. Therefore, only a few demons from the Devil World were able to come this time, unlike the large numbers from ten thousand years ago.

However...

If after this time, the connection between the Immortal World and the Poor Thousand Great World became close again, perhaps it would also become close with the Devil World. In that case, the next invasion might not be just a few demons.

Of course, the next invasion would not happen until ten thousand years later. Those who were currently in the Immortal World would probably not live that long.

Three days later, as a large number of demons returned, the spatial rifts, which were no longer supported by devilish qi, began to close one by one. When they closed, the rules of the Immortal World seemed to be slightly affected, and many things were slowly changing.

In Yunzhou...

In the Woodland Immortal City...

"Hiss! I didn't expect it to be resolved so easily. It's really unexpected," Fellow Daoist Deng exclaimed in astonishment upon hearing the news from the Central Province.

Lin Qing nodded. "Indeed, it's quite surprising. We originally thought that even if we won the battle, it would take many years to completely drive away the demons. But unexpectedly, they retreated in just a few days."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to Zhongzhou and probably gained a lot of benefits," said Deng, a fellow daoist, full of anticipation.

"Benefits?" Lin Qing shook her head and smiled.

According to the news from the First Rank Pavilion, although the human cultivators won the battle, nearly half of the cultivators perished. Three Nascent Soul late stage cultivators from the Central Saint City also fell. This is definitely not a good thing.

Just as Lin Qing was about to continue speaking, she received another message, and her expression became complicated after reading it.

"Lin fellow daoist, what's wrong?" Deng, the fellow daoist, asked curiously when he saw Lin Qing's expression.

Lin Qing sighed, "The demons have retreated to the Devil World, but many Magical Beasts have stayed in Zhongzhou. Among them, there are Nascent Soul Magical Beasts. After staying behind, it seems that they are unwilling to remain in Zhongzhou and have started spreading towards other provinces, seemingly intending to take root."

"What?" Deng was shocked for a moment, and his face became gloomy and uncertain.

"In that case, it seems that I need to go back early and make preparations. Thank you for your hospitality during this time, Lin fellow daoist," Deng said to Lin Qing. He was going back to his Lanzhou.

Lin Qing nodded, and Deng suddenly said, "By the way, Lin fellow daoist, after I go back, I will persuade others to withdraw the Lanzhou cultivators who have occupied Yunzhou. The occupation of Yunzhou was also due to the influence of the demons. Now that this matter is resolved, it is not appropriate for us to continue occupying it."

"Hahaha." Upon hearing this, Lin Qing laughed.

This was certainly good news for her Yunzhou. However, she could also imagine the real reasons behind it. One was that her Lin family was powerful, and the demons might go to their Lanzhou, so the cultivators needed to defend it. Another reason was that after this battle, both Cangzhou and Zhongzhou suffered losses, making it a good opportunity for them to intervene. Compared to Cangzhou and Zhongzhou, the resources in their Yunzhou were insignificant.

"Fellow daoist, I will see you off the city," Lin Qing offered to accompany Deng out of the city, and Deng did not refuse.

The two flew in the air, their relationship close enough that outsiders would think they were long-time friends.

In Zhongzhou, after the demons retreated and the spatial rifts were closed one by one, the three Divine Transformation cultivators immediately showed joy on their faces. The rules of heaven and earth were slowly changing. Although the changes were not yet obvious, they believed that within five years at most, the closure between the Immortal World and the impoverished Thousand Worlds would become tight again. At that time, even they, who were only at the Divine Transformation early stage, could ascend through the void.

After the joy, the three Divine Transformation cultivators immediately became busy again. After all, there might still be dangers during the ascension, so they needed to prepare early. The old man Bai Shan also began preparing to break through to the Divine Transformation.

As for whether the Magical Beasts that did not return to the Devil World would pose a threat to other provinces, they no longer cared.

Compared to ascension, this was nothing.

Three months after Deng returned to Lanzhou, many Lanzhou cultivators who had originally occupied Yunzhou began to withdraw one by one. Although most of the resources in Yunzhou had been taken, for those cultivators who originally had influence in Yunzhou, this was a great thing. They were eager to return to Yunzhou.

However, at this time, the Lin family stepped in to stop them, of course, for the sake of the Magical Beasts.

It should be noted that there were many powerful Magical Beasts among those that did not return to the Devil World. Although they posed little threat to Zhongzhou, they were a significant threat to other provinces, especially small provinces like Yunzhou.
