Chapter 1497: Post-War Settlement

h.A familiar metallic tang of blood hit me instantly. Unlike the peace outside, the Demon Suppression Division was always filled with a chilling sense of dread.When Shen Changqing first arrived in thi...The commander of the human race!

By the order of Grandmaster Shen, all within Qingguang are considered territory of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land. Those who are not disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land must leave within three days.

Three days later, anyone who remains in the territory of Heavenly Thunder Holy Land without permission will be killed!

The Heavenly Thunder Sovereign held the Heaven Order, his voice echoing throughout the entire Heavenly Thunder Holy Land.

For a moment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

All disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sacred Ground, as well as all cultivators who existed within the Azure Light, changed their expressions.

The former is great joy, the latter is great astonishment.

Previously, the Heavenly Zenith Sect occupied the entire Thunder Domain. Now, the Thunder Saint Land has expanded its territory, driving out other cultivators.

In this way.

Many scattered cultivators expressed dissatisfaction with this.

But even if I'm unhappy, there's nothing I can do about it.

Now, the Tianlei Domain is ruled by the Heavenly Sect. Only forces from the Heavenly Sect's camp and those who have been granted permission by the Heavenly Sect are allowed to establish power within the Tianlei Domain.

Otherwise.

Other cultivators who dare to establish power on their own will face annihilation.

Having issued the command, the Heavenly Thunder Sovereign lowered his head to gaze at the Celestial Decree in his hand. He could tell that this token was itself a treasure of the tenth rank.

In the hands of other clans, it would be called a treasured relic of their lineage.

"Heaven Sect truly is generous, a token representing strength is already a treasure of the tenth rank. Although our Heavenly Thunder Holy Land suffered some losses in this battle, gaining this territory is completely worthwhile."

Although the Jinghu Palace is gone, the situation may not be truly stable!

Heavenly Thunder Lord received the Heavenly Decree, raised his head to look at the heavens, and an unbidden gravity appeared in his eyes.

>

The Imperial troops withdrew.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But the Imperial Temple withdrew its troops because the Heavenly Demons had launched a large-scale invasion.

The fact that the Imperial Palace had to retreat halfway through the war against the human race and return to the Tai Xu Realm for defense tells us just how terrifying this celestial demon invasion is.

Besides...

It's like a barrier between heaven and earth.

The strength of Heavenly Thunder Sacred Land is also spread throughout the heavens. As the front line against the Netherworld, it's impossible for Heavenly Barriers to have no eyes on them at all.

When the underworld launched a large-scale invasion, the Heavenly Thunder Saint Master also received the news.

Now.

Not only was the battle fierce in the Taixu Realm, but the heavens and earth were also in turmoil.

"The depth of the Emperor's Heavenly Shrine is truly terrifying, even facing the Primordial Sovereign it doesn't fall behind. But the Underworld is more than just a Divine Venerable."

If multiple divine beings attack at the same time, even the heavens' barriers will be unable to withstand them.

The current situation won't stay calm for too long, a new conflict will erupt soon!

The Heavenly Thunder Sovereign’s expression was solemn.

He didn't need to think to understand that there would definitely be a battle coming up.

Either a battle against the Jinghu Temple or a battle against the Underworld.

But this doesn't mean the battle is truly over.

Putting aside his thoughts, Tianlei Shengzhu did not continue to think about this matter. The current situation was not something he could control.

The Heaven Thunder Holy Land's territory has expanded now, so we should take this opportunity to develop and at least recover some of its strength.

When receiving the Heavenly Decree at the Tianlei Sacred Land, the Ziyun Sect and Beili Zong, both belonging to the Tianlei Domain, also received the corresponding Heavenly Decree.

Just like the Heaven Thunder Holy Land, both Sects' original territories were all expanded tenfold.

"Very good, very good! With this celestial decree, the Purple Cloud Sect can surely flourish!"

Ziyun Luo tightly gripped the Heavenly Decree, her face beaming with uncontainable joy.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Ziyun clan was one of the earliest to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Sect, or perhaps to Shen Changqing's power.

It's a shame.

Compared to other racial forces, the Ziyun clan has a shallow foundation, and it is difficult to make great progress in hundreds of years.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Before the First Battle of the Imperial Shrine, the Purple Cloud clan's ability to contribute was also extremely limited.

That battle.

The Ziyun clan was just a clan that sent troops to attack several Shinto shrines' camps, wiping out those clans and plundering a batch of resources.

I thought it would be difficult for the Ziyun clan to get back into Tianzong's eyes.

I didn't expect that.

This time, Tianzong occupies the Thunder Domain, and the Ziyun clan can also have a share of the pie.

One day, a decree was issued, expanding the territory of Ziyun Sect tenfold. A vast amount of resources within this expanded area would belong to Ziyun Sect, bringing immeasurable benefits.

Purple Cloud Luo had miraculously broken through to the fourth realm of the Divine King a hundred years ago. Without other opportunities, it was estimated that she would have stopped there in the future.

But now.

Ziyunzong obtained such a great opportunity, allowing Ziyunluo to see even further hope.

It wasn't just him.

Even the powerful Ziyun clan could use this opportunity to further their own interests.

Promote to the God Race!

A wild ambition rose in Ziyun Luo's heart.

If it were in the past, the Ziyun clan's hope of ascending to the Divine Clan would have been slim in the eyes of Ziyunlu. But now, things are completely different.

“As expected, this gamble paid off for the Ziyun clan. As long as the Heavenly Sect stands, the Ziyun clan will surely ascend to the ranks of the gods.”

But I'm unclear, on the day that the Ziyun clan is promoted to a higher rank, was it me or another God King

Ziyunluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she followed suit with Tianlei Shengzhu and directly ordered the other non-Ziyunzong cultivators to leave the sect territory immediately.

If he doesn't leave by the deadline, then he will report to the Heavenly Sect and have a powerful figure from the Heavenly Sect come and deal with it.

>

Not bad.

Purple Cloud Luo directly pulled up the Tianzong banner.

Because he knew very well that the Purple Cloud Sect's strength wasn't strong, and in the current situation it could even be said to be very weak.

As for the battle in Tianlei Domain earlier, many gods and masters fell. The God King was simply an ant that could be wiped out with a wave of his hand. The aftermath of the battle almost killed them all.

If there were no Heavenly Sect to back her up, Purple Cloud Luo would definitely not dare to offend so many cultivators.

But with the support of Tianzong, things would be completely different.

"Damn Purple Cloud Sect, relying on being the Heaven Sect's lackey, they dare to be so arrogant!"

“That’s right, a small clan dares to occupy such a large territory, it's simply outrageous! Even the divine clans haven't seen such a vast domain!”

"It's a shame, if it weren't for Tianzong's face, our clan would have destroyed Ziyun Zong today—"

A number of powerful figures looked in the direction of Ziyun Sect, their eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

Among these powerful figures, there are many old-school deities who would never have looked down upon a clan or sect in the past.

However.

Now, I am being driven out by a clan sect, which is truly humiliating.

But anger is anger.

Although the Ziyun sect is an insignificant ant that can be crushed with a wave of the hand, the Ti Zong behind it is a behemoth. With just a light breath, it could make itself and its forces vanish into thin air.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

So.

Even though the Ziyun Sect was so arrogant, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.

Therefore.

Many cultivators are quite envious.

One Purple Cloud Sect alone could reap such great benefits, occupying a vast sect territory that no divine race had ever possessed before, as well as a wealth of abundant resources.

If even the own sect forces also pledged allegiance to Heaven Sect, would they also be able to receive such benefits

The moment this thought came up, it grew wildly and uncontrollably.

At the moment Zong defeated Jingu, it was destined that this sect would never again be challenged by any force. At this time, to pledge allegiance to Tianzong would be like leaning against a giant tree in the sky.

For a moment.

Many monks became lively and quick-witted.

Seeking refuge in the Heavenly Sect was said to be easy, but they also understood that the current Heavenly Sect wasn't one that could be joined simply by pledging allegiance.

Without a certain amount of strength or advantage, it is impossible to even catch the eye of the Heavenly Sect.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, in this battle, 1,230,000 disciples of our Heavenly Sect died. Forty-six Divine Kings fell, most of whom sacrificed themselves to protect the true disciples and ordinary elders."

Furthermore, Shui Yue, Li Tian, and Jing Hong all fell in this battle. Their main bodies as Dao soldiers shattered, leaving only fragments behind!

In the Heavenly Sect Hall, Pu Zong was reporting on the casualties of this battle. All the elders' faces were heavy with worry.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Of the two million disciples of Tianzong, a direct loss of 1.23 million occurred in this battle, with casualties exceeding 60%. This shows just how fierce the battle was.

At the same time, many gods perished, including three peak masters.

Such a loss.

This was the most painful loss since the establishment of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing's face was cold, his eyes seemed to flash with killing intent, then gradually subsided again. His voice carried no emotional fluctuations.

“Are there any Divine Kings currently residing in the Three Veins where Elders Shuiyue, Litian, and Jinghong are located”

“The Three Palaces Divine Kings were already rare, and in this battle, they all perished. Now the strongest of the Three Palaces is only at the seventh level of the Divine Realm!”

Pu-chung shook his head and said.

The strongest being at the Seventh Heaven of the Divine Realm, it means that the Three Meridians have been completely destroyed.

Originally, the strength of the Three Veins was at the bottom among all branches. Now that all the God Kings have fallen, it has become even worse.

Shen Changqing pondered for a long time before saying, "Since there are no Divine Kings in the Three Meridians, they should be dispersed and integrated into other branches. Let the disciples of the Three Meridians choose their own paths."

If one day a disciple of the Three Meridians sect could become a God King, they could also re-establish a branch lineage.

As for the other fallen disciples and elders, their bones were all collected. This seat will next open up a secret realm space as a tomb to bury the disciples of my Heavenly Sect who died in battle!

At this point, Shen Changqing paused.

“Although this battle at the Imperial Shrine is over, if given another chance, the Imperial Shrine will surely rise again. As for my Heavenly Sect, with hundreds of thousands of disciples falling in this conflict, I shall remember this blood feud.”

But right now with the Heavenly Demons invading, we still need the Divine Temple to hold them back. When the time comes and the Heaven Sect's strength advances further, we will surely settle today's grievances!

Upon hearing this.

Other elders also had murderous intent in their eyes.

> The loss of over a million disciples is indeed a blood feud that is hard to resolve.

If they weren't held back by their lack of strength, some of the elders would want to attack the Imperial Palace right now and make them pay.

Subsequently, Shen Changqing stated: “Not long ago, this seat received news that Youming launched another large-scale invasion. Even the Celestial Emperor Dynasty had a divine sovereign personally intervene. Although they were stopped by the Shang Qiong Divine Emperor, it also shows that Youming wants to take this opportunity to break through the barriers between heaven and earth in one fell swoop.”

The Heavenly Barriers are not just related to all the celestial races, but also to the survival of Tianzong.

Now most of the Imperial Palace's strength has been drawn to the Profound Void Realm to fight against the Heavenly Demons. The heavens and earth barriers are empty, so all disciples should prepare themselves and follow this seat to the heavens and earth barriers to slay the Netherworld spirits!

“I obey!”

All the elders bowed their fists in acceptance. Shen Changqing said, "Next, we will count the spoils of this battle, and all participants will be rewarded according to their merits!"e!The phantom of the third petal wasn't fully formed, let alone reaching a state of solidity.If Shen Changqing relied solely on his own cultivation, he felt it would take at least two or three years f...
