300: Eastern Wasteland Holy Land

Upon receiving Long Aotian's order to relocate the headquarters, Long Wudi, Long Bubai, Fen Juechen, Huo Rulie, and others were greatly shocked. They immediately went to the Yunmeng Mountain Range to inspect Longtian Island, which Long Aotian had mentioned.

As soon as they set foot on Longtian Island, the group was stunned speechless. One hundred thousand peaks were arranged in an orderly fashion, like a Five Elements Bagua array, and the extremely pure Spiritual Qi was so dense that it had turned into mist.

Breathing an extra breath here, they all felt their strength increasing.

It was astonishing!

After confirming that Longtian Island was perfectly suitable to be the headquarters of Dragon Heaven Palace, they no longer hesitated and began the grand relocation operation of Dragon Heaven Palace's headquarters.

To facilitate the transfer of personnel, Long Aotian even specially set up several teleportation arrays for them.

The Disciples of Dragon Heaven Palace were also very surprised and puzzled. Why would they relocate the headquarters all of a sudden?

Many Disciples who had originally harbored grievances about Cloud Palace being renamed Dragon Heaven Palace began to act out and express dissatisfaction.

The result!

When this matter reached Long Wudi's ears, the old man was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. His Beloved Grandson had created such a Cultivation Holy Land as Longtian Island for them, and they were still complaining?

This was utterly preposterous!

It was defying the heavens!

In a fit of rage, the old man simply announced that Dragon Peak would separate from Cloud Palace and join Dragon Heaven Palace. From now on, Cloud Palace would not need to be renamed Dragon Heaven Palace. Whoever wanted to join Dragon Heaven Palace could join Dragon Heaven Palace, and whoever wanted to stay in Cloud Palace could stay in Cloud Palace.

At this, all the Disciples of Cloud Palace were dumbfounded, and what stunned them even more was yet to come: Long Aotian, the Grand Palace Master, fully supported the old man's decision and directly moved Dragon Peak and its associated Spiritual Veins, placing Dragon Peak in the center of Longtian Island.

Subsequently, Ice Peak, Gold Peak, Thunder Peak, Water Peak, Wood Peak, Pill Peak, Talisman Peak, Artifact Peak, and others also successively announced their separation from Cloud Palace to join Dragon Heaven Palace. Those unwilling to join remained at their original peaks in Cloud Palace, while those willing to join all took the teleportation arrays to Longtian Island.

What stunned those disgruntled Disciples the most was that Cloud Peak, the core of Cloud Palace, with Cloud Palace Sect Head Yue Yunzhan and his group, also announced their allegiance to Dragon Heaven Palace, leaving Cloud Palace.

Even the Sect Head left, how could this work?!

Ultimately, seventy percent of Cloud Palace's Disciples joined Dragon Heaven Palace, while the remaining thirty percent still identified as Cloud Palace. Grand Elder Wu Ming became the new Cloud Palace Sect Head.

Yes, the mastermind behind constantly stirring up dissatisfaction among the Disciples regarding the renaming of Cloud Palace to Dragon Heaven Palace and the relocation of the headquarters was Wu Ming, one of the former three Grand Elders of Cloud Palace.

However, Wu Ming did not know what he had truly missed by doing this. Long Aotian's subsequent actions made the remaining thirty percent of Disciples regret their decision bitterly, and they all turned their anger towards Wu Ming.

Especially when they learned that Long Aotian had planted two thousand large quasi-Immortal Rank top-grade Spiritual Veins on Longtian Island, and then found themselves restricted by incredibly high thresholds when trying to apply to join Dragon Heaven Palace, they angrily dug up Wu Ming's ancestral grave... In the Eastern Barrens, Long Aotian directly planted two hundred large quasi-Immortal Rank top-grade Spiritual Veins, instantly transforming the resource-poor Eastern Barrens into a Cultivation Holy Land.

Even State-Level Giant Cultivation Factions rarely possessed more than ten quasi-Immortal Rank top-grade and top-grade Spiritual Veins, yet Long Aotian directly planted two hundred of them deep underground in the Eastern Barrens. To prevent malicious extraction of these planted Spiritual Veins, he also set up protective arrays.

With the Spiritual Veins planted, the hundreds of millions of Cultivators in the entire Eastern Barrens completely erupted in excitement, while Cloud Palace was left dumbfounded.

Because at this time, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Cloud Palace was not as dense and Advanced as outside, which made the remaining Disciples of Cloud Palace feel as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

Long Aotian even planted two hundred large quasi-Immortal Rank top-grade Spiritual Veins in the ordinary regions of the Eastern Barrens, so what about Longtian Island?

How many could there be?

For a time, everyone began to inquire.

The news that Longtian Island had two thousand large quasi-Immortal Rank top-grade Spiritual Veins planted was subsequently spread, shocking the entire Eastern Barrens.

Those Cultivators who had been disgruntled and remained in Cloud Palace instead of going to Longtian Island thereby became a complete joke. Walking on the road wearing Cloud Palace Disciple uniforms, countless gazes like those looking at fools were directed at them, which made these once high-and-mighty Disciples grow even more resentful towards Wu Ming.

"Damn Wu Ming, it's all his fault that we can't join Dragon Heaven Palace now!"

"Currently, the conditions for joining Dragon Heaven Palace require a Martial Dao Aptitude to reach the level of a hundred-thousand-year Prodigy. Most of us who stayed in Cloud Palace have been eliminated!"

"Yes, I heard that the Grand Palace Master of Dragon Heaven Palace is already preparing to build a super inter-Plane teleportation array. This teleportation array is said to be able to transport people to another Martial Dao Continent Plane where one can Ascend to Immortality. However, the conditions for using this array are that one's Martial Dao Aptitude must at least reach the level of a ten-thousand-year Prodigy, and one's Cultivation must Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage or Ascension Realm. But if one is a Disciple of Dragon Heaven Palace, there are no such restrictions; they can use it freely."

"We people aren't even thousand-year Prodigies, let alone ten-thousand-year Prodigies. This scoundrel Wu Ming, for his own selfish reasons, has cut off our path to Ascension to Immortality! Brothers, we must not let him off!"

"That's right, we must make Wu Ming pay! Didn't he want the Wu family to control Cloud Palace? Let's kill off every single member of their Wu family and completely erase the Wu family from the Eastern Barrens!"

"…"

The enraged Disciples of Cloud Palace, under the constant barrage of major news released by Dragon Heaven Palace, began to ruthlessly target Wu Ming.

Especially when it was announced that ten days before Long Aotian's wedding, the Eternal Leaf Dynasty would bring one hundred thousand giant Cultivation Factions to attend, and that the Sect Heads of these one hundred thousand giant Cultivation Factions were all Grand Elders of Dragon Heaven Palace, the entire Eastern Barrens was once again stunned.

This time, those Disciples who remained in Cloud Palace also completely saw red and began to plan to personally deal with Wu Ming.

Wu Ming's Cultivation was profound, and they couldn't defeat him directly, but they could use poison! If poison pills didn't work, then poisonous gas. As long as Wu Ming was not eliminated, their hatred would remain unresolved.

Just one day before Long Aotian's wedding, Cloud Heaven Palace received intelligence that Wu Ming had died from severe poisoning, and Cloud Palace announced its disbandment... Hearing this news, Long Aotian and others couldn't help but sigh in lament:

One of the two former giants of the Eastern Barrens had thus vanished... Of course, while it was said to have vanished, more people felt that Cloud Palace had merely changed its appearance to continue developing. Although Dragon Heaven Palace was said to be a newly established Sect Faction that had separated from Cloud Palace, its personnel were almost entirely the original members of Cloud Palace.

In fact, Long Wudi had two more considerations in deciding to let Dragon Heaven Palace separate from Cloud Palace:

First, he did not want the development of Dragon Heaven Palace to be emotionally constrained by Cloud Palace.

Second, Cloud Palace was not even a sub-State-Level Giant Cultivation Faction before. The addition of one hundred thousand giant Cultivation Factions' Sect Heads would clearly lower their status. But if it were a newly established Sect, without needing to consider the Cloud Palace factor, then Dragon Heaven Palace would be a truly extraordinary Faction...

A brand new headquarters.

A brand new Sect.

A brand new Eastern Barrens.

A brand new aura of Heaven and Earth.

A brand new pair of bride and groom.

Long Aotian and Feng Zixian's grand wedding was solemnly held on Longtian Island...
