159: Chapter 159 The Demon Race's Foundation!

...

As for the other Blessed Land, it was placed at Panshi Peak.

The second Blessed Land is an Earth Dao Blessed Land.

To be precise, it is the embryonic form of an Earth Dao Blessed Land.

The origin of this Blessed Land is quite complicated.

When hunting Sea Ape Beasts in the North Sea back then, Daoist Yun Du obtained a wisp of Earth Dao heaven and earth qi from Immortal Master Mountain Clearing.

The quality of this wisp of heaven and earth qi was not top-tier, but its advantage lay in its purity, without any Impurities.

Daoist Yun Du himself Cultivates the Cloud Dao, so he had no use for Earth Dao heaven and earth qi.

Immortal Master Mountain Clearing Cultivates the Way of Wood, so he likewise had no use for it.

Originally, Daoist Yun Du wanted to nurture an Earth Dao Blessed Land, but considering the Southern Mountains, the Blessed Lands were too concentrated, and the Spiritual Qi was not enough to support the overall situation.

Therefore, this wisp of heaven and earth qi eventually fell into Shi Jian's hands.

Plus, it indeed suited the bear Yao, so Daoist Yun Du naturally did him a favor; Shi Jian didn't ask him for it, which was Shi Jian following the rules.

But if Daoist Yun Du didn't give it, it would be him who was somewhat out of line.

After all, Shi Jian had contributed a lot; if he didn't thoughtfully offer it, wouldn't it make him look like he didn't know the rules and was narrow-minded?

After Shi Jian got it, he soon had an idea.

Although he couldn't use the Earth Dao heaven and earth qi himself, placing it at Panshi Peak to serve as the foundation for the Panshi Lineage was perfectly appropriate.

Ultimately, Shi Jian used this wisp of heaven and earth qi to open up an Earth Dao Blessed Land in the Northern Mountain Range, which was interred within Panshi Peak.

Panshi Peak is located right in the center of the Northern Mountain Range; its texture is incredibly hard, and it naturally contains rich Earth-attribute Spiritual Qi.

Shi Jian sealed that wisp of Earth Dao heaven and earth qi into a hard stone and then buried it in the very center of Panshi Peak's mountainside...

Subsequently, he selected six Earth-attribute spiritual mountains from the outside and arranged them around Panshi Peak to form a simple Spirit Gathering terrain.

The Earth-attribute Spiritual Qi from the six spiritual mountains converged toward Panshi Peak day and night, nourishing that wisp of Earth Dao heaven and earth qi.

Only a few short years had passed.

Within the mountainside of Panshi Peak, a faint but stable fluctuation of Earth Dao spiritual opportunity could already be felt, and the peak had become significantly more majestic than before.

The embryonic form of the Blessed Land had begun to take shape.

And the Panshi Lineage benefited from this, with Shi Pan naturally benefiting the most; it could also greatly improve the Bloodline of this lineage.

Not to say it would cause their Bloodline to mutate, but at the very least, they would have a deeper affinity for the Way of Earth.

Counting it this way, there were a total of three Golden Core Legacy sites in the Northern Mountain Range.

Way of Thunder — Zixiao Peak's Thunder Pool Blessed Land.

Way of Fire — Kuangdou Peak's Chijiang Pool Blessed Land.

Way of Earth — Panshi Peak's Earth Dao Blessed Land (Embryonic Form).

Three Great Daos, three paths to the Golden Core.

If any of the Yao Race under Shi Jian's command showed outstanding talent in the future, they could choose the corresponding Blessed Land to Cultivate based on their own attributes and charge toward the Golden Core hurdle.

"Four in the south, three in the north, that's seven Blessed Lands in total."

Shi Jian lay prone on the top of Zixiao Peak, counting on his paws: "Looking at the entire Ming Prefecture, I'm afraid there isn't a second family with this kind of foundation."

"You certainly know how to calculate."

Zi Xiao's voice rang out: "But don't forget, no matter how many Blessed Lands there are, without enough time to accumulate, it's all for naught."

"Those embryonic Blessed Lands won't amount to much without several hundred years."

"What's the rush? I have plenty of time."

"If one or two hundred years won't do, then three hundred, four hundred, or five hundred!"},{

"If one day I can reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will surely stir up a Great Human-Yao Tribulation!"

...

...

Besides the changes in the Spiritual Veins and Blessed Lands.

The "population" of the Northern Mountain Range had also expanded rapidly over these few years.

The Yao Race forces under Shi Jian's command, after being irrigated with resources during the national war, experienced a wave of explosive growth.

The lineage of Elder Rat had two new Foundation Establishment Stage Great Yao: one was a Treasure-Seeking Spirit Mouse, and the other was a Yin Spirit Rat tainted with Yin Evil Qi.

There were thousands of Qi Refining Stage mouse Yao, making them the largest clan in the Northern Mountain Range.

In the Black Dog Clan, Kuang Dou himself had stabilized at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage; having devoured many Cultivators' bodies in this war, his cultivation had progressed quickly.

Unfortunately, most of the Black Dogs in the clan had mediocre Bloodlines, and no new Foundation Establishment dog Yao had been born, but the future was still promising.

As for the four bear lineages, each had its own merits.

In the Dark Gold Lineage, Shi Mo still remained at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but his physical constitution was so robust that he rarely met an opponent among Yao Beasts of the same level.

A new Foundation Establishment Stage Dark Gold bear Yao was added to the clan, which was decent, but its Bloodline purity was much lower than Shi Mo's.

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment might already be the limit of its Bloodline...

Shi Mo still had room for improvement, but he also encountered the same problem as Shi Jian: his Cultivation speed was getting slower and slower as the shackles of his Bloodline gradually became apparent.

The situation for the Panshi Lineage was much better.

Bear-type Yao were most compatible with the Way of Earth; their Bloodline reproduced a lot, and there were many positive mutations, combined with the subtle changes brought by the embryonic Blessed Land.

In these few years, many bear Yao of the Panshi Lineage had made significant Breakthroughs.

Among them, two new Foundation Establishment bear Yao were added, making them the strongest bear tribe after the Thunder Bear lineage.

In the Primitive Lineage, Xiong Shan had the lowest status.

Although the bear-types of the Primitive Lineage had reached a thousand, he was still the only Foundation Establishment bear Yao, and the hurdle of Bloodline was truly the death of their lineage...

They could only hope to slowly improve their Bloodline generation by generation.

As for the Frost-Snow Lineage, although Shi Yin was not in the clan...

Their status was certainly not low; even though this lineage didn't have a single Foundation Establishment, they still ranked above the Primitive Lineage.

Currently, the Frost-Snow Lineage only had a dozen or so Icefield Bear cubs or adults; due to the uniqueness of this lineage, the strongest Icefield Bear was only equivalent to a Qi Refinement Late Stage human Cultivator...

However, one Icefield Bear from this lineage had become Sun Chengzhu's Spirit Beast.

Thus, the Frost-Snow Lineage had the support of the Sun Clan, and with their generally good Bloodlines, they would surely give birth to Foundation Establishment bear Yao in the future.

Therefore, no Yao dared to say anything.

Apart from the growth of these four lineages, the Thunder Bear lineage under Shi Jian's direct command was currently the strongest among the bear-types.

Currently, in the Thunder Bear lineage, besides the two Foundation Establishment Thunder Bears, Lei Nu and Lei Zhen.

In the last two years, two more Foundation Establishment Thunder Bears were born: one named Lei Bao, and the other named Lei Kuang!

The four bears—Lei Nu, Lei Zhen, Lei Bao, and Lei Kuang—had thus become the face of the Thunder Bear clan, known as the Four Bears of Wild Thunder!

They were the most loyal guards under Shi Jian.

Calculating it this way.

In the entire Northern Mountain Range, there were already fourteen Foundation Establishment Stage Great Yao under Shi Jian's command, ten of which were bear-types!

They had already begun to form a power, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

The Dafeng Mountains had been incorporated into the Ming Prefecture Northern Protectorate; this mountain range used to be the Mushou Mountain of the Shangqing Sect...

Now, as the Shangqing Sect established the Qingcang Kingdom and delegated power.

The eight hundred miles of Mushou Mountain in the Dafeng Mountains had become the Mushou Mountain of the White Cloud Temple, no longer needing to pay Spirit Beast resources to the Shangqing Sect.

However, to be precise.

It should be that the White Cloud Temple could use Spirit Beast resources to offset the corresponding ten-year spirit tax.

In this eight hundred miles of Mushou Mountain, Shi Jian dispatched Thunder Badger as his envoy to govern the thirty-six inner and outer peaks of Mushou Mountain.

Each of these peaks represented a Foundation Establishment Yao clan.

These thirty-six peaks corresponded to at least thirty-six Foundation Establishment Great Yao, and adding the fourteen Foundation Establishment Great Yao from the Northern Mountain Range...

Calculating it this way, the number of Great Yao Shi Jian could truly mobilize was at least fifty or more!

This shows the depth of foundation Shi Jian has accumulated over all these years!
