In the central region of East Zhou, on the former grounds of the Hunyuan Sect, stood a Great Hall emanating a dense Spiritual Qi, currently exuding a Terrifying Aura.
Anyone, be it a Demonic Beast or a person, who approached this Great Hall would tremble in fear, not daring to take a breath, for fear of disturbing the horrifying presence within.
Within this Great Hall, more than forty powerful Demon Clan beings had gathered at this moment.
If anyone who knew of this scene were to witness it, they would undoubtedly be shocked. It was unfathomable why the entirety of East Zhou and the surrounding fourth-tier Demonic Beasts had been assembled here.
Currently, these over forty Demonic Beasts were each occupying a position in the Great Hall, emitting their formidable auras, and no one was willing to yield to another.
These forty-plus Demonic Beasts were all top-tier powerhouses in their own right. Concepts like gentleness, humility, and restraint were foreign to them.
At this moment, they all glared at each other, taunting, verbally attacking, and exposing each other's weaknesses, yet it seemed they were holding back, as none of them dared to take physical action.
"Winged Tiger Old Demon, I heard your lair was ransacked, and your descendants are almost wiped out!"
One of the fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, who obviously had a history of conflicts with the Winged Tiger Ancestor, couldn't resist sprinkling some salt on Winged Tiger Ancestor's wound.
"Hmph! Don't let me find out who did it, or I'll make them regret it," Winged Tiger Ancestor retorted coldly while giving the offending Demonic Beast a piercing look.
Cough, cough!
Just then, a black figure slowly walked into the Great Hall from the back.
The over forty Demonic Beasts in the hall instantly transformed into a harmonious and harmless bunch, concealing their auras, looking completely benign.
"I've gathered you all here this time mainly to discuss the matter of the altar. It's been several decades since I last arranged for you to set it up. I wonder if your altars have been completed?" The black figure spoke slowly and authoritatively.
"Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy, the Green Dragon Clan has already completed it!"
"Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy, the Roc Clan has completed it!"
"Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy..."
When it came to Winged Tiger Ancestor's turn, however, he stuttered and couldn't speak.
"Winged Tiger Clan hasn't completed it yet?" The Great Demonic Envoy's tone turned cold.
Winged Tiger Clan's Ancestor hastily explained, "Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy, three years ago, Winged Tiger Clan's territory was attacked, and the newly built altar was destroyed."
"Who dares to disrupt our Demon Clan's major affairs?" When the Great Demonic Envoy spoke, his gaze swept across the Demonic Beasts in the Great Hall. These normally arrogant fourth-tier Demonic Beasts now hung their heads like obedient babies.
"Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy, we have not yet identified the identity of the culprit."
"Hmph! I wonder if Winged Tiger Clan is still up to the task? If not, I can bring in another Demon Clan, and I believe everyone will be more than willing."
Winged Tiger Clan's Ancestor quickly assured, "Winged Tiger Clan will spare no effort and ensure that the altar is completed before the ominous day arrives."
Abandoning this task would not only mean losing a prime Spiritual Site but also a decline in Winged Tiger Clan's status among the Demon Clans.
"Very well! I can make the decision to give you one more chance. If you delay the Demon Clan's important matter, you should be aware of the consequences," the Great Demonic Envoy warned.
"Thank you, Great Demonic Envoy!" Winged Tiger Ancestor expressed his gratitude promptly.
After resolving the matter with Winged Tiger Clan, the Great Demonic Envoy seemed to realize that two other clans were missing.
"Where are Qing Fox and Purple Flame Scorpion King?" The Great Demonic Envoy's anger was palpable as some Demon Clans had disregarded his orders.
"Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy, both Qing Fox and Purple Flame Scorpion King are deceased."
"Who killed them?" The Great Demonic Envoy asked coldly, his tone as icy as his intent.
"Reporting to the Great Demonic Envoy, they were slain by a remnant group of Human Clan cultivators."
"Worthless! A bunch of worthless beings!"
The Great Demonic Envoy couldn't believe that, after defeating and expelling the entire East Zhou Cultivation Realm, a remnant group had managed to kill two of his Demon Clan members.
"This incident occurred within your Western Demon Tribe's territory. It's your responsibility to resolve it quickly and complete the altar before the ominous day arrives."
...
After coming out of seclusion, Wang Hong discussed national matters with various officials in the court.
In fact, during these three years, he occasionally emerged from seclusion for a day or two to handle some state affairs, so he remained relatively informed about the affairs of the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
This time, he found that Jia Liang had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage with Wang Hong's guidance.
A few weeks later, with Wang Hong's accompaniment, Jia Liang secretly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage on Qingxu Mountain.
Thus, the Great Chu Immortal Nation finally had three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Up to now, the total population of the Great Chu Immortal Nation had exceeded one million.
With the increase in population, the total number of troops in the Great Chu Immortal Nation had also continued to grow.
Currently, the army's total strength had reached one hundred thousand, though eighty thousand of them were new recruits.
These eighty thousand had no experience in warfare, and their cultivation levels were relatively low. The main force consisted of martial practitioners, with an occasional one or two Immortal Cultivators mixed in.
To provide these new troops with refined weapons and armor, the Ministry of Works had recruited many new artisans, expanding its scale several times over.
Over these years, under Chen Xiaofeng's leadership, the Ministry of Works had been able to refine Foundation Building stage Puppets. Wang Hong had tasked the Ministry of Works with creating five hundred Foundation Building stage Puppets in the days to come.
Additionally, the Flying Boats that Chen Xiaofeng had refined last time had produced another two hundred, effectively increasing the transport capacity by a hundred thousand.
These lower-tier mortal martial practitioners could contend with the Demon Clan Beast Tide when arrayed together. However, their inability to fly made mobilization highly inconvenient.
The Flying Boats would help address this issue by assisting the martial practitioners' army.
The Great Chu Immortal Nation was operating smoothly. Wang Hong had spent a few days in seclusion refining another batch of fourth-tier Pills before entering seclusion once more.
This time, aside from cultivating, he planned to refine two more Flying Swords.
The complete set of "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique" required sixty-four Flying Swords, and he currently had only two.
With his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, he felt he should be able to control more Flying Swords simultaneously.
Wang Hong's Qiankun Sword had been refined using Ten Thousand-Year Fusang Wood, so he naturally required the same material for the remaining swords.
In a corner of his personal pocket dimension, Wang Hong had planted an entire grove of Fusang Wood. These trees had grown into towering giants by now.
Cutting down Fusang Wood was no easy task, as it would release Golden Crow Fire when attacked.
Lower-quality magic weapons would be incinerated by the Golden Crow Fire before they could fell the trees.
Fortunately, his personal Flying Sword was also made of Fusang Wood and was not afraid of the Golden Crow Fire, making the process somewhat easier.
He once again cut down two Ten Thousand-Year Fusang Wood trees and extracted their cores for refining the Flying Swords.
As for the remaining materials, he planned to refine them into disposable magic weapons when he had the time. In the previous battle, these disposable magic weapons had proven to be extremely effective.
Among his subordinates, there was a rumor that Wang Hong's Lifebound Magical Treasures contained Fusang Wood components.
These two Lifebound Magical Treasures produced a cluster of Golden Crow Fire every once in a while. Wang Hong used refining techniques to seal this Golden Crow Fire within small beads.
