STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Expanding Territory

“Respectful farewell to the Superior!”

In front of Taiwu Pavilion, Chen Zhongjing, the venerable elder of Chen, respectfully saluted Wang Chen.

Behind him, the Governors and Executors who had come to bid farewell bowed in unison, “Respectful farewell to the Superior!”

Although it was somewhat embarrassing, being able to send off the Death God safely brought everyone considerable pleasure.

Initially, everyone had been terrified by Wang Chen’s arrival, fearing that this immensely powerful Cultivator would pick a fight with Taiwu Pavilion on behalf of the Mo Family.

It was entirely possible.

However, to everyone’s surprise, after both parties sat down in the Council Hall of Taiwu Pavilion for negotiations, they learned that Wang Chen hadn’t come to seek retribution.

Wang Chen simply made three requests to Taiwu Pavilion.

First, all the major forces and families within Taiwu City must not intentionally trouble or suppress the Mo Family members.

Although the direct lineage of the Mo Family had already moved outside the city to establish a new base, many from the collateral branches were reluctant to leave the thriving and safe city and were unable to abandon the wealth they had painstakingly accumulated, choosing instead to continue living in the city.

Even the direct members of the Mo Family would often enter the city to shop and handle affairs.

If they were targeted by the powerful forces of Taiwu City, their future movements within the city would be hindered.

Second, Taiwu City must not target White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor with various embargoes and schemes.

Lastly, Taiwu City must not restrict city residents from sending their children to study at White Deer Academy.

Honestly, Wang Chen’s three demands caught everyone off guard.

Elder Chen and the others had thought Wang Chen would leverage his victory over Green Cloud Palace to demand control and wealth from Taiwu City.

This was it?

Elder Chen agreed on the spot.

The Chen Family he represented bore no grievances or hatred towards Wang Chen, and although they, along with the Sikong Family, had previously planned to target Mercy World Medicine Manor, they had not caused any irreversible damage.

Thus, they were happy to go with the flow.

As for the potential reaction from Green Cloud Palace, Elder Chen at that moment couldn’t care less.

The Chen Family had connections within Green Cloud Palace as well!

After Wang Chen reached an agreement with Taiwu Pavilion, the situation in Taiwu City quickly stabilized, soon regaining its original atmosphere.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the feud between Green Cloud Palace and White Deer Academy as if it never happened.

Later, even the Sikong Family, which had suffered the most, kept quiet.

All had become the past.

Since the upper echelons of Taiwu City were no longer an obstacle, the Mo Family’s new base was initially established in just two or three months.

Following Wang Chen’s instructions, the Mo Family hired a large workforce to expand aggressively into the Misty Area!

According to the default rules, if a family successfully expands and cultivates land in the Misty Area, that land becomes its own.

The more they expand, the more they own!

The millions of mu of farmland, medicinal fields, and orchards around Taiwu City, mostly developed by families big and small from the city, had undergone centuries of mergers and transactions to form today’s layout.

Wang Chen had no intention of competing for these existing lands; despite his current strength, intimidating Taiwu City was not a problem.

However, doing so would make Wang Chen the enemy of everyone, targeted by these families whose fundamental interests had been compromised.

It made no sense!

He intended to incite a flood of humanity’s qi and achieve unprecedented accomplishments—but brute force and plundering were definitely not viable options!

In the days that followed, Wang Chen led the White Deer Disciples into the Misty Area at regular intervals to wage war, scavenge for resources and materials, and hunt all manner of Fierce Beasts.

The first batch of White Deer Disciples grew rapidly through intense battles.

Then came the second and third batches…

The power of White Deer Academy grew rapidly like a rolling snowball.

With the White Deer Academy at the forefront, the Mo Family’s work of expanding and cultivating new territories proceeded extremely smoothly. Farms and medicine gardens were established along the edge of the Taiwu Mountains and continuously expanded towards the plains.

Once the fields were opened up and farmsteads established, giving the place a human touch, the enveloping mist would dissipate.

Men advanced and the mist retreated, effectively expanding the territories of Taiwu City.

In the past, local prominent families and powers had jointly attempted the same thing; however, once the expansion reached a certain extent, the losses far exceeded the gains, and combined with disunity among the people, the efforts were discontinued.

Wang Chen was completely different; wherever his will directed, tens of thousands of White Deer Disciples would charge forward relentlessly, their conquests unceasing.

The Fierce Beasts that lurked in the Misty Area fell under the control of Hu Jiaojiao, and batch after batch became both sharpening stones and meals for the White Deer Disciples.

A few high-level Fierce Beasts were targeted and eliminated by Wang Chen, their bone marrow and essences used to nourish Magical Treasures like The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Sumeru Ring!

As for the land opened by the Mo Family, it was sold or given half-and-half to the commoners of Taiwu City.

Previously, countless farmers outside Taiwu City tilled lands leased from various families, paying high rental fees annually and keeping only a small portion of the grain to sustain themselves.

Now, they could own a mu of land in exchange for just one Bone Coin, without having to pay any portion of their food!

It was practically like giving it away for free.

Of course, such a low price came with conditions; they also had to participate in constructing roads, digging channels, building bridges, etc., and only after completing these tasks could they qualify to purchase the land.

Despite this, countless commoners flocked to it.

In any world, land is vital to a farmer’s life and livelihood; the opportunity to own land outright could ignite unimaginable passion in them.

Thus, thousands of commoners joined the ranks of the pioneers.

Their substantial presence not only swiftly dispersed the surrounding mist but also brought Wang Chen a tremendous amount of the Qi of Humanity, significantly accelerating the condensation of his Spiritual Light.

Because everyone knew that everything they had was thanks to Wang Chen’s benevolence; without his protection, it would not have been possible for them to live and thrive here.

Additionally, because Wang Chen was a Cultivator, some new families quietly began to venerate tablets bearing his name in their homes.

They prayed day and night, expressing their gratitude!

As time went on, a new city gradually formed around White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor, and the population congregated there grew increasingly large.

Although this new city could not yet compare to Taiwu City in scale, population, or wealth, the vitality it exhibited was something the latter could not reach!

The many family powers within Taiwu City could only watch helplessly—they didn’t dare make any moves to disrupt or undermine.

Wang Chen was like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.

Preventing them from making any rash moves!

Including the Green Cloud Palace.
