A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 480: Chapter 396: Ruthless Decisions (Part 2)

After General Cyan led the Cyan Divine Army to sweep through the entire Star Sea Continent and eliminate the treacherous demon cultivators, he was not only brimming with fortune and vitality, but his entire being exuded a completely different vigor and dominance compared to before.

At this moment, his voice, amplified by the military formation and spiritual power, instantly intimidated all the cultivators present.

The power of the Cyan Divine Army was blatantly displayed in front of everyone, stirring countless hearts.

The scene of heads of Divinity Transformation and Golden Core cultivators rolling to the ground brought an indescribable visual impact!

The image and mark of the Cyan Divine Army were once again deeply engraved in everyone’s minds, and those young talented cultivators looked on in intense admiration at the Cyan Divine Army clad in magical artifact armor.

Who wouldn’t want to join such a powerful army?

It is conceivable that as the ace army of the Cyan Origin Academy, one would receive immense support and convenience, and the best growth training. What ambitious young man wouldn’t want to join?

....

With the bloody massacre and rolling heads, the cultivators present fell even more silent.

The actions of the Cyan Divine Army undoubtedly revealed the attitude of the Bee Daoist.

They probably won’t be able to enter the Qingtian Realm!

"Is there really no way?"

A sense of despair and helplessness welled up once more.

However, just as this feeling was about to erupt, it was suppressed by the words that followed from the general who had just spoken on behalf of the Cyan Divine Army.

"Fellow Daoists, by the order of Dean Feng, I am here to inform you of one thing. Similar to the Qingtian Realm, war fortresses will be built around the surrounding Great Realms to cope with the impending crisis of the Demon Race!"

"In these regions, the Dean will cultivate powerful spirit veins in symbiosis with these regions, connecting all the regions with the earth veins and spirit veins of the Qingtian Realm as one whole, while also providing an environment, resource-exchange system, and knowledge-teaching system similar to the Qingtian Realm...."

"Therefore, starting now, you can go to our established temporary locations to rank your own cultivation and skills. We will offer corresponding industry choices based on your abilities...."

"This ranking and choice are not mandatory. You can choose to leave, or if you don’t like the industrial arrangement, you can also choose to leave...."

....

When this loud and powerful voice spread, those cultivators who were originally filled with despair suddenly became excited.

"Senior Feng plans to build war fortresses like the Qingtian Realm!"

"The knowledge system and contribution system are also similar to the Qingtian Realm? Is safety also guaranteed by the Cyan Divine Army?"

"Are they going to connect the spirit veins with the Qingtian Realm? Doesn’t that mean they can also have rich spiritual qi here?"

"With Senior Bee Daoist’s prowess and energy in building war fortresses and restructuring industries, does that mean a chance to become one of the first core members?"

"Senior Bee Daoist is truly invincible!"

....

Lively discussions arose at this moment, and they made no secret about the matter.

For almost unanimously, the voices were of excitement and praise!

Moreover, most seasoned cultivators saw a tremendous opportunity in the affair: the chance to be among the first core members!

Once these war fortresses akin to the Qingtian Realm are successfully built, becoming an essential cog in this vast industry would yield unimaginable benefits and advantages!

At least obtaining far more cultivation resources than before would be no problem, and even soaring to success isn’t out of the question.

So, after pondering these questions, the cultivators immediately flocked to those points to sign up, fearing they’d miss the opportunity again due to falling behind.

The Cyan Divine Army general who had just spoken watched this scene with a slight curl of his lips.

Having perfectly completed the task assigned by Qi Ping was undoubtedly a praiseworthy matter, sure to help him gain more merits and rewards...

However, his task wasn’t entirely over. According to Qi Ping’s instructions, he arranged for the divine souls of some of the enemies left behind to be nurtured and imprisoned in a special manner, putting them all beside the outposts.

These divine souls were the major villains and riot instigators selected by the little Immortal Tiger under Qi Ping’s guidance, all individuals with heinous crimes.

Now, these specially treated divine souls still retain memories of their crimes and some cultivation experiences.

These specially treated divine souls are to be placed next to the outposts for anyone to observe.

This serves two purposes: one being a benefit of partial magic from cultivation experience, allowing anyone watching to gain some cultivation insights.

The second and more crucial purpose is to uncover the truth and further earn the trust of all cultivators in Qi Ping, motivating them to complete the upcoming regional construction work even more vigorously.

....

"Dean, hasn’t General Kirin completed his task quite well?"

Lin Yue stood slightly behind Qi Ping, observing the scene just now where the Cyan Divine Army suppressed and issued orders through Qi Ping’s magic.

He clearly saw the smile on the Dean’s face, indicating that the Dean was very satisfied with this result.

"He did great! You chose a nice general; his performance from eradicating demon cultivators to completing this task was excellent!"

Qi Ping didn’t hold back his words of praise.

The Cyan Divine Army truly satisfied him to no end, displaying astounding efficiency and capability in both battles and handling various tasks.

For instance, today’s task could never have been completed to such an extent if it were just him alone.

Indeed, Lin Yue has nurtured a divine-level army for him.

And the Cyan Divine Army is merely in its infancy now, with astonishing growth potential, a force difficult to overlook even from his current position.

Lin Yue was equally thrilled to hear such words from Qi Ping.

Making the Dean this happy wasn’t an easy feat!

When the Dean is happy, the rewards are surely plentiful. One can imagine the rich rewards both he and the just-mentioned General Kirin would receive.

"Shouldn’t we fully launch the New Realm plan now or wait a while longer? Judging by the current situation, the emotions of those cultivators can ferment for a while longer, reaching a peak in about a week....."

Following his experience, Lin Yue estimated the best timing to start the plan.

"Then let it commence in a week! Go over those preparations again, there must be no flaws!" Qi Ping reiterated his instructions.

"I’ll double-check everything once back, guaranteeing a splendid completion of the task this time!"

"Good! Rest assured, the post-event rewards will not disappoint you!"

...

Upon confirming the final timing to commence the plan, Lin Yue took his leave, having devoted substantial effort due to Qi Ping’s emphasis on the plan.

After Lin Yue departed, Qi Ping’s gaze remained fixed on the excited cultivators, replaying and pondering this plan over and over.

Given the current level of excitement among these cultivators, his confidence in expanding the surrounding regions into an Earth Immortal Realm is even greater.

The underground beneath several Great Realms surrounding the Qingtian Realm was already filled with Qi Ping’s arranged spirit beast companions... or rather, his animate affiliates.

Over these years, Qi Ping had already transformed the original underground spirit beasts of these realms into his animate affiliates, assisting them in improving their living conditions and strengthening their tribes.

Moreover, he has relocated many of his animate affiliates from other regions to many places down below.

Therefore, purely in terms of the underworld, the foundations of these Great Realms under Qi Ping exceed the foundations of the Qingtian underworld when Qi Ping became an Earth Immortal Druid!

Now, for Qi Ping to become an Earth Immortal of the nearby Great Realms, what’s most lacking is a group of believers among the cultivators and a tight karmic connection with the surrounding regions....
