It was quite similar to how humans in the past would hunt and tear down forests to build cities, causing the wild beasts in the mountains to flee in all directions and even attack humans.
Now, in the Cultivation World, it was the same case, only the wild beasts had been replaced by more powerful and aggressive demonic beasts.
It was foreseeable that the upcoming wilderness reclamation process would be exceptionally difficult for these loose cultivators and the disciples of the Longevity Sect.
These forested areas, with their uneven roads, weeds in abundance, and numerous dangers, were usually the quiet, mysterious places where demonic beasts and even evil cursed spirits lurked in hiding.
The reclamation party would have to spend months cutting down heavy trees, removing stubborn weeds, enduring the heat of the summer weather in June, and experiencing the hardships of clearing the deep forest and the unpredictable threats from the demonic beasts.
Chen Dengming flew around for half a circle, his divine sense detected signs of many demonic beasts active in the forest.
...
However, these beasts basically all fled rapidly when they sensed his presence and the scent of the Black Cloud Leopard.
Chen Dengming took personal action, his Divine Change Saber transformed into a ray of light that descended, killing a demonic beast that resembled a wild boar at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation stage.
Then, using his Instrument Control Skill to manipulate the flying beast, he put it into a storage bag, filling an entire bag.
This kind of powerful Qi Cultivation demonic beast was practically a must-handle problem.
If he waited until it hurt the disciples during reclamation before taking action, it would undoubtedly create more trouble.
Once he returned to the temporary residence in the forest, Chen Dengming released the mountain boar-like demonic beast body that was as big as a small mountain from the storage bag.
He instructed the disciples to deal with it, planning to have this beast as their dinner for the night.
The disciples of the Longevity Sect all cheered while the loose cultivators looked on with a mix of envy and awe.
Chen Dengming looked at the group of loose cultivators and said with a faint smile, “Everyone will get a share.
This boar is so big; everyone can have a piece of meat.”
The expressions of the loose cultivators were full of surprise.
They didn’t expect this Danxiu Great Cultivator, who should ordinarily be aloof, to be so friendly to them.
Many of them were extremely excited and began to express their gratitude.
“This Brother Chen is indeed somewhat extraordinary.”
Du Baoyue looked at Chen Dengming, who had so quickly won the hearts of many, with admiration.
Sharing a little benefit could indeed win many people’s support; everybody understood this principle.
The key was whether one could put it into action.
People judge you by your actions, not your words.
How many Danxiu cultivators could respect loose cultivators or treat the disciples in their sect kindly?
Even in a harmonious sect like the Longevity Sect, such cultivators were extremely rare.
The gap in power and status was a class divide.
Du Baoyue suddenly felt that this Brother Chen had great potential.
With his unconventional approach, he might have a chance to become the Longevity Seed of the sect in the future.
…
Time flew quickly.
In a blink of an eye, over a month had passed.

The reclamation process in the deep forest of Chang Mountain was going very smoothly.
Under the power of hundreds of loose cultivators and more than sixty disciples of the Longevity Sect, they cut down every tree and dug through every hill, making the reclamation process very speedy.
Whenever they encountered powerful beasts frightened by the disturbance in the mountains, Chen Dengming and Du Baoyue would step in.
Sometimes, Chen Dengming didn’t even need to do anything, the Black Cloud Leopard was able to easily overcome some powerful Qi Cultivation beasts.
They hardly encountered any Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.
Surely, these clever beasts had long fled upon sensing danger.
Chen Dengming had some concerns about whether any Demon Cultivators from the Western Region would sneak in from the other side of the forest to cause damage.
However, a month had passed and everything was calm.
In contrast, news of victories kept pouring in from the front line.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion performed exceptionally well on the battlefield.
They were practically pushing the Demon Cultivators from the Western Region back, making constant progress on the front line.
With that being the case, he could practice even more leisurely.
At night, he would even have time to chat with He Yingyu using the Jade Talisman for Message Transmission and occasionally play the Death Knight game with Xu Wei.
The only annoying thing was that it wasted a lot of spirit paper.
If Xu Wei moved too much, she had to change her paper doll body.
However, combining work and leisure in his practice made his cultivation life less monotonous.
Regrettably, with the consumption of 130 years of lifespan, although he had fully mastered the third layer of the Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill, his Spirit Qi Affinity had only increased slightly, perhaps by only a few tenths of a percent.
Once, Chen Dengming could improve the proficiency of “Longevity Spring Skill” by 62 points every day.
Now, after his spiritual root talent had reached the limit, he could improve his proficiency by 64 points every day.
After a month, he had only managed to improve his cultivation efficiency by one day.
However, it was better than nothing.
…
Days and months passed like flowing water, and nearly two more months passed.
The reclamation work was officially completed.
Previously, Chang Mountain deep forest, which had blocked out sunlight due to its dense foliage, had nearly been leveled and was ready for city construction.
Chen Dengming and Du Baoyue’s work was officially done.
During this period, everything remained calm and there had been no significant incidents.
Only a few disciples and some loose cultivators were killed or injured by the claws of demonic beasts.
However, at the same time, some changes occurred on the front line of the battle.
The Heavenly Dao Sect and other sects in the Eastern Region suffered heavy ambushes from the demon sects and the Demon Country, resulting in numerous casualties.
Their previous momentum of constant victories had come to a halt.
Even some of the weaker lines of defense were torn apart by the Demon Cultivators, disrupting the attack rhythm of the sects in the Eastern Region.
