Chapter 420 Wang Jian's Decision Of Closed Door Cultivation
As the remnants of the Ancient Beast Races were being dealt with in the Southern Region, Wang Jian turned his attention to the lesser-known races that had emerged from the Minor Worlds. Among them were the Goblin Race, the Troll Race, and the Kobold Race, all ambitious and potentially challenging to integrate into Wang Jian's dominion.
The Goblin Race, with their cunning nature and a penchant for mischief, had established small tribes scattered across the dense forests of the Southern Region. The Trolls, formidable in strength but lacking in intellect, roamed the mountainous terrains. The Kobolds, known for their affinity with underground tunnels, posed a unique challenge.
As Wang Jian mobilized his forces to conquer these races, he realized that their ambitions and desire for sovereignty were strong. They weren't willing to yield to an external ruler easily. The conquest would require a show of force.
The Goblin tribes, scattered in the deep woods, were the first to face the might of Wang Jian. The goblin leaders, feeling their dominance threatened, gathered their forces to resist the incoming intrusion. They were known for their ability to blend into their surroundings, making it challenging for traditional forces to navigate their territories.
Wang Jian, understanding the need for a decisive display, chose to reveal his true power. The Gnomes, a lesser-known race with a natural affinity for illusions, attempted to cloak their surroundings, creating an environment of confusion. However, Wang Jian's spiritual senses easily penetrated the illusions, rendering them ineffective.
With a mere wave of his hand, Wang Jian unleashed his Spatial Laws, teleporting across the Goblin territories, creating an awe-inspiring display of dominance. The very earth trembled beneath his feet, and the goblins, witnessing the overwhelming power, hesitated.
In the Troll-inhabited mountains, the towering figures resisted the intrusion fiercely. The trolls, with their brute strength and resilience, posed a physical challenge. Wang Jian, however, displayed his martial prowess, effortlessly countering their attacks and swiftly disabling their leaders. The Trolls, witnessing their leaders fall, were left in a state of disarray.
The Kobolds, masters of underground tunnels, attempted to wage a guerrilla war against Wang Jian's forces. They were adept at setting traps and ambushing unsuspecting intruders. However, Wang Jian's keen strategic mind anticipated their moves. His knowledge of the Kobold's tactics allowed him to navigate the underground passages without falling victim to their traps.
Confronted by the overwhelming power of Wang Jian, the Kobold leaders reluctantly acknowledged the futility of resistance. They began to see the potential benefits of aligning with Wang Jian's dominion, where their skills could be utilized rather than squandered in futile conflict.
Throughout these conquests, Wang Jian demonstrated not only his martial prowess but also his ability to navigate various terrains and counter the unique abilities of each race. His display of strength left an indelible mark on the minds of the conquered races.
As the Goblin, Troll, and Kobold races bowed to Wang Jian's rule, the ambitious and power-hungry nature of these races was subdued by the sheer dominance of Wang Jian's presence. The Southern Region, witnessing the assimilation of these races, began to stabilize under Wang Jian's authority.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Region, the emergence of the Sylphs, Druid Spirits, Gnomes, and Undine had a different impact. The Elven Dominion, already well-established in the Northern Region, received a significant boost as these races aligned with the Elves. The Northern Region became a harmonious blend of nature-centric races, all coexisting under the protective canopy of the World Tree.
The Elves, with their affinity for nature and the World Tree's influence, seamlessly integrated these newfound allies. The Sylphs, spirits of the air, danced alongside the elegant Elves. The Gnomes, known for their craftsmanship, collaborated with the Elves in the construction of intricate structures. The Undine, water spirits, added a serene presence to the Northern Region's lakes and rivers.
The Druid Spirits, in particular, found a natural synergy with the Elves, as both shared a deep connection with nature. The Elf-Druid alliance strengthened the protective enchantments around the World Tree, ensuring the Northern Region remained a sanctuary for the races that had pledged allegiance.
The emergence of these races, each with its unique abilities and characteristics, brought diversity and vibrancy to the previously tranquil Northern Region. As the Elves and their newfound allies celebrated the harmony of their coexistence, they prepared for the challenges that lay ahead, mindful of the unpredictable nature of the Minor Worlds.
In the Central Region, the Heavenly Court faced its own set of challenges in assimilating the races that had emerged. The complexities of alliances, power dynamics, and potential conflicts unfolded as the various factions navigated the delicate balance between cooperation and competition. The continent, once marked by the dominance of human civilizations, now bore the imprint of ancient and mystical races, each vying for its place in the ever-evolving tapestry of the cultivation world.
The news of the Heavenly Court's alliance with Jiang Chen reverberated across the cultivation world like a thunderclap, sending shockwaves through factions and territories. Even Wang Jian, who was engrossed in managing the assimilation of races in the Southern Region, couldn't escape the impact of this unexpected development.
Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a tinge of astonishment. The realization struck him that for such an alliance to take place, the Heavenly Court must have relinquished the artifact that contained Jiang Chen's suppressed powers. This, in turn, meant that Jiang Chen would soon recover his full strength and, in all likelihood, break through to the Immortal Realm.
The prospect of Jiang Chen ascending to a higher realm of cultivation sent a shiver down Wang Jian's spine. He knew that facing a cultivator at the Immortal Realm would be a formidable challenge, and he questioned whether his current strength was sufficient for such a confrontation.
In response to this unexpected turn of events, Wang Jian decided to prioritize his own cultivation. He acknowledged the urgency of the situation and realized that if he wanted to stand a chance against the potential threat posed by Jiang Chen, he needed to expedite his progress towards the Immortal Realm.
Wang Jian had been cautious in assimilating the World Hearts, particularly because the process of integration was unpredictable and required an unknown amount of time. His reluctance to leave his wives unprotected during this crucial period had led him to adopt a more gradual approach.
Now, however, the circumstances demanded a change in strategy. Wang Jian recognized the need to concentrate all his efforts on assimilating the World Hearts swiftly. The Closed Door Cultivation, an intensive and focused practice, became the most viable option for him to accelerate his journey towards the Immortal Realm.
As Wang Jian delved into seclusion within the depths of his cultivation chambers, the world outside continued to grapple with the repercussions of the evolving cultivation landscape.
As Wang Jian delved into his Closed Door Cultivation, the rest of the cultivation world continued to experience seismic shifts. In the Eastern Seas, Wang Hao's faction achieved a significant victory by successfully conquering the Sea Monsters that had emerged from the Minor World. The Megalodon Shark, the Blue Whale, and other formidable sea creatures were now under their command.
However, the triumph extended beyond mere conquest. Wang Hao's faction stumbled upon a remarkable artifact after subduing the colossal Megalodon Shark – the Sea King's Bead. This precious bead granted Wang Hao unprecedented control over the Sea Monsters. With a mere command, he could direct these aquatic beings, and they were bound to obey.
The Sea King's Bead also held the invaluable ability to translate the language of the Sea Monsters for Wang Hao. This linguistic bridge facilitated communication, opening avenues for cooperation and strategic planning with the newly subjugated sea denizens.
The War God Spirit within Wang Hao's soul took an active role in guiding him through the process of assimilating the Sea King's Bead into his dantian. This intricate fusion not only enhanced Wang Hao's powers but also imbued him with a profound mastery over the Water Element. The potent energies of the sea now coursed through him, expanding his elemental repertoire.
As Wang Hao refined his connection with the Sea King's Bead, he could feel the ebb and flow of the oceanic forces within him. The synergy between the artifact and his cultivation foundation was unlocking a reservoir of potential, and the War God Spirit ensured that Wang Hao harnessed this newfound power with precision.
With the newly acquired Sea Monster Race firmly aligned with his faction, Wang Hao found himself brimming with excitement and anticipation. The once perceived underdog, his faction, now stood on equal footing with some of the most formidable powers in the cultivation world – the Heavenly Court, Jiang Chen's faction, and even Wang Jian's forces. The balance of power had shifted dramatically, and Wang Hao relished the prospect of what lay ahead.
The newfound strength and strategic advantage provided by the Sea Monster Race fueled Wang Hao's ambitions. His next move, however, was carefully calculated. Instead of an immediate assault on other factions, he decided to bide his time and assess the unfolding events in the Central Region. The emergence of the Ancient Beast Races, particularly the formidable Supreme Draconic Clan, added a layer of complexity to the current scenario.
Wang Hao chose to wait and understand the intentions of the Supreme Draconic Clan before making any overt moves. The recent clash between the Draconic Clan and the Heavenly Court served as a stark reminder of the potential power and threat posed by the dragons. Even the War God spirit within Wang Hao's consciousness, a being of the higher world, advised caution when dealing with the Draconic Clan.
The Supreme Draconic Clan's latent abilities and their ability to challenge even higher realm beings like the War God's Spirit made them formidable opponents. Wang Hao recognized the prudence in avoiding direct conflict with such a powerful race. As he monitored the situation, he considered the possibility that the Supreme Draconic Clan might have designs on the Eastern Sea Region, and they had to consider the possibility of fighting against this clan so he ordered his faction to set up the defensive measures.
The waiting game continued, a delicate balance of anticipation and strategy. The Sea Monster Race, now aligned with Wang Hao, eagerly awaited their leader's command, ready to unleash their might when the opportune moment arrived.
