I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 614 Special Report on the Boundless Sea (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Frontline News:

Half a month after the first wave of demonic invasion ended, the leader of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, Cangyi Xingjun, personally led an inspection team to the front line of the Boundless Sea to summarize, commend and strategically deploy the construction of the Seventy-Two Gates of Demon Suppression and the work of fighting the demonic tide.

This inspection conveyed three core messages: severely punish dereliction of duty, reward meritorious individuals, and accelerate progress at all costs.

After inspecting the seventy-two passes of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Lord Cangyi delivered a speech, highly praising the heroic deeds of the soldiers on the front lines.

The leader of the alliance specifically pointed out that many excellent passes emerged in the first round of the Demon Tide defense battle. Their highly efficient and coordinated defense system greatly reduced casualties and injected a strong boost into the overall defense.

The relevant cultivators and groups were awarded the honorary title of 'Demon Suppression Vanguard' and a large amount of resources as a reward.

In response to the serious breach of the Qian Tian Sect's headquarters, Cangyi Xingjun took swift and decisive action.

The responsible party, Qian Tianzong, was severely punished for condoning Jackal Feather True Monarch's embezzlement and dereliction of duty, which led to the near fall of the island and heavy casualties among the cultivators. Qian Tianzong was ordered to pay compensation and issue pensions to the fallen cultivators.

Jiang Yurong, the former leader of the Northern Xuanxian Alliance and the sect leader of the Xuanying Sword Sect, was officially appointed to take over the island and renamed 'Xuanying Island'.

Alliance leader Cangyi Xingjun praised him for accepting the mission in a time of crisis, turning the tide with a single sword strike, and possessing the talent of a commander, which was unanimously recognized by all parties.

At the same time, Cangyi Xingjun ordered Tinglan Jianzun to lead the Mountain and Sea Alliance Law Enforcement Hall to eliminate remaining abuses, demanding a thorough investigation of the flow of resources and the establishment of a wartime monitoring mechanism.

Each clan is required to send more personnel, and each island must establish a council to prevent a single authority from having the final say.

At the construction meeting of Zhenmo Pass chaired by the Alliance Leader, Jiang Heying, the leader of Kunlun Pass Island, was invited as an advanced representative to share key experiences.

Jiang Heying instructed his special envoy, Hua Luosha, to summarize the following key points:
First, actively establish a demon spirit/demonic beast cooperation system, relying on the new type of pill 'Qi Ling Dan' developed by Cang Ling Sect to efficiently drive demonic beasts to participate in infrastructure construction and realize 'demonic power replacing human power'.

Second, the puppet alternative solution involves the large-scale application of mining puppet formations and combat puppet legions to solve the manpower shortage problem and achieve an 'iron defense line that is not afraid of demonic corruption'.

Third, the resource exchange strategy pioneered the "puppet leasing to talisman brick manufacturing" model, which facilitated the complementary advantages between Kunlun Pass and Ziyang Island Pass.

The alliance leader praised this model as pioneering a new paradigm of cross-sect collaboration, arguing that it should be promoted across the board to fully leverage the core strengths of each sect and avoid the phenomenon of each sect focusing solely on its own interests.

After the demonic tide, the leaders of each island deeply realized the urgency of coordinated defense, and the construction of the seventy-two demon-suppressing passes entered an accelerated phase.

Alliance Leader Cangyi Xingjun concluded by emphasizing that the recent large-scale infiltration of the demon race exposed significant hidden dangers. He demanded that all passes establish a dual-track mechanism of "divine sense screening and image tracking," and appealed that "the Demon Suppression Pass is not the responsibility of a single island. We should set aside past grievances, unite as one, and build a lifeline of joint defense across thousands of miles!"

Although the first battle was won, the concentration of demonic energy in the sea continued to rise after the demonic tide receded, indicating an even greater challenge. Our station will continue to follow up on this.

—Report from the front lines of the Boundless Sea.

……

After the meeting concluded, the Cangling Sect's orders for 'Qi Ling Dan' exploded; they couldn't even finish refining all the pre-orders.

Fortunately, Jiangyi is still able to produce in bulk, and currently all the islands are prioritizing getting their goods from Jiangyi.

The Qiling Pill is sold bundled with the Cangling Sect's demon tamers. The core methods are all controlled by the Cangling Sect. If you want to use the Qiling Pill to control demon beasts to work, you must also hire the Cangling Sect's demon tamers.

Jiangyi prioritizes accepting barter or payment for outsourcing.

Kunlun Pass is located in the center of the entire Zhenmo Pass line. Because of this measure, Kunlun Pass has become the largest trading market, with cultivators coming and going in an endless stream every day.

Major merchants in Dongzhou have extended olive branches to Jiang Yi. Now that they are no longer afraid of the Demon Tide, they all want to open branches in Kunlun Pass.

Jiang Yi was "forced" to start a real estate business, auctioning off land within the main city of Kunlun Pass. She only sold the land, not built anything. Whoever won the bid had to send people to build it themselves, and they had to build according to the requirements of Kunlun Pass. If the quality was substandard, they would be warned three times, and if they did not rectify the situation, they would be evicted.

The first batch of merchants to move in include Cangling Sect's own Yunhelou, as well as Jiuxiaoyunge and Wanxianglou, which are chain stores throughout the mountain and sea realm. They have already sent craftsmen to the island to supervise the construction of their own shops.

Jiang Yi also reserved a piece of land for Jubaohang in Fuguanghai, which can be considered as completing the transaction between her master and Jin Wanguan.

In no time, Jiang Yi and Cangling Sect made a fortune, and the construction of Kunlun Pass was no longer short of materials and manpower. Every few days, special people would deliver talisman bricks and tiles to the island, and Hua Gu only needed to use her nimble demon spirits to build the city wall.

The mining is temporarily being handled by Zhenshan, and Duanjin is extremely busy.

Every day, you need to create many simple mining golems, versions that can only mine and cannot fight.

The Cangling Sect also sent cultivators from the former Mo Family Fortress to help. Mo Ling and Mo Liao, the two siblings, are currently at Kunlun Pass, working with Duan Jin to make mining puppets. After they learn how to make them, they will teach others.

Some sects in Dongzhou that were skilled in puppetry took the initiative to befriend Cangling Sect and sent some apprentices to the island to sign an agreement. They agreed that for every mining puppet they made that was sold, they would have to give Jiang Yi a share of the profits.

With the Mountain and Sea Alliance facilitating this matter, no one has harbored any ulterior motives for the time being, and everything is progressing smoothly.

Moreover, with these mining puppets, a lot of manpower was freed up on each island, and with the help of more monsters, the construction progress was significantly accelerated, and the overall status of the Cangling Sect also rose accordingly.

In addition to those disciples who came to the front lines to provide support, those who remained in Zhongzhou were also busy capturing monsters everywhere. After a little training, they were sent to the front lines to work, which resulted in a sharp reduction in monster scourges throughout Dongzhou and unprecedented peace in the rear.

……

On this day, Jiang Yi stood at the highest point of the newly built Wangbei Tower and looked out into the distance. A magnificent octagonal city was beginning to take shape.

The thick brick city wall extends outwards according to the array diagram. Sunlight pours onto the brand-new glazed tiles and bluestone slabs, reflecting a shimmering light. The traces left by the rampant demonic tide not long ago have been completely covered by the burgeoning new power.

The buildings are arranged in a staggered pattern, and the streets are crisscrossed.

Cultivators dressed in various sect costumes strolled around the main street. Although there were not many shops open yet, it was already taking shape as a commercial street.

Around the main street, spirits and monsters are working together to continue building other areas.

From the beginning when only she and Hua Luosha were on the island and all the demons were extremely busy, to now when everyone is doing their job in an orderly manner, less than a year has actually passed.

The busiest time has passed.

Jiang Yi's gaze swept across the island, where he could see many minor demon kings or spirits who had finished their tasks finding sheltered corners to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and concentrate on their cultivation.

Duan Jin no longer needs to be on high alert to direct the overall situation; he only needs to instruct his apprentices to do the work.

Even the Flower Rakshasa was finally able to peacefully focus on breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in her shady mountain cave.

"Things are gradually settling down..."

Jiang Yi whispered, looking north towards the Boundless Sea. The brief period of calm was the perfect opportunity to accumulate strength.

"It's time to assist Hongli in refining Xia Changying's primordial spirit, attempting to control the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and then refining the corpse of the Nascent Soul demon Bilin into a corpse puppet. At that time, Kunlun Pass will gain another fierce general!"

　see you tomorrow!
