Chapter 628: Beast King Mountain
When ites to Beast King Mountain, there''s a distinction between the so-called New Beast King Mountain and Old Beast King Mountain, with a story in between.
Originally, Beast King Mountain was situated on the other side of the Crossing Severing Mountain Range and was the most powerful sect within the Three Sects Alliance. The sect boasted numerous Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, arge number of Gold Core Daoist Masters, and countless Foundation Building cultivators. Its strength was unparalleled in the Crossing Severing Mountain Range, making it a dominant force in the region.
Many years ago, a major internal rift urred within Beast King Mountain. A group of cultivators broke away from the sect, fled the Crossing Severing Mountain Range, and journeyed northward for thousands of miles until they reached the territory controlled by the Jiuqu League.
At that time, the Jiuqu League had just been established and was in need of more forces to join and strengthen its overall power. The Beast King Mountain cultivators who arrived there established their own sect called Beast King Mountain and joined the Jiuqu League, gradually bing a significant pir of the alliance.
To distinguish the two different Beast King Mountains, outsiders referred to the one on the Crossing Severing Mountain Range side as Old Beast King Mountain and the one within the Jiuqu League as New Beast King Mountain.
Of course, both Beast King Mountains im to be the true orthodox sect,beling the other as shameless traitors who betrayed the sect.
The New Beast King Mountain within the Jiuqu League has grown and prospered over the years, steadily increasing in strength. Among the remaining forces in the Jiuqu League, besides the Azure Origin Sect, the Yellow Lotus Sect, Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and Beast King Mountain are the most powerful.
After the internal division, the Old Beast King Mountain of the Three Sects Alliance suffered a significant decline in strength and could no longer maintain its position as the leader of the alliance. They view the New Beast King Mountain as the primary cause of their decline and harbor extreme animosity towards them. If it weren''t for the presence of the Jiuqu League, they would have likely engaged in a major conflict long ago.
The rtionship between the Three Sects Alliance and the Jiuqu League isplex, involving bothpetition and cooperation. Besides the Old Beast King Mountain, the other two sects of the Three Sects Alliance maintain a rtively decent rtionship with the Jiuqu League.However, the New Beast King Mountain finds itself in a tricky situation and has always remained low-key within the Jiuqu League. Despite their considerable strength, they have no aspirations for dominance or supremacy.
Nevertheless, this situation changed in recent years. With the Three Sects Alliance embroiled in a bitter struggle against the Dali Dynasty, the Old Beast King Mountain was no longer a threat to the New Beast King Mountain. Seizing the opportunity, the New Beast King Mountain shed its previous low-key approach and began actively participating in various affairs within the Jiuqu League.
With the disappearance of the Yellow Lotus Sect''s Cult Master and the sect internally divided, the New Beast King Mountain rose to prominence and showed signs of recing the Yellow Lotus Sect''s position. As a Primordial Spirit sect, apart from the powerful Azure Origin Sect, other forces within the Jiuqu League find it challenging to directly contend with the New Beast King Mountain.
Beast King Mountain''s cultivation techniques heavily rely on the taming of demonic beasts. In the Cultivation World, there is even a rumor that over half of the abilities of Beast King Mountain cultivatorse from the tamed demonic beasts.
Old Beast King Mountain has a long and ancient heritage, with a vast number of demonic beasts cultivated over many years. After the establishment of New Beast King Mountain, they have been diligently trying topensate for theirck of resources by actively taming various demonic beasts. Demon Wind Gobi, a paradise for these creatures, has long captured the attention of New Beast King Mountain.
However, when True Monarch Tian Zhu was in control of the Deadly Sea of Sand, New Beast King Mountain dared not fully invade the area. They could only send some Foundation Building cultivators to establish small outposts at the edge of Demon Wind Gobi. These outposts were used to observe the behavior of the demonic beasts and secretly hunt some of them.
Due to the harsh conditions and significant danger in the region, these small outposts became filled with frustrated and disillusioned New Beast King Mountain cultivators. Later, when the demonic beasts from Demon Wind Gobi invaded the Endless Sea of Sand, triggering multiplerge-scale battles, the outposts of New Beast King Mountain were unable to stand alone and were eventually abandoned. The stationed cultivators returned to their sect.
When the news of True Monarch Tian Zhu''s death spread, and Jin Li True Monarch aligned with the Azure Origin Sect, joining the Jiuqu League, Taiyi Sect upied arge part of Demon Wind Gobi. With the protection of Jin Li True Monarch, New Beast King Mountain found it challenging to easily intervene in the area.
After Taiyi Sect officially became a member of the Jiuqu League, New Beast King Mountain took the initiative to send envoys and negotiate with Taiyi Sect to obtain ess to the demonic beast resources in Demon Wind Gobi. Although Taiyi Sect had the protection of Jin Li True Monarch, they couldn''t easily offend a Primordial Spirit sect. Therefore, Meng Zhang gave face to New Beast King Mountain and agreed to their request.
Consequently, New Beast King Mountain reestablished their presence in Demon Wind Gobi and gradually gained ess to the demonic beast resources. They did not take excessive advantage of Taiyi Sect and asionally provided them with benefits.
In these years, the two forces coexisted peacefully, though there wasn''t much interaction between them. Qiu Mingze is the main person representing New Beast King Mountain in Demon Wind Gobi. Despite being just a Foundation Building cultivator, Niu Dawei couldn''t underestimate him. When Qiu Mingze sought an audience, Niu Dawei postponed his schedule to meet him personally.
Qiu Mingze originally intended to request an audience with Taiyi Sect''s Sect Master, Meng Zhang. But since Meng Zhang had already departed, he settled for meeting Niu Dawei, a senior disciple of the Sect Master.
Qiu Mingze''s words sounded pleasant, emphasizing that Taiyi Sect and Beast King Mountain were both members of the Human n and allies within the Jiuqu League. Therefore, they should stand together against the invasion of demonic beasts. Beast King Mountain was willing to send a team of cultivators to assist Taiyi Sect in repelling the invasion.
However, Niu Dawei did not believe a word of Qiu Mingze''s speech. Though he didn''t possess Mind Reading Divine Ability, he was sure that Qiu Mingze had ulterior motives. Instead of outright agreeing, Niu Dawei expressed concerns about the powerful invading demonic beasts and how Taiyi Sect would be held responsible if there were casualties among the Beast King Mountain cultivators during the battle.
While not explicitly stated, Niu Dawei''s tone subtly conveyed a sense of looking down upon the strength of Beast King Mountain. The outpost of New Beast King Mountain in Demon Wind Gobi consisted mostly of Foundation Building cultivators, and facing a horde of Third Rank demonic beasts led by a powerful force, they would likely be unable to contribute significantly and might suffer unnecessary losses.
