Chapter 114

With the unanimous approval of all seven major sects, the Flying Immortal Sect officially became the eighth major sect in the Northern Region. Next was the matter of delineating the territorial boundaries of the Flying Immortal Sect. Each of the seven major sects had its control area, including the secular nations under their jurisdiction.

In the Northern Region, the territory held by speculated nations was relatively small. An immortal sect couldnt claim territory arbitrarily, as there were established spheres of influence to prevent disputes and wars between sects.

We have no aspirations in other parts of the Northern Region. Panacea Peak and the Vast Azure Mountains will belong to the Flying Immortal Sect. Is this acceptable to all? Li Su spoke again.

After exchanging glances, several sect leaders agreed. They were concerned that Li Su might make excessive demands due to his unfamiliarity with the customary rules among Northern Region sects. However, as long as Li Su only claimed Panacea Peak and the Vast Azure Mountains, they were more than happy to oblige.

While Panacea Peak was a sizable area, it was isolated by the Vast Azure Mountains, which had limited spiritual energy. The other directions were all ocean, inhabited by many sea beasts.

Though hunting and killing demonic beasts could yield significant benefits, facing overly powerful ones could be more dangerous than advantageous. The Seven Great Immortal Sects had no interest in remote places like Panacea Peak. Even if they occasionally passed by, they had no desire to linger.

Panacea Peak might have some cultivation resources, but valuable resources like spirit stone mines were discovered only once every several decades or centuries. The spirit stone mine in Panacea Peak was small and already claimed by three other sects, so the major sects werent interested.

Even the late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the Northern Region were not inclined to visit Panacea Peak. After all, the Vast Azure Mountains harbored fourth-tier demonic beasts, which could be very dangerous.

Senior Li, the Immortal Alliance is a coalition of many immortal sects, united to combat threats posed by rogue cultivators, demonic beasts, and various other entities. Joining an immortal sect is not complicated. Theres an Immortal Alliance branch in Panacea City. You and Senior Shangguan can register there, explained the leader of the Silver Feather Sect.

Li Su responded with an Oh.

It should be similar to the Holy Alliance. The Holy Alliance was a coalition of various sects of magic, while the Immortal Alliance was a coalition of immortal sects.

This kind of organization should be loose, like the Holy Alliance. Even if a magic sect joined, magic sects might still war against each other. There were significant differences between immortal sects and magic sects.

Many cultivators were still willing to abide by the rules. When disputes arise over resources, they might engage in conflicts, but they would not be as ruthless as magic cultivators who had no moral boundaries.

In situations like this, where everyone sat down and discussed matters based on their strength, peacefully dividing resources and spheres of influence was more common.

In the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle prevailed, but it didnt always lead to violence. There were alternative forms of competition as well. For instance, smaller immortal sects or cultivation families might lack the qualifications to enter this room. This was because it was improbable for a Nascent Soul immortal sect to amass more resources than a Golden Core immortal sect.

Furthermore, even if Li Su were to make ambitious demands and attempt to take over the territory of smaller immortal sects, if those smaller sects lacked support, they would likely relocate without a fuss.

After joining the Immortal Alliance, there will be an initial assessment of the sects rank. If cultivators are in the late Nascent Soul stage, your sect would be considered a fourth-grade immortal sect. If they are in the early to middle stages, it would be classified as a fifth-grade immortal sect, explained another sect leader.
