Chapter 973: Uniting Sects to Compress the Survival Space of the Demonic Path

Editor: Henyee Translations

That very night, Jiang Chengxuan headed to the Haoran Sect’s library, consumed by the thought of compressing the living space of demonic cultivators.

He pored over the records from a great battle between good and evil, studying the distribution and strength of the demonic cultivators.

Following that battle, it was undeniable that the demonic cultivators had suffered significant losses and were suppressed by the righteous path.

However, much time had passed since then, and given the nature of demonic cultivators to favor rapid advancement, it was certain they had replenished their ranks considerably.

The methods of the demonic path—both cultivation and spells—are all about rapid success and swift gains, often employing unscrupulous means to seek the ultimate shortcuts.

Particularly some demonic cultivators, who specialize in heinous acts that defy heaven and reason to boost their cultivation, are regarded as abominations deserving of universal condemnation.

Jiang Chengxuan sifted through the materials, and a strategic map slowly took shape in his mind.

In coordination with the righteous forces of the Floodgate Realm, he formulated the most efficient and prudent plan.

Outside, dawn was breaking, and unbeknownst to him, Jiang Chengxuan had been reading for a full day and night. Yet, he felt no fatigue.

For he had seemingly solved a long-standing problem plaguing the Floodgate Realm, with the solution now clear in his mind.

Without hesitation, he shared his plans with his Shifu, Qin Shenwu, who lavished him with praise.

“Indeed, when it comes down to crucial moments, we must rely on you young ones,” Qin Shenwu remarked.

The sudden onset of the great calamity of the demonic immortals had thrown everyone into disarray.

It was crucial yet overlooked until now, revealed only through Jiang Chengxuan’s recent discovery.

Fortunately, there was still time to act.

After the great battle between good and evil, the demonic cultivators had hidden themselves too well, causing many to forget their malignance.

The nature of the demonic path was hard to change, and they had to be dealt with, no matter what.

Swiftly, Jiang Chengxuan drafted a message detailing his thoughts and sent it to various sects and factions.

That very day, his plan reached many high-ranking members of various sects.

Surprised yet enlightened by the opportunity, these sects readily agreed, naturally offering no opposition.

The next day, countless responses flooded back to the Haoran Sect, landing in Jiang Chengxuan’s hands.

Almost everyone agreed to participate, aiming to compress the activities of demonic cultivators throughout the Floodgate Realm, regardless of their strength or size.

The main discussions were about which forces to target and who would be responsible for which areas.

Undoubtedly, they all looked to the Haoran Sect as the leader in this initiative, awaiting Jiang Chengxuan’s specific arrangements.

However, it wasn’t as simple as Jiang Chengxuan dictating plans for others to follow.

His primary task was to consolidate the responses, information, and suggestions from the various sects,

Then relay them to other factions for joint deliberation.

Thus, centered around Jiang Chengxuan, a plan targeting the demonic cultivators of the Floodgate Realm was quietly taking shape.

The primary targets were, of course, the most brutal and unprincipled demonic forces.

Especially sects like the Sacred Skeleton Sect, known for their utter ruthlessness, using murder, corpses, and bones as resources for cultivation and combat methods.

For such targets, no reason was needed to justify their subjugation.

They were unstable elements for any force.

The first step was naturally to ascertain the current distribution and strength of the demonic cultivators in the Floodgate Realm.

Being exceedingly cunning, the demonic cultivators had likely shifted their main bases after the previous purge by the righteous forces.

Under Jiang Chengxuan’s orders, each sect discreetly dispatched their cultivators to gather intelligence,

Providing cover for one another during the process.

For example, the Haoran Sect or those from the East could investigate in the West,

ensuring that even if the demonic cultivators noticed something amiss, they wouldn’t be overly suspicious.

After all, under normal circumstances, what grievances could there be between distant forces to warrant such targeted actions?

But the demonic forces had not anticipated that the various factions had already united.

Soon, as time passed, information about the demonic cultivators gradually surfaced.

The findings were shocking.

Many had not anticipated that numerous demonic forces were already laying plans to summon the legendary demonic immortals.

Moreover, during this chaotic period, these demonic cultivators had regained much of their strength.

Particularly during the battle of the Five Realms, where the death toll among cultivators was staggeringly high,

These opportunistic demonic cultivators had reaped many benefits.

And now, as the great calamity approached, causing further chaos, many demonic forces were eagerly stirring.

For instance, the Sacred Skeleton Sect, which had seized the opportunity to slaughter several smaller sects completely, using them as resources to cultivate their nefarious bone techniques.

Without meticulous investigation, no one would have even heard a whisper of these deeds.

These demonic forces, much like cockroaches, were thriving in the shadows.

Such news undoubtedly sent chills through all the righteous sects and reinforced their resolve to eradicate the demonic forces.

Moreover, the strategy had to be multifaceted and thorough, attacking the root of the demonic cultivation to stifle its growth.

Under Jiang Chengxuan’s coordination, many forces began to systematically suppress the demonic influences.

Starting from the lowest ranks, any activity attempted by demonic cultivators was met with resistance.

In the past, infighting among the righteous forces might have given the demonic cultivators an advantage.

But now, everyone seemed like a warrior of justice; upon sighting a demonic cultivator, they would lend aid to thwart their schemes without hesitation.

In such circumstances, the demonic cultivators of the Floodgate Realm suddenly found themselves under immense pressure.

If their strengths had been mismatched, they could have continued to benefit from the chaos and sneak around collecting spoils.

But now, with the various forces allied and settling disputes through peaceful discussions, all focus was turned towards combating the demonic factions.

During this period, countless clashes erupted between the forces of good and evil throughout the Floodgate Realm.

Although these conflicts were still confined to the lower ranks of cultivators, they were a clear sign of the tough times the demonic forces were facing.

The range of activities for demonic cultivators was severely limited.

Apart from the territories they directly controlled, demonic cultivators were being expelled from everywhere else, corralled into specific areas.

The scrutiny and patrols were intensified to ensure that the demonic forces were contained within these designated areas.

However, there was no attempt to completely exterminate them yet.
