Chapter 307: 140: The Fall of the Demon Saint, Inventory of Gains, and Breaking Through the Golden Core (8k combined for monthly votes) – Part 4

After regaining consciousness, Liang Sheng quietly followed the survivors. Xiang Chen occasionally smiled at Liang Sheng during the journey, but remained silent otherwise.

The joy of victory from the previous great battle against the Demonic Beasts had long faded away. Even when they arrived at the Dan Ding Sect’s mountain gate, the Mountain Protection Formation remained closed, no matter how much they shouted.

Even after Xiang Chen and others repeatedly assured and swore on the Heavenly Dao that the demonic beasts had been defeated and the Sect Alliance had won a great victory, the Dan Ding Sect still did not open the gate.

Seeing this, Xiang Chen and the others did not get angry. After all, the cultivators who were guarding the gate had informed them about a piece of news via the formation.

Dandingzi’s Sect Master’s Life Token had shattered!

Disciples guarding the mountain gates of other sects also received similarly dreadful news – the Life Tokens of all Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Two Sects and Six Paths had shattered.

Under such circumstances, they had no idea what had happened and could only temporarily treat the returning sect disciples as if they were stranded outside the gates.

It was certain that the disciples inside believed that their fellow sect members might have betrayed the sect and allied with the Demonic Beasts, or had been taken hostage by the Demonic Beasts, trying to trick them into opening the Mountain Protection Formation.

Although they felt uncomfortable, Xiang Chen and the others didn’t pay much attention, as they might have done the same had they been in their shoes.

Things were not very different in other sects, although the situation varied. After a short while, the Golden Core True Persons who were guarding the sects appeared and left the mountain gates.

Their goal was to personally inspect the situation at the Upper Green Sect, the battlefield where the decisive battle had taken place. If the Demonic Beasts were victorious, the place would definitely become their main base before they swept through the Desolate Regions.

Xiang Chen would naturally not stop them. After all, it was a good idea to let them see the truth. Therefore, they temporarily camped outside the gates.

Seven days later.

The Golden Core True Person of the Dan Ding Sect returned, his face a pale shade of defeat. The Nascent Soul masters had collectively perished, but the Demonic Beasts indeed suffered a crushing defeat, and the Demon Saint had fallen.

In the end, the sect had won.

But the cost of such a brutal victory was too great!

The sects naturally contacted each other again to verify the situation they had witnessed. The Two Sects and Six Sects guarding the mountain gates finally confirmed that the beast tide had been wiped out.

However, the Nascent Soul Sect Masters were no more. Now, within the Two Sects and Six Sects, Golden Core True Persons had become the strongest.

A few years ago, who would have imagined such a situation?

In the following year, the management of the Two Sects and Six Sects was rather chaotic. When they finally selected the most suitable Late Gold Core Peak Masters to serve as the Sect Masters, the chaos within the sects gradually subsided.

It was precisely in this chaotic period that whereas the remnants of the Demonic Beast army ran rampant in the Desolate Regions and the sects did not care about the markets, the Loose Cultivators faced a terrible situation.

Fortunately, the remaining Demonic Beasts didn’t have high cultivation levels; it was just that their numbers were relatively large. Although there were heavy casualties among the Loose Cultivators, they slowly stabilized the situation.

When the chaos within the sects subsided, the sects promptly dispatched disciples to restore order among the Loose Cultivators throughout the Desolate Regions.

At this point, there could be no more chaos in the Desolate Regions!

However, this was the sects’ business. After Liang Sheng returned to the mountain gate, he immediately entered into Closed-door Cultivation because he needed to thoroughly examine his gains.

Xiang Chen naturally had nothing more to say, as it was good for his Junior brother to rest for a while since the war was too cruel.

But the Liang Sheng that Xiang Chen was worried about was now in the Cave Mansion, smiling from ear to ear.

All the wealth of the Seven Great Nascent Soul True Monarchs had fallen into his hands – not to mention the Storage Bags left by the Golden Core True Persons and cultivators on the battlefield.

Seven Storage Rings had been added to his collection!

However, he dared not show them to anyone, as the Storage Rings were marked with their respective sects’ identities, and any sect cultivator could tell whose belongings they were.

Thirteen Spirit Tools!

Among the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs, each held the sect’s legacy Spirit Tools in their hands. Including the Spirit Tool Yu Zhenzi took out during the battle, Liang Sheng would have had fourteen Spirit Tools if Yu Zhenzi’s Spirit Tool hadn’t shattered.

However, he had to be content with what he had, and he couldn’t be too greedy. Who in their right mind would think that a sect would have thirteen Spirit Tools? Even the current Hua Tian Sect probably wouldn’t dare claim they had that many.

Next, Liang Sheng found twenty Nascent Soul Pills in the seven Storage Rings. These were likely strategic resources of the major sects, kept by the Sect Masters.

After all, Nascent Soul Masters were the cornerstones of their sects. Now that the Sect Masters of various sects had died unexpectedly, the number of Nascent Soul Pills inside these sects might even be less than what Liang Sheng held in his hands.

Although he no longer needed Nascent Soul Pills for his Nascent Soul breakthrough, the effects of the Golden Yuan Pill made Liang Sheng aware that the Nascent Soul Pills could very likely bring his cultivation speed during the Golden Core Stage up by several levels.

Ah, the resources in his possession were almost equal to those of a whole sect, or even more. There should be no cultivator in the Desolate Regions richer than him now.

He was really too rich!

As for the other elixirs, they were too numerous to count. Liang Sheng did not bother to look at them in detail at the moment, and after a rough categorization, he turned his attention to another pile of resources.

Spirit Stones!

The top-grade spirit stones that he had never obtained before now amounted to over ten thousand in front of him.

As for the mid-grade spirit stones, there were more than one hundred thousand, while there were only a few thousand low-grade spirit stones. However, this was also understandable, as the Nascent Soul Masters would not have cared about low-grade spirit stones.

Furthermore, hidden within the Storage Rings were top-grade refining materials from the Hua Tian Sect’s Yu Zhenzi, top-grade talisman materials from the Sky Solar Sect, top-grade array materials from the Xuanmen Sect, countless top-grade spirit grasses, and various alchemy ingredients from previous Sect Master Dandingzi’s storage…
