Chapter 1064: Spiritual Object Physical Body
Liu Yu looked around and glanced at the mountain gate, which was still intact, then at the surrounding barren land stretching for a thousand li. He could not help but shake his head with a trace of helplessness.
Relocating a sect's mountain gate was no trivial matter. It concerned the rise and fall of an entire sect, and under normal circumstances, it could not be moved lightly.
After all, even setting aside the choice of location and the influence of various powers, simply managing one place required a tremendous amount of time, effort, manpower, and resources.
But things had come to this, and it was something that had to be done.
The old must go before the new can come.
Not only was the fourth-tier high quality spiritual vein insufficient to support a cultivator at the divine transformation realm in daily cultivation, but with the vast base of mortals gone, recruiting new disciples in the future would amount to a drop in the bucket.
The area within a thousand li around Yuan Yang Sect had originally been the most prosperous region of Former Yan State, gathering more than forty percent of its population.
Now, with Burning Heart Demonic Emperor's single strike turning it into a barren land, it could be said that the sect's development potential had been greatly affected.
Relying only on those with spiritual root aptitude who came out of admiration, along with the ones sent over by cultivation families and loose cultivators, was far from enough to meet the demand for new disciples.
Moreover, these two groups had somewhat complicated "backgrounds," and taking in too many of them would create serious hidden dangers.
The descendants of loose cultivators were too self-interested. They were exquisitely selfish, always thinking only of themselves, and would not have much sense of belonging to the sect.
The children of cultivation families mostly prioritized their own clan interests. They would always think of their small family first, and if their numbers became too large, the hidden dangers would be even greater.
By comparison, those with spiritual root aptitude born from the huge mortal base were the true foundation of a sect.
Only when the last category of disciples—those from the "branch faction"—remained the majority could the sect's foundation be considered stable, and it would avoid turning into a "sect in name, family in essence" situation.
Because of this, when immortal cultivators slaughter mortals on a large scale, they will eventually be held accountable by the immortal sects.
"At present, Former Yan State is not enough to support my ambitions, nor can it support the establishment of a holy land."
Liu Yu felt a little emotional.
People were not grass or trees; how could they be without feelings?
After all, he had lived here for several hundred years. He was about to leave forever, so some reluctance still rose from the bottom of his heart.
In a primordial spirit state, everything between heaven and earth became unprecedentedly clear.
He did not need to concentrate his spiritual perception or use spells to assist him. Even in a very ordinary state, his vision could see things at the level of "spiritual particles."
The dozens of spiritual veins in the mountain gate, as well as the hundreds or even thousands of spiritual energy nodes, were all laid bare before him.
After a few sweeps, Liu Yu already had a clear understanding in his mind.
With one thought, his primordial spirit body, larger than a mountain, moved its hands and slowly formed spell gestures.
A few breaths later, the spell gesture was complete.
Three magical seals, each about ten zhang in size and entirely blue, slowly revolved around him, then were controlled by his divine thought and sent downward.
Whoosh~
With a barely noticeable sound of wind, the three blue streaks of light flashed past, flying toward different directions of the Yuan Yang Sect mountain gate before merging seamlessly into the ground.
Buzz buzz~
The earth trembled slightly. Not long after, where the magical seals landed, blue halos with a diameter of several dozen zhang each lit up.
