"Senior Brother Huang!" The remaining Foundation Establishment Elders of the Yellow Sand Sect inquired at this moment.

"From today onwards, we Foundation Establishment cultivators will act as proxy elders. After all, in a Golden Core Influence, Elders can’t be just Foundation Establishment cultivators!" Huang Tiyun repeatedly explained.

Seeing that some still didn’t understand.

Huang Tiyun immediately shouted, "You all need to perform better. If anyone can become the apprentice of the Supreme Elder, they’ll be the next Sect Leader of the Celestial Sand Sect!"

The remaining Foundation Establishment Elders finally understood Huang Tiyun’s intention.

Obviously, he knew that a cultivator like Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t stay in the Celestial Sand Sect for long, so he wanted to make the most of Ye Jingcheng’s gratitude towards the sect while it lasted to develop as much as possible.

"Senior Brother Huang, about these corpses..."

"Junior Brother Huang Fei, deliver the Storage Bags to the Supreme Elder—no, I’ll deliver these Storage Bags myself!"

"Take these heads and their identifying items to the Righteous Sect and make a record. Although it doesn’t give much Contribution Points, if the Supreme Elder has any requests, exchanges for treasures can be made!" Huang Tiyun instructed continuously.

"Also, have Junior Brother Cheng elevate the Martial Arts Arena for the core disciples, and double the daily cultivation tasks for the sect’s core disciples!" Huang Tiyun hesitated for a moment and then added.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators aren’t young, and the possibility of being taken as disciples is slim, whereas young cultivators are the ones those elder experts like to take as disciples.

...

Sha Huang Mountain doesn’t always rise sharply; at its peak, it seems as if someone had sliced it with a sword, leaving a considerable flat top.

At the center of the flat top, there are several pavilions.

These pavilions are usually sealed with Spirit Talismans, clearly meant to be used as seclusion places for cultivators to break through.

Such places are where the Spiritual Energy is densest.

At this moment, naturally, Xiao Congrong also brought the two to this place.

"Esteemed Elders, this is the place on Sha Huang Mountain with the best Spiritual Energy!"

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haiyan showed no change in expression, Xiao Congrong added:

"Actually, the spiritual vein of the Celestial Sand Sect used to be at Tier Five, but unfortunately, after some changes and enemies severing the mountain’s peak, more than half of the spiritual vein was severed, leaving only this Tier Three Spirit Mountain!"

"This spirit vein is quite good!" Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

He naturally wouldn’t complain since it was already the place with the densest Spiritual Energy on Sha Huang Mountain.

"Daoist Xiao..."

"There’s no need for the Supreme Elder to call me by my full name, please just call me Congrong; otherwise, this junior would be anxious!" Xiao Congrong quickly lowered his head.

"Congrong, I need some Jade Talismans to understand about the Cultivation Realm around here, such as the nearby markets, the layout of the Central Domain Immortal Sect, and some forbidden places!" Ye Jingcheng spoke directly.

Honestly, he wanted to visit the Celestial Sand Sect’s Treasure Pavilion.

"Rest assured Elder, I’ll have someone send them over!" Xiao Congrong nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded as well, estimating that the Jade Talismans and such in the Treasure Tower were likely taken during the enemy invasion.

So, he decided to wait here.

Soon enough, a cultivator brought them over.

After reading through them, Ye Jingcheng exchanged a glance with Ye Haiyan.

"Uncle Gong, we made the right decision coming this time!" Ye Jingcheng handed the Jade Talisman to Ye Haiyan.

From the data on the Celestial Sand Sect, the entire Central Domain is divided into fifty provinces and hundreds of prefectures.

Take Nanyu Province where they are as an example; it has eleven prefectures.

Here, a prefecture is equivalent to several counties in the Eastern Domain.

This exemplifies the vastness of the Central Domain.

No wonder it can host nine Divinity Transformation superpowers.

In the Central Domain, the Demon Sects are the Penglai Demon Sect and the Profound Celestial Demon Sect.

One occupies the Eastern Domain and the other the Southern Domain, which are separated by numerous mountains and the Celestial Demon Mountain Range from the Eastern Domain and the Central Domain.

The Southern Domain and the Central Domain, however, aren’t that far apart.

Therefore, the Profound Celestial Sect gradually controls the three southernmost provinces of the Central Domain.

These are Nanxuan Province, Southern Celestial Province, and Nanman Province.

Among them, Nanman Province borders the Southern Wilderness Province and Nanyu Province controlled by the Righteous Sect.

There are often mutual attacks and invasions among subordinate forces between them.

Of course, there aren’t many battles between the Profound Celestial Sect and the Righteous Sect; evidently, at the Divinity Transformation level, everyone is more restrained.

Among the Three Great Immortal Sects, besides the Righteous Sect, there are the Purple Sun Immortal Sect and Baiqiao Valley.

The three Immortal Families are the Wang Family, Ouyang Family, and Zhao Family.

Lastly, the Buddhist Sect is Jinguang Temple.

There’s no need for the Ye Family to worry about so much.

After all, Xiaoshan Prefecture alone is equivalent to half of the Yan Kingdom, and there are eleven such prefectures in the Southern Wilderness Province.

The entire Southern Wilderness Province has four Nascent Soul Powers and more than a dozen Golden Core Influences.

This is truly a Cultivation Sacred Land.

Most crucially, the Righteous Sect prohibits subordinate forces from mutual attacks.

And the biggest contention among the cultivation forces in the Southern Wilderness Province is the struggle against the Profound Celestial Demon Sect’s forces.

The force besieging this time is the Celestial Sword Sect from Shanqing Prefecture in Nanman Province.

Aside from battles, Ye Jingcheng is more concerned about markets and trading conferences.

Now that he is in the Early Stage of Golden Core, he’d naturally want to participate in Golden Core Trading Conferences and auctions at least Tier Four level.

After becoming familiarized, he plans to open a shop in the market.

That way, the treasures of the Ye Family can also be sold.

After reviewing several Jade Talismans, Ye Jingcheng learned that the largest market in Xiaoshan Prefecture is the Xiaoshan Market.

This is a market controlled by the Nascent Soul Power Profound Puppet Sect, which holds a Tier Four Trading Conference every ten years and even has a Tier Five Auction and a Nascent Soul Trading Conference every hundred years.
