Frigid Origin Realm (3)

Several months later, Firgid Origin Realm, Flowing Sand Continent

After several months, the God Tree finally bloomed and was fully germinated, which meant that they had successfully established a God Territory on this small patch of land.

This was good news for the Ōtsutsuki Expeditionary Forces because the moment Yakou connected with the God Tree and finished the God Territory, they would be able to withstand even attacks from Holy Lords in their own Origin World for some time.

Now, with the God Territory established, the fortifications were also finished, and the process of laying down Sealing Arrays was in progress. While in progress, the majority of the job was already finished, and now the place had rather formidable defenses.

That was kind enough it put even Yakou at ease for the time being.

When Yakou was confident in their defensive capabilities and with Phase 1 officially done as they managed to secure the foothold in the Frigid Origin Realm, they could move on to Phase 2 of the plan.

Conquest of the Frigid Origin Realm.

For that, Yakou was right now having a meeting with all inner circle members of the Expeditionary Force, essentially all Clansmen who were calling the shots in this place and were in charge under him.

"Now that we have established the God Territory, we need to start with the conquest of the Frigid Origin Realm... Dōma, present your findings."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma was kidnapping cultivators of the Flowing Sand Continent for the past five months or so and extracting information from them. Right now, they have a very good grasp of knowledge about not only the Frigid Origin Realm but also about the Realm of Gods.

Naturally, the information they learned weren't something secret and most general information, but it was better than nothing. Of course, it was better than nothing and they could work with this.

"Now, we would be focusing solely on the Flowing Sand Continent because, as we have learned, the Flowing Sand Continent has been disconnected from the rest of the Frigid Origin Realm for reasons unknown."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma then stood up as he projected a holographic map of the entire Flowing Sand Continent, with several distinctive markings, a division into territories and even sub-territories with marks of factions that ruled their respective lands.

"The biggest obstacle we will encounter would be solely laying on the Iron-Sand City, which is located in the middle of the Flowing Sand Continent. The Iron-Sand City is the hegemon of the entire continent; the rest are absolutely insignificant aside from two notable sects, Flame Lotus Palace and Dune Sand Cult, as they have confirmed several Divine King Realm Cultivators."

Indeed as it proved, the Frigid Origin Realm was far stronger than even the Middle-Rank Star Realm...

"What about the strength of the Iron-Sand City?"

Ōtsutsuki Kirihara raised her hand as Ōtsutsuki Dōma frowned upon hearing the question.

"We don't know precisely, probably the City Lord or someone behind him is surely at the Divine Sovereign Realm and there are more than ten Divine Kings in the Iron-Sand City... though there is another problematic thing..."

He then made a pause, which made Yakou narrow his eyes as he was listening to the report.

"From several people I 'questioned', I heard that the Iron-Sand City has someone directly connected to the Sky Gate Sect."

Sky Gate Sect was the name of the ruling faction of the Frigid Origin Realm, and it was also a faction of the Divine Master Realm King. Weirdly enough, someone connected to the Sky Gate Sect was in the abandoned Flowing Sand Continent...

That was most intriguing about, at the same time, also greatly disturbing.

For the time being, Yakou didn't wish to deal with the Sky Gate Sect, as the ruling faction of the Frigid Origin Realm had some very powerful cultivators, many of which are match even from powerful Saint Realm Ōtsutsukis.

Not to mention, according to the rumors, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect was also a Divine Master Realm cultivator comparable to Saint Immortal of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Hmm... while we lack the trustworthy source, we will work with the variant that the leadership of the Iron-Sand City is indeed connected to the Sky Gate Sect."

Yakou, as the commander of the Ōtsutsuki Expeditionary Force, in the end, decided to take the rumors seriously because he would rather be safe than sorry. He didn't take any chances; probably, his overly cautious personality was speaking here.

Not to mention the last experiences he had with the Automaton Commander, he got too paranoid about anything, as he almost died in the self-destruction of the Automaton Commander due to underestimating his opponent.

This was the moment that severely curbed down his arrogance.

"Now, according to the plan, the most suitable advance would be to go into the forbidden zones in the Flowing Sand Continent to pant the God Trees and harvest some fruits for the development. We can easily gather many High-Grade Chakra Fruits and Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruits in a short span of time."

Indeed, this realm was a treasure trove in itself... the quantity of Profound Energy was so much staggering that it made look Starveil Origin World like a desolate wasteland...

Though at the same time, as the saying goes, "Life finds a way" and such thing happened as all major species in the Starveil Origin World developed in a certain direction to obtain power.

Like the Werevolves, which developed their Aura, Vampires got stronger through Blood, Ōtsutsukis through planting the God Trees and harvesting Fruits. Everyone adjusted to the situation; everyone adapted, and even the Sage Clan that was solely cultivating Nature Energy developed to this.

"Then, after capturing the Forbidden Areas, which are consisting approximately 40% of the Flowing Sand Continent, due to an overwhelming number of Profound Beasts and extremely dangerous flora, we can advance on the Iron-Sand City."

Hopefully, then, they would already have several Saint among them, which would essentially guarantee their success in the operation. However, the only way how to fight out would be to fight some Divine Realm cultivators.

Yakou wanted to compare them, to see how strong they were compared to the Saints of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Maybe he could go out and fight some Profound Beasts on the Divine King Realm to find and see, to compare them in a real combat and gather real data. All information that the Ōtsutsuki Clan had on the Profound Way Cultivation System was mainly theoretical.

"Now, if you allow me, I have already created a plan for the conquest of the Forbidden Lands on the Flowing Sand Continent. If we move fast and without any loss, we can do this in one year, with the germination time for the God Trees should be around five to six months, maybe seven or eight, depending on the conditions."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma then started presenting the next stage of the plan.
