Outside the temporary residence of the White Mountain Beast Taming Sect, Fang Qingyuan wandered about aimlessly. A seven-year war of expansion, paid for with the lives of over ten thousand Cultivators, had secured a new territory a million square kilometers in size.
The original inhabitant of this land, a Divinity Transformation-level Ancient Beast of the Wilderness—a relatively gentle-natured female elephant—had been jointly slain by Divinity Transformation Cultivators dispatched from the Great Zhou Academy, Qi Yun, and Beast Taming Mountain.
Divinity Transformation Ancient Beasts have incredibly long lifespans, some surviving for well over ten thousand years. Such immense lengths of time leave them rigid and unyielding; they would rather die than surrender. Thus, in wars of expansion, such beasts are usually killed outright.
