Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1137 - 480: Three Great Sects Gather at Yangshan

"Don’t worry, I’ve already communicated with the giant turtle, and we’re on our way."

Wang Ling’Er spoke with a grin. Fresh from her mental link with the giant turtle, the whole island now raced swiftly toward Yangshan.

Liang Yuan felt stunned; no sense of the island's movement reached him.

Standing atop the giant turtle itself, the surroundings remained perfectly steady around him.

Thus, detecting the island's travel proved impossible for him.

This left him in awe of Wang Ling’Er’s Beast Taming skill—she truly grasped its ultimate potential.

Who could imagine employing Beast Taming in such a brilliant fashion?

Treating the giant turtle as a mobile stronghold, free to journey anywhere desired.

With the giant turtle's velocity, it outpaced his Yangshan speedboat by multiples.

"Brother Liang Yuan, relax, the giant turtle’s pace will get us to Yangshan in under two hours. Stay calm."

"Oh, and you still haven’t shared how you set up in Yangshan."

Wang Ling’Er first reassured Liang Yuan, then inquired about his establishment in Yangshan.

Liang Yuan composed himself, realizing anxiety served no purpose now, and succinctly recounted handling Yangshan’s four major factions upon arrival.

Despite the brevity, his tale drew gasps of wonder from Wang Ling’Er and Wang Yu’Er.

Unlike their conquest of Turtle Island by merely taming one giant turtle, Liang Yuan’s team faced perilous clashes with four factions on Yangshan.

Wang Ling’Er thought that in her place, she couldn’t possibly match Liang Yuan’s feats.

"So, have all four Yangshan factions bowed to you now?"

Liang Yuan grinned and replied, "Indeed, Yangshan stands united these days, and we’ve even claimed nearby Meishan and Lingyun Slope."

"Amazing, your territory spans so vast, even conquering the sheer Lingyun Slope?" Wang Yu’Er cried out.

Lingyun Slope goes by Jueyun Slope too, with names often confused.

Regardless of Lingyun Slope or Jueyun Slope, the titles alone evoke towering cliffs.

Wang Ling’Er reflected briefly before asking, "These peaks all form the Yang Mountain Range, interlinked. What’s Yangshan’s current population?"

Liang Yuan paused momentarily and answered, "Roughly four to five thousand steady."

His two outings recruited over a thousand souls.

Yangshan Port’s construction drew numerous local survivors too.

Over time, Yangshan’s total residents surpassed four thousand for sure.

It neared five thousand by now.

Wang Ling’Er exclaimed in shock: "That many people!"

Her surprise was genuine, since Spirit Jade Island housed just over two hundred altogether.

Naturally, Spirit Jade Island’s limited size cramped land, demanding food self-production.

Population growth might overwhelm Spirit Jade Island’s capacity.

The expansive Yang Mountain Range joins three key peaks, flood-separated yet close, now bridged by Liang Yuan’s floating spans, dwarfing Spirit Jade Island by dozens-fold in scale.

For that expanse, five thousand seemed modest.

Perhaps even sparse.

In any case, Liang Yuan noted Lingyun Slope’s defenses felt woefully thin.

Without Li Qinghua’s paper mill and his Mulberry Forest factories drawing shelter folk to settle, relocation there would prove tougher.

"Is that a lot? It strikes me as too sparse, given the vastness."

Wang Ling’Er shook her head firmly and countered, "It’s plenty already—do you know the Water God Sect’s numbers?"

"How many?"

"Excluding mere believers, true Water God Sect members number just over three thousand."

"Yet that makes them a powerhouse in Guangfu."

Liang Yuan blinked in surprise and said, "Just three thousand core members?"

Wang Ling’Er affirmed with a nod: "Correct, but those three thousand form the Water God Sect’s elite core, beyond ordinary followers. Every one wields Superpowers."

"These three thousand can collect Genetic Species too, meaning each boasts at least forty-five points in their primary attribute to join officially."

"Similar standards hold for the other two sects."

"The Three Great Sects command huge followings in Guangfu, amassing everyday believers first before picking promising Superpower Users for training."

Liang Yuan saw Yangshan’s populace rivaled the Three Great Sects in size.

Yet it lagged miles behind in elite fighters.

For instance, Water God Sect’s three thousand cores all topped forty-five points.

Yangshan’s five thousand included Superpower Users at merely two-fifths.

Those exceeding forty-five in main attributes were rarer still.

Liang Yuan puzzled over it—Yangshan brimmed with Superpower Energy, but shelter dwellers shunned mutant flesh unlike him.

Even eating mutants, averages hovered at twenty to thirty points.

Why did Three Great Sects members advance so rapidly?

This thought prompted Liang Yuan to voice the query.

Wang Ling’Er explained, "Three Great Sects elites skip production entirely, dedicating themselves to cultivation, expansion, and endless battles."

"Daily, they battle or train, boosting main attributes swiftly."

"Plus, the Three Great Sects wield unique cultivation accelerators."

"Like Genetic Activation Technique, special potions, energy-dense mutant beasts, and efficiency pods."

Liang Yuan marveled aloud: "The Three Great Sects possess such boosts?"

Wang Ling’Er nodded: "With abundant talents, they invent tech-superpower hybrids aplenty."

"Military leads in tech-superpower fusion, though."

"But military secrets leak often; tech spreads out."

"Take Genetic Activation Technique—military origin, swiped by Spiritual Ability Sect, then peddled across Guangfu."

"Some claim military released it to aid desperate civilians in defying fate."

"Three Great Sects tout it as gifts from their gods—pure fabrication."

"Regardless, Genetic Activation Technique transformed countless lives in Guangfu."

"It launched myriad paths to Superpower mastery."

"Other tech like genetic potions and enhancement pods? Each faction crafts their own."

"Bottom line, Guangfu’s cultivation scene thrives on fierce rivalry—more factions mean cutthroat competition."

"Even pre-Flood, swelling numbers sparked clashes, as you know."

Wang Ling’Er laced her final words with wry bite.

Liang Yuan chuckled inwardly, grasping that Yangshan folk trailed Three Great Sects not from laziness alone, but systemic gaps.

Yangshan residents couldn’t abandon life’s basics for pure cultivation.

Survival demanded eating, working, farming.

Even sharing Genetic Activation Technique for faster gains, round-the-clock training stayed impossible.

He mused deeply: "To strengthen Yangshan, we need a dedicated cadre freed from daily toil, immersed in cultivation and battle drills."

"That way, we forge a mighty force to thrive in this Great Flood chaos."

In thought, his gaze shifted to Wang Ling’Er: "Your followers here show impressive main attributes. Do they train exclusively?"

Wang Ling’Er smiled at the question: "Far from it—with so few, skipping farming means starvation."

"We pursue elites: few handle crops, rest hone cultivation and combat."

"Plus, I stock all Three Great Sects’ efficiency tools."

"Purchased Genetic Activation Technique products, energy pods, speed-boosting genetic potions."

"Entry to Spirit Jade Island demands at least 45 combat power points for consideration."

"Thus, every resident starts with solid battle strength."

Liang Yuan recognized her elite recruitment tactic.

She demanded baseline power upfront, slashing newbie training costs.

This suited Spirit Jade Island’s tight capacity perfectly.

Their discussion delved deep into power management strategies.

Liang Yuan absorbed valuable insights from Wang Ling’Er.

He resolved to launch elite training upon return.

Wang Ling’Er likewise gleaned talent-nurturing tips from Liang Yuan.

Though avoiding rookies now, a future floating island conquest would benefit immensely.

Two hours slipped by amid their lively exchange.

Wang Yu’Er surfaced from below, calling out, "Sister, Brother Liang Yuan, Yangshan approaches."

Her young face tense, spurring Wang Ling’Er’s quick query: "Trouble afoot?"

Wang Yu’Er nodded gravely: "Yes, loads of ships circle Yangshan’s edges."

"Water God Sect?" Wang Ling’Er pressed instantly.

"No, all Three Great Sects—Water God, Spiritual Ability, Earth Mother too." Wang Yu’Er answered tensely.

"What! The entire Three Great Sects assembled?"

Wang Ling’Er shot to her feet, face etched with disbelief.

Liang Yuan sprang up too, face darkening as he demanded: "Why unite, the Three Great Sects?"

Wang Ling’Er paced the chamber agitatedly: "Yang Mountain Range’s immensity must scare the Water God Sect from solo conquest, sparking a Three Great Sects alliance."

"The Three Great Sects allying? Aren’t they sworn foes?" Liang Yuan questioned gravely.

Wang Ling’Er shook her head: "Among powers, no foes last forever—interests endure eternally."

"What unique resources lures Yangshan’s mass assault?"

Liang Yuan furrowed his brow, suspecting only one resource fit.

Buried deep in Yang Mountain Range lay a colossal Superpower Stone Mine!

Did the Three Great Sects converge after sensing Yangshan’s vast Superpower Stone Mine deposits?
