For the territory of the Dongling Domain, it was necessary for many disciples of the Five Elements Sect to remain behind.
King Zhou, with the authorization of Chen Mobai, promised various benefits. For example, Qi Cultivating Disciples who reach ninth layer perfection can freely choose one of the Foundation Establishment Trithings provided by the sect for free; for Foundation Establishment Practitioners, they are prioritized with Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.
The cultivators on this side of Tianhe Realm have an ingrained desire for realm advancement, deeply etched in their bones. So, upon hearing this, the majority chose to stay.
However, when Chen Mobai left, he still took a number of people with him.
When the Five Elements Sect initially brought this group of disciples to pioneer, they mentioned it would be at most ten years. Therefore, most of their possessions and such were in the Eastern Wilderness.
