Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Chapter 190 Rumors (2/2)

As it affected all of the cultivators in the Thousand Islands Domain, the cultivators there paid it great attention.

As for those other low-ranking cultivators below the Golden Core Stage, it did not matter much to them. No matter how the Thousand Islands Domain changed, they could not resist and could only endure in silence.

After all,

If they left the Thousand Islands Domain, they would have nowhere else to go.

Fortunately, no matter the changes, this division of power meeting would not affect these individuals.

The ones most affected were naturally the Golden Core Stage Island Masters of the other small islands.

Originally, they each, or in groups of two or three, occupied an island and lived comfortably.

But with this change, it was as if there was now another manager above them on their island.

And this manager was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, making it impossible for them to even think about resisting.

Of course, they would not dare to resist because this was news that came from within the three major islands.

In the Thousand Islands Domain, no one dared to defy the commands of the three major islands; otherwise, even if they wanted to flee, they could not.

When this order first surfaced, due to the absence of certification by the Island Masters of the three major islands, people were skeptical and adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

It was only when the event caused a great uproar, and the division of power meeting was about to commence,

that the Island Master of Yue Tian Island, Bai Yi, stepped forward to confirm the news.

After receiving definite news, some Island Masters who cherished freedom and disliked being managed simply left the Thousand Islands Domain.

Their departure was just a prelude.

After all, they were only a very small portion, and most people were unwilling to leave the Thousand Islands Domain.

Following their departure, some other cultivators immediately took over their islands.

Regarding these matters, everyone was well aware that this was bound to happen.

Therefore, no one from the three major islands stepped forward, and things were just tacitly accepted as they happened.

Apart from that, there was Zhang Jian.

Previously, Lin Jing had inadvertently revealed this information to Zhang Jian in a casual chat.

However, since the news had not been released at that time, although Zhang Jian had learned about it, he was not overly alarmed.

Until the news spread later.

People began to speculate about the intentions of the three major islands, and suddenly rumors were flying all over.

Some said that the three major islands controlling the various islands were planning on dominating the entire Thousand Islands Domain to prepare for war with other sea domains.

Others said that this was a way for the three major islands to centralize resources from each island for their own use.

Some of the most exaggerated rumors even claimed that the three major islands were doing this to set up a grand formation that would envelop the entire Thousand Islands Domain,

and then sacrifice all living beings of the Thousand Islands Domain.

Afterwards, through that sacrifice, the Island Masters of the three major islands would ascend.

…

…

And so on and so forth…

A multitude of rumors left many people uncertain.

Even Zhang Jian was puzzled.

So Zhang Jian hurriedly came to ask Lin Jing what exactly was going on.

Regarding this matter, Lin Jing did not know much either and could not provide Zhang Jian with an answer.

He would only understand clearly after attending the division of powers meeting.

However, regarding those rumors circulating outside, Lin Jing did not believe them.

This was, after all, the Thousand Islands Domain, thousands of islands, and countless living beings resided here.

How could it be so easily sacrificed at someone’s whim?

As for the rumors, Lin Jing paid them no mind and continued making his Elixir Medicine.

Until this day, someone came to Li Yan Island, inviting Lin Jing to go to Yue Tian Island for the meeting regarding the division of regional authority.

The person who came looking for Lin Jing was none other than Xue Yilin…
