Fierce Battle Against the Fire-Bathing Tribe (Part One)
At Great White Residence, Yang Tianyou took out two Spirit Materials that he had prepared beforehand and handed them to Yunhua.
The Spirit Material on the left is an ice-blue bead the size of a human head. With a slight sense, one can detect the astonishing cold energy contained within the bead.
The Spirit Material on the right is a piece of dark blue Spirit Gold, also the size of a human head, exuding a chilling aura and possessing a peculiar feeling of all-encompassing power.
"Ice-Spirit Mystic Jade Pearl, Taiyin Cold Iron, my husband is so thoughtful!" Yunhua smiled sweetly, her eyes curving like crescent moons, in a very good mood.
Both of these Spirit Materials are Fifth-Tier Peak-Grade, and neither of them were previously found in the Yang Household's treasure vault. Clearly, this was a surprise from Yang Tianyou.
"Madam has just broken through to the Spirit Transformation, and it's the perfect time to consolidate her cultivation. While she's at it, let's refine these two Spirit Items into the Ice-Spirit Pearl and the Cold Moon Immortal Sword," Yang Tianyou said with a slight smile.
"There are still more than thirty days until the opening of the Spirit Commandery Realm Gate. Both of these Spirit Materials are of very high grade, so I estimate that we can only refine one at most." Yunhua said, picking up the piece of Taiyin Cold Iron.
"My Supreme Yin Immortal-Slaying Sword is a deadly Divine Ability, far more powerful than the Taiyin Divine Light. I should upgrade the grade of the Cold Moon Immortal Sword first!"
"Madam, you may decide for yourself!"
The couple talked for a while, and then Yunhua returned to her quiet room to cultivate in seclusion, consolidating her cultivation and upgrading the grade of the Cold Moon Immortal Sword.
Yang Tianyou summoned Feng Cang and the Fire God Dao Soldier back from the Chaotic Sea, while ordering the Purple Moon Army to prepare for battle. The Cultivators of his Lineage and the forces under his command also began to mobilize.
A large amount of supplies were requisitioned by the Yang Household, and War Flying Vessels took off from various locations in Purple Moon Commandery and Luochuan Commandery, converging on Purple Moon City.
Besides the Yang Household, the Mountain and River Hall also issued an emergency mobilization order, especially in Spirit Commandery, where a large-scale relocation of Mortals began, directly emptying three counties in preparation for war.
In an instant, all the counties in West Qin Province that belonged to the Mountain and River Hall were mobilized.
Several counties in Lan Province also began to mobilize, and a large number of War Flying Vessels converged on Spirit Commandery like a trickle of water. Before the war even started, the smell of gunpowder had already permeated the entire territory.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Spirit Commandery, Mohe County.
The deep canyon stretches across the land like a giant dragon, with lush vegetation and a constant stream of birds and beasts.
Today, however, the canyon, which was usually filled with the roars of tigers and the howls of monkeys, was unusually quiet. Whether they were ferocious Wild Beasts or demonic Demon Beast, they all trembled in fear and dared not make the slightest sound.
The reason for this is that the boundless Fleet gathered above the canyon, when viewed from a higher altitude, resembles countless floating Islands, scattered like stars, creating a magnificent sight.
The two Fleets, one of which had a picture of Purple Moon in the sky on its banner, representing the Yang Household, and the other had Mountain and River Emblem, representing the Mountain and River Hall.
The Flagships of the two Fleets stood side by side, awaiting the opening of the Realm Gate.
Because it was Medium Realm Gate, both the Mountain and River Hall and the Yang Household devoted tremendous effort to it. The lesson of Xuan Province was still fresh in their minds, and no one wanted to become the second Ye Household.
Yang Tianyou and Yunhua stood side by side at the bow of the boat, with Yang Yusheng, Yang Dangmo, Yang Yusheng and other Nascent Soul Nascent Soul from the Yang Household family behind them, as well as two Dragon Tortoise Dao Soldiers and more than a dozen Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Four Symbols Alliance.
These Spirit Transformation cultivators were all at the early or middle stages of the Spirit Transformation; none were at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage or Great Perfection stage.
It wasn't that the Eight Desolations Saber Saint was stingy, but rather that this Realm Gate could only accommodate beings at the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation and below.
Yang Tianyou called Feng Cang and the Fire God Dao Soldier back from the Chaotic Sea simply because he was worried that Purple Moon Mountain's defenses were insufficient.
Buzz!!
The space rippled like water, and then, with a tearing sound, a three-hundred-foot-high Realm Gate suddenly appeared in the sky above the canyon.
A terrifying suction force surged from the Realm Gate, dragging countless Wild Beasts into it amidst their shrill screams of terror.
"The Realm Gate has been opened, all troops advance!" A grand voice Dang Kai, and faintly, surging flames filled the sky, with the oppressive aura of Sage Manifestation level spreading out unrestrainedly.
Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered slightly, and he guessed the man's identity.
Ziji High Person, the Grand Elder of the Mountain and River Hall, is an Early Sage Manifestation. His Purple Extremity Divine Fire is incredibly powerful and once evaporated an entire great river with a single hand.
After Ziji High Person spoke, the Fleet of the Mountain and River Hall began to file in and enter the Realm Gate.
The Yang Household Fleet remained stationary, following a pre-arranged order of deployment.
Spirit Commandery is not Yang Household territory. The Yang Household is willing to send troops mainly because they are afraid that if the Realm Gate is breached, the family will be left vulnerable.
Even the Qin Household shares this idea.
After the Mountain and River Hall and the Yang Household's warships gathered in Spirit Commandery, the Qin Household also mobilized a large Fleet, ready to provide support at any time.
Spirit Commandery is not like Xuan Province. There are many forces blocking its way, and the Fire Spirit Palace is in front and to the east, forming an impenetrable barrier. The Divine Wind Clan army has difficulty overcoming these obstacles to reach the Qin Household.
Once this Realm Gate is broken, the Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts will cross Dai Commandery and go straight to Qin Commandery, which is the Qin Household's old lair Foundation Ground, and its importance is self-evident.
That being said, since Spirit Commandery is not Yang Household family territory, it is natural that Mountain and River Hall would be the first to lead the charge in the war.
Although the Yang Household dispatched 4,000 Purple Moon Army, 10,000 Four Elephant Army soldiers, and an army of 300,000 Cultivators, they were only there to assist.
The power of the Mountain and River Hall is far stronger than that of the Yang Household. In addition to 15,000 Mountain and River Army, they have also mobilized a total of 1.5 million Cultivators and 800 War Flying Vessels of the Third Tier or above. Their strength is terrifying. They are indeed worthy of being a long-established Province-Level Power.
After the entire Mountain and River Hall Fleet entered the Realm Gate, the Yang Household Fleet, led by Yang Tianyou and his wife, began to enter.
Although their numbers were far fewer than those of the Mountain and River Hall, the Four Symbols Army and the Purple Moon Army were not to be underestimated.
Inside the Flagship of the Mountain and River Hall, an old man with a full head of purple hair, a dignified appearance, a tall and robust figure, and the faint shadow of a Qilin floating behind him looked at the Yang Household Fleet with a slightly solemn expression.
During times of war, the Yang Household was indeed a good ally; however, once the war is over, the Purple Moon Yang Household will inevitably become a formidable enemy of the Mountain and River Hall.
In the World Interstice, desolation and vitality coexist; in the gray sky, rivers of faint white light drift and sway.
Many Cultivator were seeing this scene for the first time stared curiously, completely unaware of the terrifying war they were about to face.
Yang Tianyou opened his eyes wide, and a white-gold light suddenly appeared. The space seemed to shrink rapidly in his eyes, and a tall Realm Gate came into view.
Bang!!
Crimson red feet, resembling horse hooves, stomped on the ground, splashing out streaks of scorching lava.
Dark red skin, mottled and irregular fire patterns, upward-curving Lava peaks, crimson eyes like Volcano craters, and nostrils spewing black smoke.
"The Fire-Bathing Tribe..." Yang Tianyou's expression darkened slightly; these guys were not easy to deal with.
Stubborn, headstrong, hot-tempered, never learns from mistakes, a fighting maniac...
"This won't be easy!" After a sigh, Yang Tianyou quickly recovered. He would meet force with force and water with water. Since they had met, he would fight to the death.
