Nine Islands Meeting

The Immortal Palace Cultivator, Commander the Xuanzhe, are essentially ruthless Demonic Path Cultivator.

This was predetermined from the very beginning of the selection process for recruiting these Cultivator into the Immortal Palace.

Su Bai faces numerous difficulties in changing the Immortal Palace's image as a Demonic Path, unless he establishes his own independent sect.

The foundation of the Immortal Palace now rests on these Five Pulse Lords, who are these Demonic Path Cultivator. It is virtually impossible to completely change their nature.

Just like the Sect Force that were conquered by the Immortal Palace before, Crimson Flame Island was not spared and was turned into a living hell.

Not only the Crimson Flame Sect, but also all the second-rate minor sects and small cultivation Lineage on the island, as long as their Cultivator were above the Foundation Establishment, were exterminated by the Immortal Palace Cultivator.

However, unlike in the past, Immortal Palace has a new plan this time.

The Xuanzhe planned to move the center of the Immortal Palace to the South Sea, so he had five Immortal Palace Pulse Lord set up a pre-prepared Defense Formation on Crimson Flame Island, making the entire island their own Stronghold.

This Defense Formation was provided by Su Bai.

Meanwhile, the Qi Refining Cultivator below the Foundation Establishment on the island were Poisonous Gu by the Immortal Palace Cultivator and became Immortal Palace servants.

They were assigned to various Resource Point on the island: spirit fields, spirit medicine, Spirit Mine... The servants were responsible for the production of these resources, providing the Immortal Palace with a continuous stream of wealth and resources.

After everything was arranged, the five Pulse Lord of the Immortal Palace gathered in the main hall of the Crimson Flame Sect.

They stood beside the newly erected Ultra-long Distance Transmission Array, and after activating the Magic Array, they were reporting the details of the attack on Crimson Flame Island to the Xuanzhe.

After the Magic Array was activated, the figure of the Xuanzhe appeared and disappeared on the Communication Formation, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if he were thousands of miles away, yet also very close.

The five Pulse Lord respectfully surrounded the Communication Formation, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Xuanzhe is a true Nascent Soul Late Stage expert and the biggest boss in the Immortal Palace right now, the source of confidence behind the Five Pulse Lords.

"Well done." The Xuanzhe's voice came from the Communication Formation, carrying a hint of appreciation.

"However, although the nine islands in the South Sea are not on good terms with each other, they usually unite to resist foreign enemies when faced with external forces," Xuanzhe continued. He had clearly done thorough research on the forces in the South Sea South Sea before taking action.

"Therefore, the South Sea Nine Islands are likely to take swift action." Xuanzhe's tone became serious.

"Next, you must do everything in your power to defend Crimson Flame Island," he ordered.

Although Xuanzhe himself was far away in Qianyuan, he naturally had his own intelligence channels and was well-versed in all kinds of information about the South Sea.

Among these five Pulse Lord, the one from the Immortal Palace Wood has the most seniority.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the figure of the Xuanzhe on the Communication Formation, then said, "Immortal Envoy, the South Sea Nine Islands possess quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivator. If they really do mobilize, I fear that the five of us alone will be unable to withstand them..."

However, before Immortal Palace Wood could finish speaking, the illusory figure of the Xuanzhe on the Communication Formation nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of Immortal Palace Wood's concerns.

"Don't worry, I have already made preparations for this."

"The Yellow Springs Envoy has arrived in the South Sea; he will lend a helping hand at this crucial moment."

These words, like a stabilizing force, penetrated the spiritual world of the five people, giving a boost to the spirits of the five Immortal Palace Pulse Lord surrounding the Magic Array.

Their previously solemn expressions instantly relaxed, and a hint of anticipation flashed in their eyes.

Although the Immortal Palace Cultivator are powerful, not all of them can be like Su Bai, who, with his Peak Golden Core cultivation, can cross realms to kill Nascent Soul Cultivator.

With the addition of Nascent Soul Cultivator, the odds of winning this battle have undoubtedly increased significantly.

"During this period, your primary task is to defend Crimson Flame Island."

The Xuanzhe's voice came again, "As long as the South Sea side acknowledges that Crimson Flame Island belongs to the Immortal Palace, I will relocate the Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven here."

These words seemed to give the Immortal Envoy a shot of adrenaline, and excited expressions appeared on their faces.

What does the relocation of the Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven signify? That is the very foundation of the Immortal Palace! If it can be successfully moved to Crimson Flame Island, it means that the Immortal Palace will officially take control of this vast sea area in the South Sea, and this place will eventually become the territory of the Immortal Palace.

This is the first time in the history of the Immortal Palace that it has occupied a piece of land! A Cultivation World!

In the future, the cultivation resources that Immortal Palace Cultivator can obtain will naturally increase significantly.

The Five Pulse Lords all bowed and agreed.

The news that Crimson Flame Island had fallen into the hands of the Immortal Palace quickly spread throughout the Southern Sea Cultivation World.

After exchanging information, the South Sea Upper Nine Islands decided to meet and discuss Council Meeting on the Rock Island closest to Crimson Flame Island.

No Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared from the Immortal Palace Cultivator this time.

Therefore, those who came to Council Meeting were basically Golden Core Cultivator who could make decisions on each island.

For example, Lin Huasheng from Pill Island, Chen Shuo Thunder Cloud Palace on Thunder Island, Ye Yaoling from Moon Island...

They are all outstanding Golden Core Cultivator from their respective sects, comparable to or only slightly inferior to Immortal Palace Golden Core.

A dozen or so Golden Core Cultivator gathered in a Conference Hall on the Rock Island.

At the head of the conference hall sat a large, resolute-looking Cultivator, who was none other than Zhong Ming, the current Sect Master of the Rock Island Barren Rock Sect.

Zhong Ming's cultivation had reached the Late Golden Core. Although he was over two hundred years old, his appearance remained that of a robust man in his thirties, with the years leaving few traces on his face.

He was tall, over ten feet, with a bronze complexion and well-defined, powerful muscles—clearly characteristics of someone trained in Body Cultivator.

He sat there upright, like a mountain on Rock Island, giving people a sense of calm and unshakability.

Rock Island and Crimson Flame Island are adjacent and closest to each other, so the struggle between the Barren Rock Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect has always been the most intense.

The two sects were locked in a fierce struggle, neither willing to yield. In order to obtain intelligence on Crimson Flame Island, the Barren Rock Sect had planted many Spies on the Crimson Flame Island.

When the Immortal Palace Cultivator attacked Crimson Flame Island, these Spies quickly relayed the news back to Rock Island.

Zhong Ming learned of the fall of Crimson Flame Island to the Immortal Palace immediately.

Although the Barren Rock Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect are rivals, Zhong Ming naturally does not want to see Crimson Flame Island occupied by the Immortal Palace.

Compared to competing with the Crimson Flame Sect, the Demonic Path Cultivator being so close is far more terrifying. If the Immortal Palace were to gain a foothold on Crimson Flame Island, it would undoubtedly be a thorn in the side for the Barren Rock Sect, making them unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

Since the matter concerned the Demonic Path Force of the Immortal Palace, Rock Island immediately spread the news and took the lead in presiding over this Council Meeting.

At this moment, Zhong Ming looked around and, seeing that everyone had arrived, solemnly said, "First of all, I would like to sincerely thank everyone for your hard work and for traveling so far to my Rock Island for this Council Meeting. Here, Zhong Ming expresses his gratitude in advance."

After a brief pause, Zhong Ming changed the subject and continued, "Many of the Cultivator present are young talents, and they may not be very familiar with the power of the Immortal Palace. Therefore, I will first give a brief introduction."

"This Immortal Palace Demonic Path originated in the Qianyuan. Its members are powerful and possess astonishing Combat Power. They act with extreme arrogance and have a unique set of standards for selecting geniuses. Once they have their eye on a target, regardless of which sect that target belongs to, they will go directly to their door and take them away without any hesitation..."

"The Immortal Palace Cultivator do not engage in production; they only plunder the Sect Force. They are truly parasites in the Cultivation World."

"Previously, the Cultivator of the Immortal Palace would usually leave quickly after looting. But this time, after looting the Crimson Flame Sect, they did not leave as usual. Instead, they set up an array on Crimson Flame Island, seemingly intending to stay there for a long time."

Zhong Ming frowned deeply, then said, "This is unusual for the Discipline Inspection Commission. In my opinion, these demonic brats from the Immortal Palace are probably targeting more than just Crimson Flame Island this time; there's a conspiracy lurking behind the scenes."

"Furthermore, putting aside these doubts, Crimson Flame Island is one of the Southern Sea Nine Major Islands. How could we allow Demonic Path Cultivator to steal it so easily?"

"We, the South Sea Nine Islands, must join forces to drive the Cultivator of the Immortal Palace away from Crimson Flame Island!"
