They're Here, the Decisive Battle Begins!
Qing Province, in the Southern Region.
Xuanqing Sect.
Inside the Council Hall, Yan Changkong, his face grave, glanced at the people in the hall and said:
"Great Elder, have I clearly explained all my instructions?"
Great Elder Chen Xiu nodded and said, "It's all explained!"
"Good!"
"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately, even if we can't play a significant role!"
Yan Changkong spoke, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Even a one-for-one trade is a win."
News from Heavenly Mist Domain has already reached back.
The gathering of the Jiang Clan and other powerful forces was already common knowledge, and the Xuanqing Sect received the news immediately.
There were only four people in the Council Hall.
Sect Master Yan Changkong, Great Elder Chen Xiu, Supreme Elder Fang Chen, and Fifth Elder Dong Kun.
Although the Xuanqing Sect has developed rapidly in recent years.
However, top-tier cultivators are still extremely scarce; they could only muster four cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm.
This is still due to the recent large amount of resources allocated to it.
In addition, there's the cultivation technique left behind by Lin Feng...
Yan Changkong knew that this level of decisive battle was not about having more people.
Cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.
No matter how many go, they'll just be cannon fodder; no matter how many go, they won't make any waves.
Not to mention affecting the course of the battle.
"Walk!"
Yan Changkong took a deep breath; he had already made arrangements for his funeral.
No more hesitation.
He took the lead and walked out of the main hall, but after taking only a few steps, he suddenly trembled and staggered.
A feeling of weakness welled up inside me.
"Immortal Bewilderment Powder!"
Yan Changkong suddenly looked at the Fifth Elder Dong Kun, who was the only one skilled in using poison, and the Immortal Bewilderment Powder was a unique poison he had concocted.
Dong Kun was a thin, old man who was not good with words. When faced with his questioning gaze, his eyes flickered.
Great Elder Chen Xiu stepped forward and said earnestly, "Sect Master, let's go to this battle!"
"But you must stay!"
Chen Xiu said solemnly, "If we die, we die, but you are the hope of the sect. Even without us, the sect will be fine."
"Without you, the sect's millennium plan is nothing but a pipe dream. Even if we replace it with a sect leader of higher cultivation, it won't make a difference!"
The Supreme Elder Fang Chen nodded and said, "Chang Kong, you may stay!"
Dong Kun also said, "That's what I meant too!"
A moment later.
The Great Elder and the others settled Yan Changkong in the main hall and then turned to leave.
"Walk!"
"Let's go and meet these so-called top powers, haha, it's been a long time since I've felt this kind of adrenaline-pumping excitement."
Chen Xiu's cheerful voice rang out.
Three figures flew into the sky, heading towards the location of the Heavenly Mist Domain.
Heavenly Mist Domain.
Various major forces have arrived one after another, causing a stir throughout the world.
Everyone knows that this great battle will directly affect the entire landscape of the Cultivation World.
The force led by the Jiang Clan is very likely backed by the Immortal Court!
On the other side, behind the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Liyue Immortal Dynasty, lies the invincible man of our time.
The Immortal Great Emperor!
In the past two days, news of the discovery of the final resting place of the Immortal Great Emperor in the Heavenly Mist Domain has spread far and wide.
You can't hide fire with paper.
Moreover, this time, neither side is hiding their true intentions; both are prepared for a fair and square fight to the death.
For forces like the Jiang Clan, as long as they defeat the Immortal Great Emperor, they will be invincible in the world.
There's no need to hide it anymore.
As time goes by, even the most sordid deeds will fade away.
As for the forces that follow Lin Feng...
The aim is also to use this highly anticipated battle to awaken the world and force those who are watching to no longer remain silent.
There will always be some people who have to stand up.
Destroy the evil pioneers!
Now!
Within the ancient Primordial Mountain Range, an area spanning a thousand miles has been occupied by various powerful forces.
The two sides did not immediately engage in combat.
In a contest of this caliber, how can one act recklessly? Even the slightest mistake could be fatal.
No one dared to make a rash move.
The two factions formed two arc-shaped semicircles around the 'Secret Realm Space,' facing each other from north to south.
Then we wait for the right opportunity to discuss the battle plan.
The Primordial Mountain Range are large enough that there are no other sects within a thousand miles, so they will not affect other forces in the Heavenly Mist Domain.
It is an ideal battleground.
It's as if it were fate, a predetermined Heavenly Will!
Strictly speaking, the Jiang Clan and other forces need to prepare how to attack and break through layers of defense.
Ye Qingge, Yuan Ruoyu, and the others were thinking about how to defend themselves.
As long as Lin Feng's long slumber remains undisturbed and he can emerge from seclusion smoothly, that's fine. But if he's attacked and forced into the secret realm...
The consequences are unpredictable.
The wind is quite noisy today.
On an enormous, luxurious flying ship, Jiang Wuji and dozens of other figures gathered together.
They are all among the eighteen major forces under the command of the Venerable Heavenly Punishment.
One by one, the figures revealed their true forms; at this point, there was no need for pretense anymore.
Their faces ranged in age from young to old, but all possessed extraordinary bearing.
What are they waiting for...?
A moment later, the sky suddenly darkened, and a thin, blood-red line split the sky in two.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes, and a huge eyeball appeared.
A crimson vortex, unfathomable, appeared in the pupil, from which the figure of the Venerable Heavenly Punishment emerged.
"Hehehe..."
The Venerable Heavenly Punishment landed on the flying boat, a smug smile on his face, and looked at the crowd, saying:
"It's been verified; it is indeed a seal placed by the Immortal Great Emperor!"
"No one else in the entire world could set up such a powerful sealing formation except him."
Although Jiang Wuji and the others were somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help but get excited.
If that's the case...
Lin Feng is most likely still in a deep slumber, which is when he is most vulnerable. If he were to break through the formation and storm in now...
This is something they never even dared to dream of!
The Venerable Heavenly Punishment, wearing a mask, fixed his gaze on Jiang Wuji and praised him:
"No other choice, you've done a great job this time!"
"How did you come up with the idea of deliberately using this method of warfare to search for the Immortal Great Emperor?"
Jiang Wuji looked up and said, "This subordinate just had a sudden thought. How could the Immortal Great Emperor, who is so powerful, possibly have set up a restriction that divine sense could detect?"
So he instructed his subordinates to find another way.
"I never expected that we would actually find it by sheer luck, haha. I want to apologize to Old Ancestor Hua and Brother Gu here. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to notify them."
The Hua Clan Ancestor and Gu Baihong looked at each other in bewilderment.
The way they looked at Jiang Wuji changed. Influenced by the Diary, they had initially thought Jiang Wuji was a fool.
Who would have thought he could come up with such a scheme?
But only in this way can Chu Jiang's unusual behavior be explained.
"It's alright!"
The Venerable Heavenly Punishment spoke calmly, then looked at Jiang Wuji and asked seriously:
"If you were to command this battle, would you be confident in your abilities?"
Jiang Wuji, and he said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, everything is under control!"
"Good!"
The Venerable Heavenly Punishment looked at the others and instructed, "From this moment on, you will all obey Wuji's arrangements!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although the others were still somewhat uneasy, at this moment, no one dared to stand up and refute the Venerable Heavenly Punishment.
On the other side.
High above, a colorful cloud drifted by, and within it stood a magnificent building, resembling a celestial palace.
It was named Jade Pool Palace.
At this moment, various forces have gathered together, and the atmosphere is somewhat solemn.
The Immortal Great Emperor has gone into seclusion and is now in eternal slumber.
Yuan Ruoyu is, so far, the only confirmed Daoist partner mentioned in the published Diary.
Of all the major powers, she naturally took the lead.
Ye Qingge and Great Emperor Zhitong were also present, discussing how to deal with the situation.
"Ye Xi hasn't shown up yet?"
The Pei Clan Ancestor suddenly asked, "As the personal disciple of the Immortal Great Emperor, Ye Xi's strength is evident to all."
His presence always makes people feel more at ease.
Yuan Ruoyu shook her head and said, "Ye Xi is not a reckless person. There must be a reason why he hasn't shown himself yet!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
Ye Qingge frowned and glanced around.
I have some doubts.
It's understandable that Ye Xi didn't appear, but why Qingdai also missing?
She knew Qingdai best; she was definitely not someone who clung to life or feared death.
She hadn't appeared yet, which made Ye Qingge worry that something might have happened to her.
At this moment, Yuan Ruoyu pointed her finger, and the array in the main hall was activated. Countless rays of light converged to form a light screen map.
The map shows the distribution of the two opposing sides.
The location and the corresponding faction were both marked.
The forces of the two camps formed an arc, surrounding the place where Lin Feng rested, thus restraining each other.
"Look, everyone!"
Yuan Ruoyu's expression turned serious as she looked at the map on the light screen and said, "This is our current location and branch. All the henchmen under the Venerable Heavenly Punishment, the Dao Destroyer, and the Jiang Clan have come out in full force!"
"The other great venerable ones have not yet shown themselves."
"Overall, there is still a gap in our apparent combat strength!"
Yuan Ruoyu analyzed, "But we are on the defensive!"
"As long as we build defensive lines and set up formations according to the terrain, it won't be so easy for the enemy to break through!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded; it seemed that this was the only way at the moment.
As for when Lin Feng will wake up...
Even they didn't know.
Ye Qingge suddenly said, "Since we've made the decision, let's execute it as soon as possible. The other party definitely won't wait long!"
"The sooner they attack, the more advantageous it will be for them!"
The Pei Clan Ancestor's eyes narrowed, and he nodded, saying, "That's right, we should act immediately!"
After discussing some specific details, the group quickly dispersed.
Time is of the essence!
Soon, defensive lines were established, and various large-scale killing formations were frantically deployed.
Two more days have quietly passed.
That day, a sudden roar came from the sky, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
Yuan Ruoyu, Ye Qingge, and the others flew out, their eyes fixed on the distance with solemn expressions.
Everyone was greatly shocked!
Terrifying auras surged into the sky, and the surging magical power instantly turned this area into a violent place.
Because that loud bang was the sound of an alarm.
The enemy has launched an attack!
Ye Qingge looked coldly into the distance. The sky quickly darkened, and countless figures swept in densely packed together.
Like a surging tide, it kept crashing in, seemingly about to completely engulf the place where they were!
Yuan Ruoyu took a deep breath and said with chilling killing intent, "The decisive battle begins now!"
"Kill them!"
