War Rekindled
The East Hua Cultivation World, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
In a Quiet Manor, Mo Wuya sat beside a blue stone table, while Qi Kexin reported to him.
"The Barbarian Race have been quite well-behaved these past few years, but recently a group of Evil Cultivator has emerged. The Zhou Clan the Western Desert, the Shangguan Clan of the Southern Border, the Barbarian Race tribes, and the Flower-Moving Palace of the North Sea have all been wiped out by an unknown force, possibly by cultivators from the Heaven Origin Race."
Qi Kexin said.
"Possibly? Were there long intervals between the destruction of these forces? Did no Spirit Transformation cultivators perish?"
Mo Wuya asked in confusion.
"Whether it's a few years or more, these forces all have one thing in common: they have a long history, deep foundations, and strong strength. None of their Spirit Transformation cultivators have perished. They seem to operate like Evil Cultivator cultivators, specializing in robbing others."
Qi Kexin reported the facts truthfully.
"Not a single one survived?"
Mo Wuya pressed for an answer.
"No, logically speaking, even if multiple Nascent Soul Cultivator joined forces to attack the Zhou Clan, Shangguan Clan, Flower-Moving Palace, and other forces, even if they could annihilate them all, they would still have a chance to send a message! If they couldn't send a message, they could still escape! Either the murderer has a spiritual Spirit Treasure of the divine soul, or the murderer is Spirit Transformation cultivator."
Qi Kexin guessed.
"Spirit Transformation cultivators! In recent years there have been..."
Before Mo Wuya could finish speaking, his brows furrowed, and with a flick of his right hand, a jade Jade Talisman shimmering with a blue light appeared in his palm.
With a "crack," the cyan Jade Talisman shattered.
"Daoist Wang from Heaven Beast Island has been killed!"
Mo Wuya frowned and said.
A fifth-tier talisman maker crafted a batch of Soul-Lodging Jade Talisman, which were distributed among the Spirit Transformation cultivators participating in the Realm War.
Once Spirit Transformation cultivator dies and their cultivation dissipates, the Soul-Lodging Jade Pendant will shatter, since communication is inconvenient and often there isn't enough time to send a message.
"What! Senior Wang of Heaven Beast Island has been killed?"
Qi Kexin exclaimed in surprise.
"Give the order to disperse the disciples to various locations. Also, immediately send someone to inform the Spirit Control Sect to break up their forces and preserve their strength. Pass the order on to other Human Race forces as well."
Mo Wuya gave the instructions.
They had been preparing for this day for a long time, and the creation of the Soul-Lodging Jade Talisman was precisely to prevent this.
"Yes, Your disciple obeys."
Qi Kexin agreed and left to carry out the order.
The order was quickly relayed, and the major forces in the East Hua Cultivation World Rogue Person, breaking up into smaller groups.
······
Heaven Origin Realm, Three Saints City.
Spirit Control Garden, Alchemy Room.
Shen Long sat cross-legged on a Red Prayer Mat, his eyes fixed on the Dry Sun Cauldron in front of him, his expression solemn.
After a while, Shen Long put away the Green Lotus True Flame.
He stood up, opened the lid of the cauldron, and went to look inside. There were twelve or fourteen purple pills inside.
He picked up a purple pill between two fingers. The pill was plump, bright in color, and emitted a unique fragrance.
The fifth-tier elixir, Purple Marrow Essence-Lingering Pill, has excellent healing effects; its main ingredient is Purple Marrow Essence-Lingering Fruit.
The Pill Formula came from the True Monarch Purple Sun, and the main ingredients came from the Treasure Vault of the Qinglang Mountain Range.
On the front lines, fifth-grade healing pills are very precious. Some Spirit Transformation cultivators who are seriously injured and have to leave the battlefield will likely die without healing pills, or at best, need to recuperate for hundreds of years.
"It's finally been refined."
Shen Long muttered to himself, a look of delight on his face.
He took out a Cyan Gourd and put in twenty-four Purple Marrow Essence-Lingering Pill.
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of him.
Shen Long flicked his two fingers, and a beam of red light shot out, striking the Sound Transmission Talisman.
With a "whoosh," the Sound Transmission Talisman spontaneously combusted, Qian Dafu's voice rang out. "Grandmaster Shen, Senior Lin requests your presence to discuss the war."
"Is another fight about to break out?"
Shen Long muttered to himself.
It's been over a year since the last war, and I didn't expect it to start again so soon.
He walked out of the Alchemy Room and came to the Three Saints Hall, where Lin Xiang and more than a dozen other Spirit Transformation cultivators were present.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why have you called us to a meeting again? What major event has occurred this time?"
Li Wenbin asked.
"According to reliable sources, the Golden Scale Race of the Golden Glaze Realm has sent reinforcements to the Heaven Origin Race. The exact number is unknown. We've called you here for two reasons: first, to discuss countermeasures, and second, to see if any of you know anything about the Golden Scale Race. Knowing your enemy is the key to victory."
Lin Xiang spoke slowly.
"The Golden Scale Race is supporting the Heaven Origin Race? We people of the Jade Universe Realm have fought against Golden Scale Race cultivators, but that was tens of thousands of years ago."
Li Wenbin frowned and said.
"The Golden Scale Race has strong defenses. Their innate divine Divine Ability is the Golden Scale Battle Armor. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the defense. It is said that Golden Scale Race cultivator in the Spirit Transmutation Realm stage can withstand a Heaven-Reaching Divine Ability Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure."
Liu Yuyun said.
"To withstand Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure head-on? Surely Golden Scale Race cultivator's physical body isn't comparable to a fifth-tier Demon Beast!"
Qi Xiao frowned and said.
"No, it's just defense. But even that alone is terrifying. To be able to withstand Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure with one's innate divine Divine Ability is something that, among all the fellow Daoists present, I estimate only Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Sun could accomplish."
Liu Yuyun said.
"Even Golden Scale Race cultivators must have weaknesses!"
"I asked the Green Lotus Sword Venerable."
Liu Yuyun nodded and said, "Of course there are. Attack their eyes, and secondly, their souls. However, the Golden Scale Race knows how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. They usually refine their bodies. When facing Golden Scale Race cultivators, don't let them get close."
"Doesn't this mean that the Golden Scale Race has more Body Cultivator, and besides their souls, they have even more obvious weaknesses?"
A burly Yellow-Shirted Big Man asked in a loud voice.
Sun Shan, at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation, is Spirit Controller who can transform into a fifth-tier Demon Bear to attack enemies and withstand Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure.
"Their use of the Golden Scale Battle Armor consumes a lot of Law Power, and the longer it lasts, the more Law Power they consume. In other words, if you encounter Golden Scale Race cultivators, the longer you can wear them down, the greater your chances of winning."
Liu Yuyun said.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, besides the Golden Scale Race, are there other alien races supporting the Heaven Origin Race?"
Huang Ziqi asked.
"We haven't heard anything about it yet. Our previous strategy was correct; we didn't choose to expand and concentrated our forces in the Three Saints City. Even if they attack, we won't be afraid."
Lin Xiang said.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, have you found a new Spatial Node leading to the Green Plum Realm?"
Li Wenbin frowned and asked.
As long as their supply lines are not cut off, they can send troops to support the front lines.
"Found it. We've reorganized our forces and reopened the Interface Passage. However, this matter must not be spread. It's enough that we know about it. If the Heaven Origin Race finds out, it will be troublesome."
Lin Xiang said.
"Excellent! Then send people back to the Jade Universe Realm and the Gan Yang Realm to request reinforcements, and send more Spirit Transformation cultivators to support us. With just the few of us, our chances of winning are slim."
Li Wenbin suggested.
"Yes! We need more reinforcements from the rear."
The Green Lotus Sword Venerable wholeheartedly agreed.
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "Let's wait until Fellow Daoist Xu opens the Interface Passage. Traveling back and forth isn't very convenient right now; we need to defend the Three Saints City..."
Before he could finish speaking, a rapid alarm sounded, echoing throughout the entire Three Saints City.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
A loud male voice came from outside.
"They've attacked. Humph, looks like they really haven't learned their lesson. They even dare to attack first."
Qin Yue's expression turned cold, her face filled with murderous intent.
"Let's go out and meet them! Everyone be careful."
Lin Xiang said.
They all left the Three Saints City and came to the city wall.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered outside the city, including sixteen Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, Yin Jie and Tuo Shan among them.
"Four Spirit Transmutation Realm Golden Scale Race cultivators!"
The Green Lotus Sword Venerable frowned.
"You Human Race are courting death, daring to invade the Heaven Origin Realm. Our Golden Scale Race cannot stand idly by."
Tuo Shan's voice was loud and clear.
He led his army to support the Heaven Origin Race, intending to achieve some initial success so that he could demand more cultivation resources from Heaven Origin Race.
