On the tenth day after entering Chess Sea, more than a hundred cultivators had gathered on Chess Island. The enormous island stretched beyond the limits of sight.
By the fifteenth day, their numbers had once swelled to two hundred.
This explosive growth was mainly because each surviving batch of Vast Sky Alliance cultivators now numbered quite a few—at least a dozen, and as many as thirty or forty.
As their numbers grew, so did their strength.
But accordingly, the fighting became even fiercer. Their side was gathering, and so was Myriad Demon Ridge. The small-scale skirmishes of a few people against a few people from the beginning were nowhere to be seen. Now, once battle began, the sky was filled with the streaking light of spells and Controlled Artifacts.
Based on the information Lu Ye currently possessed, the merging of Chess Islands generally lasted around eighteen to twenty days. During that period, the Chess Islands scattered throughout Chess Sea would slowly converge into one enormous continent.
Once that continent formed, rare treasures seldom seen in the outside world would appear. They might originate from those Chess Islands no one had ever set foot upon.
After the continent formed, it would remain for roughly ten days before shattering apart once more into countless Chess Islands. At that point, the Spirit Stream Garrison War would end, and the surviving cultivators would be sent back to their respective sects' Camps.
Fifteen days had already passed. In a few more days, the merging between the Chess Islands would enter its final phase. Once the continent formed, the confrontation between the cultivators of the two major camps would grow even more intense. Right now, everyone could only wait passively, but once the Chess Islands completed their merge, they would be able to take the initiative.
