Troops March on the East Sea

Therefore, each of the great calamities of the Abyssal Demon Calamity, even considering only the ten years spent traveling, resting, and fighting, would take at least thirty years.

If the Outer Realm Demon God are willing to pay any price to keep the Demon Abyss Heavenscar open for decades, then this war will last for more than sixty years.

For cultivators at the Qi Refining realm and Foundation Establishment stages, how many sixty-year periods does one have in a lifetime?

Therefore, for the cultivators present who were parting ways, if they could not advance their cultivation further during the calamity, then this parting would be a final farewell.

Chen Xianye was unwilling to discuss this topic and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I heard you had quite a bit of fortuitous opportunity, comprehending a Great Divine Ability and unexpectedly obtaining a Spirit Treasure."

"Why don't you join forces with me, Zhan, and try to kill a Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon?"

"Oh?" Mingxin Mingxin's eyes flickered slightly, but after a long while, he shook his head and smiled wryly, "You, even when asking for help, are so self-righteous."

"..."

At the summit of Spirit Mountain, Chen Nianzhi calmly watched the cultivators boarding the ship, then picked up an account book and glanced at it.

The ledger records the troops and supplies mobilized by the Chen Clan family this time.

In this battle, the Chen Clan mobilized almost their entire force, recruiting a total of 1.2 million cultivators, stockpiling over 1.3 billion Spirit Stone, and various supplies such as Spirit Rice, spirit talismans, Law Treasure, and array flags worth over 1 billion Spirit Stone.

Besides the Nascent Soul True Lord, there were a total of 374 Golden Core realm cultivators. Of these 373, 103 were Golden Core realm cultivators from the Chen Clan family itself.

Upon careful calculation, it has been more than three hundred years since the Chen Clan was promoted to the Nascent Soul Clan.

The Chen Clan has developed rapidly in recent years. Back when they fought a bloody battle with the Purple Jade Demon Emperor in the Vast Sea, the Chen Clan only had about thirty Golden Core realm cultivators.

Now, more than two hundred years later, the Chen Clan has grown to 129 Golden Core True Person, a number that has increased several times over.

However, the Chen Clan's rise to prominence has been relatively recent. Apart from a handful of elders like Chen Xianye, most of the others have risen to prominence within the last two or three hundred years, with the oldest being only a little over five hundred years old.

They weren't as close to Chen Nianzhi as the original Golden Core realm, so Chen Nianzhi didn't provide the same support he gave to the Old Clan Leader and Chen Xianyan. As a result, their cultivation progressed slower than the older generation.

Currently, most of them are at the Golden Core Middle Stage, with few having just broken through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer realm, and only a handful at the Golden Core Eighth Layer. The fastest among them is probably still about one or two 60-year cycles away from the threshold of the Demonic Path Nascent Soul realm.

After quickly reviewing the ledgers, Chen Nianzhi looked at Chen Qinghao beside her and asked, "How's the situation on the Vast Sea side?"

Chen Qinghao said, "Almost everyone has boarded the ship; only the last group can assemble within three days."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, then looked up at the distant sky, where more than a dozen Tier 4 Treasure Ship were flying towards Azure Lotus Isle in the boundless void.

The Treasure Ship that arrived was from the Yan Kingdom. After Treasure Ship, Yan Ziji went straight to the group and said, "I'll have to hitch a ride with you all for this battle against the Demon Abyss. Thank you for your help."

There's no need for such formalities between us.

Jiang Linglong said with a smile that Yan Ziji did not have Tier 5 War Treasure Ship and could not launch a war that spanned hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, so she could only take their Treasure Ship with her.

In fact, not only Yan Ziji, but also Daoist Zixu, Lingxu Fairy, and Ancestor Mo, had all spoken with Chen Nianzhi about boarding the Chen Clan's Treasure Ship to fight at the end of the Demon Abyss.

With the addition of cultivators from these lineages, the Chen Clan's War Treasure Ship will carry a full two million cultivators to fight in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

Fortunately, the Chen Clan also forged the Golden Rhinoceros Treasure Ship; otherwise, the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship alone wouldn't have been able to hold so many people. In that case, they would have had to use the War Treasure Ship of the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Alliance, which wouldn't be as convenient as using Treasure Ship owned by an acquaintance.

Chen Nianzhi waited for half a month until everyone boarded the Treasure Ship and all the Nascent Soul True Lord gathered before launching the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship to head towards the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

They did not set out alone for this battle. In addition to the few people from Chen Nianzhi's lineage, more than a dozen Nascent Soul forces from nearby Celestial Star Sect, Heavenly Hut Sect, and even Wild Continent would gather in the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

Upon arriving at the Heaven's Spine Mountains, Chen Nianzhi discovered that more than a dozen Tier 5 War Treasure Ship had gathered at the summit, mostly from various Nascent Soul factions.

The main reason why so many forces have gathered at Haoran Peak is because of the existence of True Lord Haoran.

Now, the Ji Clan has long since gone to the Eastern Sea Cultivation World to take charge of the overall situation. As one of the top experts of the Three Vein Ancient Region, True Lord Haoran is naturally the core of more than a dozen surrounding continents.

After greeting the various True Lord, Chen Nianzhi found True Lord Haoran.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Upon his arrival, True Lord Haoran handed a letter to Chen Nianzhi.

Chen Nianzhi opened the letter and immediately understood. It was an order from the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Alliance, urging True Lord Haoran to lead his army to the Eastern Sea Cultivation World as soon as possible.

Setting down the letter, Chen Nianzhi asked, "Now that the army is assembled, it's certainly time to consider setting off."

"Um."

True Lord Haoran nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Outer Realm Demons are no small matter. In this great battle, you should stay behind me as much as possible, and remember not to send troops out on your own."

"Understood."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, a look of seriousness on her face.

About half a month later, the numerous Treasure Ship made their final resupply at the Heaven's Spine Mountains Heaven's Spine Mountains, using the Spiritual Qi of the mountains to fill the Treasure Ship with energy before flying towards the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World.

A total of eighteen War Treasure Ship flew towards the Eastern Sea Cultivation World with an incomparably magnificent aura.

Tier 5 War Treasure Ship can travel a million miles in a single day. This clan-protecting weapon is unparalleled in its power, and it is invincible. Even when it encounters the territory of demons, it simply crosses over it, and no demon dares to resist it.

After flying for more than two years, the group finally crossed the Star Lake Ancient Region and arrived at the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

On this day, the Treasure Ship flew above the East Sea, and a group of True Lord gathered together, looking anxiously at the endless ocean in the distance.

This was Chen Changxuan's first time in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to the vastness of the place. He couldn't help but ask, "How much further until we reach the Demon Abyss?"

Chen Nianzhi had been here once before, and shook her head, saying, "It's still a long way off. We've just arrived at the Near Sea Cultivation World; we're still hundreds of millions of miles away from the Far Sea."

"And the Demon Abyss is located at the very edge of the Far Sea Cultivation World; it would probably take several years to reach it."

"So far?"

Ya Ya was somewhat surprised and frowned, saying, "The Spiritual Qi stored on the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship is running low. If this continues, it might not last much longer."

"After some time, I'll find a place to replenish my Spiritual Qi."

As Chen Nianzhi was saying this, Qingling True Lord walked over.

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, Qingling True Lord smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, our master invites you."
