The Eastern Sea's Situation

When Chen Nianzhi and the others boarded the Haoran Treasure Ship, they found that all the True Lord had gathered there one after another.

Seeing this, he understood that the reason True Lord Haoran had summoned them was probably to discuss some important matters.

As expected, after all thirty-eight True Lord had gathered, True Lord Haoran spoke up, "Everyone, we have traveled a long way over the past year, and the Spiritual Qi stored in the Treasure Ship is running low. It's time for us to rest."

Among the crowd present were several veteran True Lord who had experienced one or two Abyssal Demon Calamity.

For example, Heavenly Hut Sect Lu nodded and said, "That's how it should be, but where will we go to replenish and rest this time?"

"According to regulations, all Tier 5 Spirit Mountain in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World are obligated to replenish our Spiritual Qi."

True Lord Haoran said, but then added, "However, we have a total of eighteen War Treasure Ship, and a single Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein is simply not enough to fill the Treasure Ship -Essence-Gathering Formation on our ships."

"Therefore, I plan to arrange for you to rest and recuperate on three nearby Spirit Isle, and then we will regroup and set off in three months."

At this point, True Lord Haoran waved his hand and scattered a beam of spiritual light, revealing a map spanning tens of millions of miles in front of everyone.

Chen Nianzhi glanced around and discovered that one of the three Tier 5 Spirit Isle was Nine Rivers Island, and it was the closest to them.

He smiled slightly and said, "The owner of Nine Rivers Island is a good friend of mine. Let 'Chen Clan go to Nine Rivers Island to rest and recuperate this time."

"Alright."

Hearing him say that, no one had any objections.

Although there were more than a dozen Nascent Soul Immortals present, the Chen Clan family had seven True Lord, second only to the True Lord Haoran, and even stronger than the Heavenly Hut Sect. Their influence was far greater than that of ordinary Nascent Soul Immortals.

True Lord Haoran nodded and said, "This matter is settled then. Let us rest as soon as possible and regroup in three months."

The eighteen Treasure Ship dispersed, and Chen Nianzhi and the others headed towards Nine Rivers Island. The Treasure Ship traveled a million miles a day, and arrived at the shore of Nine Rivers Island in just three days.

As soon as the group arrived, Nine Rivers Daoist flew out of the Spirit Isle and said, "Fellow Daoists from the Eastern Wasteland have come from afar; you must be tired from your journey."

"Brother Nine Rivers, it's been many years. How have you been?"

After Chen Nianzhi stepped off the Treasure Ship, she smiled and cupped her hands in greeting to Nine Rivers Daoist.

"So it's Brother Guixu." Nine Rivers Daoist showed a look of surprise and delight, and said with some emotion, "It's only been a few hundred years since we last met, but I didn't expect that your cultivation has surpassed mine. I am truly ashamed."

"Fellow Daoist, do not be discouraged. If your physical body had not been destroyed back then, you might have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

Chen Nianzhi exchanged pleasantries with Nine Rivers Daoist and said that in the battle in the Solid Rock Sea back then, Nine Rivers Daoist was severely injured by the Divine Ability of the Blood God Lineage and was forced to abandon his physical body and enter the Nirvana Pool to reshape his Dao Body.

Now, more than three hundred years have passed, and Nine Rivers Daoist has only recently recovered his physical body, which can be said to have taken a considerable amount of time.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to comfort her. With the old Human Dao Nascent Soul..."

"Sigh, let's not talk about it."

Nine Rivers Daoist sighed, then composed himself and said, "I have prepared a banquet on the island today to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey. Please do not refuse."

The group arrived at Nine Rivers Island, where the Nine Rivers Daoist personally accompanied them. With all the True Lord gathered together, it was quite a grand gathering.

During the banquet, Chen Nianzhi, however, was preoccupied with the Abyssal Demon Calamity. He seized the opportunity to say, "We are newcomers and are not yet aware of the current situation in the East Sea. Fellow Daoist is an elder of the Eastern Sea Immortal Alliance, so you must know something about this calamity."

"We hope you can give us some pointers so we can be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Nine Rivers Daoist's expression turned somewhat solemn.

After a moment's hesitation, he said with a somewhat nervous expression, "This battle is perilous. I hope you will take care and act with caution, brother."

"If the situation is truly unavoidable, you must also have a backup plan."

As Nine Rivers Daoist recounted his story, Chen Nianzhi also revealed a somewhat solemn expression.

During the Abyssal Demon Calamity a thousand years ago, the Human Race lost several Primordial Spirit Dao Lord in a single battle, and countless cultivators below the Nascent Soul perished.

Fortunately, over the past thousand years, Ji Daoyan and Heavenly Pivot Fairy in the Eastern Wilderness have broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm one after another, and new Primordial Spirit Dao Lord have also been born in the Central Ancestral Domain and other places, which has made up for the vacancy of that year.

However, among the Nascent Primordial Spirit Dao Lord who perished a thousand years ago, Jiang Dangmo was a giant figure in the Late Primordial Spirit realm, which could not be compared to one or two newly Primordial Spirit. Therefore, the pressure on the Human Race in this battle was even greater than it was seven thousand years ago.

The Eastern Wilderness is in a slightly better position, having recovered much of its strength over the past millennium. However, the Eastern Sea Cultivation World suffered a devastating blow a thousand years ago, resulting in the loss of too many of Human Race's most promising talents.

After a thousand years of recuperation, the Nascent Soul True Lord in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World is only about a thousand, which is less than one-third of the strength of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World.

According to some of the higher- Primordial Spirit Dao Lord in the Purple Yin Realm, if necessary, they could even abandon the Eastern Sea Cultivation World to avoid suffering even greater losses in this battle.

After Nine Rivers Daoist finished speaking, Chen Nianzhi felt a mix of emotions.

To be fair, if the Chen Clan had given up on the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, they could have stored up their strength during this battle.

However, once the Outer Realm Demons establish a foothold in the Purple Yin Realm, and with the resources and supplies of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, the entire Eastern Wilderness will be facing the Outer Realm Demons for the next millennium.

The Three Vein Ancient Region is located on the outskirts of the Eastern Wilderness, separated from the Eastern Sea Cultivation World only by the Star Lake Ancient Region. By then, the Chen Clan will also be embroiled in a war that will last for over a thousand years.

The war between good and evil will be like a grinding mill, a bloody grinder. In the course of a war that lasts for thousands of years, countless True Lord will inevitably perish. Will Chen Nianzhi be able to protect those around her then?

Could this even trigger a rout, leading to the complete collapse of the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Realm, allowing the Outer Realm Demons to once again reach the Central Ancestral Domain?

Chen Nianzhi remained silent. He preferred to keep the enemy outside the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, so that the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World could have enough time to recuperate and the Chen Clan could have enough opportunities to grow.

Seeing Chen Nianzhi's expression, Nine Rivers Daoist understood his thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Brother, listen to my advice. The outcome of this battle is beyond our control. We can only do our best."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I understand now."

Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then sighed.

This level of war is a contest between the entire Purple Yin Realm and the Outer Realm Demon God, and it is not something that ordinary cultivators can interfere with.

Even the mighty Pure Yang Dao Lord and the Devil Ancestor were merely pawns, only able to influence the course of the battle to a certain extent, unable to completely determine the outcome.
