The End of the Demon Abyss
Although he possessed the Azure Abyss Sword, with only a Pure Yang Immortal Sword, he was at most a pawn. To interfere in a battle of Primordial Spirit would risk his own demise, let alone influence the course of the war.
This powerlessness left Chen Nianzhi speechless, but the sword intent within his heart grew ever sharper.
"Do your best."
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, after everyone had rested and the treasure ship was filled with Spiritual Qi, it headed towards the designated territory.
Once the eighteen War Treasure Ship had regrouped, True Lord Haoran ordered everyone to continue their journey to the Far Sea Cultivation World.
The Eastern Sea Cultivation World is vast and its territory is much larger than that of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World. The Treasure Ship flew towards the Far Sea Cultivation World for more than five years before finally approaching the edge of the Far Sea Cultivation World.
"Three million miles ahead lies the outer edge of the Demon Abyss, where we will gather with our fellow Daoists from the Three Vein Ancient Region."
In the main hall that day, True Lord Haoran gathered with everyone, looking at the map and talking.
The battle against the Demon Abyss is of paramount importance. Almost no demons have dared to block their path at this time. However, as they get closer to the battlefield, everyone feels an increasing sense of solemnity.
The Treasure Ship continued its journey and soon arrived at the outer edge of the Demon Abyss. Even though they were separated by tens of millions of miles, they could still see a Heaven Scar at the edge of the world.
It was a hideous black scar, stretching for countless miles, with streams of black demonic energy constantly seeping along it, corroding this mark on heaven and earth.
Around that chasm of heaven and earth, one can vaguely see numerous Spirit Isle scattered like stars, surrounding it.
"What is that?"
Ya Ya was quite surprised to see such a sight for the first time.
That's Celestial Stars Isles.
The Heavenly Hut Sect began to recount the story of Celestial Stars Isles.
This Celestial Stars Isles is composed of 36,000 Spirit Isle, which were cultivated by Emperor Jiang before he became an immortal by mobilizing the power of the entire Purple Yin Realm.
These Spirit Isle are at least Tier 4 Spirit Isle, and there are as many as 365 Tier 5 Spirit Isle.
Moreover, Emperor Jiang seized the essence of the sun and moon, and together with dozens of Human Race Dao Lord from the Purple Yin Realm, they guided the power of the Taiyin to descend, and advanced two Ancestral Vein at the core of the Celestial Stars Isles.
They also transplanted the Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, the ' Lesser Fusang Tree ' and the ' Moon Spirit Divine Tree ', which nurtured Spirit Vein of the Tier 6 Primordial Spirit realm for the two Spirit Isle.
These 30,000-plus Spirit Isle are merely the cores of the array, capable of activating the Celestial Stars Grand Formation, which is said to be unbreakable by anyone but celestial beings and demons from the Nine Heavens.
If the Outer Realm Demons want to invade the Purple Yin Realm, they must break through the formation of Celestial Stars Isles. Otherwise, even if a small number manage to sneak into the Purple Yin Realm through the gaps, they will not pose a significant threat to the Human Race.
Just as everyone was awestruck by the sight before them, a streak of light flew over from the distant starry sky, calling out from afar, "Are you fellow Daoists from the Three Vein Ancient Region?"
"Exactly."
True Lord Haoran spoke, responding calmly.
The visitor was delighted upon hearing this, and then smiled and said, "You've come at the right time; the Holy Emperor is waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, the True Lord immediately flew out of the treasure ship and headed towards a magnificent Spirit Isle. In the grand hall there, Chen Nianzhi saw Sacred Lord Dao Yan he had not seen for many years.
Ji Daoyan glanced at Chen Nianzhi, nodded slightly, and then said, "I still need to go to Mars Island to oversee things. Now that everyone is almost here, let's make the arrangements first."
"I will obey the Holy Ruler's command."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed a solemn expression.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ji Daoyan revealed a series of dazzling illusory maps, saying, "This Celestial Stars Grand Formation is composed of more than 30,000 Spirit Isle, among which there are 365 key Tier 5 Spirit Isle."
"These Spirit Isle are further divided into several regions, including the Three Enclosures, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the Five Luminaries."
As Ji Daoyan explained, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood the structure of the Celestial Stars Grand Formation.
Within this Celestial Stars Grand Formation, the three enclosures are the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, the Supreme Palace Enclosure, and the Celestial Market Enclosure, and the twenty-eight constellations correspond to the Four Directions Star Palace the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon at different times.
The Five Luminaries correspond to the five planets: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Venus.
The various Spirit Isle correspond to the Nine-Heavens Stars, while the Three Enclosures and Five Luminaries Spirit Isle are the key array points, both personally guarded by the Primordial Spirit Clan and a large number of Nascent Soul Immortal Clan members. On the Sun-Moon Twin Islands, there are also several Dao Lord on duty year-round.
Ji Daoyan was going to guard the crucial Firefly Island. Mars Island was just an island, and the Ji Clan's power was sufficient to guard it alone.
Without the Ji Clan as their protector, the army of the Three Vein Ancient Region would naturally be unable to shoulder the great responsibility of guarding the Three Enclosures, and would most likely only be able to guard the slightly less important Four Directions Star Palace.
Indeed, this is the case. The core Tier 6 Sun-Moon Twin Islands are managed by people from the Central Ancestral Domain, while the most crucial of the Three Enclosures, the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, is guarded by the Star Palace, along with people from the Seven-Star Ancient Region and the Star Lake Ancient Region.
The Long River Holy Land, along with the people of the Long River Ancient Domain, guarded the Supreme Palace Enclosure. As for the Three Vein Ancient Region, it was naturally the Four Directions Star Palace Spirit Isle.
As expected, after Ji Daoyan explained the situation, he said, "Our Three Vein Ancient Region is responsible for the Vermilion Bird Star Palace."
"I have already assigned you the territories to guard; go and garrison them."
Ji Daoyan spoke, he handed a Jade Slip slip to everyone.
Chen Nianzhi glanced at the Jade Slip, and her brows furrowed slightly.
The Vermilion Bird Sky has forty-seven main stars, which correspond to forty-seven Tier 5 Spirit Isle, and are divided into seven regions: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Chariot.
Also known as the Seven Constellations: Well Wood Wolf, Ghost Metal Sheep, Willow Earth Roe Deer, Star-Sun Horse Region, Extended Net Moon Deer, Wings Fire Snake, and Chariot Water Earthworm.
Each of these seven territories has several Tier 5 Spirit Isle, and each Tier 5 Spirit Isle requires one or even several powerful immortal clans to govern it.
Among them, Flying Feather Pavilion will be in charge of the Well Domain, Profound Heaven Sect will be mainly in charge of the Ghost Domain, Profound Void Daoist Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm will be in charge of Zhang Moon-Deer Region, Sea-Calming Daoist will mainly preside over the Wings Fire Snake Domain.
Chen Nianzhi and her fellow Daoists were in the Star Domain, also known as the Star-Moon-Horse Region, which had a total of seven Tier 5 Spirit Isle as its base.
The Chen Clan's strength alone was insufficient to guard these seven Spirit Isle, so Ji Daoyan simply assigned True Lord Haoran and other fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Hut Sect to this location.
Within this Star Moon Horse region, there are a total of thirty-eight True Lord guarding the area. Although this is fewer than the number of people from other regions, it includes the True Lord Haoran and several Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, making its strength quite formidable.
After Ji Daoyan left, True Lord Haoran gathered everyone together and said, "I am in charge of overseeing the overall situation in the star field. Let's discuss the candidates for guarding the various Spirit Isle."
