Guarding the Vermilion Bird Star Palace

Outside the main hall, Chen Nianzhi and more than thirty other True Lord gathered together to discuss the selection of people to guard the various territories.

Chen Nianzhi glanced at the seven Tier 5 Spirit Isle in the ' Star-Sun Horse Region ' region, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Among the Star-Sun Horse Region region, the main island Star-Sun Island, is Tier 5 Upper Grade Spirit Isle and one of the seven array eyes of the Vermilion Bird Star Palace Archipelago. It still needs heavy troops to guard it to ensure its safety."

True Lord Haoran nodded and then said, "I am responsible for guarding the entire Star-Sun Horse Region region; I cannot be confined to a single Spirit Isle."

"What do you think of the idea of Star-Sun Island being jointly managed by the Ji Continent, Vast Sea, and Heavenly Hut Continent?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred slightly. The thirty-eight True Lord present came from more than a dozen continents.

However, the most core power clearly comes from the three continents of the Ji Continent, the Vast Sea, and Heavenly Hut Continent.

Because of this battle, the Chen Clan sent seven True Lord, Heavenly Hut Continent also sent the Heavenly Hut Sect Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, and two True Lord.

Not to mention the five Nascent Soul True Lord: Yan Ziji, Ling Ji, Lingxu Fairy, Ancestor Mo, and Qiu Daoyi.

It can be said that this strength is extremely formidable, already accounting for 70% of the troops present.

However, as the core of the array, Star-Sun Island holds a far greater strategic position than the other Spirit Isle, and it does indeed require heavy defense.

Upon realizing this, everyone nodded, and the Celestial Star Sect Master said, "In that case, our Celestial Star Sect will take charge of guarding a Tier 5 Spirit Isle."

"We from the Wild Continent will be responsible for guarding the secondary array core."

The Heavenly Desolation Sect from the Wild Continent spoke up, saying that as a major continent among the Three Vein Ancient Region, Wild Continent has three Nascent Soul clans and immortal sects, namely the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan.

The Heavenly Desolation Sect alone currently has six Nascent Soul True Lord, and its Clan Master is a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Five Nascent Soul True Lord from this lineage have come to this battle, and they have taken on the important task of guarding the secondary array eye, which can be considered as giving their all.

With three of the seven Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein already selected, the remaining individuals took on their respective tasks: the stronger ones were assigned to a single island, while the weaker ones joined forces to guard another Spirit Isle.

After assigning tasks, True Lord Haoran said, "The eighteen Treasure Ship we brought can also play a significant role in combat when needed."

"Leave 100,000 cultivators on each Treasure Ship as a reserve mobile force to support the various Spirit Isle."

"We understand."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. He had already assigned Chen Qinghao and Lin Qianshu, whose combat strength was relatively weak, to guard the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship and the Golden Rhinoceros Treasure Ship, ready to rush to the aid of all parties at any time.

After these tasks were assigned, everyone immediately went down to arrange for the guarding of the Spirit Isle.

However, True Lord Haoran left behind Chen Nianzhi and her dao companion, along with the Heavenly Hut Sect and Heavenly Desolation Sect, totaling four Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.

He smiled slightly and said, "The Vermilion Bird Star Palace area is guarded by people from my Three Vein Ancient Region. Let's take advantage of the remaining time and have a meeting among those of us at the Nascent Soul Late Stage and above."

"Alright."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and followed the True Lord Haoran to a courtyard.

Before long, a group of powerful figures who were renowned throughout the Three Vein Ancient Region gathered together. Some were fellow Daoists whom Chen Nianzhi knew, while others were powerful figures who had been in seclusion for many years before emerging from the mountains.

The group gathered together, exchanging smiles in twos and threes.

For example, the renowned Azure Jade Fairy and the familiar Nine Rivers Daoist were all smiling as they gathered together with Chen Nianzhi, recounting events from recent years.

The Nine Rivers Daoist greeted Chen Nianzhi and then said with a smile, "The territory I guard is Zhang-Moon Deer Domain, which is only five million miles away from you. I hope that you fellow Daoists can help each other out in critical moments."

"That's only natural."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. Five million li was only two days for Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.

Unfortunately, the space around Heaven Scar was unstable, making it impossible to set up Teleportation Array. Otherwise, the pressure on everyone would have been much lighter in this mere few hundred miles of territory.

Seeing this, the Azure Jade Palace Master bowed slightly and said, "The Zhen-Water Earthworm Region that I guard has no Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm experts to protect it. In times of crisis, I hope you can take care of me."

"Rest assured, fairy, we will certainly not stand idly by."

Nine Rivers Daoist smiled slightly. This Azure Jade Palace Master was one of the top ten beauties in the Eastern Wilderness, and her cultivation had recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. Naturally, she was admired by many True Lord, including Nine Rivers Daoist.

However, a princess like Azure Jade Palace Master has very high standards, and it's not easy to win her favor without exceptional qualities.

Everyone present took this opportunity to build rapport with each other, hoping to have someone to rely on during the great battle.

Meanwhile, True Lord Haoran and several other Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm warriors met to discuss countermeasures.

The Flying Feather Pavilion, with a solemn expression and deep-set eyes, said, "Although our Vermilion Bird Star Palace is located on the outer perimeter, we do not have Primordial Spirit Dao Lord to guard it."

"If a Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm Outer Realm Demons were to attack, we would be in grave danger."

The group nodded in agreement. Sea-Calming Daoist said with a solemn expression, "Once a Nascent Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon breaks through the blockade, none of us will be able to stop it."

"Besides relying on the formation, the only way to hold out for a while is to join forces and use the power of the two Pure Yang Spirit Treasure."

True Lord Haoran also took a deep breath, glanced at Sea-Calming Daoist, and said, "If it really comes to that, only if you and I join forces can we hold out for a while and protect the core of the Vermilion Bird Star Palace's formation."

"I hope it doesn't come to that."

The Flying Feather Pavilion Master sighed. With their combat strength, as long as no Nascent Soul demon cultivators came, their chances of survival were extremely high.

Once they reach that point, their chances of returning alive become very slim.

The group gathered for three hours, and after agreeing on a plan for mutual support in offense and defense, Sea-Calming Daoist distributed a set of communication talismans to everyone.

"Although there are communication devices on various Spirit Isle, to be on the safe side, these communication talismans are more reliable in critical moments."

Then everyone dispersed.

Chen Nianzhi returned to the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship and ordered Treasure Ship to fly towards the Vermilion Bird Star Palace. After flying for more than half a month, the group finally arrived at Star-Sun Island.

Upon arriving at Star-Sun Island, Chen Nianzhi gathered the numerous Nascent Soul True Lord together and then activated the map of the entire area surrounding Star-Sun Island.

"Gentlemen, what do you think of these small islands and how should they be arranged?"

Chen Nianzhi looked at the map, his brow furrowing slightly as he pondered, and said, "Star-Moon Island is the core of the array, and there are hundreds of Tier 4 Spirit Isle nearby."

These Spirit Isle are the key points of the Star-Moon Island. Once they are completely breached, the power of the Star-Moon Island will be affected. Therefore, many cultivators need to be dispatched to guard them.

The Heavenly Hut Sect pondered for a moment, then said, "We have a force of three million, so we will allocate two million cultivators to guard these affiliated Spirit Isle."

"Then, how about we assign three Golden Core realm cultivators to each Spirit Isle?"
